Do I need the Enhanced Client to play Stygian Abyss?

No, the expansion is supported by both the Classic Client (2d) and the new Enhanced Client.

When will Stygian Abyss be available to purchase?

Stygian Abyss will be available on September 8th. If you purchase the expansion between September 8th and the 29th you will receive bonus items with your purchase. The items are:

• Exclusive Gargoyle craftable pet
• Decorative Stygian Abyss mob Statues
• Multiple Gargoyle conversion tokens

Where can I purchase the Stygian Abyss Expansion? Can I purchase more than 1? And how much will it cost?

Players will be able to purchase the Expansion through the EA store. This method is recommended for individuals who wish to purchase more than 1 copy of the expansion for their account. The expansion will also be available through the UO Gamecode store.

The cost of the expansion for existing players will be $29.99. For new players it will be $39.99 and will include 1 month of game time and all of the previous expansions UO has released over the years.

Where can I find the system requirements for Ultima Online?

The system requierements for all of our clients can be found HERE.

Will the expansion be digital distribution only?

Yes. At this time the expansion and the client will be through digital distribution only.

I am curious about the gargoyle racial ability to fly as fast as a galloping horse as stated in the SA part of UO herald. Will this ability be dismountable?

Yes and there will be a "take off" delay added similar to Ethy mounts or chargers of the fallen.

Will flying be possible in felucca or just in the new areas introduced with SA?

Er, yes, yes they can fly anywhere.

Flying lets the Gargoyles move at mounted speed, and also access special areas that would normally be impassable to the earthbound creatures.

Ter Mur will contain most of those special areas, but the other facets will have a few as well.

Regardless, Gargoyle can *fly* at any time, as far as movement speed goes

Will there be new crafting additions in the Stygian Abyss expansion other than Imbuing?

Yes. We have added new craftable furniture, house addons (such as a soulforge for Imbuing), weapons, armor, and other miscellaneous items (such as a musical instrument, a container, a painting, a sculpture, two different types of mirrors, etc.)

We've also extended the crafting system functionality for Masonry to allow for creating exceptional weapons and armor as well as enhancing or repairing them. We have created runic mallet and chisels, same colors and properties as their Blacksmithing counterparts. How players can acquire these new runic tools is still to be determined.

Glassblowing will have a couple weapons that can be crafted by players. They can also be exceptionally crafted and repaired

We are also currently working on an item alteration feature for some of the crafting menus that will allow a player to take Human or Elf weapons and armor and alter them into their Gargoyle equivalents.

Gargoyles, under SA, will have a slight skill advantage in Imbuing. So I assume Humans and Elves will be able to use this new skill. Does the same apply with Mysticism and Throwing?

Gargoyles receive racial bonuses to Imbuing, Mysticism, and Throwing.

Master Artisan

A strong cultural emphasis on art and craftsmanship grants the Gargoyles an increased chance to imbue, enhance, and unravel magical items.

Deadly Aim

All Gargoyles are trained from childhood in the skill of Throwing, giving them a basic competence with missile weapons.

Mystic Insight

Gargoyles have an intuitive understanding of Mysticism, allowing them to cast basic Mysticism spells without further training.

Humans and Elves will be able to use Imbuing and Mysticism, but will not be able to use Throwing weapons.

Gargoyles will not be able to use Archery weapons.
