Beginners Guide!

All characters created are starting in Britannia. This is the main town with most of the necessary resources to start playing. This town, like majority of towns, are protected by guards. You cannot die from other players here. Outside of town you can find the easiest monsters and animals to fight. When starting the game for the first time, your character has a Young player status meaning when you die you are teleported back to the city with all your belongings. Don't forget to heal before fighting again. The Young player status will only last for 40 in-game hours or once reached 600 skill points. Be cautious as once you no longer have this status, when you die you no longer are teleported to the city and all belongings remain on your body for others to loot. You can also insure items so that if you die you won't lose the insured items.

An example for screen setup is on the right. For guides on skill building and determining the strength of the monsters please see UO Guide or UO Stratics
