Talk:Ultima IV Walkthrough

Skull necessity
I know there's a common perception that the Skull of Mondain is gravy, but it seems to be essential, at least on some platforms. I was just playing the PC version and the principle of Virtue emblems didn't work until I used the skull. In this article, it has the skull listed at the end, which didn't seem to work for me.

 * Pretty sure it is just gravy. I just recently started a playthrough myself on PC. I'll let you know if I can get partials without the skull. -- Fenyx4 20:11, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Fast Travel Moongate Routes
Not yet optimized for speed, but merely minimizes the fewest number of gates (2). Speed would be preferred because passing turns can waste a lot of food, but even using the Ztats-cheat to pause food consumption while spinning the clock is bothersome; I'd rather rush through four gates than sit on my thumb for a few minutes. 50.107.148.103 19:18, 20 January 2019 (MST)
 * My son's school is closed tomorrow. I work from home, so this means I won't get much "work" done.  So I might as well set up Floyd's Algorithm in C#, using moon phase counts as the weight/cost of each path segment, and possibly have a time-optimized table instead of the "2 jump max" table I whipped up.  Or maybe not.  He can be a handful, and my boss expects me to react damned near instantly if I get any tickets from the helpdesk.  We'll see.  74.37.10.204 23:14, 22 January 2019 (MST)
 * There are only two paths which need optimization. It may actually be quicker/easier to travel through three gates for these, and thus waste less food and time.  I won't be able to return to my work on this for another few weeks though. Uniblab (talk) 03:04, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
