Battle Chicken Lizard Color Chart


There are 20 possible colors and the color you hatch is strictly up to RNG. There are no "Rare" colors.

Luck Suit


This suit is *almost* max luck. I'm missing 115 possible luck points between my gloves, sleeves, and legs. The account is also my eight year old one, NOT my twelve year old one, so that is another source of more luck in the future.
I tossed in a lucky coin with the luck suit on and wouldn't you know, I got a 300 LUCK BONUS!
SO, my conclusions from this are: wearing a max luck gear suit it is possible to build to 1910 luck. Add in 800 from being a 12th year Vet acct and 300 from the lucky coin toss bonus EQUALS.......3010 LUCK! Hopefully I'll have a screenie of that soon!

This is my best effort to help the ppl that havent become familiar with this part of SA.
The Large Dots are the Quest Givers and the corrosponding smaller dot(s) are the place to get the quest items.

Yellow Dot
Barrerak- his blessed goblin polymorph ring


He wants a Red Herring which can be caught fairly close to the entrance. There are two sparkles in the Undead Room (bone mages, shades, etc.) If you take the sparkle to the South, it will teleport you to a nice quiet place to fish. I'd recommend taking your fisherman there and stockpiling Red Herrings at your house for your characters, that way, they can take the fish to the quest giver and be done without running back and forth.
This is not the easiest place to get to. There are wolf spiders and other meanies along the road once you get close. You have to go around the north side and snake around to see him. He is at a dead end. I'd suggest to have a invis-self macro set up, as this will help you cycle thru the "accept quest" option once you get there. Once you've accepted, highlight the fish as a quest item and recall out.
The reward is Barreraak's Old Beat Up Ring which is blessed and when worn, turns you into a Goblin. I think that it is worth doing.


Red Dot
Flint- Flint's Pungent Brew


This is a long over-do item quest for Ultima. This is a Quest for BEER. Specifically, Flint Pungent Brew! Definitely a must do quest. It is also the easiest quest to complete.
This is a two part quest that can be done at once since it is just gathering items. Go to the two small reds dots and look for Barrels of Barley on the southern most red dot and Flint's Logbook on the one slightly north of that. This is the same graphic as the Book of Truth.
Once you have the four barrels and the logbook, you can recall out to get back to him, or just simply run back. You get a bottle of brew for the barrels and a keg for the Logbook. Be warned: he says that the brew is too strong for regular bottles and that you have to hold on to the original bottle he gave you!

Pink Dot
Jaaca -
Recipe for a Bowl of Rotworm Stew

This is a two-part quest that has to be done separately. Go see Jaaca and accept quest, then head off to far northwest part of the dungeon. You can easily kill the 10 green Goblins. Then, return and accept the second part which is to kill any 10 Blood named creatures, be it Blood Eles or Bloodworms. Since the Bloodworms (fat worms) spawn near the entrance, I choose to place the small pink dot there. Go back to visit Jaaca and she'll reward you with a recipe for a Bowl of Rotworm Stew and the second quest you get a pointless bag of junk/items. I'd get the recipe, and not accept the second part. Not worth your time.


Light Blue Dot

Xenrr's Quest - Xenrr's Fishing Pole


This goblin quest giver is pretty far back, but gives a very cool item. Our first real arty fishing pole. And all you have to do is catch a Mud Puppy while you fish for your Red Herrings for your other characters! I repeated the dots on the fishing places, just to be thourough! Remember, accept the quest and then go fishing, I don't know if you can catch a Mud Puppy otherwise....


Green Dot

Elder Dugan - "Missing" - Reward: Candlewood Torch, Blessed SC -1


This quest can be accepted when you do the quest for Flint to get your beer! Accept the quest and go back toward the entrance. there is a swamp looking area where there are four torsos of dead people. These are the remains of Elder Dugans companions. Kill the rotworms (the smaller worms) there and the evidence of their demise, small scrolls, will drop in your pack. When you have four of them, return to Dugan and he'll reward you with the nicest torch in game. Besides being blessed, which is so nice, you can also equip items in your right hand while holding this torch! Highly recommend this quest. Easy with a nice reward!

Van's Pup Piper



























































My Lab - Sugar




The day I bought my new lab. She is four months old now and retrieving tennis balls and duck dummys pretty well. Every once in a while, she'll go get the duck, look at me, then run the other way! She thinks she is really cute like that.....

Real Gardening and Farming VS Pixel Plants







Just for Van.....

I was visiting the new building being constructed by our EMs
for the event rewards tonight and ran into EM Cernunnos. After chatting for a few minutes, I mentioned that I had a museum of sorts and he asked for a tour...
I considered it a pleasure to give one of our EMs a tour of my humble display of UO items. He also disclosed that there are only certain times that they have all their abilities. I have a sash from EM Kasaven in the museum but never got one from him. After seeing the sash from Kasaven, he expressed regret that he could no longer create the sashes and he regretted not being able to contribute to the museum.

I, for one, applaud the EMs for the efforts that they are going to so we can again have events in UO. I think that alot of the work they do goes unheralded and I am sure that it is more to the events than we know. I look forward to visiting the Catskills EM museum once completed and will post some pics when it is done.
