Hello and thank you for your interest!

Mentula:UO is being built around the Age of Shadows / Samurai Empire era with some ML features (and I know what you're thinking....) But this isn't just another stock shard. We've spent countless hours expanding and improving a new PvM system while making sure those changes never bleed into PvP.

(PvP stays familiar, while PvM offers an entirely new progression experience)

Some of what you'll find:

🗺️ A completely custom map to explore!. The map will feature 3 small maps combined into one. each map completely separate from the other and not accessible by water.

⚔️ A heavily reworked PvM progression system with new mechanics as your character grows. There has been a lot of work put into the new PVM progression system, your player will have a pvm level starting at 1 and can reach to 150. Every tier offers 3 unique aspects you can unlock and use one of each aspect from each tier. The aspects offer all sorts of PVM bonuses and abilities. Everything is kept moderate so it's not overwhelmingly powerful. You can also collect PVM marks and use them to buy select items at the pvm vendor.. There is so much more to it and more being added!

Pets also have their own leveling system as well. pet to pet, player to pet and player to player pvp are NOT affected by any of the new PVM mechanics

🎣 A fully custom fishing system with unique rewards and encounters. A new way to fish has been added and we kept the classic fishing as well. You can choose to do the advanced fishing option where you'll use an interactive menu to help you with your catch. The interactive fishing allows players to collect different types of fishing currency and new rares. The currency can be used at the fishing vendor for a variety of items.

🏆 A redesigned Champion Spawn system with fresh challenges. Champions will spawn at a designated location on the map section called "The Lost Lands" 1 random champion will spawn every set amount of time after the first champion dies. It will cycle through every single champion and then restart at the first. (Champions will have doom artifacts, some ML artifacts and other new artifacts specific to mentula. Champions have a 35% chance at an artifact and powerscrolls drop and slightly less of a chance at dropping stat scrolls.

💎 Socketed armor and jewelry that can be enhanced with gems for small but meaningful bonuses. That's right we now have socketed gear! You'll be able to slightly upgrade your gear with gems if the gear has socket slots. Armor and jewelry have a chance to spawn with 1 or 2 sockets.

Runics and crafting: runics can be obtained from the Mentula runic crucible. As you advance in the pvm leveling system you'll be able to collect runic fragments from various monsters and bosses. You'll collect enough of the fragments until you have enough to purchase one of the tiered runic satchels. Each satchel will have the opportunity to give one random runic from that tier. There are different fragments for each tier of runic.

Treasure hunting: T-maps will now generate the treasure at a random land location, depending on the map used the chests will hold various kinds of loot. For normal weapons, armor and jewelry the chest will have a chance at spawning low level gear up to high level (5mod) gear. The chests will also have unique treasure, artifacts and rares

🛡️ A brand-new Faction system is in the works now and will feature 3 new Factions. the factions will be undergoing extensive work over the next couple of weeks and more information will be available soon. but you can expect to see some interesting features and even some new faction items!

👹 Tons of new monsters, new mounts and customs have been added.

Soul stones have been remade. you can now hold up to 40 skills on a soulstone. as well as stats. the soul stones will allow you to store skills, make build loadouts for quick character build swaps that you can save and use on any character from your account.

📈 Extensive balancing focused on making PvM more engaging without affecting PvP. this is super important to us we know how important a fun PVM experience is for players. and we know that PVPers absolutely don't want any added bonuses, abilities etc.. to bleed into PVP. we are working hard on a system that will bring you exactly that.

New custom pre-built homes are being hand crafted and added to the house placement tool and player customizable housing will be available as well.-because the map is going to be somewhat smaller than most there will not be much of any player housing on the main islands so a "housing area" will be available where players can place their homes. as the server grows more housing can be made available if needed.

We're actively developing the shard, and new content is being added every single week. New systems, monsters, bosses, items and features are constantly being worked on.

We also have a custom launcher and custom CUO and Razor build. No other clients will be allowed and are fully blocked. There is also speed hack prevention as well. scripting is also blocked but Macros are allowed.

This is only the beginning. there is so much more to do... but If you're looking for a server that offers something unique, we'd love to have you join us and help shape the future of Mentula:UO.!
