Welcome

Welcome to the web site of The Royal Britannian Guards. Please have a look around and share in our founder, Zeke Stargazer's vision. We seek new members who share our values of Honor, Courage, and Loyalty. Thank you for visiting.

Daria Blackmoore
Guild Leader

The Royal Britannian Guards guild is an organized association of people who enjoy roleplay and interaction in the lands of Ultima Online. Inspired by the Commander of the Royal Britannian Guard, Myrina Heron; the guild brings people who wish to be Royal Guards together on the Chesapeake Shard. It is a simple way to unite the Royal Guards and people who wish to be them.

You will see that there are no obligations to fulfill and no events you have to attend (although we'd love to see you there!). It is just a place to have fun. Also, we do not condone player murder and do not war.However we do offer wars under sister guilds for fun. For a definition of the difference between murder and killing please see our library section. If you don't play the game that much, don't sweat it. Whenever you do play, you should be able to find another member to interact with.

The best part about the guild is its' many diverse people. We have folks from Switzerland to Mississippi and we promote team work and not just an "on your own" roleplaying experience! The goal of this guild is to bring unity to people who wish to be in the Royal Britannian Guards.

Thank you for taking your time to check us out. If you feel your style of play matches ours please apply using the link below, so we will know you are interested.

(UO News) Ultima's Oldest Houses!

, Feb 2, 12 1:49 PM.

Calling all house owners!
Do you have a house that is 10 years old or more? We, in collaboration with the UO Team, want to locate them all.

Mesanna is asking for Vet Houses to step right up! Submit your house information if you have a house placed for 10+yrs to receive in game recognition of your accomplishments!

Fill in our simple form and tell us about it. Where is it? Shard, facet, co-ordinates. Find these with a sextant if you need to. Tell your friends too, we want to find every home 10 years and older on all shards. Help us find them all, Mesanna is counting on us!

Find the 'information' page on the house sign, enter the date in the same format as it is shown on the sign ( 2001-10-05 for the house pictured)

If you have a screenprint of the house, include a url please, or post it on a thread in the Homes and Castles Forum and include the thread link instead.
All the homes submitted will be featured in our Homes and Castles Reviews Section as we receive them.

(EM Event Information) Twisted Turns, Plundered Paths

, Feb 2, 12 1:36 PM.

We apologize for the delay in this being posted.

This is a very long and detailed static quest with 6 different paths. Books are located in game at the HoC building that have the following information.

Each path in this quest has it’s own story and it’s own information and solutions. While a few paths may share some NPC’s these paths are still vastly different. Each path has a differing level of difficulty, with the first path being the easiest and the 6th being very difficult.
The only common hint for all paths is to remember what you’ve done in the past, remember what you’ve done on Chesapeake, and remember what you’ve seen.
Also, Greetings is a common Britannian form of hello!

Path 1 begins with David the Jailor at Trinsic Jail, Trammel.

Path 2 begins with Miranda the Noblewoman in East Britain

Path 3 begins with Haku the Guard in Zento

Path 4 begins with Cornelius the Broker in Buc’s Den

Path 5 begins with Cornelius the Broker in Buc’s Den

Path 6 is only given a riddle as the starting point.
It’s going to cost you more than you think to check this out. Begin again where you once were, at a place where little causes a stir.

It is highly recommended that you complete paths 1-5 before attempting path 6.

If you are able to complete either path 5 or path 6, we ask a few things. First and foremost, please do not cheat and help other players through who are not putting forth any effort. These are meant to be challenging, not cheated. An enormous amount of effort was put into this quest and we ask that you respect that. If you want to help people that is perfectly fine and even encouraged, but please do not just give away the answers. Thank you for your consideration.

Beyond that, if you finish path 5 or 6, we ask that you please email EMDrosselmeyer@gmail.com with how you got through the paths, what the end of the path was, and solutions to any and all codes and puzzles found along the way. You will need to please include your main character’s name as well. These may also be submitted in game via the HoC mailboxes located north of Britain Moongate, Trammel. Thank you and Enjoy!

Publish 74 Hits 1/31/12

, Jan 30, 12 7:26 PM.

Greetings,

We will push Publish 74.0 to all shards during the next maintenance cycle, in the early morning of January 31.

Here are the complete notes for your reading pleasure, enjoy and see you in the game!

Publish 74.0

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Yes, love is in the air so please celebrate this day with our gift to you to remember it. You will find a cupid statue in your packs and a cupid arrow. Use the arrow by double clicking and targeting anything mobile. The arrow will then retain the name of your true love. Use it wisely because this arrow will only work in the month of February. You will get your gift the first of February.

Live Arc Started

You will be noticing we have added town loyalty, please pick the town you are the fondest of, you can only have loyalty to one town. Starting this month and continuing thru September the UO Team and the EM Team have worked together to create something we are very excited about. So keep your ears and eyes open for the next phase in this adventure as we prepare in the coming months for our 15th Anniversary!

Bulk Order Revamp

Bulk Order Caching
- NPCs will now allow cache up to 3 bulk order deeds for players
- All BODs are limited to one every six hours; this is no longer dependent on crafting skill level
- The system will “cache” up to 18 hours worth of BOD give outs
- Players may claim all 3 deeds in quick succession
- Turning in a BOD adds a new deed to the cache (up to 3)
- Example: Log in after 18 hours and receive 3 deeds
- Example: Receive 3 deeds, then turn in 3 filled deeds, and immediately receive 3 new deeds
Bulk Order Bribery
- Players may now grease the palms of NPCs that give out Bulk Order Deeds
- The NPC will accept a bribe from the player in order to upgrade a BOD to a better one
  - Upgrades: Quantity, Quality, Material
  - Can only upgrade completely empty deeds
- NPCs will become more greedy over time and ask for higher bribes
  - Higher level deeds also require higher bribes
- NPCs who are bribed frequently will come under Guild scrutiny, and stop accepting bribes for a short time
- To start the process, select the Bribe context menu option on the NPC, and follow the instructions!

If you want to do normal runic crafting then be near a regular forge, if you want to use the Reforging Tool then you must be near a soul forge. To use the Re-Forging option of your runic tool you must have a minimum of 65 Imbuing skill. The higher your Imbuing skill the more options available to you.

Runic Re-Forging
- For Stygian Abyss accounts, players may now use Runic Hammers to “re-forge” items
- Re-Forging requires that the user use a Runic tool near a Soul Forge
  - Soul Forge bonuses DO NOT apply to Runic Re-Forging
- If a Runic tool is used away from a Soul Forge, or by a non-entitle account, it behaves as a classic Runic crafting tool
- Re-Forging Basics
  - Re-Forging requires a non-magical craftable item that is not made from special materials
  - Re-Forging will consume one or more charges from the runic tool to add magical item properties to the item
  - The user choose from a number of options to affect the results of the re-forging
  - Each option selected increases the charges required to perform the action
  - If no options are selected, the tool will add item properties randomly to the item, similarly to classic Runic crafting
  - The following options affect the result:
    - Powerful Re-Forging: causes the item to have slightly more magical power
    - Structural Re-Forging: causes the item to have more magical power, but the item will be Brittle
      - Fortified Re-Forging: causes the brittle item to have higher durability
    - Fundamental Re-Forging: causes the item to have significantly more magical power, but the item cannot be repaired. Its durability will be increased.
      - Integral Re-Forging: further increases the durability of the “cannot be repaired” item
    - Grand Artifice: guarantees that the resulting item will have one name, either a prefix or a suffix
      - Inspired Artifice: allows you to choose which name will be added to the item.
      - Exalted Artifice: guarantees that the item will have two names, both a prefix and a suffix
        
        Sublime Artifice: allows you to choose a name to be added to the item. You must use both Inspired Artifice and Sublime Artifice in conjunction if you wish to choose both names to add to the item
  - Some options require other options to be set:
    - Fortified Re-Forging requires Structural Re-Forging
    - Integral Re-Forging requires Fundamental Re-Forging
    - Inspired Artifice requires Grand Artifice
    - Exalted Artifice required Grand Artifice
    - Sublime Artifice requires Exalted Artifice
  - Higher-level tools:
    - Have higher budgets for adding item properties
    - Grant more properties
- Runic tools can be combined together if they are exactly the same type
  - Their charges will be combined into one tool
  - Only works if the resulting tool has 100 or less charges
  - To combine tools, double-click one tool while near a Soul Forge and target the other tool

Mobs in Wrong can drop Mondain’s Legacy items, but not Gargoyle items

The Prison of Nightmares

- Watch out for the Jailor – he will put you back in your cell!
- Find the treasure room and steal some enchanted items
  - Watch out, these items have a security enchantment
  - You must escape with the item to lift the enchantment that binds it to the treasure room
  - New Item Property: Assassin Honed (found on items in the treasure room) – A successful hit with a weapon will provide additional bonus damage based on the attacker facing the same direction as the target. The percentage of the damage is based on the weapons original swing speed. Ranged weapons have a 50% chance to proc.

HoC Meeting Notes - 1/29/12

, Jan 30, 12 7:15 PM.

This weeks meet and greet with EM Drosselmeyer provided a glimpse of the upcoming quest about to go live on the Chesapeake shard. The quest slated to begin 1/31/12 at 9pm EST looks to be quite the grand event. This static event will have multiple start points and endings with varying difficulties for the beginning questor, to the most experienced it should be something for everyone herein. Dross informed those in attendance that each level from 1to 6 would increase in diffculty with level 6 in his own words would be “difficult, obnoxious, and debilitaing!” Also noteworthy was the announcement that level 5 and 6 would also require the emailing or dropping off in game of a detailed book chronicaling what was done, how it was accomplished, to reach each’s end solution. This book should include the players name and contact info as well. Dross proclaimed his email would be checked very frequently to aid those with questions about any of the paths of the quest. We look forward to this new and excited adventure!

New event fiction would soon be up as well noted Dross as he also spoke of growing civil unrest amongst nobility and commoners alike around the realm. This past weeks tavern night elaborated somewhat to that effect. Duely noted were the mention of a new em event schedule that should be up by next Sunday’s HoC as well as that even though it’s not only the Big Day for bagball in rl but also Drosselmeyer’s Birthday! This Sundays meeting would still go on. See you guys along the quest trail and next Sunday’s eve! GO PATS!

For years I forged my spirit through the study of swordsmanship, confronting every challenge steadfastly. The walls surrounding me suddenly crumbled. Like pure dew reflecting the world in crystal clarity, total awakening has now come.
