I mostly see this as immersion thing. Some people like it, some don't. My 2 cents is from practical point of view of Wurm as a game. We have skills for reasons. If you use blacksmithing to improve, it is a tool. If you use weapon smithing to improve it, it is a weapon. And I'm sure everyone already knows there has been lot of farming tools in history used as weapons as well. But about the training skills while not exactly fighting...

Not been there for long time, so not sure of the deed you mention. But some time ago (couple years likely) there was some event at the top. Rift maybe? People used a tunnel to the top that was already made, just few tiles collapsed and re-mined. It could be starting at the end of road you see going north from Darqness in the picture. Although if my memory works at all, there was also a tunnel (maybe that same that was used for event?) at some point that started further west from there. Something like 1/4 of distance from the red line towards the road north from Darqness. But overall, if there is deed blocking mining even part of the way, finding tunnel is mostly waste of time, just climb. I know very well the distance, but I also know you can do it. Wine/sandwich/priest or combination will work better than trying to find and redo old tunnel.

Nature & Landscape PvE Community Public slaying on Release Oct. 1.

I'm mainly SFI player and could offer much more help with projects there. But when NFI opened I of course had to have a look around, and I still have character there. Making ships and cages is something I like, so in future I might be able to help with that. Probably not within a month though, thanks to real life issues and my char in NFI being so underwhelming that everything takes twice as long, or more, as with my main in SFI. Also I understand there would have to be commonly agreed idea that ships donated for the bridge end crossing over are for that only. So players would also monitor the usage a bit. I'm sure GM's don't want to get involved with many disputes on "abuse of free ships".

Congratulations. Bridge between servers is long talked about topic and hopefully someone actually doing the best available at the moment will spark some new ideas for devs too (since animal cages can cross, other measures for few tiles should be possible as well). Have you thought about setting an area around the bridge with free-use ships and animal cages? I know it requires trust to people only using those to cross the server to other side to park there, not sailing away with them. But Wurm is one of those games where that sort of community things can work.

For what it's worth, I kept lava tile on one of my deeds for about a year. Redoing the same spot when I noticed it gone. I had 3 times it spreading, twice uphill and once downhill. So from that limited statistics, I wouldn't draw conclusions too much. But spreading of lava does happen, just not as much as people fear (maybe, your case seems rather fast spreading, not sure if that has changed recently to spread more often). And I'm not at all sure uphill or downhill has any relevance there (haven't looked at the code of unlimited for it). Could be one more of those cases where people apply regular world logic to where they should just assume wogic instead. Also edit: Keeping the lava tile on deed started about 3 years ago and ended 2 years ago. So definitely lava going uphill was a thing at least 2-3 years ago.

I tried to finish journal goal Going the distance on my priest alt. The part of creating 5 items from every metal. Made all old metal and alloy, including moonmetal items, but it did not finish that part. Remembered addition of Empyrean, so got some of it and made 5 needles. Journal part does not finish AND those needles don't show in achievement window either. Below is picture of it.

Few more towers for the map.

First of all, thank you Dale for keeping map updated. Also thanks for everyone contributing locations. I would like some correction about guard tower location(s) in M10/M11 area. The important one is Calimdor 874 If you go to spot where it is currently listed, you can't actually see the tower because of landscape and trees. You might be able to spot a guard, if you are very lucky and look right direction. Correct location is: https://xanadu.yaga.host/#1503,4427 Calimdor 874 The other three are already easily findable being next to highway and pretty close to correct. The only thing is if for some reason someone wants to pinpoint their current location using those towers. Being on correct sides of crossroad etc. makes it easier. If you wish to place them in exact spots I list below correct locations. https://xanadu.yaga.host/#1635,4823 Annalise 946 https://xanadu.yaga.host/#1629,4711 Harthim 434 https://xanadu.yaga.host/#1629,4555 Harthim 290

I would try around 4900,3195 approximately.

Well, I've been using my neighbors wagoner to move things between my deeds, sometimes because it was not a hurry, sometimes because it was more convenient than sailing alt over, thinking he got the full amount. Several times it was a borderline thing where using wagoner took more time, but not critical amount and I only ended up using wagoner because of this false impression of him benefitting 100%. Now I know better and will probably only use it when I feel really lazy. Other times I can just go and put the coins in his token directly so he gets what I intended.

I have multiple alts at one goal left to fulfill the tier(s) on purpose to use sleep bonus in most effective way. Though, being alts, I'm ok even if I lose some of the gains there, for those that have their main in similar situation it is more important to know. And while I can now run the new client very easily with about as many clients I can fit on my screen, less than year ago my old computer had serious trouble running even two, so I can sympathize the requests for maintaining older client in some form. Even that old computer wasn't that old or underpowered. Of course people with newer computers are more likely and able to spend more money in the game, but playerbase here is largely older and more conservative with buying new machines (generalization, I know, but seems to fit my observation). Is there a way to add more options to downgrade/downsize (not sure which word to use) the client to keep it functional on older machines as well? I guess the term minimalistic UI that was used above would fit. Edit: Having looked at the thread specifically about issues with new UI, it seems the problems are, hopefully, more about settings and overall function of it. So it seems actual performance issues are less than they were before? At least I hope so. My own first encounter with new UI was not positive and before changing computers, it was simply impossible to use it. Last months it's been very good for me. But I would hate to see someone forced away from game just because issues with client. So still hoping lot of scalability there.

To add to my earlier post, I tested making baits with full inventory and my earlier assumption/memory was correct. You get no skill gain for wasted bits. There was very tiny skill gain still, but I discovered it comes from inventory having space for 1 item after you "open" 1 space by making the bait. If you hold fish in container inside your inventory and make bait from there you don't get even that because no space is produced to make the bait and 100% is wasted. My alt had 46,80 skill in fishing before the test and after making 20 perch into bait while clearing inventory to have space got skill up to 47,01. No sb, no coffee, butchering knife was ql26 (no idea if that was good or bad or meaningless for the result) with woa93 and coc96. No affinity food used and nutrition was only 86 at the time of test. ql of Perch was 52.5 taken from fsb and that made 27 fishing baits per action, so I can also confirm that skill in fishing does not affect amount of bait you get, it is based on ql (which equals weight taken from fsb) of fish used. In any case, if you wish to grind fishing by making baits, make sure you have way to dump the baits so you can get skill gain. edited: added underlined the thing I forgot to write, skill gain was less than 0,01 with full inventory wasting 20 perch but as soon as I cleared it to get baits produced, skill gain was the mentioned amount.

Well, for raising fishing skill with net, don't forget you can also use those small fish as well to raise skill further. Make fishing bait from small fishes. (sardines are not good except very early, roach gives more bits and perch the most, ql also effects the amount of baits produced per fish and therefore the skillgain as well) Enchanted butcher knife is extremely helpful, but you do get good gains especially at lower levels of fishing skill. And it still works even after 70 skill. Plus sb and maybe caffeine to boost. You will create lot of baits and they will flood your inventory in few actions. Now I'm not sure if you get skill gain for the discarded pieces in case your inventory is full. For some reason at first try it seemed to me skillgain stopped if inventory was full already, but I'm NOT sure and can't test it right now. IF you do get skillgain even with full inventory wasting the bits, it is very good way to gain skill in case you have thousands or even hundreds of small fish, basically could buy perches and make your way to 90 fishing spending some hours making baits. I always made baits next to cart with lot of barrels there and just dropped them in barrels. Those baits work well for deed enchant bonus when you dump altar full and sacrifice. No exact numbers to give now, but I think 100 bait in altar is about as good or better as 20 rock shard. When I did fishing grind on my main to get over 70, I could forget about deeds (plural intentionally) bonus for long time after.

The items silently disappear from the spirit cottage. You expect them to reach Pastor in less than ten minutes. Thank you for buying.
