    I have just recently finished running a comparison test between myself (58 skill metallurgy) and Jonydowy (90 Skill Metallurgy) using slightly over 1k 75Ql Charcoal each and 99Ql Iron. Bear in mind, This Ql charc is about the best you can get and results from lower Ql charcoal will be a lot worse. Results are below: I would like to ask the Devs to look into Metallurgy and coal-making, The Metallurgy % of higher Ql steel is too low and coal piles do not scale correctly to skill level or Ql of mats used. To put this into perspective, To make 75Ql charc you have to put a lot of effort in to gain atleast 80-90 Coal-making, 90+ Woodcutting and 90+ Digging. Plus 90+ Mining is also required to get as high Ql Iron as possible to maximise your results. Then after all that effort you are then required to grind Metallurgy to 90 to receive what is very poor results. Also have to take into account that even at 99 Plate smithing with the 30% Passive armour smith bonus, A single set of plate takes between 50-70, 90+Ql steel lumps to Imp from 85Ql- 90+Ql and you can see from my results for the effort of making and running through 1k charcoal i would get enough for maybe 4 Plate Imps at my current Metallurgy level. I will be conducting one further test using 50ql Charcoal to highlight how poor the results are from Metallurgy and will add to this thread once completed.

    How long until they make the mistake and deem this as abuse to avoid decay and turn Wurm premium characters only? They are on a roll with bad decisions so don't put it past them.

    Full PvP Ban - 09/19/2016 ENDED - 09/19/2016 Here we go again folks. A new situation has come up causing players under certain conditions to become invulnerable to fighting. Until this is fixed we are issuing a Full PVP Ban immediately. Please observe the PVP Ban directives during this time until otherwise stated. A public list of PvP/Raid directives can be found here. http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/137025-pvpraid-ban-directives/ Thank You, Wurm Online Team

    Wagons can hold up to 7 dirt crates, 9 huge crates and 15 medium crates. Idea shamelessly stolen from Wess, these things are amazing, please add! The 500/250 sizes are nice as they are add up easier to 1,000, Making market transactions a little cleaner when making bulk sales rather than trading in partial crates. 150/300 I never did understand how those numbers came about. The dirt crate is very nice, when you are working on massive terraforming projects this is the way to go.

    I know there was some features on the test server which never made it to live, one being archery to damage ships. From what I understand the idea was scraped, but part of the coding for this idea was forgotten about and left in place to make it to live. Specifically you can no longer repair ships while sailing them. [10:01:33] You cannot repair the boat while it is being commanded. Some folks like to imp things as they travel around, you should be able to work on your ship as well, could this piece of code be looked into and possibly removed if it was just an oversight?

    All I see is one guy upset he didn't get all 3 charges for himself. I wasn't there. I don't normally go to hunts. I'm pretty sure I've never ever seen a slaying where one person got all 3 charges. Pretty silly thread. Edit: I was misinformed, and I apologize. I only read the chat logs given to me and they showed only the greed. Not the actual omissions to stealing.

    Here's the version that allows you to see uncovered veins/through walls: LiveMap [Edited] (Google Drive) I'm probably going to get absolutely slaughtered for posting it, but honestly it's deleting 3 lines. Anyone with basic programming knowledge who can decompile and recompile a program can do this. I see no reason to leave the people who are unable to code "out of the loop" I guess you could say.

    Looked at the code... trees will not naturally spread to tiles within 2 tiles radius of another tree or 3 tile radius of oak or willow. Also interesting - they won't spread to tiles that contain any tracks, so more animals in an are should cause less tree density

    As featured in the news this week; The Orient Express canal is now officially open and a Heritage site. It took a total of 5 years to complete, is 7 tiles wide and has a length of 915 tiles. The canal runs from House of Lords to Lakes End. Map courtesy of Hughmongus House Of Lords Entrance: Lakes End Entrance: The canal features: Wide corner turnings. High ceilings and maximum min-able rock depth - for taking those big boats through. Walkways either side, all the way through. Central dock with tunnel up to the steppe hunting area and Devils Shadow. East side dock and tunnel to steppe hunting area and House of Pain. Back story: The brainchild of the canal was Nivox, who started the route from Devils Shadow to House of Lords late 2011. He worked on it as a side project for a good year before quitting Wurm for his career. With this tunnel between HOLs and DS mostly complete, Zomag (owner of DS) and I decided to continue his work of creating a canal to Crystal Lake from the east coast. The initial plan for the canal was for it to be dead straight. However this proved to be impossible due to numerous large deeds in the way. After determining the only available location on crystal lake for the exit, a tunnel was piloted to connect to Devils Shadow. Zomag and I continued working on mining the tunnel when we could, the project was more of a pipe dream and the general thinking was that we probably would never finish it. We did however, persevere, and in the final year of construction we gained the help of some fine miners. Most noteworthy being Pingpong, who personally smashed at least 70/80 veins (we lost count after a while!) and cleared vast swathes of rock on the last leg. Second major credit goes to Cerber, who also helped clearing many veins and the final tunnel section. Other Credits:

    I believe that reinforced mine floors were originally introduced to have the ability to prevent newbie accounts from being able to mine down and ruin mine floors. Then over time players somehow came up with the idea that they would prevent tile cave-ins on those tiles, which was never their intended purpose or even an effect presented. I also remember not long ago there was some discussion as to whether they had any effect at all on preventing tile cave-ins and some Wurm staff claimed that they did. To me it doesn't make any sense that they would since then you could just use 1 floor reinforcement to replace 2 side tile reinforcements. Since the Dev policy is never to reduce any time consuming processes once initiated (e.g. remove lye requirement from making concrete as some WU servers have done), I see no reason why they would make reinforced floors prevent tile cave-ins other than as some unintended side effect, if they do at present have any effect on tile cave-ins at all. =Ayes=

    The reason why things like this happen is that all rolls lower than -100 and higher than 100 are discarded and rerolled, instead of capping the result. This is why someone with extremely high skills and item QLs still gets lousy results--for example, a miner with 99 skills and a QL95 supreme max-imbued pick only gets an average shard QL of ~85. A player with 99 smithing, 99 metallurgy, QL95 coal, and QL99 iron to work with would only wind up with an average output of ~QL83 steel. While it keeps the game from being flooded with max-QL resources, it sure is frustrating to get such lackluster returns after all that grinding.

    The fact of the matter is that its done and dusted, like wrapping pelts, the arrow imping trick and fo battery healers. It's gone, QoL has dropped and the game has become harder. Instead of pushing towards the past why not go to the suggestions forum and push for some changes that would replace what is lost and benefit everyone? No decay on deeds seems like a good start!

    Some "refinement process (ql increasing)" for coal and/or alloys could make things more fun for material producers. Just saying.
  28. 1 point
    Charcoal works as the tool in this case. Thus, improving tool ql by improving how coalmaking works will lead to a higher proportion of higher quality steel. Boosting metallurgy results does not fix the issue, it simply masks the issue, the issue is that coalmaking is prooducing disproportionate results compared to skill and materials. Fixing that will improve this all round.

    Normally, pruning fruit trees once a year is enough, and that is after harvest. Not all need pruning or benefit from it. In rl I mean.

    Also, to add to these posts. Keep in mind, I've played the same character for 6 years... I truly don't think many WU servers will stay online for that long. On top of that, as they've already said most WU server offer at the very least 3x skill gaining and generally 3-5x action timers... that's crazy fast. You will sky rocket to high skill levels in a few weeks. WU and WO have no natural endgame content aside from Rifts and Unique Killing, it's left up to you to make your own endgame. Once you sky rocket to a high skilled character, then what? What is there to look forward to? What is there left to accomplish? The faster and easier you accomplish something... was it then truly an accomplishment? Just things to keep in mind Good Luck!

    https://wurm-unlimited.com/servers/players/ Well its now the most populated server and even without the "actual player count", it's still the most populated server. That said and done... It's not a competition its just fun. I've played on this server from the start, I helped advertise as I know Wurm players are always looking for a good home and honestly... I don't think you will be disappointed with this server! The skill gain is perfect, not to fast but not to slow. The PvE map is really well made, the height limits, spawns and shape/layout are great. The community is also very decent and the PvP server is released soon! If you are tempting a new server, PvE or PvP I would recommend!

    That is not what she said... I'll agree with Aeris' idea to make the ripe stage last a bit longer, at least another day to give time to harvest if you miss a day. And Finn's idea to have weeds give a yield, but less... say 40-50% of what it would've given? I've had ripe farm tiles turn to weeds shortly after tending, it's kinda annoying...

    My girlfriend often makes fun of me doing this. And I do it pretty much in every game I play. Especially 3rd person/racing games. But it helps..it really does...like blowing in old nintendo games...you just know it.

    I can see introducing *more* of Malena's wonderful colored horses to the game but I like the old horse colors too, especially the sort of light black one. The brown one is pretty nice too but my 4 WO horses are all the old black color which is my preference. Please no horseiside on the side to ride to this drastic step on the road to this horse evolution solution. Need I add a neigh? Otherwise, yea more new horsies added. =Ayes=

    Jet black and plain black are somehow redundant; I wish we got silver black instead, or just replace the plain black with the silver black one. That being said .. I'll always be addicted to my white horses.

    Bump, it was changed but there still isn't enough drake hide drop for half a set. To any developers reading this, try tripling the new rate. The most you can get currently is something like 1.4kgs, you can get like 8kgs of scale from a dragon.

    It used to be like that, the reason they changed it was so that people who missed the harvest slot shouldn't lose their entire fields in one go. I agree though, it would be much better if they ripened at the same time. A possible solution so that people won't lose all crops in one go if they can't log in would be to increase the time in which they are at the ripe stage - Which would be useful for many reasons. It wouldn't hurt anyone either since if you want the crops gone at some point you can just remove them.

    Since I rarely see this incredibly stupid expression unconnected to some major schadenfreude action (as in by people who failed to get their own cake and are now gloating at the possibility of others losing theirs), may as well finally ask this out loud: Just exactly what in the seven hells is one supposed to do with cake other than eating it?

    Losing income from 20 premium characters simply because the players are losing interest in the game (or rather, poor staff actions) might prompt some brainstorming. Who knows. I'm not losing out, there's plenty of fish in the sea that do not mess with their customers. And no, I'm not so much bothered by the removal of a bugged item as much as the manner in which it's done. First promise to keep them as a legacy, then say they'll remove them but replace the functionality, then say they're maybe thinking about replacing SOME of the functions and keeping it as vague as possible, saying there's no hurry. If you can't understand why that's a problem then we won't see eye to eye on it anyway.

    there must be code that references horse speeds and colors? Guessing 2 or 3 people are code diving right now to find out I really don't trust field testing in wurm. There are so many rumors that we took as fact, which turned out to be completely wrong.
