For example, if you wanted to find 'Silver' weapons, you would hunt Orcish Leaders, Ogre Lords, Evil Mage Lords, etc. Historically, you would find the Slayer Types Opposing Groups Slayer Weapons when hunting those Slayer Group Monsters. You will know that a Slayer Weapon is working by the dark star graphic that appears on the Slayer Type that the Slayer Weapon is designed against:Ī Valiant image captured by Khan showing the silver circle on his character when taking a mighty blow from a Psychedelic Drake.Įach Slayer Type has an associated Slayer Group which also has an Opposing Group. Lesser slayers will do slightly more damage to their indicated monster type than Super Slayers. Super Slayers are weapons that do double damage against a whole category of Monsters where Lesser Slayers do double damage against a more specific group of Monsters under a Super Slayer group. Slayer Weapons are grouped into two different categories: Super Slayers and Lesser Slayers. Melee, ranged, spellbooks, and even musical instruments can have Slayer Types applied to them. They do extra damage to their indicated Slayer Group, in addition to the Weapon Modifiers and exceptional crafting bonuses from player made items. In December 2003 two wallpapers bearing that logo were mistakenly released (and quickly removed).Slayer Weapons are both player crafted in the Britain Crafting Area and found from chests and monster loot. One alternate name that may have been used internally for the game early in its production was “ Ultima Online III: The Spirit of Virtue“. More persistent were the players who mistakenly referred to it as UOX. The game was also briefly referred to by UO players as “UO 2.0” although that turned out to be another project entirely (which was also cancelled). See the “Ultima Worlds” section for additional information. Meanwhile, Stephen Emond had this to say about the project in Ultima Online: The Ultimate Collector’s Guide: 2013 Edition : “Despite sharing some similar features to Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa, Ultima X is not the “Project X” he had planned after Ultima IX. That, at least, is what Chris “Binky” Launius speculates may have been the case. Even so, it is a hitherto unknown chapter in the history of Ultima Online, and the Ultima Codex is indebted to Paul Barnett at the team at Mythic Entertainment for allowing it to be shared with the world.Īlternatively, Spirit of Virtue may have been an early name for Ultima X: Odyssey. Some of the screenshot mockups and concept art bear more than a passing similarity to Ultima X: Odyssey, as well.Īs far as Ben is aware, Spirit of Virtue never made it beyond the conceptual/pre-production stage.

The basic idea behind Spirit of Virtue, as Ben “Bandit LOAF” Lesnick of Cloud Imperium Games explained to me, was to enhance Ultima Online with an Ultima 9-style game engine whether this would then have taken advantage of the 3D capabilities of the Third Dawn client, or else would have migrated the game to a wholly new client, is unknown. Tentatively entitled Spirit of Virtue, this project would have likely done away with Ultima Online’s Classic Client.
