UORPG ENCYCLOPEDIA

Overview

The World

Altair is the central hub city — a safe zone where characters can rest AFK without risk. It hosts two NPC vendors: Zaira (consumables, badges, Kings Hill challenges) and Reinar (special items for God Stones). Two moongates lead from Altair: the Arena for Fun (practice PvP — no item loss, but durability applies) and Occlo (popular full-loot dueling spot).

The four faction capitals — Quintar and Rheos (Order) and Aiventis and Maradun (Chaos) — serve as headquarters and Siege of the Capital targets. Trinsic is the Renegade capital. Each main city contains a Newbie Dungeon portal (levels 0–7), a Newbie Trader, and a Bank.

Dual Projections

Factions

After the Battle of Quintary shattered the Holy Empire, two war alliances formed: Order and Chaos. Faction choice is permanent for special classes. Renegades belong to no alliance and can attack anyone — and be attacked by anyone.

Order Alliance Order

Chaos Alliance Chaos

Renegades

Traitors and outcasts. Trinsic is their capital. Renegades can attack any player — including each other. They cannot capture Guard Posts, attack defence crystals, or earn military ranks. However they still receive the damage bonus percentage corresponding to their accumulated fame. In the Siege of the Capital, Renegades begin on the attackers' side, switching to defenders once the crystal falls below 50% HP.

Classes

Eight classes divide into two groups. The first four are faction-neutral; the second four are special faction-specific classes with unique abilities. No universal skill or stat cap applies — all values scale with character level (0–12).

Class Overview

Base Stat Comparison — Level 0 → Level 12

Each primary stat increases by 15 per level; secondary stats increase by 10 per level. Beyond level 12, additional bonuses apply via the server's separate level progression system.

Equipment Restrictions

• Mages and Necromancers — cannot equip chainmail or platemail armor.
• Vampires — cannot equip any Order-aligned items.
• Paladins — cannot equip Chaos items, battle axes, or sickles.

Combat System

UORPG combat differs substantially from standard Ultima Online. Damage depends on both the relevant weapon skill and the character's Strength stat. Casting speed is constant — it does not scale with any skill or stat. Spells can be cast while moving, but the target must be selected before casting starts (no precast system).

Weapon Type Mechanics

OVERDAM — Total Damage System

The OVERDAM (Total Damage) system dynamically protects players who are being mass-attacked. The more damage received per second — and the more players involved in the attack — the higher the OVERDAM point accumulation on the target. These points dynamically increase both the defence and the damage output of that target. Massing attacks on a single target is therefore not always optimal; the target becomes progressively harder to kill and strikes back harder as the assault escalates.

Fame & Military Ranks

Maximum fame is 40,000. Fame grants a military title and a bonus to all damage output. Fame is earned by killing NPC bosses in the War Projection and participating in events. On death: −2.5% fame if killed by a mob; −5% fame transferred to the killer if killed by a player.

Marshal / Lord is awarded monthly to the player who contributed most to their alliance's war effort in the previous month. Renegades receive the damage % matching their fame level but hold no rank title.

Bandage Healing System

Bandage healing on UORPG is a unique two-stage toggle system:

• First bandage use — activates the healing process.
• Second bandage use — stops healing and instantly restores HP.
• Sustaining healing without a second use will fully restore HP automatically once the timer completes.
• Taking any physical damage while healing cancels the bandage and applies a +25% incoming damage penalty for the heal's remaining duration. Magic damage does not trigger the penalty.
• Bandages can only be applied to your own character — not to allies.

Intoxication System

Every potion consumed increases the character's Intoxication value. As intoxication rises, potion effectiveness decreases proportionally. At the maximum cap, no potions can be consumed until the character detoxicates naturally. Each class has its own max intoxication cap and detoxication rate per second.

Spell Interruption Rules

• Any physical damage always interrupts spells and actions.
• The Poison spell effect always interrupts — even if the target is immune to poison.
• Any harmful spell of circle 2+ (except Paralyze) interrupts other harmful spell casts (except Paralyze), and also cancels Invisibility and Magic Reflection.
• Paralyze fizzles other Paralyze casts. With .fparalyze mode enabled, Paralyze can fizzle all harmful 2nd-circle+ spells.
• Lightning cannot be fizzled by 2nd-circle spells (Fireball, Harm, etc.).
• NPCs cannot be interrupted while casting.

Other Mechanics

• Combat skills, magery, and base stats (STR/DEX/INT) increase only through NPC combat. Craftsmen may also raise skills through gathering and crafting.
• Equipment durability decreases 3× faster in PvP than PvE. At 0 durability an item breaks and disappears permanently.
• Server-enforced delays on looting, equipping/unequipping, and dropping items prevent macro advantages.
• Allied players cannot be attacked (friendly fire disabled). Renegades can harm or help anyone.
• Each character may designate up to 3 friends (allies only) with permission to loot their corpse.

Magic System

UORPG uses a classic 8-circle magery system. Spells can be cast while moving, but no precast is possible — the target must be selected before the cast begins. Casting speed is constant regardless of skill or stat. Each school has its own magic discipline parameter that boosts spell power within that school (and defensive spells of the same school). Rune magic is neutralized near any water source.

World & Dungeons

Key Locations

Newbie Dungeon — Monster Table

Recommended for characters level 0–7. Entry through the Newbie Dungeon portal in each main capital city. Monsters scale from 90 EXP (trivial) to 1,220+ EXP (challenging boss-level). The primary leveling zone for new characters.

Guard Posts

There are 12 Guard Posts across the world, each controlled by a faction or guild. Captures run on a schedule — owners defend, enemies attack. All battles take place in the War Projection (full loot). Capture ownership goes to the faction/guild whose members dealt the most damage to the crystal after it was destroyed.

• A Drum of War (boss loot drop in War Projection) can trigger a guard post capture outside the normal schedule. Cannot be used during other active events.
• Inside the guard post zone, Guild War mode is active — same-faction players from different guilds can attack each other. .attacknext command works on all other guild members.
• Rewards: Fame · access to the Guard Post Chest (gold, treasure maps, Ring of Guard Post Commandant, possibly Talisman of Tracking Avoidance).
• No guard zone protection in the battle area. Escape only by foot or Recall spell — making it one of the most hardcore open-world activities.
• Use .guardposts command or the "Guard Posts" help menu item to view the current schedule and status.

Events

All event times are in server time UTC +3 (Latvia / Ukraine). The current schedule is the Summer Schedule. Daily events run every day of the week without exception.

Weekly Event Schedule

Team Tournament (Daily, 21:00)

A daily bracket tournament using provided equipment. Two teams fight; then the winning team splits and fights internally. This continues until two champions remain. Skills and stats are granted by class, not by character level — so all characters enter on equal footing within their class. If a player count is odd, the extra player goes to reserve and either advances directly to the next round or exits with a first-round consolation reward.

Frozen River (Mon & Fri, 20:00)

Capture the Flag. Players split into two teams (Red and Blue) and must steal the enemy's flag and return it to their base. A team cannot score while their own flag is stolen — they must first have their flag returned. All equipment and parameters are auto-assigned on entry; characters return to their Altair state on exit.

• Teams are always even — the last odd player is dropped.
• 30-minute duration. First team to 5 flags wins; otherwise highest score after 30 min wins.
• After death: character spawns in the preparation room, waits 30 seconds, re-enters through the special gate.
• Arena artifacts: Force Leap (obstacle bypass) · Force Pull · Force Push · Explosion Trap · Knock Down Trap (forces flag carrier to drop flag) · Spider Trap (impassable net).

Badges of Frost are exchanged for rare jewelry at Zaira's shop. Commands: .score (status/scores)  ·  .report_afk  ·  .quit (leave to Altair)

Siege of the Capital (Daily, 20:40 & after Team Tournament)

Mass PvP held in alternating projections — Peace one day, War the next. A Siege Crystal appears near the bridge of the most recently defeated alliance's capital. Defenders must keep it alive for a full hour; attackers must destroy it before time runs out.

• Renegades join attackers at the start, then switch to defenders once the crystal falls below 50% HP — Renegade victory means defending successfully after the crystal has taken >50% damage.
• Prize area: within 50 tiles of the crystal (marked with flags). In a guard zone, only the bridge counts as a prize area.
• Rewards: Apron of Force  ·  Gold  ·  Fame  ·  War Points (5 for victory, 3 for loss).

Hell Fire (Thursday, 20:00)

UORPG's most complex event — PvE and PvP combined with shifting alliances. Players fight in up to four teams against daemons and each other. Teams are remixed between rounds based on score, so former allies become enemies.

Team formation: <24 players = 2 teams; 24–31 players = 3 teams; 32+ players = 4 teams. Leaders are marked with colored halos (Red > Orange > Yellow > Green). Bosses are immune in rounds 1 and 2 but can attack players. Use .store or talk to Devil at the base to buy gear with points.

Gladiators Arena (Daily, 17:25)

The oldest automatic event on UORPG — a classic FFA (free-for-all) where any player can attack any other. Standard tournament equipment, skills, and stats are auto-provided by class. Coalitions and guilds naturally form to eliminate threats — this diplomacy is a feature of the event design, not a flaw. Colored spots appear on the arena granting partial equipment upgrades. Bears of Justice spawn in crowded areas and do not attack players being chased by two or more gladiators.

Kings Hill (Wed / Sat / Sun, after Siege of Capital War)

The most hardcore event on the server. Two guilds challenge each other (3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 depending on the day) in personal equipment with full loot. The goal is to control the Hill — a square at the arena center. Controlling it generates points continuously. The winner receives +20 guild points (loser loses 20) plus all dropped loot. Only a Recall spell can exit the arena. Replacements are allowed, but no sooner than 3 minutes after a participating guild member leaves.

Guilds issue challenges at the Zaira trader in Altair. Once accepted, the battle begins in 5 minutes.

Two Strongholds (Wed, Fri, Sun)

A multi-flag variant of capture the flag. Each team has 20 pieces of Magic Food in their stronghold. Players must mount a wolf from the nearby forest to steal food — the wolf automatically collects food near the enemy base and changes color. Defenders regenerate +50 HP/s inside inner walls.

• A team wins instantly if they build a 7-point lead, otherwise the team with more food stolen wins.
• Return an enemy-colored wolf to your own throne hall to return the enemy's food and reset the wolf to white.
• Power artifacts at the central fortification: Cloak of Damage (+100% DMG) · Cloak of Defence (+100% DEF) · Cloak of Aura Damage (+40% DMG to all allies in radius 12) · Cloak of Aura Defence (+40% DEF to all allies in radius 12).
• Consumables can be found in the fortifications and forest. Use .score to track team standings.

Crafting

Crafting is a full alternative progression path on UORPG. The Craftsman class is the only class whose members can raise crafting and gathering skills without fighting NPCs. All crafting uses the standard Ultima Online crafting menu and tools. Recipe Deeds (dungeon drops) unlock additional rare item recipes.

Metal Tiers (Blacksmithy)

Metal quality determines the armor/weapon properties and the Blacksmithy skill required. Higher tiers provide better base attributes and access to magical property rolls. Ore is gathered through Mining.

Crafting Skills

Artifacts

Artifacts are rare unique items that provide significant combat advantages. They drop from monsters, dungeon bosses, treasure chests, and seasonal events. Wearing multiple pieces of a set grants additional bonuses beyond individual item stats. Artifacts can be enchanted (+1 to +5) to further improve their properties.
