Repair Service Contracts

One of the cornerstones of Ultima Online is the activity of players sharing items with other players in order to obtain repairs for their armor and weapons. A supplement to these transactions will now exist in the form of “repair service contracts.”

Listed below are some additional details:

• These contracts will appear in the form of a deed
  • Repair Service Contracts are "blessed," in that they cannot be stolen (if kept in the top level of one's backpack), and cannot be looted.
  • The contracts will be labeled as “a repair service contract from a [level] blacksmith,” where [level] is the skill level title of the smith which has created the contract (i.e. apprentice, journeyman, expert, adept, master, or grandmaster, as appropriate).
• Characters with the blacksmith skill will be able to create the repair service contracts by performing the following steps:
  • Use a smithing tool as normal.
  • Choose the “Repair” option from the menu that appears.
  • Target a blank scroll. The scroll must be within the blacksmith’s backpack.
  • The repair service contract will appear in the creating character’s backpack.
• Blacksmiths will not gain skill by creating these contracts.
• These items cannot be sold on player vendors.
• Characters must be standing in an NPC blacksmith or armorer shop in order to use a repair service contract, as follows:
  • Double-click the repair service contract.
  • Target the item-to-be-repaired.
  • The used repair service contract will disappear after use.

Note that the current blacksmithing repair methods will not be removed. Blacksmiths will still be able to gain skill by repairing items directly.
