Re: house drop event
If you dont already have three accounts, make two more. If you dont already use razor, install it from www.runuo.com.
Then under "agents" in razor, select "scavenger". Go to a house with lots of artis and pigments and such on the roof. A good one would be next to the path along the south wall of Luna.
Select "add target" in the scavenger, and target all the items on that roof you want to try for. Id suggest the pigs, deeds, books, and artis other than weapons. Now set your hotbag to be a bag in your backpack, and close UO. You want to close UO so that your settings get saved to the default profile.
Next, you want to login to all three accounts at the same time with three instances of the client and take each character to the IDOC and set the hotbag on each character. Now, this part is important - arrange all the clients on your monitor so you can see all the activity - if a GM tries to talk to you and you dont respond you can be considered AFK gathering and get 6 hours in jail or worse.
Its best to spread the three characters out at least three tiles apart so they arent grabbing at the same item.
Enable the scavenger, and hope you get something.
