Posted September 5, 2016 We Are Live! What's an Impalong? It's a community event that's hosted on someone's deed, where crafters and priests from across Wurm join together to improve/enchant others' gear for free. In addition to the imping/enchanting, there are various other things such as games and events, prize giveaways, contests, and sometimes even GM's drop in to spawn a few mobs on unsuspecting Impalong-goers. The 2017 Impalong thread can be found here: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/158062-blackmoor-christmas-impalong-2017/ The 2018 Impalong thread can be found here: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/165372-blackmoor-christmas-impalong-2018/ The 2019 Impalong thread can be found here: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/171787-blackmoor-christmas-impalong-2019/ The Deed The deed is outfit with a variety of accommodations to facilitate the running of the Impalong. The crown of the deed is the main Impalong hall centered in the deed, that provides 3 floors for crafters and priests to do what they love best. Next is the mighty Blackmoor Arena, a sprawling set of stone walls and halls set around Blackmoor Castle, with the purpose of providing ample room for both spectators and the epic battles between the gladiators that entertain them. Lastly, there is the Freedom Inn, a towering structure that is able to accommodate 50 guests all housed in their own rooms, which accommodations provided where they can store their belongings in safety. Please PM me or one of the other staffers for a room. Main Impalong Structure Spoiler First Floor Second Floor Third Floor Rules Spoiler Item Placement: Name your items before placing them into improvement/casting coffins or forges! Double-check which coffin or forge you should place your items in, and place them there. Pick up your finished item as soon as possible to make space for new items. If space is running short, Impalong staff will move finished items to "Overflow" bins. You will need to contact Impalong staff in order to retrieve your items. Improvements/Enchanting: Quality items are improved to is at the discretion of the imper, but the minimum anything will get imped to is 70ql; if you want higher quality than arrange that via PM with an imper but ensure first that there is not a backlog of other items to be imped first. Only items that are 70ql+ will be cast on(unless they are skiller items). Place your items into the coffin labeled with the enchantment you want. YOU are then responsible for moving the items to other coffins to receive other enchantments. Getting your items enchanted is at your own risk! Other: Do NOT abuse the system by bringing in a dozen items of the same time to get improved/enchanted. If that occurs the items are forfeit, and will be confiscated then tossed into the volcano out back(yes, we have one). Do NOT abuse the system by bringing placing in extra items of the same type, save for certain things like arrows or horseshoes. Do NOT sell items that you've gotten improved/enchanted. The pro-bono work done here is not so you can make a profit, so if that is your intention you are not welcome here. Turn OFF your personal lightsources like lanterns or torches! It helps with the lag. If you have any issues contact Shrimpiie or TheRedReaper ingame or on the forums. Events/Games Spoiler The Great Scavenger Hunt!

If you have any questions feel free to post in this thread, and I will add the answer below here! Spoiler Sila: its realy early and 15 days? heh what about public vote first? Answer: Yes I am posting this now in order to get the word out there nice and early. Also, 15 days is a nod to Willow's Last Impalong, the first Impalong in which I attended in Wurm, of which ran for about 2 weeks or so. As for a public vote, never thought that was really a requirement, more just folks stepping up if they wanted. I decided after last Christmas Impalong that I wished to try my hand at them, having attended 11 Impalongs before. I've worked on the deed since April as well, and created it with the sole purpose of hosing the Christmas Impalong Savronne: If 67 ql is okay for cotton and can donate cotton towards the imp along in the next several months Answer: All donations are accepted and can be fit in somewhere. The current cotton is just what I had on hand for the likely inevitable injuries that can occur from GM's having too much fun! Gawain: What way would I sail to get here from the west coast of Xanadu? Answer: If you are in NW Xanadu, then I would recommend instead plotting course to say, Exodus, then crossing Xanadu's north border; this will leave you in SW Exodus; from there you can just plot course to Independence and sail over Exodus' western border and poof you will be in SE Independence. If you are in SW Xanadu, then simply plot course to Independence and sail over Xanadu's west border and poof you are in SE Independence. If you are in the middle of west coast Xanadu then simply plot course to Independence and sail over Xanadu's west coast, this will place you in the middle of Independence's east coast, just sail south from there until you hit the island. Gawain: Will there be ship improving? Answer: Indeed, that is one of the crafts of the Impalong! Kyleshandra: Also, do you need amy other material/ supplies? Answer: I will PM you regarding that. Talohan: Shrimpiie, reading your laundry list of things left to do, would it help if some of us come early, like on Friday the 16th and help finish anything before Sunday? Answer: Unfortunately I don't have the time really to coordinate permissions and material moving for completing different parts of the deed. I will scale back some of the things needed to be done as frankly they aren't necessary to the running of the Impalong itself. Thank you though! Harth: I can donate about 10,000 corn ~93ql if that helps? Answer: Any donations help, that much corn can DEFINITELY make a difference though, to my calculations it should come to about 30,000 favor for Nahjo saccing! Pox: How many is a reasonable amount to bring along to be imped? Answer: My intention was to not have folks throwing in say, 10x swords to get improved all for themselves. If you have items needing improved then by all means throw them in! I don't see issue with folks getting what they want improved, as it seems like we will have a huge stock of those impers. 36 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 5, 2016 Exciting! Looking forward to the Shrimpalong. Can you put me down for Leatherworking, as usual, if you need more impers? And perhaps carpentry too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 5, 2016 Added everyone up until this post. It's great to see so many folks already coming, and I'm sure more will follow suit. Also, there is always room for more impers regardless of how many there are already. If we get bored we can just start making things to imp for the hell of it! I've updated the bottom of the main post with answers to the questions asked already as well. I will say, Shrimpalong has a nice ring to it. However, it will remain as the name it is now 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 5, 2016 Hi Shrimpiie. Could you change my name from Aariez to Mithirian on the imper list? "Aariez" as a forum handle was a mistake which I really wish I could fix but I was told the only way is to start a new forum account ... which would mean losing my join date and any history I have, so I'm not keen on the idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 5, 2016 A bit early to be making a commitment for christmas but given the length of time going I'm sure I'll pop up, will be available as a weapon smith and I'll drift into whatever my skills allow if that's not busy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
