Capt's Logbook: Darkmeiser's New Adventures

Heyya! all! It's me darkmeiser and im here again to tell my stories of adventures in uncharted waters online! :)

Well, first of all it's not easy to write a Hall of Text. And i must clearly explain what adventures I experienced. As much as possible i will try to elaborate it clearly and i will also include some screen shots..

Chapter I

*New hope, new adventures!*

December 11,2010

There was a time in my journey in life came to a point where I don't know what to do next. I was in Oslo at that time and suddenly all the things have stopped. All the courage and promise to a great adventures have vanished.

 

UWO Game crash solution

Since obt of the game until now I never had a problem with the game, except the error like "game failed to initialize" but all i have to do is to restart my computer or re-installing the whole file of the game and it will run smoothly again. Sometimes that error is cause by some new programs that i've installed in my pc.

There are some players who have already quit the game because they can't fix the problem they experience with the game. Some of them haven't experience the game in obt but after a server maintenance their pc will freeze and crash.

I'm not that good on technical problems with UWO but I hope this solution will help some of you there who had this kind of problem too. Thanks to this dude who posted what he did when his pc freeze while playing Uncharted Waters Online.

He pointed 2 things that has something to do with the game crash. Windows 7 and AVG.

It seems that GameGuard, the game’s anti-hack and cheat protection program, has some problems running with AVG. AVG, specially AVG 2011, sees it as a threat and blocks it from running and if GameGuard can’t run then the entire game won’t run either.

If you have this anti-virus installed in your computer it would be best to 1)uninstalled it, 2)change your AV, 3)disable your AVG and 4)add UWO to your AVG's exception list.

As for Windows 7, it seems that the game, Uncharted Waters Online, is not 100% compatible with the operating system. Running it on Windows 7 or even Windows Vista will cause instability which can lead to freezing or crashes.

This is what he did for the Win7, run the game in Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode.


Though not all of the problem experience by players can solve this solution, it still depends on the machine you are using and the programs installed on it. I'll try to update this article for some error-solution i can find in the official forums of the game. So for now, enjoy your adventures!

Capt's Logbook: Aides for Captains

Captain Anjel's Log                                - by David "AnjelusX" Slauenwhite

February 15th, 1495

As you progress through world, encountering the dangers at sea, making great discoveries, or becoming a trading power house, it isn’t a feat you should manage alone. Certainly you can travel with a Company or a Fleet, but also as you attain certain Milestones, you can hire Aides to assist you in your adventures. They can back you up in various roles, with their support skills, or just to keep you company as you travel. They can play a beneficial role in your travels as they develop their support skills you can focus your attention on building your own skills.

Capt's Logbook: Communicating

Captain Anjel's Log                                - by David "AnjelusX" Slauenwhite

February 10th, 1495

 

The oceans of the world are vast, but even when there is no one on the horizon, we do not sail alone. There is a plethora of ways to communicate with other voyagers as we make our ways through the adventures, trials, and discoveries within the world. Look over them, there are many to be used and perhaps a few that would be good to have additionally. Taking a closer look is the theme of this entry, for even though we might spend our days at sea alone moving towards our own goals and achieving our own fame.

The Elementary Voyager Training School was about basic game configuration.

1. Where are the Intermediate Voyager Training School

There is a school each situated in “Ceuta”, “Groningen”, and “Siracusa”. You can choose to attend school in whichever city you like.

 “Ceuta” is located West of Europe.

Update: Builders of Ship

Another new update of Anjel's Captain Logbook, Builders of Ship. A must read for anyone out there who's interested in ship building.

First and foremost, preparing to enter the craft of Shipbuilding takes some work on your part. You need to build up some knowledge of ship repair before you can hope to start building even the simplest of vessels. You can achieve this in a variety of ways of course. For some they charge into battle, with cannons blazing and repair any damage done by scurvy pirates bent on sinking you. For others, they sail the seas in search of storms to ride their way through, repairing as they go. This can be effective in a degree however finding storms aren’t exactly the most pleasurable experience. For others, like myself, I chose to do the more humorous route and ram my ship into land repeatedly. Getting my crew and I drunk on rum at the local tavern made this a much more enjoyable experience and my crew found the whole thing rather funny, when they weren’t scared to death thinking we’d sink!

You can read the whole story in Here.

Update: Day in the life of Merchant

Another captain logbook entry of Anjelus. Kindly read the "Day in the life of Merchant."
Here's a brief introduction to it..



Captain Anjel's Log                                - by David "AnjelusX" Slauenwhite

January 4, 1495

Happy New Year friends and companions, times change and while there is a time when you have to fight, and there are times when you can track through the wilds; there are also the need for money to fund your adventures and battles. For myself, I’ve found that if I want to really succeed on the seas I must learn art that is trade. There are many ways for an enterprising merchant to make real money plying the waters of the world. Buying and selling goods from port to port, keeping a keen eye on the markets to find the best deals and to know what’s selling high where and what isn’t worth purchasing until the market changes.

more of that here.

Update: Day in the life of Maritime

I have added another adventure diary from Anjel's Capt. Logbook on my weebly site. Here's some part of that entry.

December 26, 1494

While in my mind, adventuring is my main calling, like any loyal and passionate citizen of my nation, I do my part by partaking in the Maritime activities of my country. Pirates are everywhere on the open seas, along coastal waters and vibrant throughout the world. Traveling even for an experienced captain can be perilous for one never knows when they might strike and being prepared to protect yourself and your cargo is a requirement for any salty dog wishing to ply the oceans of the world.


The first and foremost skill I found to be useful to me was learning the art of Gunnery. Knowing and using one’s cannons in a capable and effective manner can be the meaning between survival and getting sunk and pillaged. I learned during my time at the Academy the various methods and types of shot available to me which lead to my choices of armaments. I enjoy using my distance cannons to manoeuvre around fighting off and sinking pirates, I also am well pleased using incendiary shot to light up my enemies and create chaos for them. Planning and executing my ships turns in combat allows me to place critical shots on my enemy’s bow and stern for even more effective damage, which is always pleasant.

You can read the rest here on my weebly site and always visit it coz i'll be more active on that site than in here. ^_~.

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.

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.

5th Lesson: Concerning Ship Parts (UWO)

Ship parts are your ship's version of equipment. Just as different equipment is worn on different parts of the body, different areas of the ship that can be outfitted with certain parts. There are six types of ship parts: studding sails, cannons, extra armour, special equipment, figureheads, and crests. In this shipyard, you can buy studding sails, cannons, extra armouring, and special equipment. But the experts here will be able to explain it better than I. Would you mind?

3rd Tutorial: Vigour, Fatigue and Food

Vigour, Fatigue and Food

-this course will teach you about Vigour and the food that is used to recover it. A course where  you get to enjoy some delicious food-- doesn't sound too bad does it? Talk to Instructor Alan outside when you're ready.

UWO main event quest - Chapter 2

Several days later, Darkmeiser met up with Frederik again, who was on his way to Hamburg  in order to pick up an item that he was requested to get. Since his ship was not large enough to carry the item, so he asked for assistance. Frederik's ship was built for speed and as such, had a small hold.

The two of them arrived in Hamburg and went in search of the black market merchant Ter Borch that was in charge of making the deal.
