Welcome to New Hope UO! Whether you are a veteran Ultima Online player or stepping into Britannia for the first time, this guide will help you get established quickly and efficiently.

---

1. Character Creation & Starting Location

• When you create your character, you will spawn in the grand capital of Valdris.
  
• Valdris is the central hub of trade, banking, and portals.
  
• You will start with starter gold, basic weapons, and your starting spellbook/equipment in your backpack.
  

2. Server Caps & Stat Progression

• Skill Cap: 700.0 (7x GM)
  
• Stat Cap: 225 Total (Individual cap: 125 Str, 125 Dex, 125 Int)
  
• No Pay-to-Win: Every power scroll, item, and resource is earned through gameplay!
  

3. Making Your First Gold

• Lumberjacking & Mining: Chop trees around Valdris or mine the mountain ridges. Vendors buy logs and ingots at healthy rates.
  
• Graveyard & Low Dungeons: Visit the local graveyards or Level 1-2 Dungeon areas for quick gold and magic jewelry.
  
• Dungeon Chests: If you have Lockpicking and Remove Trap, search for dungeon chests scattered across all dungeons!
  

4. Finding Vendors & Equipment

• Need supplies, armor, or spellbooks? Use our live web search engine:
  Live Player Vendor Search: https://newhopeuo.com/vendor_search.html
  
• You can filter items by price, world, or keyword, and click the location button to view the exact town map coordinates!
