2. I bought a carpentry powerscroll and paid 25,000 for it only to
receive the message "your skill is too high" .....so is my scroll
a wasted purchase? (i still have it)
lindon
Ps the powerscroll is for 120..my goal ....... skill is currently 46...?
1. you can name them using an engraver. It's something you can craft with tinkering, but it requires quite a high skill.
2. i'm afraid it might have been. A powerscroll only raises your skill cap. By default, all your skills are capped at 100. If you eat a 110 powerscroll, you then get the possibility of training your carpentry up to 110. Once you would get to 110, you would need a 115 or 120 to have the ability to train even further. Or, ofcourse instead of slowly raising the limit, you can just start with the 120.
If your skillcap is already 120, then if you try to eat a 120 (or anything lower), you get the message that it would be a waste to use it.

*nods* If you can't use the scroll, you probably already used one of the same in the past. To check your max level for a skill, click "Show Caps" in your Skills menu. You may only be in the 40s with that skill right now, but your max allowable may very well already have been 120.
As for the engravers, you need 90 Inscription and 80 Tinkering, just so you know.
It's far more effective to let a pet do the fighting for you, unless you're talking about the weaker mounts. But in the case of, say, a nightmare....let it fight for you. But if your pet is a horse, better use it as a mount.
As for pets taking hits while mounted....I seem to remember that back when swamp dragons first came out they were maybe supposed to have a feature where they took some hits for the rider, but I honestly don't know that I ever noticed a difference. In short though, I don't think that there's any real bonus to riding a pet except for the movement speed gained.
And on to spellweaving....it's been deactivated here, so you can forget it exists. I know I have.
A mount basically turns into a passive equipment on your character when you mount it. So like cope said, if you mount it you dont get anything from it than faster movement. And the mount doesnt take any hits for you. Altho this would be a nice thing to implement, then even your mount could die and you'd be thrown from it
As for the spellweaving, we have the levelable items. When we were implementing this, the whole spellweaving idea was very complex, so we decided to go for the levelable items. Then runuo2 came out with spellweaving alread on it. Perhaps sometime in the future this might be changed, but not anytime soon.

Well, now i know what your email is so i will know if you donate. You can also [pm me in game. As for donating, you can either send the money via paypal to [email protected], or use the button on the donation page (probably the most simple way).
When i click on this link i get message that default client is not properly installed????
Using uogateway? I think you need to reinstall uogateway. Or if that doesnt work, uninstall gateway, reinstall client, and install gateway again.
I know, the whole thing is not very user friendly. but at least it's free.
