Step 1 - Skill Boosting

For a fresh character you are going to want a Mythic Character Token. This token allows you to pick 5 skills to automatically boost to 90 each on a new character and lets you max out your 225 stats.

Step 2 - Skill Transfering

Next thing you may want to consider is the Full Soulstone Token or the Soulstone Fragment Token. This token allows you to pick 5 skills to automatically boost to 90 each on a new character and lets you max out your 225 stats.

Step 3 - Higher Stats

Another key move you will want to do is maxing out your characters stats with these 2 items. A +25 stat power scroll and a Valiant of Commendation +5. After consuming these two UO items, your character's stat cap will be at 255. The last and final way to get +5 and cap to 260 is having your character age a little bit and then will be given to you after you log in with a menu.

Step 4 - Everyone Needs Gold

A major way to stay prepared in Ultima Online is by having gold on hand. When it comes to shopping or buying from player vendors you will need to have gold in stock to be able to get whatever you need.

A very important thing to obtain in Ultima Online is a mount. The ethereal mounts and charger of the fallen have two things in common, they return to your backpack after dismounting them so that they can never be lost.
