		<description><![CDATA[&#160; What&#8217;s an Ultra Slayer, exactly? &#160; An Ultra Slayer is a monster-specific weapon unique to IPY. Much like a regular slayer, the Ultra Slayer inflicts special effects on a group of monsters (but NOT players). The Ultra Slayer is a bit different, however. Instead of simply doing double damage to a monster type, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing that has consistently popped up and been a repeated complaint has been skill gain and &#8220;RoT&#8221; (or RCB) on IPY 2. I can&#8217;t necessarily say I agree with any of the complaints. I think very slow skill gain makes for an epic UO experience &#8211; if you live and breathe UO.
