UWO Investment FAQ

The following Q & A's are from UWO's forum posted by smartin4123 and was answered by darthfiend. This will just clarify some questions regarding the investing in towns. Hope this will help some players out there who are still confuse about investments.




Will investing in a city lower the cost I pay for goods in that city (trade goods or otherwise)? Does the city's allegiance matter?

if the port is owned by your nation you pay less on the tariffs for buying and selling in that port.
in addition, the top 5 investors there get additional tax breaks and can see items before others (through development)


Will investing in a city increase the amount of trade goods I can buy in that city? Does the city's allegiance matter?

The total % of influence your nation has in a port equates to you being able to purchase more items in that port.
For example i was buying hemp in amsterdam with a friend, we had the same fabric trading skill, but because england has 0% influence in amsterdam and the dutch have 100% he was able to buy 140 hemp compared to my 70.

Is there anywhere I can see how much development a city needs to reach the next level?

Anything you read on the developments will most likely be innacurate, i believe the development numbers were changed to compensate for a lower player base (compared to the Korean and Japanese servers). 
I have yet to read anything that was truely accurate on the dev levels.

Do investments that count to a city's development level need to come from the country it's allied with?

No, there are some ports however that only certain a single nation can invest in. to check you can simply hover your mouse over a port on the map (press "M").
If the port reads as an allied country, it can be taken. if it reads as a territory it can only be invested in by the nation it belongs too, and can never be flipped.

How does an allied city switch allegiance? Do any and all investments made in that city count towards it's allegiance or only in certain cases?

When you click the investment status at any city official you can see the %'s of influence, all invests count towards that influence.
You only need to change the influence by half a percent over then leading nation to claim it.

Is allegiance even the right term to refer to which country a city is allied with? 
I prefer the word control, as in "who controls hamburg right now?" it seems to be the standard word in game when your talking about which flag a port has.

Crafting Guides: Handicraft II

North Sea Chapter


Required Skill Books
Art Handbook (Cairo, reward after 400,000D in Investment)
Book of Additional Wood Armour (all six capital cities) 15000D
Book of Alloy Smelting [optional] (Dublin, reward after 300,000 in investment)
Brewing Secrets [optional] (Cagliari, reward after 320,000D in investment; Hamburg) 10000D
Brewing Secrets Volume 2 [optional] (Havana, Montpellier, reward after 800,000 in investment)

-Required Skills
Industrial good trading (mineral trader)
Handicraft (medicine trader)
Ore trading [optional] (mineral trader)
Casting [Level 7+] [optional] (mineral trader, firearms trader)
Alcohol trading [optional] (accountant)
Luxury items trading [optional] (accountant, medicine trader)

Level 1 – 3 (Lumber + Iron >>> Cedar Boards)
Although, casting is not essential, having casting at level 7 and being able to make Bronze would make the levelling up of Handicraft 10 or more times faster. For details on how to level up Casting, see my guide on Casting. The reason is that you can turn Bronze into Bronze statue and the materials to make Bronze can all be found in Hamburg.
If you wish to master Handicraft and you are from either England or Netherlands, it is highly recommended that you start off with Casting and use Handicraft as a complement rather than head straight into Handicraft.
Purchase as many Iron from Amsterdam as you can and then sail to Oslo. In Oslo combine Lumber with Iron to make Cedar Boards from the Book of Additional Wood Armour.

Level 3 - 5 (Lumber >>> Wooden statue)
The recipe book required for making Wooden Statue is obtained from Cairo. It is best to ask a friend from a Mediterranean nation to bring the book for you. It is a very long travel from Cairo back to the North.
Wooden Statues will sell for quite a lot in Oslo, and this recipe can make you rich very quickly. The disadvantage is that Oslo has no close by ports, so you will have to buy Lumber from other players.

Level 5 – 8 (Copper Ore + Tin Ore >>> Bronze: Bronze >>> Bronze statue)
Bronze can be purchased from ports, but it is much quicker if you use level 7 casting skill and the Book of Alloy Smelting, obtained from 300,000D in investments in Dublin to produce Bronze from Copper Ore and Tin Ore, which are both available in Hamburg.
In this method you can level up your Casting as well as your Handicraft, and you don’t have to leave port.

Level 8 – 10 (Copper Ore + Tin Ore >>> Bronze: Bronze >>> Bronze Statue or Raisin >>> Wine, 2 x Wine >>> Brandy, Brandy + Raisin >>> Shelly)

Path A (Copper Ore + Tin Ore >>> Bronze: Bronze >>> Bronze Statue)
You can craft Bronze Statues until you reach level 10. You will make a lot of Ducats, but the monotony might kill you.

Path B (Raisin >>> Wine, 2 x Wine >>> Brandy, Brandy + Raisin >>> Shelly)
You can also use the method discussed earlier in the Mediterranean Chapter to make Shelly in Bordeaux/Nantes areas.

Level 10

Crafting Guides: Handicraft I

Originally written by and produced by MTC and her leaders.

Introduction

Handicraft has always been one of my favourite crafting skills, because of its versatility. It can be coupled with other major crafting skills such as Cooking and Casting and significantly shorten the time to level the other two skills. It can also be complemented with skills such as Procurement and Collection, and therefore turning trash items such as Grass, Sand and Stone into highly valuable commodity.
Handicraft can be used to make trade goods such as alcohol, as well as make Gems from ore collected in Landing areas. It is also responsible for making all furniture throughout the game, and can add valuable boosts to your ship by building Head Pieces and Wooden Armours
Because Handicraft is such a versatile, each nation will have its advantages and disadvantages. Spanish players and Portuguese players will have easy access to, Wheat, Barley, Olives, Cane, Almond, and Wine, French players will have the Bordeaux to Nantes trade route as well as access to the Brewing Secrets Volume 2 from Montpellier, and Dutch and English players will have the raw materials of Lumber and other metal ore and Industrial goods from the North Sea.

FOE in Gaming Cosplay

Cosplay (コスプレ, kosupure?), short for "costume play",is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan. Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai and fantasy movies. Role play includes portrayals of J-pop and J-rock stars, Taiwanese puppet characters, science fiction characters, characters from musical stories, classic novels, and entertainment software. Any entity from the real or virtual world that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject. Inanimate objects are given anthropomorphic forms and it is not unusual to see genders switched, with women playing male roles and vice versa.

Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered around role play. A broader use of the term cosplay applies it to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context.
(source: wikipedia)

Take note, cosplayers are not mascots!

There are lots of cosplayer nowadays but only a few them cosplay just for hobby. It doesn't matter if you don't really look like the character you are portraying as long as you are having fun with what you are doing that's what matters most. Plus add the factor that you really made your own costume. ^_~

Just be yourself!

I got some pics from the net, we may find it fun though looking at them cosplaying those anime but hey its a hobby and they really have that spirit to face the world that they too can do it.

Language Guide in UWO

Source: Great Voyage Online wiki sites

Uncharted Waters Online is an online game wherein you play in the Age of Discovery/Exploration period of Planet Earth (15th to 17th Century), where you are one of the Captain on voyage trying to open new trade routes, discover new exciting places, and the mapping of the planet. Of course, before you can have a conversation and establish a good trade with the peoples of the world, you need to learn their languages.

Learning a new language is simple, just visit any city and talk to the lords and ladies of any ‘houses’. As a clue, the names of these houses end up with the word ‘Estate’. Additionally, guild houses (Adventurer Guild, Maritime Guild, and Merchant/Trader Guild) also offer languages.

Crafting Guide: Cooking

This guide is made possible by the MTC Company.

Introduction
Cooking has always been on of my favourite crafting skills in UWO. On my old server i made hundreds of millions selling items such as Seafood Pizza and Garlic Chicken and the best thing about cooking is that there will always be a demand, regardless of where the server is at. Each guild requires a good cook or two, and if you are interested in pursuing this path here is a simple guide.

A "must" watch anime

I'm here again!:)
Got busy in some things that's why I'm not much doing some blogs. Anyways, this is what I'm doing on my past times..watching anime.
I'll be listing some of the anime here and I'm going to update this, if I found some download links to those series then you're lucky enough.

Let's begin.

The most adorable, teary, dramatic of all the anime that I have watched that are related to its genre. For being a guy…I got mixed emotion watching this one. Anyway, the series will show you the life of Tomoyo Okazaki (A high school delinquent) and the strange girl he met that changed his whole life.











Legendary heroes of the past are called upon to the modern world to participate in the Holy Grail war to fulfill one’s wish. One lad by the name of Shirou Emiya was drawn to the Holy Grail war and has summoned the most fearsome female servant known as Saber.

Happy Columbus Day!!

Just another day have passed and im still a newbie to the game im playing...T__T

I didnt know it's Columbus Day tomorrow (OCt. 12) if not from the game Im playing, i wouldnt know it. Well, if you are familiar with Uncharted Waters Online, yup, that's the game im playing right now. Still it is, they are having an event in celebration with that. I remember this day when I was still playing Audition Dance Battle (NA server), they also have some kind of event for Columbus. :)

Just thought of sharing this coz i remember when I was in high school (i think), we're studying this in our history class. :)


The title of the event is...tada~
"FIND COLUMBUS' GOLDEN TREASURE"!!!

Its a special event of UWO, where you have to follow the famous explorer's sea route successfully then you will win a prize. Hmm, the event period is already starting, from Oct. 7-31, 2010.

If you want to know how to join this event just read their event page here.

Living Discovery in UWO

A peak to everyday lives...

Discovery
Below is the outline of the discovery process.
1. Acquire a discovery quest or get a map from the library.
2. Go to the location marked on the map or quest, then use the skills listed below.
3. Use ‘Recognition’ for ancient ruins, ‘Search’ for treasure, and ‘Encological Study’ for creatures.


Discovering Ancient Ruins

1. Go to the location marked on the map or quest. Enemies on the ground will iniatiate an attack if your ship stays within range for a period of time. There is no regional information besides the secured area on land. Be prepared for the unexpected.


Fact or Fiction: The Days (And Nights) Are Getting Longer

Fossilized corals, lasers beamed at a receding moon, Chinese artifacts, and other evidence have revealed that over the ages the length of time it takes Earth to spin once on its axis has increased significantly.

Earth-like planet finally found

The chances for the future generations to colonise the stars have just got higher. Today (Sept. 30, 2010) the astronomers announce the discovery of a planet just 20 light years away from the earth that has a similar atmosphere and gravity that which has 100% chance of like and may contain water. It is the most Earth-like planet ever found – a rocky world three times the size of our own.

This image concept shows the inner four planets of the Gliese 581 system and the host star, a red dwarf star only 20 light years away from Earth. The four tiny planets in the background are the planets that have already been discovered. The closer one, blue and green planet is 581G, the most Earth-like planet ever discovered.
