Origin's The Second Age update to its Ultima Online massively multiplayer role-playing game world provides new territory to explore and new monsters to battle. In order to make sense of the game's new surroundings--and the many changes in Ultima Online (UO) since its inception--Prima's official guide to the game provides information on everything from basic statistics and skills to dungeon diagrams for the die-hard adventure seeker. The book provides a thorough breakdown of each of the key aspects of the game, including skills, weapons, and magic spells. Other topics of interest, such as player-owned vendors and player-run guilds, are also covered. A complete bestiary covers all of the original UO beasties, as well as the mysterious creatures to be found in the new lands. You'll learn all about Ophidians, Terathans, Titans, and Ostards, among others. The book also includes a graph explaining the game's complex reputation system, as well as a brief listing of some of the many "Easter eggs" you might find in Ultima Online. A full-color map of Britannia and the new lands of The Second Age comes with the book. On it, you'll even find thumbnail guides to each of the many dungeons in the game. More complete maps of these underground caverns can be found at the back of the book. Lastly, the guide offers a complete listing of the gateways between the original lands of Britannia and the new lands of The Second Age. Simply put, this book is as valuable a resource to current UO players as the first UO guide was at the game's inception. Don't wander the new lands without it! --Michael Ryan

Summary: This book is a great help to any UO player. 1999-08-29
Comment: This book will help you on your way threw the roll-playing adventure that the makers of Ultima On-Line have created. Without this book there is a very big chance that you will get lost in the very large world of UO.

Summary: Some Useful Information, But missing in many areas. 1999-07-13
Comment: Paying an extra $15-$20 for a Guide, you would think that you would find answers to your questions. Too much editorial, not enough helpful hints. What do the switches in Covetous level 1 do? How many skill points in smithing do I need before I can smelt agapite ore? These are the questions that all of us face, but that nobody, most notably this book, have answered.
