Is there a reason why UO keeps useless skills?. I remember needing taste and especially item identification back in 1998. With the begging skill they at least allow some special items to get gotten during certain events. I read forensic eval allows quicker gains in honesty but that is not really needed.
Why doesn’t UO expand these skills that have been sitting there for going on 30 years? Just make 1 tweak a year. Like this year give a bonus to other skills if you have a useless skill so while you may not use it, it atleast gives a passive reason for having it. For example, give summoned creatures a bonus if you have the tracking skill. Maybe even just that energy vortex or summoned scorpion has a damage increase or increased timer. There’s really so much they could do with these skills but seem to have done nothing that I could tell after returning to UO after being away a long time.
