Universal Keys

Universal Storage Key System

This system is in BETA and there are many minor flaws that have been discovered over time

This is a custom storage system developed to reduce weight, clutter and lag on the shard.

There are over 25 types of storage keys that can all be added to a single Universal Master Key that is easy to use and can be carried in your backpack.

Almost any item can be added to a key and it adds zero weight to your character.

Most of these keys can be obtained by doing minor "collection" quests or purchased from various shops around Britain

Keys

The Universal Storage Key system is a custom system used to reduce clutter and weight issues for your character and the shard. Items held in keys add no weight or item count to your character. There is also a Master Key that can hold up to 25 of the individual keys further reducing clutter in your backpack!

There are two types of keys, Deco keys that must be locked down in a house to be used (And generally store larger items such as Armor and Weapons) and Personal Keys which work directly out of your backpack.

Keys held in your backpack will automatically supply items when the game requests them. For instance casting spells with a reagent key will use reagents from inside the key, as well as Crafting lockpicks while holding an Ingot Key will use iron held inside the key.

Not all keys are always obtainable in game, they sneak in and out via monthly events or as loot in puzzle chests or are occasionally placed in the world as purchasable via Darwinism Coins! Keep your eyes peeled for deco objects that look “out of place”!

Some Keys also have a filter interface that allows you to quickly and easily locate items contained within.

**WARNING**

• WARNING! Many of these keys have been removed from the game and need rescripting. DO NOT put ANY custom items into the keys or they will delete or erase properties of the items. The keys were not designed for any non-standard UO items.

• WARNING! DO NOT use the function on the keys "add to pack" or it will suck up all your custom items and erase the custom stats

• WARNING! Make sure you use the [keyguard command on your custom items!

• WARNING! Use these keys AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Also, Keys that are not insured or blessed can be stolen while in PvP Enabled Zones/Facets. Make sure you insure your keys!

Key Guard

You are able to prevent an item from being placed in a key when the “fill from pack” option is selected. In order to do this, enter the “[keyguard” command and then target the item you wish to remain outside the keys. This works on most storable items including reagents and materials. Beware however, that after a server reboot the name of the item will still say “Storage Entry Guarded” but will not work. You will need to reset the keyguards each time the server reboots.

For Example: A custom artifact item like Skull of Vecna, if keyguarded, would not be autolooted into the armory key by accident.
