New Wonders
New Wonders is a different type of Wurm Unlimited server. We are not happy with adding a few ease of game play items and letting it be. We thrive to give you a new gaming experience by providing unique creatures, challenges,and an End-Game. New Wonders is a fresh server with most of the community of World of Wonders coming over the server is already highly active. We slowed down the speed of gains on this server compared to previous server as well as making tweaks to rewards gained in our dungeons. To allow crafters to benefit more and keep a market going most dungeon items will now be unique crafting material needed to make end game type items, instead of giving the item out right. We have learned a lot from our first run and are determined to make this the best WU server for content and adventure. I have played WO and WU for years and eventually each server I slowly got bored and took long breaks. Once you build your castle or town what more is there? Normally the game provides a few unique fights every few weeks to keep you going for a while so you can get your end-game armor. Once you have it then what?
Following in the footsteps of other mainstream games we provide random drop loot on a good variation of drop rates for different items including unique dungeon only drops. To provide more incentive and to make sure everyone is rewarded fairly a dungeon currency system was added so you will get rewarded by random rolls for loot drops or through currency purchases. On top of the dungeons we provide new more challenging world mobs as well as raid bosses. Currently hosting approximately 100 new mob types including approximately 10 boss type monsters. These will be reimplemented with more variety as the community grows.
Four new armor sets added including two that can only be found here. New weapons added and all armor and weapons balanced to give a larger variety of useful items. Wurm has always provided a ton of sandbox play but with these additions we have added hours of replay value to the game.

New Spell: Efficiency
Efficiency is an enchant applicable to any enchantable item, including tools, weapons, etc.
Efficiency reduces difficulty of skill checks when using that item. This applies to a great deal of actions, including getting higher average ores with a pickaxe, blocking more often with a shield, and creation chance when making items with an anvil.
Unlocks this spell at 50 faith. It requires 50 favor to cast and has a difficulty of 60. It has no cooldown.
Efficiency has negating interaction with Blessings of the Dark and Circle of Cunning. If either of those enchants exist, you cannot cast Efficiency, and vice-versa. It does stack with Wind of Ages, Nimbleness,
Ring Enchants
Industry=New Spell, Ring enchant that reduces difficulty checks-Vyn Only
Endurance=New Spell, Ring enchant that reduces stamina usage-Mag Only
Acuity=New Spell, Ring enchant that reduces favor usage-Vyn Only
If you are wearing two rings with the same enchant, they will not stack. Instead, it will use the higher value.
The ring enchants are extremley hard to cast. They should be considered a luxury item, not a necessity.
They have a baseline 80 difficulty, and the cast is further reduced based on the quality of the target item.
If the ring is low quality, the power will almost always be low as well.

Cooldown removed from changing faith at altars.
