Painting:

These high priced items are recovered as loot from shipwrecks. The vast majority of them are not recovered from shipwrecks, I'm not certain its possable to steal them any longer. They come in many sizes, and even the same painting of the same size can vary in the colors and shades.

Paint & brush set:
Vesper Art Guild (Its kitty corner from the bank). Look inside the gold box (Strong box) also these can be stolen from some artist npc packs.

Pen & Ink (reversed):
The one on the RIGHT is Rare, the one on the Left is the Kind anyone can buy from a scribe. You can find the rare one at the Vesper Art Guild (Kitty corner from the Bank)

Pewter Bowl:
Go to any restaurant; Buy some food that is served in the gray Bowl. It's not really a rare, however since so many people eat only Fish steaks it is to them. I Recommend using this item only as decoration for your House, and not selling it. Although I am a firm believer in getting what you can for an Item, if a deal is two one sided it will leave a foul taste in the mouth of the other party. This item happens to cost right about 3 gold. I'm not big on dealing with that kind of bad Karma.

Ben Franklin once said that if Rascals knew how much greater their profit would be if they would only be honest, they would be honest out of pure Rascality!

Pillow:
Found as loot on shipwrecks.

Pumpkin Large:
Found in the chests, crates, and barrels in provisioners shops. Only the "Large" one is rare as small pumpkins can be bought from NPC vendors.

Pool of Blood:

This rare has been one of my Holy Grails for almost two years. Basically it spawns Daily as loot in randomly spawning evil mage tower at Server up. The tower is gone without a trace in 10 minutes.

I used to think it was a weekly spawn, but have since learned it is in fact daily. Because of the many spawn location possibilities I'm sure its not found every day, and because the odds of actually keeping the pool of blood as loot is slim, and almost None if you haven't read this article no where near as many of them as other daily rares (fruit basket, rocks etc) survive long enough to enter circulation.

For people lucky enough to find the tower, grab the pool of blood and make it out alive they are lucky. Unfortunately most of them will not get much use out of their rare, as it will vanish right on schedule when the tower does.

Since I published the guide in September I cant say how many people have desperately ICQed me to see if their was a way to get their Rare back. Their isn't, once its gone its gone, however there Is a way that is somewhat reliable to keep if from disappearing in the first place.

When you find the blood pool Immediately recall to an INN and Log out with the pool in your backpack. DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR BANK BOX AND LOG, also DO NOT WAIT AROUND TO LOG seconds count.

Once logged stay logged out until the shard has a save, that can be as little as 2 hours, to be on the safe side you might just play another character until the next day.

If the shard saves while it's in your pack you have a good chance of keeping it. Its still not 100% but you have no almost no chance of keeping it if you bank it then log, or don't log out at all.

If its still there when you log back in a few hours (or a day later) its yours :) you can treat it as any normal item now, bank it, put it in your house, whatever. Just remember when you get it you only have minutes to get to an INN and Log, also make sure you Log at an Inn or your house, you have to "insta log" you cant wait for your character to time out, if you do that the odds are good that the tower will vanish (along with your pool of blood) while your character is hanging out.

The location of this spawn is anywhere there is room for a tower to spawn. Since its part of the game it does not play by the same rules that a tower placed by a player does. It can basically spawn over anything but a sever cliff, or trees, or other fixed obstacles (signs, houses etc)

When trammel first came out everyone seemed to be seeing the Tower in the woods north east of Britain, but that faded away after a while, what I believe happened was when housing was made available in Trammel all the spots near the east Britain woods that a tower could spawn were occupied by housing.

It still spawns, but in a random place, basically anywhere there is room.

Most confirmed sightings are in the open stretches of land below wrong dungeon. I would look here first at server up, but it does not always spawn here, People have reported seeing it in the lost lands (t2a) both on the grassy plains and in the frozen northern wastes.

It sometimes spawns in front of Wrong, but people report seeing it all over the map, so it appears to be random, if its not random and there are fixed locations that it spawns, then there are quite a number of fixed locations.

It comes in MANY different varieties than the pic of the one I have)

This is a good rare to go after, a friend of mine (and rares guide client) was lucky enough to find the tower TWICE! on Siege in the first week he was playing on Siege, he sold both the pools of blood and was an instant rich man.

Rolling Pins:
Found in Bakeries, all bakeries will spawn them Occlo seems to be the most popular but my personal fave is the Bakery in Vesper (No competitors, and only one Npc to try and catch me stealing it from the Strong Box)

Rope (Kracken loot)
This was originally one of the old monthly spawns on the Magencia docks, (and also possibly Jhelom, and Skara). Then for a while if someone sailed their boat under the dock with the pile of rope on it, it would unlock it, so there was a Lot of rope on the market. The code was patched after a few months and it went back to a monthly spawn, however since so much rope hit the market the price dropped considerably, and considering how lucky someone has to be to find it on the docks these days the payoff wasn't as much (most "about monthly" spawns sell for 500k to the millions). It still spawns on the docks every few months, however there is a new twist in for Rope in the Rares market.

It is currently found as occasional loot on Krackens. About 1 in 65 krackens will be carrying some. Also not many rares hunters myself included realized that there are two versions of Rope, one with the end pointing west, and the other pointing east. There seems to be a 50/50 chance of which kind it will be as loot on any Kracken carrying rope.

There are two popular ways of finding and killing Krackens. the first is to go to shame dungeon they are in the water on levels 2 and 3, but no worries they are more than happy to crawl from the water onto dry land if they get to beat someone to a bloody pulp in the process :) (They are one of the few things in UO that can move freely from water to land) Their breath weapon is comparable to a dragons, but what makes them really hard is their melee attack, Boom Boom Boom and your dead. If you are an experienced melee fighter and you are good at Running healing and not letting your hit points get low then you might consider it.

The second (and much more popular way) of finding and killing krackens is with the special fishing nets (see the description in the F-I section). You wont see as many Krakens this way as you would in the dungeons, and the nets are costly, on the plus side you don't need any fishing skill to use the nets, but the most important reason to use a net is you can stand behind the rail of your boat and not have to "melee" the thing. If you only have to deal with its breath weapon you can kill it with spells or archery and heal as it shoots you. Its MUCH safer than the dungeon method.

Savage Masks

These are found as loot on Savage male and female warriors, you can see if a particular savage has a mask, and what color it will be simply because they are wearing it. There are 29 Shades available, some shades appear to be more difficult to find than others, I'm still hunting for all 29 shades, so far dark blue seems to be the most common.

Savage Kin Paint
These are made with the Tribal Berry. It requires a cooking skill of 80.1 cooking to make, and some flour (available at any npc bakers) there is no loss of materials for "botched attempts" its either a pass /fail depending on if you have the minimum cooking skill.

Shafts: Shafts:
Can be found in -Tinker shops- most rares hunters look for these in archery shops, although its possible some might spawn in an archery shop, I have never found a set there. Tinker shops however. :)

Shells:
(There are Several Other Varieties of Sea Shells) <--Taken as a snap shot from a castle on Napa.

Small Fish:
Found in barrels on most docks, can also now be purchased from NPC fishermen. Not really rare anymore, but with all the people making "Fish tanks" their have been a lot of Questions about them

Square Tool Kit:
Look in the crates and chests in Tinker shops.

Statues!! The statue market has been upside down these last several months for multiple reasons.

The first thing that sent it spinning was "the crate bug" basically someone could put a certain kind of container in certain buildings and have a chance of statues (among other things) spawning.

It was a Bug, osi said heads up, then banned several people for using it. They did however say that it was ok to Own the items, (as a TON of them were sold before anyone figured out what was going on). The Bug statues come only in containers, and the container needs to be destroyed on the spot someone wants to place the statue.

Again its legal to own the statues, however many people were banned for using the Bug to obtain the statues (One of the reasons I don't carry Bugs in the guide).

Now the second thing, and much cooler one is that statues spawn as occasional loot on Pixies in UO3d (as soon as I get a Video card that works...lol I will have Pics for you). I understand that its about 1 in 100 pixies that will be carrying a statue as loot.

The statues that are found as loot on Pixies are moveable, as well as Legal to obtain.

The difference between Pixie Statues and Bug statues, are that the pixie ones can be picked up and moved around, as opposed to the bug ones that are stuck there.

There are at least 6 types of statues spawning as pixie loot, here are some snap shots I grabbed while on one of my evening rides:

Even tho the price of Pixie loot statues is currently in the 45-75k range, the occasional monthly spawning statue in Deceit and the one that spawned as loot on a water elemental are still in the Million+ range because when you click on them it says "magic statue" and not just "statue" which is works out very Nicely for the implementation of this rare into the market.

Tribal Berry
Found as loot on about 1 in 4 of the female savages.

Tribal Mask:
These can slant either way, a lot of people don't know that.

Tribal Mask:
Magic and non magic, slanting to the left and slanting to the right. Best Part is when you Put it on, you Look like Darth-Mall WHooHaa!!!

Wheat sheaf:


These can be found in the fields that run along the mountains west of Briton, (The fields they spawn in are in the Guard zone) Also spawn in Deluca across from the stables.

When you find some wheat that is ready to be harvested, simply double click to pick it. Then put it into your pack. Its a cinch.

Whip:

Spawns inside the barrels and chests in the ranger huts on Skara Brae mainland.

Wooden Bowl:
This is the same as the "wooden bowl large" but with a smaller food item such as Corn.

Wooden Bowl Large:
Not really rare, but still looks nice in houses (and is often sold on rares vendors) Buy a bowl of Stew in any of the restaurants, eat the stew and your left with the Bowl. Nothing to it.
