Guide to [templates (Free 7x skills and equipment for duels/CTF)

Hi there, just wanted to make this guide for those people who are interested in dueling on Ultima Online: Forever.

If you are a beginner UO player or just want to brush up on those skills, the UO:Forever [templates system makes it possible to do so without needing a pre-built character!


In other words, the UO:Forever Template system will allow you to take on a 7x template of your choosing whenever you enter a duel or most battle events (CTF/FFA and more).

To open the menu, type [templates in game. REMEMBER TO PLURALIZE.

You will see this window:

Click Options. Here you can select 'Create template'.

This is the template creation window. You can create several of these.

Make sure you enter the amount of Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence you want. Remember that mindblast works here as it did in UO:R.

It is always a good idea to name your template accordingly, and leave a description.


Click Skills.

Highlight the seven skills you wish to use for this build. When you are finished, Click the green 'Okay' button.

When you are finished, press the little arrow in the bottom right corner (see figure 3 above)

Ta-da! The template is now stored in the templates manager!

If you wish to use this template, click Apply. This template is now selected as your battle system default. Note that you can change up your template in the middle of an event, but the template you choose then will not be applied until your next ressurection!


Remember that in the duelpits you will need your own supplies. Battle system events such as capture the flag and free for all supply you with all the equipment you'll need. However, that doesn't mean you cant bring your best items with you as well!


If you want to disable the template and just use your characters own skills, you can disable templates in the [uof menu. The option is found by clicking the UO tab. There, you can also disable template equipment, if you already have everything you need, so you don't become overweight.

Don't forget, the Second Annual Battles Tournament is just around the corner, so make a template as soon as you can and please report to the duelpits for training and practice!

Thanks for reading, and enjoy UOF pvp!!

Also, you can activate Templates as well as many other features by using the Central Gump.
By double clicking the pentagram in your paperdoll, you can access various things UOF specific.
