    The Hunters Guide of Proper Unique Creature Hunting Etiquette

     

    To maintain proper etiquette when encountering a creature of unique stature, one must always heed to sportsmanlike conduct as written below.

     

    When you discover a unique creature, you have two courses of action available to you.

     

    The first course of action is to attempt to contain the creature so that it will go un-bothered until such time as you have fattened it up for slaughter. This is by no means the best option as any unique creature can escape any confinement you build at any time of its own choosing.

    Under no circumstances should a contained unique on or under a deed be 'lured' out by any means outside of the intentions of the hunting party with claim. This will be classed as griefing and will net the offender/s a ban.

     

    The second course of action, and most sportsmanlike to boot, is to gather your friends, family, coworkers, and any spare un-dead you may have lying around collecting dust, and have a splendifirous slaying party as soon as possible. Children always have lots of fun playing games like 'fingers and horns', 'tooth tail toe', 'foot toss', 'tug of entrails', ' and of course playing the old classic scene from the famous 'Swamp Wars' play and pretend to be Duke Skyrunner battling Barth Tater with bloody severed arm sabers. The adults meanwhile can butcher the rare and unique creature and create wonderful stews and other fine meals from the leftovers of the creature to eat as they haggle over the dispensation of the more valued body parts of each slain creature.

     

    There is of course a third action available to you, though I am loath to mention it, but you could, in theory, turn, run away, and pretend you never saw it.

     

    With multiple hunting parties hunting down these poor misunderstood unique creatures, recently, it has become such a war for the blood and other various body parts of each unique creature that many of the people hunting them are no longer having fun at this time honored blood sport. This is where proper etiquette must be applied for all to enjoy their kill and wear it too.  So, with that in mind, let's lay down some etiquette for this wonderful tradition.


     

    First come first serve!

    What does it mean to be the first? I am so glad you asked.

     

    Normally, first person on scene is the one to claim the unique, but arguments do arise and we need something more solid to go on at this stage. So let us start a more tangible system by which if an argument were to arise, an arbitrator can be sent out to scout the situation, and determine decisively who is first.

     

    Step 1. Commit one of these actions within range of the unique.

                  Mine a tunnel

                  Build a colossus

                  Dig a dirt, heap of sand, clay, tar, lava

                  Plant a sign

                  Cut a tree down

                  Build a bridge

                  Surface mine a shard

    Step 2. Remember where you committed the action! If the arbitrator cannot find proof of work, then your claim will be denied.

     

    Keep in mind, the above is only necessary if there is a dispute, which will likely only happen during the first few hours of discovery, but for your own sake, commit one of the above actions should you encounter a unique creature and wish to claim it for your own group to eviscerate.

     

    Containment Protocols!

    If you have chosen to lay claim to a unique, what do you do with it?

    Kill it of course, you silly dunderhead!

     

    Since most of you will not be able to take on a unique creature by your lonesome, you should gather up a slaughter party and throw a big bash for the unique creature as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it can take time to gather a large enough group of blood ravers to attend so you may decide to confine the unique creature in a 'pen'. This of course is not really intended, and unique creatures can escape on their own volition, so if you try to confine one of these poor Wurmland denizens, do not come calling to us when it escapes to get to the greener grass on the other side.

     

    Should the unique decide to escape your attempts at confining it, it is again wild and can potentially be claimed by another, as long as they follow the above steps, if your party is not actively present to maintain your original claim.

     

    Under no circumstances should a contained unique on or under a deed be 'lured' out by any means outside of the intentions of the hunting party with claim. This will be classed as griefing and will net the offender/s a ban.

     

    Attempting to merely 'pen' a unique creature without a deed such as, using a sealed mine or a fence may work as a temporary option, but once you leave the area, any claim to it becomes invalid!

     

    The slaying!

    This is by far the most fun part of the event. Unfortunately, some have tried to sully the experience and so we provide you with some basic common courtesies that all should respect.

     

    Courtesy #1 – If you are not with the slayer party that has claim to the unique creature, then leave the area!

    Courtesy #2 – Do not bring alts into the loot drop range.

    Courtesy #3 – Do not steal the corpse, body parts, or loot drops from the claimant party.

    Courtesy #4 – Under no circumstances should a contained unique on or under a deed be 'lured' out by any means outside of the intentions of the hunting party with claim. This will be classed as griefing and will net the offender/s a ban.

     

    Going against these courtesies of etiquette will be considered an act of griefing and will net the offender/s a ban.

     

    Community slayings!

    There are times in which hunting parties will organize a public slaying of a unique creature to share the spoils.  These are come one, come all events.  No one will be turned away from these, but a certain decorum of etiquette must be observed.

     

    Courtesy #1 – Do not steal the corpse, body parts, or loot drops from the organizers of the community slaying party.

    Courtesy #2 – Under no circumstances should a contained unique on or under a deed be 'lured' out by any means outside of the intentions of the organizing party with claim. This will be classed as griefing and will net the offender/s a ban.

     

     

    This guide will be updated and adjusted to counter loopholes as more scenarios are considered in order to keep these activities in line with the spirit of the game.

    There's No Place Like Stronghold!

     

     

     

    The Stronghold will open soon!  This is a reminder to all Jackal participants!  Be on Jackal when the Stronghold closes or you will receive no points.

    You can be offline, just be sure that your avatar is on the server or you will not get credit for your participation in the Stronghold event!

    Again, you MUST be on Jackal when the Stronghold is closed or you will miss out on the points.

     

    As I said before.... oh... just be sure that you are on the Jackal server for the closing.

     

    Thank You,

    Ol'buddy'o'Paypal'o'mine

     

     

     

    At the moment there is a slight change with the Paypal system causing some shop purchases to not go through instantly.  The issue is minor but causes the Paypal system to sometimes fail to instantly confirm purchase.  This issue will be remedied pretty quickly with a planned hotfix.  This issue does not affect our other payment processors.  Until then, if you are one of the few who have made a Paypal purchase via the Wurm Online Shop and it does not appear on your avatar within a few hours, please send an email to payment@wurmonline.com with a quick description including the avatar name the shop purchase was for, the Paypal transaction ID, and the item purchased from the shop.  We will get these few instances manually confirmed and taken care of very quickly, usually within a work day.

     

    Thank You,

    Today the randomizer dropped me on Release.

     

    Mikehunt responded immediately upon my appearance and had to face 4 Random challenges.

     

    #1  How many solar bodies can be viewed from the Jackal sky?

    Mikehunt guessed 3!  WRONG!

    So much for that hot air balloon sewn from No-Gump skins...  into the void with it!

     

    #2  How many planks are needed to build a guard tower?

    Wow...  he even got that one wrong...  alright then...  He can kiss the supreme hammer of ship building goodbye.  According to its inscription, it could build a cog in the time it takes to build a raft.  With the same materials as a raft!

     

    #3 How many walls must you build if you are building a 2x3 tile structure 2 stories tall?

    Wrong yet again!  While this is actually a bit of a trick question with multiple answers....  you must always build at least 1 door.

    And into the void with the Arrows of Grand Hunting....  yeah, they were just hunting arrows, but they were really good hunting arrows!  I mean like top quality one hit kill arrows!

     

    #4  Gojira's Cousins!

    Round 1 - Kamacuras! x8  (not even a scratch)

    1/0

    Round 2 - Dorats! x12 (well...  at least it was a scratch)

    2/0

    Round 3 - Kumonga! x8 (now we're talking... spill that blood!)

    3/0

    Round 4 - Hedora! x3 (well... that was just...  disappointing....  lazy, useless, good for nothing sludge eating slugs.. EAT SALT AND DIE!)

    4/0

    Round 5 - Gabara! x1 (Muahahaha!  The nightmare monster!)  (Oh yeah!  Now that's what I am talking about!)  Mikehunt was evenly matched against this beast and was losing body parts left and right, but after his alt entered the fray and provided Mikehunt with several transfusions of sheep blood, he bested the bully and came out victorious.)

    "<Mikehunt> aw i never equipt my shiled lol"

     

    For his winnings....  well whats left of them..  40 marble bricks, a supreme pizza, a rare crate rack, some felled cedar trees, some peanut butter cookies, and a toothpick.

    Raid Ban - 10/31/2019

    ENDED - 11/02/2019

     

     

     

    Today's rollback due to certain undesirable things happening, has caused mine doors placed during the time between the update and the rollback to play a trick on their owners.

    Now they just sit there and laugh as the very people who very kindly and gently placed them onto their holes in the ground, try to pass through them and end up smashing face first into them.

     

    I get it, I get it... It's Halloween... why should the pumpkins get to have all the fun!  Unfortunately, the mine doors forgot one thing... who their owners were..., and Since they do not trust a smiling face as proof of passage they let no one pass beyond.

     

    So...  All PvP servers are now under a RAID BAN for about the next 24 hours to let the owners report their holiday prankster doors to the GM's for replacement.  For everyone not on the PVP servers, if you placed your mine doors during this update and rollback window, you are affected to.  Just send us a support ticket and we will help you out as soon as possible.

     

    Thank You,

    Wurm Online Team.

     

    Update: This ban is now over as any who cared to report their deed lockouts have been given ample time to do so.  We will still assist with messed up mine doors, but PVP deeds have had enough time to report theirs if it was urgent.

    This months Random Enkounter is brought to you by the Nefarious Witch of the North, who happens to be far less wicked than that other witch of the west.  But still mean!  Oh I tell you she is a mean one!

     

    Today the randomizer chose to drop me at Havens Landing on Independence....  oh this should be good...

     

    Among the people there, Marcas was the first to respond to my famous "Greetings!" speech.

     

    Participants = Lluther, Marcas, Mushak, Superfint, Yuyukosaigyouji, Zaka

     

    They had to endure 7 random challenges!

     

    Challenge #1  - Where is Jackal?

    [15:43:15] <Enki> Okay... Challenge #1
    [15:43:48] <Enki> Where is Jackal?
    [15:44:20] <Marcas> Thats another server
    [15:44:26] <Zaka> In space
    [15:44:28] <Yuyukosaigyouji> Jackal is a planet in the wurm sky. Unless you mean Rift Jackals, which are at rift sites
    [15:44:48] <Superfint> In the portal
    [15:44:57] <Enki> All are correct answers.... well  except for thatp lanet part....
    [15:46:09] <Yuyukosaigyouji> Oh yeah, it's glassed as a moon really isn't it?

      

    They all came up with good answers....  but Jackal is not a planet!

    They each received 4 scones!  Except for Yuyukosaigyouji who received only 3 for that planet bit...

     

    Challenge #2 - Name a famous arachnid?

    Isolde wins and is the only one who came up with a famous Arachnid with the answer of Thekla!

     

    Challenge #3 - The Nefarious witch of the North sends her greetings!  Defend yourselves from the wrath of the Nefarious Chipmunks!

    Okay okay, so the spirit templars protected them quite effectively...  still was fun..

     

    Challenge #4 - Retrieve a rock shard iron ore within 2 minutes! (that's what happens when you have an Enkounter at a start deed)

    4 of them brought back some iron anyway....  they received an axe!

     

    Challenge #5 - The Nefarious Witch of the North sends a new message..  delivered by 15 Nefarious munchkins!

    They all ran for their lives!  which proved to be a good strategy as they survived long enough for the templars to wipe out all the green monsters.  Well, they mostly survived...  might could use a few pints of blood...

    Survivors received a trowel

     

    Challenge #6 - What day is this?

    Some answered with Wednesday, and some answered even more correctly with Luck Day, and one answered extremely correctly with the Eve of All Hallows' Eve

     

    Challenge #7 - They must face the Nefarious Witch of the North herself!  Mathilda has arisen!

    That was one big pumpkin!  But they survived and minced her up into pies. 

     

    For their winnings, they received a random tool or weapon or statue.

     

    They were fortunate to be on Haven's Landing...  Chances are not so good for next Halloween!!!!! Muahahahaha

    Jackal Rollover Points

     

     

     

    Not too long back there was a short window of opportunity during an update where people would cross over from Jackal to freedom and back and have their Jackal points and skills increased with each transfer.

    Fortunately, there was very little in the way of abuse during this matter and we collected the server records in order to correct this.  As of today we now have the means to correct the unintended jackal point gains and skill gains incurred by those that transferred during this window and are in the process of finally doing so.

    Woohoo!   I did it!  I did it!

     

    After 15 years I finally succeeded!

     

    I can't believe it!  I finally did it!

     

    [19:45:49] YOU ARE HIT BY LIGHTNING! OUCH!

    [19:45:49] A strange dizziness runs through your head, eventually sharpening your senses.

     

    I have new super powers now!  or at least a mot more Mind Speed!

     

    There I was minding my own business moving boats and swimming out to my boat in my shiny new steel plate armor when I got distracted, overshot my boat and started drowning.  While awaiting the village to decide who or if a rescue party would be dispatched, by a sheer twist of fate... BAM...  I am struck down by mana from above.   Still clinging to life in the Jackal sea a rescue party from HQ Bravo was dispatched (Tria) and I was once again snatched from the icy grip of death!

     

    Take that IRL!  All I got for my troubles when I got hit IRL was an insane need to drink mass amounts of water and memory loss!

    Take my word for it,  getting hit in game is much more rewarding!

    Today the randomizer threw me across the oceans to Serenity on the Epic side of the world where I landed in the local of a priestly sort of person, doing priestly sorts of things, in a priestly sort of manner....

     

    Sadly, they never took notice of me in local....

     

    Their loss was a rare bag of spirit eagle omelets.  A rare bag of lemons, potatoes, and wires.   A large bag of feathers and cotton sheets.  A supreme steel spear imbued with 'Two Hit Wonder'  sigh.. I was really looking forward to seeing them tackle an ogre one on one with this.  And of course, whatevery person needs, a Supreme Fireplace!

     

    Oh well... till next month...

    Loding and Unloding Zones

     

     

     

    Do not use Epic portals from jackal to return to Epic home servers or Elevation! (You never know where you will end up.  Or what!)

    Do not try to travel to Elevation from the Epic home servers with anything in your inventory! (Kiss those shiny items bye bye if you do!)

    Do not travel to Elevation from any home server using any means other than the Epic portals! (Lodestones are not for travel to Elevation!)

    I wanted to add the Fundraiser link here in this thread that Kraegar was kind enough to provide, but unfortunately, no good deed goes unpunished...

     

    Due to the large amount of problems allowing personal fund links of any kind causes us, I have decided not to allow the link.

     

    So for now, If you can donate, please contact Kraegar by PM to receive the correct link to Eir's funeral fundraiser.

     

    Thank you,

    May you finally not have any more pain and ailments that troubled you for so long Eir!

     

    Eir was one of the two main GM's that taught me how to GM here in Wurm.  Eir is a big and historical name here.  I kept up with her situation regularly and kept in contact with her.  When we learned what was happening, Shrimpiie was able to go visit her and give her well wishes from us just a couple days ago.

     

    This is very sad news.  Thank you for informing us here Dizbot.

  15. Posted

    Well....  I asked him to prove it and .... one thing lead to another and sure enough.....

    To paraphrase a vaguely wise robed figure "these are not the moonmetals you are looking for"

     

    According to multiple looks into account histories and chats and some recent discussions with a couple of the people in the know, these moonmetals are not related to the ones stolen via the infamous exploit.

    These moon metals come from a mix of kingdom hordes.

     

    So buy em if you want em!  though they may be slightly radioactive now that I look at them up close in my hands....

     

     

    As I kinda messed this person's activity up I have asked that this thread be kept clean and on topic so that the other issue does not interfere!

    Today the randomizer sent me to Celebration and landed me in Killergreen's local.

     

    After a quick explanation that I was there to play Random Enkounters and not hunt him down and kill him... well at least not directly.....  Killergreen was ready to play and had to face 3 very random challenges of very random difficulty.

     

    Challenge #1  Build for me a stone statue of a troll within 10 minutes!

    ..........................40 seconds later a stone statue of a troll was at my feet....... curses!

     

    Challenge #2 What is the newest moon to inhabit the skies of the lands of Wurm?

    Well, Killergreen got that one right too.  Haven is the newest moon in the skies.

     

    Challenge #3  Fend off the Field Mouse King and his Rodentia army!

     

    Wave #1  kill the 7 Ratkin Knights

    Killergreen could not keep enough of his own blood inside to win in one shot.  With self sacrifice as his strategy he did eventually defeat them!

     

    Wave #2  the horde of Ratkin Beasts

    These colorful and obnoxious creatures tried their best to claw crow Killergreen to death, but in the end, their screams of 5:30 in the mornings did not deter Killergreen's ambition to see them all lightly seasoned in garlic butter and baked!

     

    Wave #3  The Field Mouse King!

    With his armies defeated the King of the Field Mice entered the battlefield and ....promptly died....

    Well, he was only the king of hunting and exterminating field mice... 

     

    Bonus Round!

    What anniversary are we celebrating this month?

    Killergreen only go it half right...  Yes it is a 10 year anniversary,  but he did not know of what!

     

    Bonus Round v.2

    What prize can you get for participating in the Independence 10th year anniversary?

    This one he got right.  A statuette of Dragon Fang mountain.  Not only that but it comes in Rare, Supreme, and Fantastic!  All you have to do is complete the mission to get a fantastic!

     

    Killergreen has won 12 copper ore! a supreme cheesecake!  a scythe! and some puddings.  He also receives a supreme rope, a hog roast, and a large crate, for making a Field Mouse trap.  and, he gets a rare spirit cottage and 2 marble planters to decorate his knew church with!

     

    For failing the first bonus round, I am throwing back in to the void the Sceptre of the Floating Isles which according to legends lets the user teleport to a hidden realm of lands in the clouds full of riches including fancy golden egg laying geese.,

    Wagoners Strike of 1084

     

     

     

    The wagoners are staging a strike at this time over the 'unsafe exit conditions in tunnels'.   They feel their horses should be issued wide brim hats to protect their eyes when exiting dark tunnels to stop the horses from being spooked by the bright light. and having 'unpleasant gaseous expenditures'.

     

    Until the situation with the wagoners union is resolved, wagoners who try to travel through tunnels end up abandoning their duties and leaving their cargo at the end of the tunnels due to the overwhelming smells being emitted by their spooked horses.

    https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/170672-wagoner-bug-after-27-june-update/

     

    "neither the wind, nor hail, nor, sleet, nor snow, shall deter a wagoner's duty, but a set of farting horses is a serious natural disaster!"

    Spirited Away

     

     

     

    You should not be able to cast Phantasm on guards on any server and make them kill bred, cared for, or friendly creatures on deeds.  The guards should not have been targeting these creatures on deed.

    A fix is prepared, but until then, DO NOT CAST Phantasms on guards!

    You have been warned!

     

    Thank You,

    Today the Randomizer dropped me off in the mountainous regions of Celebration where I found Kraegar and Mobius!

     

    They had to Enkounter 6 random challenges.

     

    #1 - While battling 4 green bears...  Can you tell me the name of the parent company that produces Wurm Online?

    They had until the 4 greenish bears were dead to answer correctly.  Mobius guessed first and was close, but it was Kraegar that got it right.

    Kraegar got a cheese!

     

    #2 -  While fending off 8 very brash land rodents, Can you tell me how many moons inhabit the skies of Wurm?

    They both guessed correctly, and after letting them wash the rat blood off of their hands I rewarded them with cake.

     

    #3 -  If Angie's mother had 4 kids and the oldest kid was named June, The next was named May, and the next was named April, What was the fourth kid named?

    <Mobius> march / <Kraegar> July

    TOTAL FAILURE!!!!

     

    #4 - How many crab legs are there in a family of 6 crabs

    Kraegar guessed correctly with 48.

    Kraegar received a Crude Axe

     

    #5 - While battling 2 Worgs, What is the current Wurm Year?

    Mobius got it correct in one guess with 1083!

    Mobius received a mountain lion statue

     

    #6 - Survive the 4 waves of the Hawgwartz Freshmen Wizards familiars!

    They had to fight off the waves and survive.  Death means Failure!

     

    Wave 1 - 12 Magic Belts of Constriction!

    The self tightening belts were giving them a good challenge and I was not all too certain they would come out alive!

    Kraegar seemed to be holding out quite well while Mobius seemed to be using his own entrails as bait....., not the plan I would have used, but it did work!

     

    Wave 2 - 10 Grasping Grindylow!

    The wave of Grindylow used Mobius' fields as cover and seemed to be pretending to be large brownish squash, but their camouflage was pointless as was their attack strength.

    (note to self - ask devs for smarter octopi!)

     

    Wave 3 - 3 Land Kelpie!

    (note to self  - Uttacha are nothing more than balloons to pop!)

    They were no match against their pointy sticks!

     

    Wave 4 - 8 Angry Forest Trolls!

    These ladies were not happy at all.   Something about having to constantly clean up the bloody messes after humans hunting in their backyards?

    The group of lady Trolls split up their attacks between Kraegar and Mobius, forcing Mobius to retreat to the waters of the lake for some self healing.

    Kraegar tried to reason with the ladies, but I don;t think they appreciated his tone of voice, or maybe it was the way he kept ending his sentences with an axe chop.

    Mobius meanwhile, continued ot use strategy to get his point across to them... well through them really.

     

    With some time, both Kraegar and Mobius defeated the ladies for a final victory against the Hawgwartz familiars.

     

     

    For their Random winnings, aside from some cake, cheese, and pastries,

    Heavy fishing line and Horse shoes, for some horseshoe tossing games, a supreme maul, a rare rudder, a dioptra, and some marble shards!

     

    I can't even bring myself to name the nameless wonder they lost to the void for failing Challenge #3. It was truly a sight to behold though!

    Time for another Random Enkounter!

     

    This time the Randomizer landed me near Thiagoxbo on Deliverance.

    He noticed me right away and would have to endure 4 random challenges.

     

    #1  What is the name of the new Start/Tutorial deed for new Wurm Online players?

    With a two minute time limit, he failed to get it correct!

     

    #2  Bring to me a small barrel within 2 minutes!

    Maybe a bit too easy....

     

    #3 Name any one of the deities of Wurm Online!

    Thiagox got it correct nearly instantly with Vynora.

     

    #4

    The Gnomelord Geppetolemew seeks revenge for your trespasses across their grand fields of Gnome Berry trees. He has sent his fourth great grand nephew on his mother's dog groomer's sister's side of the family.  He has been conniving and scheming for months as he raised up a gnomish army to vanquish you!


    Who will win?  The innocent but thieving Gnomes whom you have trespassed against?

    Or Thiagoxbo, the brute who keeps stepping on their grand orchards, depriving them of much needed alcoholic bliss!

     

    Thiagoxbo must face 3 waves of the army that the great grand nephew of the Grand Gnomelord Geppeolemew has raised to fight him!

    Wave 1 - The Gnomoos attack!

    The 10 Gnomoos were valiant if ill equipped with their brown and white war paint and short sharp horns of goring.  Thiagoxbo quickly ended their milk making days as their pasturized war cries carried through the fields.

    Wave 2 -  The Gnophers of gnawing!

    15 Gnophers began their assault on Thiagoxbo's legs in a commanding attempt to gnaw him down to size.  Thiagoxbo's clothing was not much help against the razor sharp teeth of the Gnophers, but his supply of bandages held out!

    Wave 3 - Archgnomortys!

    3 Arachgnomified Morty's have arrived on the field of battle.    Can Thiagoxbo send them back to whence they came?  probably not... but killing them should be much more entertaining!  Each eight legged Morty dealt plenty of good strikes on Thiagoxbo, but he had a good head on his shoulders and knew when to retreat to heal, and when to draw the Mortys out to the end of his sword.

     

    With Arachnomorty blood spilled all over the place Thiagoxbo held out and won the day.

     

    With the army defeated, Elmer the great grand nephew of the Gnomelord Geppetolemew's dog groomer's sister, came out to battle to the death.  Unfortunately, a loin cloth is not sufficient armor against a long sword.  A short , simple death awaited Elmer.

     

    Now the Gnomes of the Deliverance isle will have to do without their much needed nose warming brandies.

     

    Thiagoxbo received for his efforts,

    Cake and Pizza!

    A rare cheese drill that the Gnomoos brought with them

    A supreme fishing net!

    3 jars of honey, maple syrup, and vodka.  Very useful for cooking Arachgnomorty legs.

    A pair of steel boots, because he really needed some ankle support!

    A mountain lion rug to cover up those blood stains on the floor.

    And most importantly 16 mallet heads!  Yes, you heard me  16 mallet heads!  Always know where your precious mallet heads are!

     

    Now for the bad news....  There was a strange dimensional portal gun laying on the field of battle after the three Mortys were dismembered, but since Thiagoxbo failed the first challenge, I chucked it into the void.  At least he will never have to get hooked on inter-dimensional cable TV.
