Another word: balance. Dragons are extremely rare and difficult to kill. Using magic demands sacrifice (priest limitations, tome penalties) and/or huge costs (effort to gain channeling skill, faith; favour; tomes). So I guess my main concern would be that underground farming not become the new meta. With decent mining, it's actually much easier in most locations to create a vast perfectly flat area underground than it is to level the same-sized area above ground (what with pesky hills, rock layers, etc. getting in the way). If things were balanced to offset this advantage, say, by halving underground farm yields and/or doubling growth time or whatnot (exact figures up for debate), then hmm... I wouldn't object quite as much, especially as lower yields / increased growth times would be a reasonable gesture in the direction of realism. Still can't say I'm a fan of the idea, though.

+1 above ground I could see these opening up new deed design possibilities if they are free from the slope restrictions of normal farming (and they should be, within reasonable limits). Even if they are restricted to flat or almost flat terrain, more design options are always welcome. -1 below ground One word: photosynthesis. I could see a case being made for mushroom farming underground, but growing ordinary crops should only be possible above ground outdoors.

While I sympathize for your loss, Gumbo, I'd bet my left arm that compensation ain't gonna happen. It would open the floodgates for claims by anyone who has ever lost any business due to a change in the mechanics — i.e. pretty much anyone who has ever dabbled in Wurm's economy for any length of time. We've all had to roll with the punches and adapt, as any good businessperson does. Stay agile and don't put all your eggs in one basket, as in RL so too in Wurm.

Ah, I didn't pick up on the fact that your suggestion is for followers only, not priests, which is what I get after re-reading it. So you're suggesting the 20-minute cooldown and 5 prayer tick limit come back into effect after obtaining priesthood? Seems a bit odd to have two separate systems for followers and priests. In either case, I don't really see grinding faith to 30 as a problem (what does it take, a couple weeks?) and it would take me personally even longer to get there if I had to spread my gameplay over four hours a day (not always manageable) to get the same faith gains I can currently get in roughly 1h20min. If anything, as Kochinac has hinted at, it's late-stage faith gains for priests that are in need of tweaking. Sermons, although probably intended to incentivize sociable gameplay, are seriously unfun tedium in my experience. There ought to be a complementary, perhaps slower and more resource-intensive way to solo a priest to 100 faith – but it should be faster, more interesting, and more challenging than just praying.

Well, this change would actually produce the opposite of the intended effect in the case of many, if not most, players. If your play sessions are only two hours long, you would go from five faith ticks down to two. Casual players would therefore be penalized for the benefit of intensive players, which cuts against the grain of a lot of Wurm's mechanics (sleep bonus, fatigue, etc.). And even in the case of players serious about grinding faith, this is actually likely to slow the gains instead of accelerating them, because the fastest way to raise faith is sermons, and they reset your prayer limit every three hours if you go all out with them. In those three hours, you can get 5 faith ticks at present. Under your proposed change, you'd only get 3.

As in the subject line, amount depends on price. PM offers.

Hmm, is there a sniper extension on this auction? Without either minimum increment or sniper extension, this could end badly (1c raise in the last millisecond).

This is a great idea if path-finding issues make a better solution impossible. Losing an animal is extremely pertinent information, unlike the presence of beehives that hardly anyone gives a toss about by this point.

Dipping my toes in the account trading waters to see if toons with decent characteristics really can be got on the cheap. My only requirements are 23 body strength, 23 mind logic, 21 body control, no warnings, no silly/obscene names. My budget is very low (less than the time/silver req'd to prem a toon and grind these characteristics myself). Can pay in silver, goods, or arrange PayPal through a third party (I give them silver, they pay you EUR/USD). PM dumps and asking prices.

For those who like their beef a little bit bloody — a 99ql rare steak. Sac it, savour it, revel in its punnery — the possibilities are endless. Opening Bid: 1c Increment: Whatever Sniper Protection: 1hr Buyout: Offer

Thank you, will PM to arrange collection
