Todays guest is none other than the Grand Dame of Zento and collector extradordinare Miss Dawn.



You live in and love Zento. We both agree the trees in Zento are
amazing. What else do you like about that city?
It doesn't end with the trees. All the grounds and landscape of the city makes it the best looking city in are lands.



Let's get down to the real story here. You are an obsessive
collector in the realm. Do you have collections in real life and if so what?
Ahh.. In real life I have one main collection and love. I love
animals and house many. From snakes to albino deer.



Most of us know there are many players that collect certain
items in the realm, like my yellow bell and cocoon obsession.
Then there are players like yourself that collect EVERYTHING.
Most players that collect on the volume you do, have or create
museums like Captain America and Nemo. Your collection is displayed in a more home like fashion. Do you have any plans to create a museum in the future?
At the moment I have 3 houses with "boxed" items that have not been shown. I do wish to make somthing of the sort. But first I want to own most of the city of Zento to show it in. Bring more eye candy to the city.



Way back when what item started you on collecting?
The first item I started on... was moonstones the first week of my
playing. Childish. But oddly enough my 3,000+ stones are increasing in value.

What is your single favorite item you own?
My favorite item would have to be my sigal items. The one of a kind
true purple armor. It being ungetable now just adds to the love of it.



What is your single favorite collection you own?
My single favorite would have to be my Enhanced, Newbie weps dyed with Toko hues.



If you were forced to give away everything you own and keep
only one collection to decorate your house which collection would it be?
I would have to go with my phoenix armor for sure. Being so old
starts for a great first deco.



A good friend of yours, kagarise has donated a few items over
time to your collections. Which one item that he has given do you cherish the most?
That would have to be his friendship. Him and anthor named Xibbad. They have always helped my sick needs of item whoring. They are two great friends.

Where do you shop when looking for needed items for a certain
collection?
Sadly I would say Luna.. over priced yes.. but it's all there.

How long have you been playing UO and how many houses have you
owned so far?
I've been playing Ultima Online for seven years. My account was
handed down to my by my late brother. (Char name Harzel) In this time I've owned many houses. Ranging 30-33 houses that I can remember but my all time true love in houses has to be my 18x18 Zento bank house.

What advice can you give to a new collector on how to
begin?
Keep everything that a Npc doesnt sell... One day those items could
be no longer spawned like MoonStones and many other items over the years.

If you could create a new set of items for UO that could be
collectable what would it be?
I would have to go with a new set of removable armor for your pets.
It could be shown off at all times with out having to remove your own gear.

What is your motto?
To never sell is to always have. I've never sold a item that has touch my hands and I dont tend on starting.


Miss Dawn, thank you so much for taking time from you busy collecting schedule to talk with me. If I did not collect myself I would suggest you seek help, lol. xoxo L.L.
