All such windows in the game can be moved by clicking and dragging them to another location on your screen. Many can be minimized by clicking on the minus sign (-) on the window.

Your name will also reflect your reputation (the reputation system is explained further along in the playguide).

To equip an item, drag it onto your paperdoll. It will automatically be placed in the correct slot for that item. Some items, such as bracelets, necklaces, and rings, may be difficult to see on your paperdoll.

You may then drag any skills you wish into the new group. Once you establish the new group, you can rename it by highlighting the words New Group and typing over them. You may make multiple new groups if you wish. You may delete any of the four default groups by completely emptying it of all the skills it originally contained.

To evoke a skill, open the scroll and click on the blue gem. Guild - The Guild button opens up the Guild interface.

Your location within the map is noted by a single white dot. You may toggle between small and large map windows by clicking the Map button or press ALT + R.

Helpful hints From uo.com Don't be afraid to ask other players for help if you're confused. But do remember to keep in mind rules of common etiquette. Always remember that other players are people just like you. If you know a trade skill (such as fishing, or tailoring), with a very small investment in raw materials, you may start making items and selling them for profit quite quickly. The color of each character's name gives you important information about them: Blue: This player or NPC is a good citizen of Britannia Red: This player or NPC has committed murder. Orange: This player is an enemy guild or faction member Grey: This player has been flagged as a criminal for a recent action Green: This player is an ally guild mate or faction member Shopkeepers inventory may change with supply and demand. If you can't find the item you're looking for in a city, you may wish to visit player-run vendors, commonly found in and around houses in the wilderness. A great way to meet other players is by participating in player-run events and quests The Ultima Online skill system allows you to customize your character any way you want. If you decide you want to change the focus of your character and are no longer interested in a particular skill, just flag that skill to decay by toggling the 'down' arrow next to it in your skill list. As you learn other skills, the decaying skill will lose points over time. Use your bank vault. It's free after all! Store valuables in your bank vault before heading off into the wilderness. If you run into trouble, you'll know that your valuable items are safe in town. Top Ten Ways to Make Gold Money makes the world go round – whether this world, or Britannia. Use this list of tips and suggestions whenever you need to line your pockets. 1. Scavenge around town banks. People often drop lesser magical weapons, wands, and other sellable items on the ground. However, it’s always wise to ask out loud before grabbing items. 2. Mining. Spend some of your gold on a few mining picks and start gathering ore from the nearest mountain range. Once you reach a skill of 50, smelt the ore to sell to other players or vendors. 3. Buy a cotton or wool at the tailor shop and make cloth to sell. Once you’ve gathered wool or cotton, double-click a spinning wheel to target the wool and create balls of yarn. Balls of yarn can be double-clicked and targeted on a loom to create cloth. 4. Politely ask another character for some help. Do not specifically ask for gold, and do NOT spam the question repeatedly. Many times a helpful person will assist you with resources (be it gold, ingots, or even weapons and armor) in addition to their tutelage. 5. If you are a fighter, purchase a weapon and kill undead at the Newbie Dungeon. You can go to the Newbie Dungeon using the Travel Stone 6. Kill cows, and use a bladed weapon on the corpse. This will produce a pile of hides. You can then use scissors on the hides to make them lighter. Tailors (players, not shopkeepers) will be interested in buying your hides for a fair price. 7. Collect kindlings and sell it to campers 8. Join events 9. Grab an axe, head to the forest, and lumberjack. Use a carpentry tool to make the logs you lumber into the lighter boards. Sell your lumber to players and NPC shopkeepers. 10. Collect reagents from vendors, on the ground, and from monsters. You can often find other players interested in buying reagents, especially in bulk.
