UOAlive Day 101: Seeker of Humility

 

One of the things I still struggle to keep up with is the difference between ServUO based gardening and OSI-based Gardening. In my personal opinion, OSI gardening is a lot more forgiving than ServUO, and it can be really hard to commit to old school plant-bowl-and-potions based growing on ServUO in any meaningful way long term when the plant growing timers are very much dependent on your active input into the system. If I plant something at 6 AM one morning, I need to check that plant and tend to it at exactly 6 AM every single day until it reaches the desired age if I don't want to lose any efficiency in time. On OSI, I just have to check at some point during the day and tend to the plant. The only daily check the server does for age and tending coincides with the daily restarts.

In any case, part of why I attempt to grow at least two seed-bearing parents to full maturity while building up my seed collection is to cover loss of desired output through disease, mess-ups, and black/white seed mutations. Fortunately I think I'm still able to get everything I need even with some of these hiccups.

I decided to turn in a few scribe quests for a personal project and came across this lovely accounting anomaly. Thank goodness this is being very precise! :)

Since I grew bored of waiting to receive red books, I took some time to run some Humility Hunts. I've found that my bard can handle hiryus quite well. Usually I start a humility hunt and hunt for an hour or two until I've hit 'Lady' fame status, then turn around and Sacrifice that fame to a mob to gain Humility. It's not something I do every day, but eventually I hope to be able to hunt more nasty mobs for higher fame gains without worrying about gaining in Humility.

Today's hiryu hunts have brought me one step closer to Knight of Humility! Woo! I don't quite remember if there's anything good one gets from having high Humility, but it's something fun to do and I've enjoyed having little silly goals every day I play.
