I'm in when Stealing makes it in.

I already own the game, so given that tinker traps are in, I might be in shortly.

I can already see my work productivity remaining about the same, except I won't be as bored.

The first non-newbie dungeon is fantastic for cash. You can make about 5k per clear of the 1st floor using a dexxer. If you can scrounge up enough cash to get a 2h silver weapon, then you can kill each mob in about 3-4 swings. Clear the floor in about 15-20 min, run to the bank, dump the stuff, and get back.

Its even faster if you invest in a couple recall runes and a stack of scrolls. Recall scrolls and runes are Blessed and therefore you won't lose them when you die. So you dont have to worry about carrying them with you.

Apparently we're at war with the Spanish now. I'm sorry. It's not totally my fault.

We have some allies though, the Germans have our back.

Usually people online. Ask in discord when you need an invite and make your way to HQ.

Thanks for the invite Goons. Snagged the newbie dexer sword kit and started killing stuff much more effectively.

Does fighting harder stuff increase skill gains any faster?

Nope, it's all classic UO. You gain by use, doesn't matter if you hit a rabbit or a champion.

:siren:LISTEN UP, NERDS - WE ARE MOVING GOON TOWN:siren:

We are moving Goon Town closer to Bucc's Den.
There is a portal from Occlo that goes to this location so although geographically it is further away, the walk is actually faster.

The new location will have structures organised in a more efficient way. It is against server rules to deliberately block off resources from other people by placing a line of houses. Therefore, we will make the Goon Street Gauntlet.
This will mean two rows of houses with a narrow path between them. Pubbies beware, because Goon the Ripper could pop out at any time.

I envision the area looking something like this, HS being House, = being a pathway, HQ being the all new Church of St Lowtax:
code:
|HS|-|HS| 
=====|HS|-|HS|-|HS| Tempting resources
|HQ|=============== Tempting resources
=====|HS|-|HS|-|HS| Tempting resources
|HS|-|HS|
We will be making the move tomorrow (Monday 6th August) so chime in soon if you want to change this. Or just place your houses wherever the gently caress you want because you want to defy your dictator.

We are going to need Mages to make a portal from Current HQ to New HQ so we can move all the poo poo out of the current place. Some people have multiple accounts so an outpost can be made somewhere for safer crafting if so desired.
Dante/Dovestrangler will be using his alt account to ready up Goon Mart.

If all the goons idling in discord are active then we make up roughly 5% of the server population (based on the number of people idling in the official discord). The status quo is a bunch of old money jerking themselves off and a gold rush of new/old players is coming soon.

The joy of playing as goons is inversely proportional to the strictness of anti-griefing protection and this game allows you the ability to behead your foes and mount their heads on your wall.

In as Walter Buttons/Cuck Finn/A MOM and a player to be named later.

Take Magic Resist, Fencing, Tactics and Healing as your four initial skills. Buy up anatomy to 30 after you start. For your last two you could do whatever you want, parry and poisoning is a strong PvP build. Magery helps for quality of life stuff.
Fight in brit sewers level 2 and farm harpys until you have 60ish weapon skills. Then buy a silver weapon and farm deception. You can make your own bandages from taking the cart behind Moonglow to Mag farms and pick cotton, then weave and cut it twice.

Ahhh poo poo, I should have been more clear. Character is already created and I have a few hours loving around. What SKILLS should I macro first before heading to work?

I took Swords, parry, tactics and anatomy. Gonna swing by and buy the MR, healing and magery books.

You're not gonna be buying an MR book, pal.

You can macro healing and swords by hitting on a goon afk and healing them while you swing
