Welcome to Shak's World UO! This Shard is a free shard, meaning you don't have to pay to play. This guide is to allow you to find your way around the shard, so that you won't be lost. Contents {a} Welcome To Shak's World! {b} How to Play {c} Classes {d} Custom Areas {e} Custom Items {f} Custom Monsters {g} Shard Events {h} Currencies {i} Shopping Mall ----------------------------------- Welcome to Shak's World UO! This shard is known as Shak's World. Basically, it is a normal UO shard with a ton of custom things to do. This shard, though, will be mainly RP oriented. If you don't know what RP is, it is Role Play. It's how I have the forums set up, and it's how I have the shard itself set up as well. In this shard, there will be no such thing as malls. If you want to get custom gear, you will need to work for it and trade in currency that is found in dungeons for it at a magic stone for the gear you want. I also want the players to be active in the community and acting like they are real people inside a kingdom. I will have buildings on sale in the cities (Empty buildings that is) for the players to buy if they are interested in it. I will even have custom events (Or try to at least) so that players are not bored. So whether you're here for role playing, here for exploring, or just want a server to have fun on, this server is for you! ----------------------------------- How To Play To play on this shard, you will need a Modain's Legacy client at patch 47 (6.0.0.0) in order to play. I will not allow clients lower than patch 6.0.0.0 to play on the shard. The best way to get the client is to go to EA at this link to download the client. When downloaded and installed, update the game up to patch 6.0.0.0 using UO.exe. I recommend using RAZOR to connect. The RAZOR information you need is the following:
When you are connected, you will start off in a custom room known as the "Hall of Portals" that will lead to various places such as dungeons, towns, events, etc. After that, have fun! ----------------------------------- Classes Shak's World has the following classes you can choose from when you start. The classes are as follows: Warrior Warriors are masters with weapons. They specialize in melee combat and start off with full mail armor. Paladin Paladins, like warriors, are great with weapons. However, they specialize in maces and healing spells. They start off with full mail armor as well. Mage Mages are masters in the arts of magic. They specialize in ranged spells and are not that good with armor. Priests Priests are like mages, but instead of specializing in offensive magic, the Priest specializes in defensive and healing magic. As with the mage, the priests are not good with starting armor. Beast Master Breast Masters are like warriors, but instead of specializing in Melee combat, they specialize in ranged combat. Beast Masters are also great at taming beasts, themselves starting with a higher animal taming then the other classes. Rogue Rogues are crafty fellows. They are able to stealth much better than any other class, and are able to steal much better things as well. However, they start out with light armor that helps with their speed and evasion. Crafter Crafters are not like the other classes. They are not proficient in any combat, can't do magic that well, and can't be that good of a thief unless they train vigorously for it. However, they are able to craft powerful items that can only be crafted from special items that are found only in dungeons, or rare world monsters. It is said that Crafters are even able to craft items that are more powerful then the best armor you can buy in the shard. ----------------------------------- Custom Areas The shard features quite a bit of custom areas. These areas are used for events, dungeons, cities, and more. The following list contains all of the current custom areas:
----------------------------------- Custom Items The shard has many custom items as well. Though this guide won't go in-depth about the items, the items can be found in our showroom which can be accessed via the portal room. ----------------------------------- Custom Monsters The shard has many custom monsters as well. Though this guide won't go in-depth about the monsters, there is a zoo that can be accessed via the portal room that holds information about some, not all, of the monsters. ----------------------------------- Shard Events The shard has many custom events as well. This guide won't talk about the events at all, but the complete list of past, present, and future events can be found in the showroom which can be accessed via the portal room. ----------------------------------- Currencies The shard has custom currencies as well. These currencies go to many things, whether it's world drops or dungeon drops. Each custom dungeon will have its own custom currency, and a special set of armor and weapons that can be obtained with the currencies inside the Rewards Room, which can be accessed via the Portal Room. ----------------------------------- Shopping Mall The shard's Shopping Mall is also known as the Rewards Room, which was mentioned earlier in the guide. The mall has many things you can buy, including add-ons for your home, basic decorations, and even the items you can obtain via special currencies. ----------------------------------- Thank you for reading this guide to Shak's World, I hope it has been helpful to all the new players making their home here on the shard. Hope to see you in game! -Shakar |
