Taxidermy Kit
Taxidermy Kits allow players to use corpses of certain creatures to create trophy House Addon deeds. Only Carpenters with at least 90.1 skill can use or buy the kit, as those without master or grandmaster status in the skill cannot figure out it's workings.
They are found on NPC Tanners, usually within "leather and hide" shops. They average around 90,000 gold to purchase (assuming you're buying in Felucca, where prices tend to be far cheaper).
The player will need the following items to create a trophy:
- Taxidermy Kit
- 10 Boards
- Corpse of one of the following:
- Orc
- Gorilla
- Troll
- Brown Bear
- Polar Bear
- Great Hart
- Big Fish (Note that if stacked with other fish they will not be usable by the taxidermy kit.)
Ultima Online: High Seas booster pack introduced new rare Fish types that can be turned into a trophy:
If your character has the appropriate carpentry skill and materials, double-clicking a taxidermy kit will give you a targeting cursor. This cursor must be targeted on the corpse of the creature intended to be the trophy. You must have looting rights to the corpse in order to process it. The taxidermy kit will disappear upon successful usage, and a deed for the resulting trophy will be placed within your pack.
Note that unlike most other craftables, assuming you have the required skill and components, there is no chance of failure. Rules for placing the item in a House are the same as for any other Addon.
One other trophy, the Dragon Head, was introduced as part of the Spring Cleaning 2008 event and is still available as part of the Clean Up Britannia 2011 event. Taxidermy Kits cannot be used on Dragons to produce trophy deeds.
