Starting out as an adventurer in "Uncharted Waters Online"

 I started playing UWO as an adventurer and also one of the main reasons I choose to play the game seeking adventure and finding  treasures, It may seem all fun and exciting but how is it done?

heres and example on how adventuring starts out in UWO and an alternate way to have 2 quests at a time asides from guild quests.

 

School guard is the ancestor of "Forest Gump"

Step.1

 

  Some players are left confused after graduating from the long tutorial. Adventurers need to know where to start or get their first push, one way Is to get guild quests, but I want to show you another way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Me and the Scholar

Step.2

 

  Visit the town Archives! and talk to the scholar to brows some books.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step.3

 

Browsing books not only increases your skills but you can unlock maps. Depending on the skill you increase biology will give you a map of animals and habitats, Art where to find lost sculptures, and paintings, and geography may give you a map to locate sunken ships and man made wounder.  

 

 

 

The location of where to travel is written on the map.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step.4

 

Once you reach the location on the map (in this case outskirts of Athens West) you can use the map in the use item screen. Don't worry tho it wont disappear instead it will tell you which direction to go to check the image out 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone is beaming in?!?

once you are close to your destination and you use the map you will notice a glow approac that glow then proceed to step.5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step.5

 

       Use the skill required! In this case since I got this reading a biology book I used the biology skill on the glow.

 

  You will be given Items, Money and the card needed to give a report. 

 

This is also one way to gain accessories which can help give you bonus skill points!

 

And thats It! now you know how to increase your skills by reading and adventuring!

 

 

 

The same will apply to guild quests but you will need to have the observe skill since there is no map

The same will apply to guild quests but you will need to have the observe skill since there is no map

The Venice Chicken Secret...

 The nation with the earliest money advantage Venice if you decide to start in this nation money will be no problem to you all you have to do is pluck chicken to become a millionaire. 

The stuff needed to start your chickeny rampage:

1. Livestock Trading Rank 2

2. Fabric Secrets - Hardwares (can be bought in Item Shop -Amsterdam, Lisbon, London, Marseille, Seville, Venice)

3. Sewing Rank 2

4. Food for Vigor

Trade Route: (Eastern Europe - Venice starters can get an advantage)

Zadar to Ancona (Vice-Versa)

Goods To Buy:

 

Chicken (Zadar & Ancona) 

 

 

Goat (Zadar)

Things to do:

Pluck the chicken and Process the goat to obtain Feather and Mo Hair respectively.

Sell the Feathers/Mo Hairs in Ancona. Feathers will give you additional trade experience and fame while Mo hairs got a high selling value. Continue doing this until you are satisfied with your Trade level/Fame or Ducats earned.

PS: Try to pluck chickens as many as you can to produce many feathers before selling it to obtain more exp and fame.

Note: To save up in using foods for vigor try to visit the Taverns and buy some food and drinks. Also, give some drinks to your sailors to increase their loyalty.

and that's it once your sick of chickens you can explore the word of UWO in your nice and new shiny ship 

Captain Aikas Critical guide to Uncharted Waters Online!

In UWO ship battles have critical damage but unlike land battles a ships critical hit is not by % but by skills of the player.


By hitting ether the bow (Front Tip) Or the Stern (Rear) you are sure to have a critical hit. sounds easy but it sure ain't the enemy ships A.I gets better the more you progress.

 

 

Ship battles are not just all about having better ships and cannons but it also  involves skills as well a level 30 player can beat a level 50 just by having better skills

 

 

Note: Skills in UWO level up by how much you use them and not by distributing points as you level-up

A Noob Adventurers Handbook To XP In Uncharted Waters Online

Adventure is the hardest class to lvl in UWO both in any stage of the game and is usually the last to be maximized by expert players because it is very time consuming and there is no way to speed the process if you are playing alone.



                  

This can be done solo but has better results in a group as you get nearly twice the fame if you all turn in the quests at once.

Step One - Getting to Athens:
Prerequisites:

Quests/Jobs:

All three Intermediate schools complete so that you have the three Adventure job permits
500 adventure fame, which you should get from the schools.

Helms person for skills.

Skills:

Recognition

Geography

Spanish

Portuguese

Once you have the prerequisites, you will need to take a trip to Seville so you can begin what many of us call the 588-91. This refers to the quest rewards that the quests give, 58,800 ducats and 9,100 ducats respectively. You will need to go to the Adventure’s guild and speak to the Mediator to begin one of these quests.

588 - The Middle of the Atlantic
This quest gives a reward of 58,800 ducats. All it requires is sailing west from Seville until you find an island chain that consists of three small islands known as the Azores. Once you are amongst them, you use recognition to ‘discover’ the islands. You then return to Seville and turn the quest in, netting a few hundred exp and fame as well as 58,800 Ducats.

91 - The Tip of the Iberian Peninsula

Because you cannot repeat a quest, you need a filler quest after you do 588. This quest is normally a quest to Faro for 9,100 ducats known as the Tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It is quick and will allow you to start 588 again quickly. However, if this quest is not available any quick quest to Malaga or Lisbon also works to speed up the process. You will need to do this until you reach 2,000 adventure fame.

Step Two - Raising Archeology

Prerequisites:

Quests/Jobs:

Excavator

Skills:

Archeology

Unlock

For step three, level 4 Archeology is required. The quickest way to do this is to head to Genoa. In Genoa there is a level 1 geography quest that takes you to Naples to speak to the scholar and then find an item in the Naples melee combat zone. Once that is done, you can turn the quest in at the Tavern and pick up an Archeology quest that sends you back to Genoa to speak to the Scholar there. This quest sends you back to Naples to dig another item. You will need to repeat this process till you have level 4 Archeology.

To maximize this process, you should be in a group. Pick a person to go first to discover the item. Everyone else stands back far enough that they cannot discover the item yet. This person with get between 20-40 proficiency. You then allow a second person to come dig while the original person stays in place. The second person and the first person obtain 20-40 proficiency, allowing the first to now collect 40-80 proficiency in one trip. You do this until everyone has discovered, then next time allow someone else in the group to go first. Take turns, work together.

An alternate way to do this step is to reach level 2 Archeology, then repeat the Archeology school quest to Tunis repeatedly in a group until you reach level four. This, however, requires you almost be finished with Advanced Adventure school.





Step 3 - Arriving in Athens:

Prerequisites:

Quests/Jobs:

2,000 Fame

Skills:

Arabic - Can learn in Genoa Merchant GM

Greek - Can learn in Naples Merchant GM

Treasure Appraisal - Can learn in Lisbon Adventure GM

Unlock - Should have learned when switching to Excavator

This is the final step in fame farming for beginners. With this quest line, in a group, you can easily obtain 10,000-15,000 fame in just a few days of constant, determined farming. Possibly even 500-1000 an hour if you do it right.

You will need to go to Athens. In Athens you will need to pick up the quest the Sultans. This quest will send you to Beirut where you must speak to the Scholar. The Scholar will send you into the Alexandria wilds to discover something. Turn this quest in at the Alexandria Tavern and pick up Mourning a Greek Tragedy quest which takes you back to Athens to speak to the Scholar and discover something in the Athens wilds. You can run these two quests repeatedly and make possibly 100,000 ducats every 30-60 minutes while gaining massive fame and experience.

Edit: Sultans requires Appraisal level 4, Unlock level 2. If you do not want to level that you can alternately get Town Dedicated to Love from Athens to Famagusta.

Things to note:

Any nation can do this.

Quests that send you to a scholar normally require you to read a book.

This method may not be for everyone as they may get bored repeating the quest lines

The 3 Classes Of Uncharted Waters Online

People sometimes make a small mistake of looking at the game classes and think there's only a few available and that it does not have much to offer. "Uncharted Waters Online" is different at first it may seem that you are only able to choose 3 different types at the beginning of the game the Adventurer , Maritime, and the Trader but Uncharted Waters Online offers something different more than 20 jobs are available for the 3 classes each caters to its own need in this highly complex unique MMORPG from KOEI




To start off I would first like to introduce the "Adventurer" and personally my class of choice
why I like the adventurer class well it got a real catchy name for starters who dislikes "Adventure" or "Adventuring" another thing is this class focuses on looking for hidden treasure and lost ruins, yup its one of my fantasies from my Goonies childhood.



The adventurer class has the most jobs in the game a total of 24 listed you can't choose immediately from the 24 but as you level-up you choose along the way




"Note: even if you choose a single class in this game all 3 classes will still be included you will only be restricted from jobs and guild quests"



Even though you choose any job you may learn all the skills in the game the only difference is the Jobs profession will excel in his skill specified for the characters job Ex. Fishermen may level up the fishing skill faster it comes with the job change, and may use less stamina to use the fishing skill




The adventurer class: may focus more on combat and exploring meaning there isn't much trading skills available for this class you will have ship handling skills that will allow you to sail or steer your ship faster, and better, and also apraisal skills that will allow you to identify biology or certain artifacts and land discoveries now depending on what job you choose a few combat skills may be available. Like the thief who likes to wander around ruins or rob people sword play skills are available for this job you may collect reagent and sell them to other ports like a trader but you will only get basic pricing since the adventurer has no haggling skills.




The maritime job or commonly known as battle type: Almost the same as the adventurer but the job classes focuse more on combat abilities this class has a few skills of the adventurer but restricted only to sailing the battle type has no means to appraise treasures or land areas and ruins, but may excel in sword play a good companion for the adventurers who need escorts in land areas. there is also a shipwright job-class if you want to make your trade in selling ships.



And the final class is the Trade Type: A mix of adventurer but with no combat capabilities the trade class can appraise, and gather treasures and reagents and use them to craft items like potions, furniture and ship parts the trader has lots of trading skills that improve prices when selling goods to other ports. Some of the traders Job classes may focus on certain goods like the chandler who excels in selling weapons

Big Download + Long wait = Worth it !

"The Client for Uncharted Waters Global has finally been released it was just a few minutes delayed due to some technical difficulty so they say."

Its A whopping 3.20Gb installer and would probably eat about 10Gb of HDD space so if your planning on playing the game on the 25th better download it in advance.


Its not the biggest file I Have downloaded but probably the largest free to play MMORPG out and it seems the Japan servers have already released 2-3 expansions so this is small compared to what they got

I cant wait !!! already got me a crew to play on the first day of launching tho I haven't thought of a character name yet that usually takes me some time to think since its something permanent ill post it so if your gonna play, you can be part of my crew and call me captain hardy har har!!!



You can download the game client here
