Right its time for you lot to tell me what monster loot is stupidly low, or to high and I will change it, for example krakens and the like.

That Ghost Dragon (if that is what it is(in wind)) hasnt much loot.
It only has 500 gp & 1 loth gem.
(Rincewind agrees too)

You are not a god, so do not act as one.
Balron loot needs a little tweaking upwards, same with daemon knights.

Right I have re-done ALL the monster loot templates for every monster bar the custom dungeons ones such as Moria and Lorien.
In summary all lower tier monsters have had the chance of magic weapons apearing as loot removed or reduced with there gold being tailored to be more fitting to there difficulty. This includes Orcs, Zombies, Wraiths, Harpies, Corpsers etc.
Medium Tier monsters have had there gold increased or decreased acording to there difficulty with more treasure maps of lvl 1, 2 and 3 being spawned. Magic weapons have been decreased mainly depending on monster strength so that ruin or might will apear rather than force or power. This group covers Water elementals, Drakes, Liches, Air Elementals, Fire Elementals, Hell Cats, Hell Hounds, Gargoyles etc.
Hier Tier monsters have had gold loot increased dramaticaly acording to there difficulty with treausre maps now able to be found on almost all of them from lvl 3 to 4. Monsters previously not worth killing due to such bad loot and there difficulty are now worth hunting. The possibilty of Magic weapons appearing in this group is either unchaged or easier. This group includes Dragons, Lich Lords, Ogre Lords, Blood Elementals, Poisoin Elementals, Elder Gazers, Dread Lords, Dread Lord Captins, Krakens etc.
Top tier monsters are the Balron, Wyrm and Crystal Dragon. These 3 are the only monsters with the possibilty of lvl 5 treasure maps and all carry loth gems. They all have high gold loot with the Wyrm being the highest and close to 2,000 gold. The wyrm and Balron are the only monsters with a possibilty to spawn Vanquish weapons, they also have a greater posibilty of Power weapons and the Wyrm will always spawn a Might weapon.
Finaly it will be worth going out in groups to hunt the top 3 monsters rather than bashing a load of single monsters repeatedly.
Have Fun :)

One thing to remember is that all the old monsters with old loot are still in the world, once you kill them they shall respawn with the new loot templates.

Phoniex didn't have any loot before, now they have gold apropriate to there hardness.
Dread Lords can be found lvl 4 hyloth, lvl 4 shame and other places.
Crystal dragons are rare beasts but I think one cna be found in destard if you look.
OH dread lords are those humans in armour are they...?? Like lord venom.
I mainly Hunt hyloth i find that the gold drops are fine ... but as for weapon drops i think there 2 low ive killed about 200 damions in total and ive had 2 magic drops and 1 t-map .I think hyloth needs to have more loot added to the monsters ...

I thank you for tweaking all the monster loot templates. That took a lot of dedicated time. However, I noticed the other day that when I was hunting in Lorien that our little green friends did not give any experience or fame/karma. They can be little tricky buggers, shouldn't they give out something in those categories??
PS did you know that bugers (with another 'g' in the spelling) is on the filter List???? LOL. Well they are tricky little bugers.
Is there any possible way to have a list of all possible monsters and their teir levels on the site?? This would mostly benefit those who want to know what they have been killing. If there is a way, I would be right thankful......
Krackens needs better loot, they are hard to kill for only giving 300gp :F.
*looks at the date of this topic*
how long do you spend looking for these things scythe? :P
Shhhh :P. I just look for interesting topics to add to my knowledge and some stuff is interesting. When I get bored :P.
I too appreciate the time spent in updating the loot on monsters.:)
****....
I got this notice of a reply being posted on a forum I haven't visited for over 2,5 years.
Awsome.
I don't even play UO anymore..
scythe's boredom may have increased the shards 'active' player count by 1 :) heh

What about White Wyrm Leather? Any possible way it could be created?

One is in wind tunnels :P
Just been and checked on him. Killed him twice always he had like 700gp, a loth gem and almoust nothing else (a pot, etc.). Acording to oxi he should give money above 1k... then WTF?? :/:S
*wonders if polak actually noticed that this topic started over 2 years ago and so any info given on the monster loot isnt going to be accurate still*

does it means that I'll find 1gp killing an orc? :P
My post was freakin serious, krakens are hard to kill and give 300 gp. Oh well I might as well give up.
