¶ Welcome to UO Strange Earth Wiki, a very retro, and fresh shard!
Our passion for creating a nostalgic UO shard but with modern day creature comforts has been in the makings since 2020. I am honored to announce that this shard is now open to the public as a Beta. Beta? An early version that contains most of the major features, but not all of the milestones are completed.
We are currently running with 1080 Skill caps with stats capped at 350 (150 being the highest per stat). Due to the retro feel, we encourage adventures to take up 2 accounts max.
Your adventure awaits! Client connection information can be found here.
Our staff is constantly hard at work and are pretty laid back. Shard is full of all sorts of goodies. You just never know what they might publish next.
This is not your traditional wiki. On the left menu you have core icons but should you wish to go exploring, I recommend switching to the folder view. There is also a global search box at the top of this wiki which also does a pretty good job.
¶ Patch release notes 5/7/23 - Big one!
Get ready for some exciting updates to enhance your gameplay experience!
We're thrilled to announce that we're bringing some major changes to the drops in-game. From now on, dragon claws will be dropping in place of the Essenceofdragonflames. Not only does this make them stackable, but it also makes room for new exciting possibilities! And don't worry, all past Essenceofdragonflames drops will remain in-game as art decor, so you can still appreciate their beauty.
As if that wasn't exciting enough, we're also introducing a brand new custom mini champ spawn for MastersOfArts. The location is currently located in both the lands of Trammel and Felucca , so get ready to explore and embark on a thrilling adventure!
We understand how tedious crafting can be, so we're introducing a new feature that dynamically pulls resources from storage keys when available. This will save you time and effort, so you can focus on what you do best - crafting and creating!
And last but not least, we've finally managed to patch the back-end spawner bug that was causing headaches for our staff. So now we can all breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the game even more!
Stay tuned for more exciting updates, including the highly anticipated Taming bulk order deeds! And if you wish to exchange your past Essenceofdragonflames for the new stackable dragon claw, simply visit the Luna bank exchange stones.
