| Ok well it has been awhile since this page
has been updated, but reall crafting has not been the same as it once was.
To all those that have sent in Join and Update forms and have not gotten
a response from me or Warnhack or a Shardmaster, the reason behind this
is that there basically are no Shardmasters around anymore except for a
few Shards. Until people step forward to be a Shardmaster all New
membership is suspended unless there is a Shardmaster on your Shard.
I do beleive that the only active Shards right now is Catskills, Lake
Superior, Atlantic, and Europa. Also my e-mail address
has changed to jdanielsii@rogers.com

| Well after not really doing much lately and
the state of crafting these days, as you can see by some complaints over
at The Crafters Forum, I finally got around to updateing the VDP Prices.
Thanks to everyone that sent in updates to me and keep sending them if
you get different numbers then what is listed. To get to the VDP
Price List just click the link above entitled Hints/Tips/Prices and you
will see a link for the VDP Prices.

| Well I know it has been awhile since the
main news was last updated, but there really hasn't been much to report,
I am still waiting for the last screenshot of a uniform idea to be e-mailed
to me (he knows who he is, hurry up and e-mial it to me would ya :-P)
OK, now for the news. Warnhack forwarded this e-mail to me that he received from someone at he Markee Dragon site, I went and had a look and it is very exciting news, read for yourself. Greetings friends, I have some very interesting news
for everyone today. I have received an email from a guy that wishes to
keep his name silent for personal reason, and fear of being banned. He
has written to us several times to give as much information possible that
he can. I will refer to him as Mr. X, per his request.

| I have updated the Carpentry Price List to
include the Trophies that we will be able to make once the Taxidermy Kits
get added to the game. They Are currently "In Testing For Next Update"
on the UO web page. Please let me know your thoughts on these prices.
To get to the Price List simple click the link at the top of this page
titled Hints/Tips/Prices then find the Carpentry Section.
I would also like to thank everyone that has sent in a Guild Uniform idea, I will be getting all the pics together soon , and I will get the poll up for all us to vote on our favorite. Jack Daniels II (9:01pm est) |

I received another suggestion for a guild
uniform today. Below you will see what suggestions we have so far,
and remember you have anything that you like to wear and maybe see as BOW's
new Guild Uniform please send it in to me so we can get a vote on the most
popular Uniform.

|
|
| I added a couple of things today. First off I finally
got around to adding the water trough to the Carpentry Price List, and
second I received new info on some of the VDP Pricing, so I updated that.
You can view both these by clicking the link above titled "Hints/Tips/Prices".

| I have changed the message board around once again.
It is now called The Crafters Forum and the link is still at the top on
the page. You can now ask questions and discuss any of the Crafting
skills within Ultima Online.
Also if you have any ideas for a Guild Uniform please send them into to me, so far we only have 2 to choose from I would like to get more. Right now you can view the 2 Uniform ideas below. Jack Daniels II (5:30pm est) |

I have a received a couple of screen shots of possible
Guild Uniforms. The 1st one is armor dyed Ranger Green with the clothing
dyed with a Special Dye Tub brown. The 2nd one is armor dyed Daemon
Red with the clothing dyed with a Special Dye Tub valorite. If you
have any other Uniform ideas please feel free to e-mail me a screen shot
with a brief description of the colors you used, and then I will get together
a poll, so we can all vote on a Uniform for the Guild. You can e-mail
me them at jdanielsii@home.com

| I have added a new section to the Hints/Tips/Prices area,
it is called VDP pricing, go on over and check it out. Also I am
in the process of putting together my Tailoring info on what to make when
and how much cloth and leather was use to get to GM status, look for this
in the coming days.

| Here is the latest info on the Taxidermy Kits:
Taxidermy Kits will allow players to use corpses of certain creatures to create trophy deeds, which can be used in houses to generate a wall mounted trophy. Taxidermy Kits will be found on NPC Tanners, usually found within "leather and hide" shops in towns. Only master and above carpenters can use the kit itself, as those without master or grandmaster status in carpentry will be unable to figure out the kit's workings. A master carpenter is defined by UO as a player with 90.1 or above base carpentry skill (base skill, visible by clicking "show real" in the skill window). The player will need the following items to create a trophy: Taxidermy Kit 10 boards corpse of either: Orc Gorilla Troll Brown Bear Polar Bear Great Hart Big Fish (note that "big fish" that have been stacked with other fish will not be useable by the taxidermy kit) When the player with enough carpentry skill and materials
listed above uses the taxidermy kit, they will get a targeting cursor.
This cursor is targeted on the corpse of the creature (or big fish) intended
to be the trophy. Thus, the player will need to be at the corpse of one
of these creatures to successfully use the taxidermy kit. The taxidermy
kit will disappear upon successful use and a deed for a trophy will be
placed in the player's pack.

| I got the following off of Stratics Professions Forum.
It was posted by Pfredd Mudd a Moderator of the Carpentry Forum there,
he is also known as Hobart a BOW Shardmaster on Chesepeake.
UO:3D Carpentry Interface: The Alpha UO:3D client does have a new Carpentry & Tailoring interface, much like Tinkering and Smiting do now. The only difference is that the Carpentry interface doesn't have a "Make Last" button, yet. I imagine this will get fixed before release....   Jack Daniels II (4:15pm est) |

| Here we are another year is about to close the door on
us again. Just to reflect it has been a good and bad year for BOW.
The positives are the support stratics has given us, and the many dedicated
crafters in Britannia that has helped BOW out as well. I personally
would like to thank Xena at stratics for the continued support, and Warnhack
who has taken the reins of BOW as of late, especially when I left UO for
a brief period of time he has kept BOW alive. I would also like to
thank tristen of the Atlantic Chapter for keeping BOW strong there while
I was gone. And to all you Shardmasters that are still here, hang
in there things will get better for BOW in the new year.
Warnhack and myself are going through each shard one at a time to try and help out the current Shardmasters if there is any on that shard to get things running smoothly again, of coarse this all take time and dedication, and without the support of our members being dedicated to BOW we would not be able to do this. One of our goals for the new year is to have a BOW presence on every shard even if that shard does not have a Shardmaster. We are working toward gathering funds on those shards to purchase a house and a guildstone. Once that is done either myself or Warnhack will have control of the house and guildstone until there is a proper Shardmaster found. If you would like to help out in anyway please feel free to contact me at jdanielsii@home.com or Warnhack at warnhack@signature-is.com . We look forward to hearing from you. From all of us at BOW Have A Safe and Happy New Year. Jack Daniels II (5:15pm est) |

| I would like to just say to everyone that comes to this
web page and enjoys coming to this web page to have a very Merry Christmas,
and to enjoy there Christmas dinner.
From all of us here at BOW HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Jack Daniels II (1:00pm est) |

|
| On another note. We are looking for people who are interested
in helping to get BOW placed on all the shards. The goal of this effort
is to buy at least a small placed house and a stone on each shard. That
way, BOW owns the houses and the stones, and when we get someone to act
as Shardmaster on a particular shard, he vote them as Shardmaster. Then
if they decide to leave BOW, then we can just transfer the stone to the
next Shardmaster. The houses will not be turned over to the Shardmaster
as such, due to we do not want them quitting, and then selling or transferring
the house. If you are interested in helping with this project, please contact
me ASAP. We have come up with a way to do this, and all it will cost you
is some time.
We are also in the process of trying to set up a BOW Council to oversee the operations of BOW. If you are interested in participating, or have ideas, feel free to contact me. The Council will probably not be started until after the first of the year, but the housing/stone project needs to be carried forward soonest. I thank you in advance for your help in both matter. Hello all. I wish to take this time to wish everyone a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope the coming year will be good
for each of you.

Hello again. Sorry for the long silence, but things have
been busy for me personally. Good news!! JD is coming back to help (maybe
take the lead again) get BOW moving again. The Christmas season is upon
us (I hope we all enjoyed our cheesy UO Christmas gifts), and many people
will be traveling and not be here, so things may be a little slow. But
on we go.. Here is the updated list of Shardmasters that are in place (and
ones we hope to get in place shortly). If your shard is not represented,
why not take up the reigns and lead the charge yourself.

| Hail everyone. It looks as if things are starting to
pick up and move forward. I am still in the process of trying to get confirmations
from several of the Shardmasters for BOW. Erin Hunt of AOL Legends Fame
has decided to stick with us, and in the near future affiliate BOW with
Order. It may add some needed sparks to BOW on AOL. There has been an interest
in Pacific and now Hokuto. This is still in works, but looks like it may
come about fairly shortly. Also, the Catskills stone has been activate
by Bo the Flether, and control of the stone shall be turned over the the
permanent Shardmaster shortly. I am looking forward to that. The guildstone
for Catskills will be housed at the Village of Edinburgh. This is welcome
news, and I am glad to hear it. There was a lot of work done by former
BOW members in getting Edinburgh going. It will be somewhat of a home coming
to many people. Thanks to Fred Adams for allowing this to happen.
We are slowly moving forward, and getting things accomplished. To all of you who are working hard to get BOW moving forward again. I want to thank you. I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving, and if you are
traveling, that you arrive and return safely at your destinations.

| Still in the process of trying to establish which shards
are active and have shardmasters. Until that time, we are sort of in limbo
on some shards.
These are the shards that have active BOW memberships Atlantic - BOW- tristen (Active) Great Lakes - BOW - Slack Jaw (Active) Lake Superior - B@W - Warnhack (Active) Chesapeake - BOW - Hobart (Unknown) Asuka - B*W - Cathedly (Leaving) Drachenfels - BOW - Griswold (Active) Oceania - BOW - Chippy (Unknown) AOL Legends - ??? - Erin Hunt - Changed the name of the Guild to Britanian Order of Woodsmen (Going Order) Pacific - Interest in this Position Catskills - Interest in this position As you can see, there are many shards missing from this
list. Several chapters of BOW have disappeared. We need everyone's support
so that we can make BOW the premier craftsmen's guild in UO. If you have
ideas or suggestions, feel free to let us know.

| Short update. Seems that there have been a lot of changes
to the shardmaster status for several of the chapters for BOW. I have sent
request of all the shardmasters to update me on what is going on. So far,
a few have responded. I will start updating in the next couple of days.
For those of you who are members of BOW, if you would contact your shardmaster
and have them drop me mail, it would be appreciated. For BOW to get back
on it's feet, we need active members, and not just names on a page.

| Hail All. I have sent all shardmasters ICQ's about the
status of their guilds. I am waiting for responses from them. I have heard
from the shardmaster of Asuka and was informed they were quitting UO at
the end of the month, so it looks like we will need a new leader then.
If you play on Asuka, the why not take the reigns and go for it. There
are currently openings for Balhae, Catskills, Formosa, Hokuto, Izumo, Seige
Perilous, and Yamato. If you play one of these shards and wish to take
over as shardmaster for your shard, fill out an application and send it
in.
Things are getting cranked up very slowly. Hopefully things will get going, and the shards will become active again. I hope so. On a better note, since I started updating the pages,
I have gotten several new applications, and will be sending them to the
shardmasters as soon as I hear from them. I look forward to working with
everyone, and making BOW a vibrant organization.

| Hail everyone. It looks as if everything is updated and
in place, so that updates can now start happening again. We apologize for
the long delay that has happened, and will strive to keep the site updated
and moving forward again. For this to happen, we need your help. For those
of you who are shardmasters, I need you to contact me so that I know you
are still active, and I can send you what applications I have. For those
of you who are members, I need you to contact your shardmasters and let
them know that they should contact me.
Due to recent events, we have had some minor setbacks, and hopefully we are beyond those. For BOW to continue to serve the UO community, we need everyone's help. We need suggestions! what you like or don't like about the your chosen professions. For those of you who are writers, what do you think about the addition of stories about your adventures? To everyone in the BOW community, I would like to say
it is good to be back. Now lets go make this the best known organization
in all of UO.
