To clarify, this was stopping getting participation points for casting heal on players When the rift had not opened yet Healing inside active rifts remains the same, it's just stopped the bug giving points before the rift even opened

Hello from Northern Freedom Isles This is the event of a lifetime for those who truly love sailing, navigating, … and sand bars! Your host is again the deed Purebreds H, and after holding three succesful races we are ready to crank it up a notch! Be aware that since this is a big ship race, it’s also a long distance and will take at least 80 minutes. Corbita race Saturday Jan. 16 at 18:00 UCT Prize purse - 120 silver First place: 40 silver Second place: 25 silver, Third place: 15 silver, Fourth place: 10 silver, Fifth place: 5 silver Prettiest ship: 5 silver (decided by a jury of 3).

I'll go first. This is courtesy of Deliverance's Southport by Muse:

I have just been watching Dracaa's stream, and watched her lead 4 horses up to the wagon and then have to go through the process of hitching each one in turn using the menu. It is apparently possible to set a key-bind for 'hitch', but that still means at least 1 key would need to be pressed 4 times. I am just thinking it might be easier and faster if there were a 'Hitch All' option. This would mean that if you are leading several animals using a halter rope, or separate ropes, clicking 'Hitch All' (or using a key-bind for 'Hitch All') would fill all remaining empty animal positions on the wagon with any animals being led. Examples: Before 'Hitch All' After 'Hitch All' Leading 4 0 Empty Wagon Positions 4 0 Animals on Wagon 0 4 Before 'Hitch All' After 'Hitch All' Leading 4 2 Empty Wagon Positions 2 0 Animals on Wagon 2 4 Before 'Hitch All' After 'Hitch All' Leading 2 0 Empty Wagon Positions 3 1 Animals on Wagon 1 3 Before 'Hitch All' After 'Hitch All' Leading 4 2 Empty Cart Positions 2 0 Animals on Cart 0 2 I'm not the first to think of this as the following posts show!

Course map is below! You start by heading straight North from the start line in M13/M14 and make a round trip around the Western region of Harmony, passing through some man-made canals and other obstacles along the way. [1] You must go under the high arch of the bridge. [2] Here is a small sand island inside the great lake, you must go on the inside of the sand island and make a turn. [3] Go North around the Shoalhaven island.

Aske's bridge, and the route over the mountain are well worth seeing, sad to hear that it is crumbling away. It would have been well worth turning north once you get over to the west side of the mountains and travel over the mountains to see the bridges over the pass that the Ageless Tunnel goes beneath (E20). The zigzags of the old path still exist alongside the bridges, and make an interesting diversion when returning south.

I would like to see 1 of 2 changes. 1. For every 10 skill in AH, one random negative trait to be removed from the possibility of being bred so that by AH 80, breeders will no longer be breeding negative traits. 2. Or, for every 10 AH skill, the chance to breed any negative trait(s) be decreased by 10% so that by AH 90 there would only be a 10% chance of getting a negative trait and by AH 100, no chance at all. The exception being for related animals. At least this way, there is a reason to intentionally progress in AH.

I believe small buckets are the optimal container for fragments. With all space used issues, you want to find whatever container holds slightly less then 100 of your item (fragments in this case). This is so because every container will consume its full volume in the magic chest regardless how much of its space is used. Backpacks are very inefficient for storing fragments. A backpack will consume 75 L of your magic chest's available 300 L and it holds 100 fragments (containers for the most part have 100 item count cap). Whereas a small bucket will consume 12 L of the chests volume and hold something like 96 fragments. Many container volumes are here: https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Container I know its very annoying that this kind of information is not right at your finger tips in game but unfortunately Wurm has some bad game practices when it comes to information sharing.

Cooked rice should work with either saucepan or pottery bowl from memory. The lore system will try to steer you towards recipes you don't know, if what you've got so far could have multiple outcomes, so it's likely suggesting a different recipe to cooked rice. If you put rice and any quantity of water in a pottery bowl (or probably saucepan), optionally with a salt, and then do lore on your bowl, it will tell you how much water you need (the 80g - 120g referred to above). You can then adjust the amount of water in your bowl to make the recipe (typically using the pottery measuring jug, which is designed for exactly this).

View from the deed aptly called "Thin Air":

I think the next step for WU would be a VR mod. I don't know if there is already a way to do it, but something that would allow you to use a VR HMD and really be IN the game would be awesome.

It would be good to have somewhere to put gear so that that it is actually depicted (as it would be on the ground or a table) but is a stand or rack. You could have a rack by the door with your favourite weapon, or farming tool, visible so that you can rack it when not in use, but you can grab it directly without opening the container first. Or make it a stand, only holding one item, but allow them placed close together on a tile. Going to farm? grab your shovel, rake, scythe etc. Going mob hunting? sword & shield, bow and quiver etc. It would also allow a player to create a display of choice items in for example their armoury (or boudoir if you are into that sort of thing). It would also be a good way to have shields standing instead of either packed away or lying about.

thank you!

Transmuting a clay tile is impossible without tin lumps, which are impossible with no metal veins. So basically never any forges. I did get up to making iron tools at a campfire but it sounds like there is not a lot farther beyond that you can go. And with no source of iron beyond rummaging, even at a campfire you can only improve tools, weapons, armor a very small amount. (Besides which, transmuting a clay tile even under perfect conditions like fast server, clay jars, tons of apples etc is such a horrific PITA that I swore I would never do it again). So much bare rock face is great for rummaging bits of iron rock but that, plus the exceptionally jagged terrain and very thin dirt, is going to make terraforming a decent deed quite a pain also. And 10 body strength severely limits what you can carry. I think there was some sort of bug making body characteristics really hard to raise without a mod but i can recall the details there. Anyway long long time till anyone will ride a horse or drive a cart. I like the basic idea of a challenging PVE server, although it has been done before. I always love seeing new ones though. Anyway I'll continue to poke around a bit more and set up a deed and all, but do not see much future here. I am curious to see how far I might go if I depend mostly on wood spears and leather armors, and very minimal use of iron.

a shameless bump for tazerlol

Good stuff. Pizza was 20.88kg and 97.73ql. A single bite gave me my requested affinity for 34 hours. After a few "bites" the time rose to 2 days...

I dont think this is necroing since it has been less than 30 days, but I came back to the game and made an account to play on NFI. Honestly to get a breeding pair of horses, all I had to do was forage until I got roughly 20 coppers(and selling some stuff to the token). I asked around and a person got me a couple of blank horses that could be bred for 20 coppers total. I mean it may not be getting the wild ones, but where there is a will, there is a way. For now though, I use em for my cart. Pretty sure many would do that so that they dont have to kill em off for not being an optimal breed. If you get a small deed, you can get a few more horses this way and breed all the horses you want for food, fs, selling, giving away, or using for carts/wagons. This was all a few days ago btw. I still have, at the time of typing this, the newbie buffs to put it in perspective.

Regarding the mistake made with the rifts at the new servers: That was the first comment asking why things didn't go as planned. And here's Retro's reply: Meaning, something went wrong, the Dev's were aware of it and have fixed it. Problem solved, let's move on to the next. Regarding the spreading out of their starting times: https://niarja.com/universes/online/rifts And I copy / pasted the table for those to laz... unable to check the link right now. Times are in CET, btw, but it's more to give an impression. The link provides the time according your time zone. As people can see there, all rifts at the old servers are starting at different dates and times. And that's despite they have been starting at the same time twice!! since the mechanics were introduced. Last time was last year, iirc. Which means that within a period of 40-41 rifts times are so different, players can easily visit multiple rifts within a few days. EVEN at the new servers where only 3 servers are available. Seeing the ones at Cadence and Melody open in the night of Monday to Tuesday; it's very likely few players will attent and thus it'll take longer for the rift to close. Which also means the next time these rifts will open, it's likely Thursday late in the morning or early afternoon. I rest my case. Thorin

You can come over to SE Ind, I can show you some nice places, I know this place like the back of my pocket. I live in R20.

Im afraid you seem to be a little misguided there, it is not the first time and unlikely to be the last. It was done by design and nothing was forgotten if we agree with their method or not and just as the last time when 8 servers were lumped together the answer is the same - "They'll start spreading out on their own, don't worry!" https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/171752-disentangle-rift-start-times/

They will naturally spread out over time as the next one opens based on when it was closed. When they first came to SFI, they were all started at the same time. They are now fairly spread out.

orrrrr remove epic

I posted some of this in the "rebalance f2p" thread but it also belongs here. Maybe, when your premium runs out you shouldn't be dropped to 20/30 for skills/characteristics, but to the average of your prem levels and the non-prem caps. That way letting premium lapse is still a hit and therefore there is incentive to stay premium, but there is still incentive to stick around for a bit post-premium so it is still good to play, but better to premium. Someone with, say, 80 FS while premium would drop to 50. A player returning after a long absence would not instantly be fodder for everything tougher than rats and cats. A 70 skill would drop to 45, which a player who is used to their 70 would definitely feel, but is still not too shabby. The game already tracks your levels while on premium in order to restore that when you re-prem, so it should be a doddle to programme (he says blithely). This would allow people returning after a long absence to not feel like they are starting over from complete scratch. I am even wondering about "restart packs" for returners. A backpack/satchel or something with basic starter-level equipment. The fact that when they stopped they may not have had starters in their inventory could mean they re-start with less gear then when they originally tried the game. Even players could be doing that bit. I have plenty of salvaged basic wood-working tools and basic weapons, even basic armour (I also had a large collection of anvils large and small, but melted them down). If I could guarantee zero decay I would be happy to make up packs and put them in our town inn. None of it is really marketable, so theft wouldn't really be a huge risk. Or maybe stock a merchant with this stuff at very low prices (low enough that a bit of selling off of foraged stuff could finance some basic equipment). It would be better to have an actual game mechanic for it, but I think some players (myself included) would be happy to supply this if the game offered returning players a teleport to a deed that had such a provisioning facility. Hell, provisioning stations (or any trader/merchant) could be provided at starter towns a bit like the bartender, but instead of counting total playtime, count the playtime in the last 7 days or something.

I honestly don't know why a coffin should provide better protection than a chest. Protection is one of a chest's 2 functions.

I'm guessing 20 planks, 6 shafts, 5 small nails and at least 60 in Fine Carpentry.

If this is still available, can you COD to Berbellatos? Thanks!

Removing Order, I thought one of the items was used for something different D;

Amazing shop@! Looking at QL 60 Sickle w96 c64 (12.2s) CoD to Killprada please. Thanks! ❤️

Hello! Can I please get this? You can CoD to Kookiepop in game! QL76 Rare mallet, oak c83 w72 (22s)

Think this might be a good teachable moment. Maybe I can learn something. Wurm has in place many game mechanics that will stop people from " stealing ". Deeds , Saddles on horses and even Branding a horse will prevent someone from leading a horse. The Dev's went as far as to allow a " owner " the ability to track his horse but they have to be branded. Only branding and saddle on a horse is how a horse has an owner. So BRAND your horses. A very fun part of wurm is looting old deeds. No one can know if a fenced in area not deeded is not just abandoned. With the lack of wild horses atm on Cadence Everyone should guard your horses as if they were made of gold. I do hate the OP has lost his horses.

Bump, great selection of items and services.

cod to lancelote pls QL 82 Rope Tool, Oak c89 (7.3s)

Please COD to Goranarish the QL 1 Pickaxe, iron c104 (35s).

Please CoD to Millstone, thank you.

I don't understand why people defend the way it "works". For the vast majority of players a horse is all about the five speed related traits. With your 90+ AH take two pure 5 speed, no extra trait, horses, breed them and you'll get extra traits. Excluding corrupted there are 13 other traits which have the possibility of being introduced. Of those 13 traits, 8 are negative traits. That's 8/13 or 61.5% chance that the first newly introduced trait will be bad and 3 of those traits directly affect speed, that's a 23% chance that the first introduced trait will affect the speed negatively. Then of course there is the chance that RNG may lose you one of those speed traits anyway. Don't even try it with 8 trait horses that don't fully match, I gave up with that when breeding the new horse colours way back. Regularly getting 3 and 4 speed horses only contributed to my butchering skill. Now try breeding that pair of 5 speed horses with only 50 AH, you only have RNG to worry about as no extra trait is going to be introduced. You are regularly going to produce a foal that is better than that produced by the poor sap with 90+ AH. Bug or bad game mechanic? Having worked in software development for 30 years before becoming a publican I can't think of a single customer who would have been happy with such a "mechanic". As for my customers now! Let me see, I'll put your beer into a larger glass and there's a chance you'll get an extra trait to make it tastier, but there's a 61.5% chance that something's going to taste like crap as well. 🤣🤣

People are not (usually) trying to get 8 traits or whatever maximum. They're trying to get 5 speeds, the same 5 speeds as at 50 skill. But from the table in the OP, at 60-80 skill there is a lower chance to get 5 speeds than at 50 skill. I was joking with a friend that AH is "the" skill you don't want to skill up. Or I wasn't joking.

While yes, getting a 90qlitem is harder than 50, he's pointing out that at 90 skill it's harder to get a 50ql item you want than at 50 skill
