I could have used those spell book straps a couple of weeks ago when I accidentally added 20 invasion spell books to an inscription BoD.
That's supposed to be Mummy 🙂
LOL I know it's supposed to be Mummy...but Nummy is so much cooler!
You guys are awesome 🙂
now i will demand a Nummy statue !!!
Book straps are a great idea, except since they're Vet rewards and most of my chars would like one there's no way I could get enough of them.
i really want the pirate shield and wonder what stats it will get
Check it out on TC1 and report back 🙂
Kyronix I just have to say that I love you have been active on the forums. I'm going to test now to check it out thanks.
nothing new at bucs den get arties seems greyed out
I blew 50 bucks couple years back to buy the wedding set from UO store just to get 2 "Top Hats" for a Steampunk look 🙂 Only good for pimping around town before morph potion. Now I will have to decide what headgear to use to morph them! I also like the looks of the craftable dragon scale helm with the curved horns as a morph destination.
hi will the book strap be blessed?
I want to make sure, being on siege I want to know before I claim it.
TY 🙂
sorry forgot to ask, which year will these vet rewards be attached to, and can only people with that year be able to use them?
TY 🙂
I don't know why but I dreamed the Pet Castle would allow us to display our favorite pet lol
TBH the only useful item is
Spellbook & Runebook Straps
The rest are ok.
Of all of the lockdowns that need to be eased up, SS's were not one of them. Just my opinion, and I own over 100.
Add me to the list requesting some modification to the strap delivery method. This is something that virtually every type of character could make use of... I know even my melee and tamers have many spellbooks and rune books in their packs that could benefit from organizing.
1 per vet reward makes them almost unattainable for all characters. Either you need to get several per reward pick (at least 5 on production) or there needs to be an alternative way to acquire them. Heck, I would be ok if you put them in the store for 100 sovereigns.
It's probably way to late to make changes now, but I'd have made the vet reward a book similar to the gargoyle 'mining for stone' etc books, claim the reward, read with your tailor, be able to craft the strap from leather - maybe require some tinkering skill too to make the buckle?
I have a question about the book straps, I know I will check it out on TC when that comes but just was thinking, is it going to be holding all spell books at once in your chars hands all the time?
this mean you have all slayers equipped always, or am I reading this wrong?
As mentioned above I requested that it be blessed. And a comment on here was the most vet rewards are blessed, I want the devs to make sure it is 100% blessed, don't exclude it being blessed on siege please.
TY 🙂
BOOKSTRAPS will need to be tested a lot. I have Rune Books set to different default spots and all are a different colors so I know where I am going. If I put all my rune books together with the straps do I lose that ability or will I have to go to additional menus to get to the defaults of all my books. This sounds nice but may not be for everyone.
Honestly that's what my bag looked like up until I forced myself to be more efficient with my books after taking on a whole bunch more after the Invasions. I was carrying around a good half dozen runebooks, too.
I really hope these things won't be shard-bound))
If you're going to make book straps blessed, make sure you can only put blessed books in them or that unblessed books fall out on death, at least on Siege. I don't think this is something that can be tested on TC because I don't know that there are any unblessed spellbooks on prodo shards.
The last thing anyone wants is more blessed items with properties on Siege. It was already messed up with the blessed invasion spellbooks. We don't want another incident like what happened with the transmog potions.
On a separate note, as someone who spends a lot of time looking inside of player's backpacks, this could save me a few critical seconds when choosing which goodies I want, so.... well done... maybe.
The book straps are nice what's next weapons racks for the 9 swords i carry..
Ah, see, baby steps here. Let's just finally get the container which we can feel safe putting our precious blessed books into. Expanded functionality or one that gives a benefit beyond the organizational could come later.
The problem with absorbing the spell books is you lose the unique slayer capabilities of the books. I carry a minimum of 20 slayer spell books with me and equip the one I need to fight a particular mob.
Ideally the straps will bring the item count down to one so I can collect 19 more loot items.
what if these are just a book straps that holds the books, but you still have to take the book out that you need to hold. That make more sense
If its absorbing the books, then that would be messy. What if I want a book out of the rune book straps, change it or pass to my alt for whatever reason. They don't carry all the same books on my chars.
Yes stinky pete, can't have everything blessed on siege, but if they are already blessed, why take blessed books put them into a none blessed bag (book straps) and have it all go to your corpse when you dye
It can not absorb slayers and use them. How would we choose the slayer? Spell books have other stats. Just like an instrument, you have to select which slayer.
Popps asked for a way to carry books separate from other things in the back pack. We got that.
If they stay in the bag after res, they serve their purpose. I would get them if they were from the Huntsmaster Challenge.
It's a preferential thing. I don't like the runic atlas, it's too big.
Crafters are not the same, unless you go kill dragons and balrons on your crafter. If you die, all that stuff in the box goes into your main backpack..TOTAL nightmare.
My crafter only has a few runebooks and I do the same thing to organize because there is no fear of my crafter dying.
This will be another gump I will have to have open on my screen because the macro I use for the bandaids will not work unless it's open. I don't want to have to open another bag within my bag to use a spellbook/runebook.
I am very glad they are putting this on test center.
Just saying it would take a lot of programming to allow the satchel choose the book. That is not how UO is coded.
I would be happy if it is more advanced than I think it will be.
My main issue with "equip last weapon" is the weapon goes into a random spot and I have to find it after I die or make changes.
We shall soon find out what it does!
I wish it were an item that you could lock down in your house. That held up to 300 spell books, and took up 1 lockdown! THAT would be a vet reward worth spending a pick on. As it is, I'm not so sure.
There is NO WAY I'm spending a VET Reward on a Book Strap! Nope Not Happening!
My sdi mage has 13+ spellbooks a vet reward pick was well worth it
