UOAlive Day 8: Even More Hiryus and a Dirt Plot

 

In a shocking turn of events, I was found killing more hiryus in my free time today.

We killed Navrey some more today. Snow was able to get a Tangle, which is nice.

I finally managed to get to 1 million gold, which is the amount required for the castle plot. If you pick a prebuilt castle it'll cost more, but I wanted to design my own castle because I enjoy the process.

I ended up picking a nice, secluded area south of Trinsic. At this point, I hopped into customization mode to work out my design and see how much more gold I would need to commit my design.

I should've pre-downloaded UOSteam. Customizing on ClassicUO is a slow pain in the butt, and the UI and response times are completely messed up on CUO. CUO also keeps the semi-transparent green floor visible even when you've placed tiles down, making it hard to see whether you've fully covered something. For some reason I stuck to it, however.

After about two hours, this is what I ended up with and I came up with a cost of around 1.3 million gold.
