Saw this:



Does this mean UMD is a waste? Alot of items have "Only useable:Bard/Wizard/Druid", does this rule mean we can't use any class specific items at all, or is there something I am missing b/c of my ultra-noobish status??

Some items have a special restriction in the item description. It's generally tagged with "OOC: Only for SDs/Bards/Weapon Masters".

Then you got a ton of items with the usual "Only usable by: Bard/Good/Cleric" where the other item properties are listed.

The rule only applies to those with the "OOC:" tag there or some comment, that it's only usable by certain classes. All the others can be freely used with UMD.

No, it refers to some items (some deity rings come to mind), that have something like "//OOC Restriction: Only useable by elves. No exceptions." in their description. If it just has the normal restrictions, like those you listed, it's fine to use it with UMD.

Nope, UMD can still be used. Just, anything that has the OOC restriction saying you can't use the item unless you meet alignment/Race/class requirements, then you can't use it.

There are plenty of other useful things that you'll be able to find as you go along which you can use/wear with UMD, Boots of the Sunsoul for example.

There was recently a sweep on some of the items which are OOC'ly restricted, so now you'll mostly only find that things like Deity Rings and Weapon Master specific weapons (I think).

thanks!

You can even be really tricky and craft UMD skill enhancing items via the mythal system, then use them to wear certain items and switch out the items later.
