These are some important locations everyone should know about on the shard. This is not an exhaustive list. Explore the world to see what fantastic player establishments you can find!

Insane Asylum aka the original Rune Library

Traveling is a large part of Ultima Online. IUO created a rune library immediately east of Luna. There are runes and teleportation devices at this library to major points of interests like city banks and dungeon entrances. There are also vendor NPCs and vendor stones that sell many useful items! You can even open your bank at this rune library.

On the steps of the rune library, you can find vendors that sell a variety of items useful to all players. Visit the rune library and check out what each of the vendors sell and what currency they take.

The white vendor stone can be double clicked to access items it sells to. If you don't see the white vendor stone, walk on the steps so that the contents of the rune library load.

Some useful items for new players available here are:

  • Full magery spellbooks
  • Full necromancy/necromancer spellbooks
  • Bags of sending
  • Translocation powder
  • and more!

Inside the rune library on the first floor, you'll find:

  • Pentagrams to cast Arcane Circle on
  • A table that will let you exchange imbuing ingredients (Magical Residue, Enchanted Essence, Relic Fragments)
  • Crystal Portal - teleports you to city banks - double click for instructions
  • Corrupted Crystal Portal - teleports you to dungeon entrances - double click for instructions
  • Moonstone Crystal - double click for destinations
  • Serpent's Jawbone - double click for destinations
  • Runebooks to major points of interest

Inside the rune library on the second floor, you'll find:

  • House addons used for crafting including a soul forge
  • Lockpicking chest(in the Southwest corner) and lock picks to help you quickly reach 100 Lockpicking which is a free skill
  • Repair bench - this can repair items with gold. Using gold to repair will not reduce the items max durability
  • Green sparkles teleporter to see pre-built houses that are available for purchase with gold

Community Rune Library

Gates - In addition to the public moongate, you will find gates to other points of interest. Hover the gate to to see where it will take you!

Pet Vendor Stone – Located to the north of the Luna moongate, at the entrance to the stable, there are two stones of interest to tamers. One allows you to buy pet bonding deeds to avoid waiting for bonding to complete and pet leashes so you can shrink your tames which allows for ease of transport and switching pets to match your enemies. The other stone will anyone to resurrect their pet without needing veterinary.

Corpse Summoner – North West of the Pet Vendor is a Corpse Summoner. If you die and can’t get to your body, he can recall it to you for a fee. You can then access the body to get your items back. Beware, this is still subject to the normal decay timer and uninsured items may be looted by the enemy you are fighting!

Monthly Dye Tubs – If you head into the center of Luna, just south of the bank are public dye tubs of all kinds to use. At the west end of these are the monthly dye tubs which will change to different specific hues each month. These special tubs can dye almost any item and are not limited to only cloth, leather or metal.


Community Vendor House

Another house run by Dennis the Librarian, there are vendor spots available at this house located outside the Luna walls to the south west. The vendors are available rent free and are a good place to start if you wish to set up a vendor before you have your own house. For newer players to the server it’s a good idea to stop by here to see what bargains you can pick up.

Miscellaneous

Luna moongates – to the east of the bank is a row of moongates that go to New Haven bank roof, Britain bank, Moonglow Zoo, Heartwood and the Haochi’s Treasures turn in at Zento.

New Haven moongates – on the bank roof are a row of moongates including a regular moongate, one to Britain bank, one to the Insane Asylum, one to the New Player Dungeon (New Haven Mines) and one to Luna bank.

Trammel Britain Bank moongates – in front of the bank is a regular moongate, one to the New Haven bank roof and one to the Felucca Britain bank.

Felucca Britain Bank – Here you can access a spellweaving arcane circle. It is set up so that you will always get a max level arcane focus even if you’re the only person casting it.

The Holy City in the south of Ter Mur can now be travelled to directly at any moongate

It is now possible to recall, gate and mark at the sea market.
