Request: Character Title

Post by JimTheDM »

I found this info about how titles are created in UO and thought that this would be a good addition to the Wiki:

When a character has one skill over 30 the character is assigned a professional title that indicates their primary skill. This title is not shown to other players until you reach a higher level of fame, but there is a sense of satisfaction when one achieves the title they have been looking for. There is also certain amount of pride that goes along with saying “I’m a merchant” and having the professional title to prove it. The skill that is displayed in your paperdoll is, by default, the highest skill that you have that is marked up (to raise the skill).

No this is in reference to which one shows in the title. I have checked the wiki and have not found it anywhere as to what controls the one that is seen and this addresses that.

That is a good add on Ilsanor. My main reason for posting was because I did not know what was causing my title to change and it is due to the skill that is the highest and it is set to raise that controls that in the title.

Well, you got your answer and more. :) I heard people asking a couple of times for such a list so I'm sure it'll come in handy.

As a wiki editor, it can be taxing to add information that is the same as what is on many other uo wikis/guides/etc. That being said, there's also a chance those sites just might go dead, but uoguide and many other uo informational sites are still going strong after many many years. Their information isn't always the same as what is on our shard, and that's where our wiki comes in.

What could be added to our wiki is how the title information works on our custom shard (if it differs), then link to another external uo guide/wiki page that maps the skills to their professional titles that show up on your paperdoll.

A good example of external linking is on the http://www.uoex.net/wiki/Relayer page. There are currently external links to uoguide for each item slot, each lists all the item types for that slot.
----
If anyone finds information that is missing, you can always add it yourself. You can log in to the wiki with the same credentials as the forums if you want to edit the wiki. If you aren't familiar with editing, formatting, and mediawiki tags. You can read up on it here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki.

You can also view the page source of any particular wiki page, to see how it was formatted.

As for adding character titles, as I'm not sure how it differs from OSI, but the page to add this to would probably be:

Well, the site I found it had the titles separately - each under its own skill, so it'd be tedious to link each entry separately. UOGuide had no information on skill titles altogether (which I found strange). I confess I didn't search very thoroughly, but I did not find a ready-made table for the titles that would be linkable. Hence I posted the list, hoping that someone will either convert it to a wiki standard or use as it is. It was by no means to duplicate something available elsewhere.

It can't possibly make gameplay easier in any way :P
