Description
In January 2015 Ultima Online Forever released a new expansion changing the sea content dramatically. Sailing in Ultima Online has never been more exciting, profitable or dangerous. A series of new Ships such as Galleons were added, which have immense firing power, and Cannons were added to the existing dragon ships. These Galleons are now craftable with resources that are highly sought after and obtained in deep sea through Fishing as well as old resources such as Ingots or Logs.
The movement and control systems have been changed, sailing in a boat is now "Smooth" and fluid as it coasts across the waters. Additionally, piloting a ship is now much easier as it can be 100% controlled with the mouse similar to running on a horse when on land.
Many items were also added in the expansion, such as Ship Upgrades, usable ship objects like Cannon Balls and Ship Repair Kits and much more, see the list below.
New Items and Features
Movement & Control
- Smooth Movement: Boats now move gracefully across the ocean and no longer jump from tile to tile.
- Mouse Controlled Movement: You can now take control of the ship and move it with your mouse. See Ship Commands
Items & Ships
- Cannons: Used to fire Cannon Balls at enemy vessels, monsters and players. See Ship Commands
- Cannon Balls: Fired from the Cannons and crafted with Blacksmithing using Ingots.
- Ship Upgrades: Craftable Deeds that can be applied to a ship, having your ship destroyed removes their upgrades. See Ship Upgrades
- Ship Repair Kits: Used to repair the ship when it has taken damage. Crafted with Tinkering using Ingots
- Grappling Hooks: Used to board enemy vessels from your own ship, crafted with Tailoring using Cloth and Ingots.
- Special Fishing Nets: Special Fishing Nets already existed but they now capture pets from enemy players, transferring them to your boat. See Special Fishing Net
- Galleons: Large and Powerful ships, they have more health and more damage. Each Galleon has different amounts of cannons, damage and durability. See Galleons
