Manachan was working hard at the forge. It was late at night and the glow from the fire was the only light. Though the light was dim it was enough to let him know his work was progressing well. An idea came to him as he stared at the glowing metal. Perhaps there could be crafted a light so magical as to be able to peer through the darkness into the world of Wurm while he was not even there? Could it be possible? Manachan cast aside the glowing chain mail and hammer and set about crafting a magical light that would penetrate the darkness into the world of Wurm even in his absence! "I must create this" thought Manachan. "And I must share it with everyone!" Days later Manachan emerged from his workshop holding a rather unimpressive looking single candle. But the candle had powerful magical properties that belied its simple appearance. He secured the candle and lit it for the first time. The candle's light peered deep into the world of Wurm and showed Manachan many things. Manachan said "Now I will give this gift to everyone." Manachans Candle

We did a year ago with NFI. You don't like the game, sorry. Move on lmao

This is why I am deeply saddened no exposure or marketing was done for Epic when the steam rollout was deployed. For Christ's sake we have 1.5 second creation timers, 6 second imping timers, 4-5 second digging timers, and with a woa shovel it's a 1.5 second digging timer that's rounded down to 1 second. Yes 1 second.You literally can terraform at the speed of light compared to the old system. It's such a fast gameplay that it's a crying shame the steam folk didn't receive more awareness to the bonuses of Epic. Back to the breeding thing, genetics HAS to have a role, otherwise it's just a lootbox. There is too much randomness even now in breeding that the small breeders might just end up buying some horse stock from the larger breeders but that in itself kinda defeats the purpose of breeding your own horses, with your own work. It feels too much like a horse reset than anything.

Important note: Is it very likely the location will change before the actual date (it's a bad cave and a long time before then). Keep an eye on this thread for details!

Something annoying me every day is the way how the order of items in my inventory is messed up every time I log in. I have a certain order I prefer, and re-sort every time. Even when I made a mistake and choose one of the sort columns in inventory, the order is rearranged and won't go back. I would like a default order of inventory items one may choose and store, and retrieve by right click commands below "Expand all, Collapse all, Toggle imp column", e.g. "Save current item order, Restore item arrangement", maybe also a "/ command".

Thank you so much! I'm super excited about this ❤️

Animals don't run clients. Animals don't have input devices. Animals run very short and simple code and require very little data and bandwidth. Unusual claims require unusual evidence. What if anything do you have to back up this assertion?

If I go through the Manage menus (available at multiple places in the UI) then I can manage permissions for a building or a boat or an animal from anywhere on the server. If I right click on one of those items, and attempt to do the same thing, at a smaller distance, I get this: "You are too far away to do that." Proposal: this should be consistent. You should be able to manage permissions at any distance, regardless of which UI element or interaction led into the Manage interface.

I think it would be super rewarding to unlock a cape at 100 skill that gives you a buff to rare bonus in that skill or just a creative buff in general. Getting to 100 in this game is one of the most difficult grinds in existence. Thoughts?

For helmets that obscure the face, raise the visor automatically when a person is not in combat. Optionally, Add a setting in the profile: Visor is [up|down|auto], where the "auto" setting is as described above, and the others just leave the visor up or down. The position of the visor would have no effect on combat. It's purely a cosmetic / vanity thing, but it lets people show their faces, if they want to.

I like the idea of a reward-cape for 100 skill. I'd personally want it to come with a mouseover title of the 100 skill it was earned for, when unequipped, with a built-in display-stand graphic. When equipped, you can set its RGB value without using dye. If its your 2nd 100-cloak, it should have a visible rare shimmer when equipped, your 3rd, a supreme, your 4th, a fantastic. Obviously it should only be equippable by those with the appropriate skill requirements. Such accounts are, after all, Wurmian nobility, in a sense. 100 Faith-cloak - the easiest one to gain by Wurm mechanics - should have the ability to override equipped armour-value for spell difficulty, and a customisable armour-penalty value. That guarantees it'll be not only used when earned, but sought after. Others should unlock new recipes, unlock new resources, or in the case of crafting tools hitting 100, increase the chance of turning an item rare when improving with that tool.

I see what you did there. sounds like a new thing to build, at first, but really it’s a mechanism for destroying unwanted boats trojan horse, indeed.

Yes, well why not. It's no less sensible or productive than the suggestion itself. 😄. Just showing that no matter what bizarre rabbit hole the conversation goes down, there will not be a single backward step.

There is a reason horse semen is one of the most expensive fluids at 5 million $+ per gallon if it comes from a prize stud. It it would be complete random no one would pay so much. A high producing stud produces that amount in about 2 month of daily gathering during his 8 month breeding season (followed by 4 month of rest and "reloading").

Its that time of the year again for the 4th (3rd) (2nd) (1st) annual Friend-A-Long! This event is brought to you by Dragon Beard Markets, the Academy Network Alliance of Pristine, and random donors like you! This years Event will be held July 20th to the 25th. Some of you may be asking what is an Imp-along? Well basically is a community event where everyone gets together to imp and cast for each other for free! Its basically a week long party, packed with all sorts of fun, games, booze, food, death, death, death, and other random events, Anyone can come, anyone can help imp. Often people just come to grind there skill for free. You don't have to be able to get to maximum quality imp, just do what you can and someone else will finish up the work! The only real restrictions is on channeling skill to help prevent shattered items. Please if you want to contribute please make a post including the skills that your want to work with so we can get a generally idea of skill coverage. Be sure to include your characters names as well if you want to register for a room/bed. We have collected a massive amount of materials, cotton, body bags, and prizes. As I always say, If you didn't die at the imp-along you did it wrong! As usual the deed has had some upgrades in terms of storage and prize display this year. The ever generous Ladygodiva produced the mats and built the whole thing! Please keep and eye on this thread as I will be updating it regularly with details of events, changes, whatever.... *NEW* Discord: https://discord.gg/Q2E46JmHqC Read the rules, use the reaction role (W) to get the Wurm Online role. DROP and PICKUP is now enabled on deed, that means DO NOT leave your stuff unattended outside, use the secure storage in your rooms etc... When: July 20th - 25th. Event Ends: Where: Pristine, T16, Friendship Bay deed. Map: https://prnt.sc/jdif1w - In game Map location. Map: http://prntscr.com/svwrts - Terrain View. You can also plot to Dragon Beard from any highway, then just follow the highway a few hundred tiles to the deed Interested in using maxed out deed bonus? Just need a place to spawn since your forgot your tent again? Ask VirusMD to join the village! Everyone will be kicked at end of event, and this will not allow access to anything that you would not have as a deed guest, its simply to share bonuses and spawning. Staff Members Lists AKA "Wurm Lords": Imping Materials: All materials provided will be stocked in the resource carts/wagons next to each station, the general public will not have access to the bulk of materials, please try to NOT COMBINE tiny lumps like silver, gold, electrum, and the like for imping larger items like weapons and shields. Material usage will be much higher, and we will get many less imps out of the total stock of that material, less used is more imps for everyone! If you need a refill on something please ask in local or a "Wurm Lord" for refill. This year we will be providing some higher then 70q Materials during the last few days as sort of a reward for those people who stick around and the work flow slows down a bit more. Expect to see up to 90q Logs, Iron, and maybe leather available for further imps towards the end of the event. At this time we have about 1.1 Million Favor worth of cordage ready to go! Thanks as usual goes to@ChampagneDragonshe handled all the farming and production of the cordage for the event, favor production is her bread and butter so if you need chopped veggies, just want yours chopped, or want to buy some cordage, look no further then her! Genesis - NEW: Having a hard time with breeding since the changes? got lots of negative traits slowing you down? Bring them by during the event to get some free genesis casts and remove those dirty traits! Rune Attachments: Had a few volunteers with good soul depth who are willing to attach runes for us as well, so feel free to bring them along if needed and we can get them attached! Materials Levels and Needs: Prize Donations: If your interested in making a donation of any kind feel free to make a post, pm me in game or on the forum. You are welcome to donate materials we are already stocked on, as always anything we don't use this year will roll over to next year. Friendship Inn and Lounge: Need a place to sleep off a hard days work? Hide from a GM (good luck), or just get out of the way? The Friendship inn and Lounge, has a pleasant little relaxation area on the room with a variety of booze for you discerning wurmian hooligans. The inn is capable of bedding 80 characters in 70 secure rooms with storage options. If you need a secure room for your stay please make a post requesting a room, be sure to include your character(s) names in the post. There is also a large piece of land set aside for "Tent City" Just outside the inn on the sandy beach area next to the docking (parking) slips on the East end of the event location. Room Reservations: What we still need: A few more Non ebony, same aged same stat horses for the races. A dragon egg if one still exists? please? please? Ill pay! Drake hide bits for the grand prize!, paying 40c/0.01, every little piece helps! Some various materials listed on the chart above. Long term reputable players willing to help administer the event. Mainly resource deployment, and fueling needs. Random donations for prizes, could be nearly anything. Rare items, tools, gear, Kingdom flags, rare decorations, hota's, etc... you get the idea! Fish..... a bunch of of largest fishes and sharks, so people can choose there weapons.... A cook interested in providing the food required for such an event! Thank you @Eveningand @brattygirl Probably some other things im to insane to remember right now. How to get your items imped, casted or bloods mixed: So these events work because people enjoy helping each other out, but a very important catch to that is that they do not want to feel abused or taken advantage of! Thoe it may seem like things are hard to track, that would be a mistake to assume. The veteran impers and caster keep a close eye on who is dropping what and taking advantage of peoples generosity. Every event I end up taking peoples items for taking advantage of others (after a fair warning, if its not obvious abuse). The veterans who help out and imp/cast at these things will not hesitate to report suspected abuse if they think there being taken advantage of and I totally encourage this. As soon as they feel taken advantage of these things are dead! NAME YOUR ITEMS WITH YOUR COMPLETE CHARACTER NAME! Nothing else is needed, just make sure you move it to the correct locations as work progresses. ANY items that are not properly named will be secured and probably forfeit since identification is difficult. Creators tag will NOT be relied on. To be clear this means bring your existing gear, not create 1 of everything for every alt and bring it for free work, this will almost certainly result in the loss of your items and possible ban from future events. LIMITATIONS: A couple of weapons, suits of armor, a set or two of horse shoes, a couple of hammers, 1 of most other items... You get the idea, just keep it reasonable. Do not create your items on site, particularly with the higher q imping mats. The only times items should be created is to replace shattered ones. So be sure you bring everything! Blood Mixing: We have a large supply of source salt for potion making, so feel free to bring your bloods for mixing. Hopefully well get a couple high skill volunteers who can do them for us! Got a nice NS and Alchemy? drop me a line here or PM me if your willing to help out with mixes and imbues. Please keep the number of bloods your having mixed to 10 or less more might be mixable on the last day if there is still salt. This should be enough to get a single tool completely imbued. If you have extra source salt we can mix additional bloods with that. Auntie@Siderealhas promised to mix the bloods for us this year, so if she doesn't ill show you all where she lives and you can camp out on here lawn. Don't worry its not far from the event deed! Ship Parking and Imps: If your getting your ship improved PLEASE enable passenger for "Everyone" to help out the impers and prevent accidental drownings. Don't expect your ship to be imped without it. The WEST end of the deed is for people who would like there ships imped as well. Please move your ship once it has been imped help keep congestion down in the area for the Impers. The EAST end of the deed on the beach side near tent city is for general parking. Please do not park in the lane adjacent to the Arena on the east side, it is for prize ships. What is expected of you as a patron: Be polite and be respectful! Don't forget to put your characters NAME ON ALL YOUR ITEMS! Cant stress this enough. Anything not properly named is likely to be lost or stuffed in an overflow bin, and once moved with no name, there is basically no way to identify it as yours. Please try and remove your items promptly once imped/casted to avoid having your items secured in overflow. You do NOT need to label them with what cast/imp you want, just your name. Just make sure you place them in the correct container. Do NOT abuse people's generosity! Don't bring 10 or even 5 of the same item for imping/casting. The only real exception to this might be horse shoes. Anyone caught taking advantage will forfeit there items and be asked to leave. And the veteran impers do know what to look for, i removed almost 100 items last year due to abuse, and it was veterans who tipped me off. Do NOT sell items that were done for you at the impalong. Its about helping people out, not taking advantage of someone else's work to put coin in your pocket. If caught you will be banned from future events. Getting items casted is at your own risk! Thoe the priest will be required to have at least 70 channeling and demonstrate so with there 70+ title. Shatters can and will happen at an event like this. Item quality plays a big in this so if your going to get something casted, consider imping it first. If an item is shattered, and its reproducible on site, feel free to ask someone with skill to re craft it for you. You should not need to pick any items up that are not your (nor will you be able to inside a building) If your items are moved to overflow please contact a "Wurm Lord" Items are only returned to the character named on it! Also feel free to help imp items even if you don't have that skill to 70. The only real restriction is channeling. Everyone is welcome to help out! Consider this an opportunity to grind your skills and no expense to you other then time. Mats and favor are provided so go crazy imp or cast all the things! When you complete and imp or cast please call it out in local to the owner something like "/me VirusMD your pickaxe imp is done!" This should help keep things flowing particularly for items waiting to receive multiple casts. Please check on your items frequently when possible to avoid having them moved into overflow storage. What is expected as an Imper or Caster at the Friend-A-Long: Please do NOT improve items that are not correctly labeled! Instead report them to an admin to be secured. This is considered abuse since we cannot tell whos item is being imped. All of the above + PLEASE name your lumps/materials if you have to put them back in the forge etc 70+ in your imping skills of choice is recommended but feel free to chip in with whatever skills you have for imping. The final 2 days or so there will be higher q mats available for higher q imps, assuming the workflow is going smoothly. 70+ Channeling skill is required to be permitted to cast on other people's items. You should be sure to wear your 70+ channeling title. The Deed: The imping hall itself it a 5 floor (3 double floors) pottery building with slate/marble decor. Broken into 3 floors dedicated to various tasks. The First floor is the casting/sermon area, I've broken all the spells into 4 main groups, based on the spell/priests that cast it. each group has at least 2-4 dedicated altars PER priest for that category. So no worries about tripping over each other at the altar! All organized into corners, In the center of it all is another ring of altars, surrounding a rare altar for the sermon goers, and the building is designed in such a way, that everyone above you should be counted as listeners for HUGE faith ticks! In the corners you will find some relaxing area's to afk/get out of the way in along with stairwells to the other floors. The second floor is for Non smithing related imps, broken into 4 main area's depending on the skill used. The 3rd is the forge area, equppied with 24x forges broken into sections for organization. Drop AND Take are enabled on deed outside of buildings again this year for the purposes of butchering and looting during arena events. Please keep this in mind and do not leave your possessions outside un-attended, if you move more then a few tiles away your items could be taken by anyone. Treat is as in the wild! If Trash becomes a problem I may reconsider this policy and disallow looting. Trash should be burned in a forge or sacrificed in an altar, or placed in one of the trash heaps around deed. If your a visitor of the server and want to take advantage of a maxed out enchanting and rarity window bonus you can join the village, this is also a good option of you forgot to bring a tent! If you would like to join just PM VirusMD to get an invite. Secured/Overflow Item Recovery: If one of your items has been moved to overflow please ask a "Wurm Lord" to retrieve it for you. Be sure to tell the the precise name of the shelf its on so they can find it quickly! For example "Casting Overflow SW3" will tell them what floor, what corner and what shelf your item is on. To avoid having your items secured try and make sure your checking on them and moving them as needed so that other peoples work can be processed. Be patient if you need something returned, everyone is a volunteer, and there may not always be someone around to retrieve your item. Any items left over anywhere that are properly named will be mailed back to there owner shortly after the close of the event. Sermons: Sermons are volunteer led, if you wish to participate in the sermon group please ask for a sermon team invite in local, and get further information for slotting inside that channel.

It might help to think of a macro as a short(ish) recording of keystrokes which is then played when activated. So, it might activate the inventory tab, move down to the third item and activate it then do something with it. If the inventory is randomly re-resorted all the time, that macro won't work because whatever was third item down when you recorded it will be somewhere else in the list.

Posted 1 hour ago @Aldurair - Grats on your new White Tome Of Epicness !

I think it would be interesting to have different capes for the skills, perhaps each with a different design based on the skill. Would also potentially open up some possibilities for a community design contest for each skill cape. Base color white, can be dyed.

+1 I like the idea of a raisable visor. It would be nice to see more faces and less bucket heads.

Well, it can be both. 😎

Congrats Holar!! 🎉 i'll send it over now, sorry im late. Sold pls close

pff, we do not play real world, we play a game We live in the real world, here we play for some other kind of entertainment, if we wanted to breed horses irl or do 'real' things, there's plenty of other places and ways, this is online game, and too much realism only hurts it or the experience of the player playing it. As to new/old players... new players still eat dirt and can't figure what the hell all 4 corners on a tile mean and how they relate to next tiles... leave them figure the game; others... once you get higher skill and you were once promised to get reasonable results.. and suddenly even after you spend a lot of time you get complete nonsense that just seems like a lottery ticket system or spinning wheel with prizes .. or a lootbox mechanic.. you feel cheated.. you didn't buy in on that, and you were promised to get better results with skill.. not to maybe get 1 good horse every few months. If that doesn't make sense to you.. try to pay a subscription, try to grind some skill, try to get a good lootbox horse and when you get annoyed from the results.. join the talk, but play to earn any respect for your opinions.

Oil based paints! *hides countless barrels of oil he has stockpiled*

<sigh> I at least can recognize that your point of view exists. It seems I cannot expect the same in return. Most of your post is insulting and insinuating that I am in some fashion misrepresenting my approach to and experience of Wurm. I am a citizen of Harvestmoon, go ask anyone in the alliance about TheTrickster - oh, you don't play so you can't. Well, if you won't take my word for it at least have the candour to openly say you you think I am lying and then we can deal with that. No, it isn't my imagination. Go look at those threads I mentioned. Read about impalongs, or public unique kills. I know plenty of advanced players with some weak skills - so I know you to be objectively wrong there. What do I have besides increased skills and items relating to increasing skills? Er, my whole experience of Wurm. Friends and neighbours who can visit no matter what the lockdown, a funky green house by the water with a great view, a matched team of two with pretty saddles and tack, gorgeous tools I could never hope to own in real life, a handful of nice boats, exploration and adventure, discovering wonderful vistas, the satisfaction of giving away stuff to people who can use it. Oh, and cool floppy hat. I do not play Wurm to compete with anyone. See my previous point. I would say your opinion on why people build stone walls is wide of the mark. I built stone walls to keep my horses from wandering when I was trying my hand at breeding them. Again, go look at those threads. I tried to engage. I tried to appreciate where you are coming from and explain where I am coming from. The response is a simple repetition of other comments you have made and seems to lack any real reflection on what I wrote at all. I think you have fundamentally failed to grasp the concept of a sandbox game and from that failure stems your dissatisfaction and these maladroit suggestions. I think you have also failed to grasp that people other than you can have valid points of view other than yours. Either that or these are some kind of elaborate trolling. If you want anyone to take your suggestions as anything other than a nuisance, then you need to actually engage rather than rebuff and insult.

+1 Absolutely!

yeah, +1 to all that

We know that mechanics wise there's no reason not to do this. If walls and bridges can be any stone, I believe that the various furnaces can be too. (also statues pls)

slate-well with fountain's amount of water for late game?.. stone well can remain as legacy new player well or get expanded to bigger water supply like fountains to level the ground for all and be just visual difference..

Yep. I don't know if it is historical, but there are still plenty of generic stone and wood objects that could do with a bit of a zhoozhing.

I don't want the game to go the path of so many others in the past. I don't want to see the community slowly fizzle out and Wurm Online end up abandoned. This game has been around for so long and I want to see it continue since it's been so enjoyable for me in the past 5 years since I started playing. Others have played for a decade or more. There's so many lessons capable of being learned from other successful games out there with successful business models. I'd like to see Wurm Online adapt to the current gaming market, and others here are suggesting the same. At the end of the day, a forum is for discussion about topics. A topic was presented, and people are discussing it. I don't agree with everything others have said, but I'm not so vain as to call them self-serving because of their interpretation of the data. If you'd like to disagree with their interpretation, I think you should use counterpoints to the data or logic against their statements. You shouldn't attack the person who's presenting their viewpoint.

Or give us cart/Wagon- speed enhancing gear for use with that trait. That would be my preferred fix.

I support small anvil use from the ground!

WOW! Thank-you for reviving this! Massive approval for ALL opening-post suggestions. It's always bugged me that the large anvil is a container, and the small anvil is not, yet it can contain nothing. It FEELS like it should have a functional smithing-block slot (nail-header, wire drawplate etc.). I suspect it's just a side-effect of it being used on the ground, (and being old-code, because the spinning wheel isn't a container, but spinning wheels have only been around for the last 7 years) but it has bugged me from week 1 of playing this game. Can't I at least stack the small and large anvils together, if the small anvil is acting as an all-in-one smithing-block? ('Place' didn't exist back then.)

overdue for a bump

+1 A very good new purpose for a currently underused item

Made the bench a little more comfy

I've been wurming for years but I never realized that you can see the meteors rain down during the Ritual of the Sun. This is so wonderful.

If you as a new player do not want to spend your one-time teleport to our village, I can pick you up from any starting town or wherever you are on the server : )) Just PM me in-game : /tell Bermz

Are you still recruiting?

First time visiting your deed and this a fantastic place, makes me sad i live on a mountain side haha, i have to ask if i may, what is the dimensions of your deed and upkeep, it has to be insane
