Tinkering in Ultima Online
Overview: Tinkering in Ultima Online is a foundational skill crucial for crafting a diverse range of tools and items. Tinkers excel in creating tools such as scribe’s pens, miner’s shovels, and even decorative items like windchimes and home lighting fixtures. They are also renowned for crafting combat weapons such as nunchaku and cleavers, along with intricate jewelry that can possess magical properties.
Tools and Kits: Tinkers rely on specialized tool kits, available in two main types: loose tools sold by vendors and neatly organized tool bags crafted by experienced tinkers. While decorative square tinker’s toolkits exist, they are not functional for crafting. A recent update introduced a repair mode option for these kits, allowing tinkers to quickly mend items without navigating the full crafting interface.
