Beginner's Guide

Welcome to UO Horizon!

Whether you're brand new to Ultima Online or a returning veteran, this guide will help you get established and begin your adventure.

There is no single “correct” way to play Horizon. Explore the world, find your favorite activities, and build your own legend.

There are many ways to earn your first fortune.

Choose whichever sounds the most enjoyable.

Resource gathering is one of the safest and most reliable ways to make money.

You can sell nearly every raw material to other players or use them yourself.

Popular gathering professions include:

• Mining
• Lumberjacking
• Fishing
• Harvesting

As your skills improve, you'll discover increasingly valuable resources.

Crafters supply the entire economy.

Popular professions include:

• Blacksmith
• Bowyer/Fletcher
• Carpenter
• Tailor
• Alchemist

A simple example:

Gather logs → Make boards → Craft arrows → Sell arrows to other players.

Even basic crafted goods are always in demand.

Some players simply enjoy discovering the world.

Explore:

• Hidden towns
• Dangerous dungeons

Exploration often leads to unexpected treasure.
