FoF for 7/03/09: Happy 4th of July

In this week's Five on Friday we cover Champ/Harrower titles, Faction Stat Loss, and Gargoyle flying.

Why is faction stat loss not a hardcapped loss? It should not just be a mere inconvenence where you put on different +skill jewels. Also the minimum stealing skill should be moved to 90 so even in stat a thief with 120 cannot keep dieing and coming back to steal the sigils over and over.

I don’t believe jewelry and other modification methods were take into account when the statloss for factions was originally implemented.

Could you explain how the Champ/Harrower titles work, where you get them, and the sequence they go in? Most of the information on them online is pretty old, and other sources are incomplete. Thanks so much if you can help me out!

Titles are essentially based on how many monsters you’ve killed (and gained points for) in the Champion Spawns. There are three basic tiers for titles, and every tier has a title for that specific group. Whichever group you have the most points in is what your title will become. Tiers 1 and 2 can be gained by killing those monsters, but Tier 3 requires you to defeat that Champion.
Stratics has an excellent article on it here: http://uo.stratics.com/content/guides/c ... uide.shtml
The chart below includes the additional, missing titles from the newer Champion Spawns.

In addition to these tiered versions, there are also titles for those who have defeated the Harrower. These titles take precedence over the ones above, and are based on how many other Champions you’ve defeated.
  • Spite of Evil
  • Opponent of Evil
  • Hunter of Evil
  • Venom of Evil
  • Executioner of Evil
  • Annihilator of Evil
  • Champion of Evil
  • Assailant of Evil
  • Purifier of Evil
  • Nullifier of Evil

Does Eval Int affect the damage output of the spellweaving spells?

No it does not, I would say.

It's been mentioned that Gargoyles will be able to fly as fast as a mounted person running....will they be able to dismount a person on mount...and still fly at mounted speed? If so, that will lead to a HUGE disadvantage to any non gargoyle race. How's this going to work out? can you shed some light please.

When it comes to dismounting another player, a flying gargoyle will be subject to the same restrictions as a human or elf on a mount.

When you have equipment with Spell Damage Increase on does it increase the potency on positive spells such as bless and heal?

No it doesn't.

If they cover gargoyle flying in one more FoF question... So help them.

Gargoyle flying = mounted human/elf
Same restrictions/penalties.

Not a difficult concept.
'nuff said.
