Most of us know by now how hard it is to make (or buy) runes, much less high ql ones - and once you make them the next big hurdle is trying to attach them. What if we can significantly boost your chances of attaching the runes to the items you love? This is the service that Inspira and I are offering here. Using her wonderful Soul Depth (76.67, 2nd in niarja) and my reputation, we will insure that: (1) you get your precious items back to you (with attached runes) (2) with minimal rune expenditure (all remaining runes will be mailed back to you) (3) with a complete log of the events from accepting the mail and until mailing back Here's how to do it: Rename the (mailable) item with your name Rename any runes you want to send with your name Send them to Inspira (or Thorakkanath if you do not trust my gf ) Wait Receive the item back (in any case), including any remaining runes and see the log (if interested) posted as a reply to this thread Cost of this service: 35c per successfully attached rune (so only once per item) If you have items that you cannot mail, you can bring them to our deed to perform the service (Thunderstorm Keep/Thunderstorm Harbor in Q11 Xanadu). Please contact us before to insure that we are on at the time. If no runes get attached to your tools, we will COD the item back to you at 1i cost as a show of good faith (and of course, providing a log of the failure in this thread) - tips are welcome of course, because we will still have to do the work of posting, success or failure. In that sense, if you send a single low ql rune to attach, we will have to charge you a 10c fee in case of failure. Current attach chances: 1ql rune - 69% chance 14ql rune - 88% chance 25ql rune - 94% chance 32ql rune - 97% chance 40ql rune - 99% chance Any constructive suggestions on how to improve the service are greatly appreciated as well! We wish you all the best of luck! Thor & Inspira What if I don't have the runes? Then we offer you two options: (A) you can pay our flat fee of 55c and we will produce any runes needed for the attaching (subject to availability and excluding moon metal runes). This option is only available if you use our Rune Attaching Service but offers guaranteed attaching with unlimited tries in case of failure (B) if the item you want runed is not mailable and you are too far away to sail to us, we can sell you higher ql runes at 2c/ql (please inquire about this option as we do not do runes on demand at high qualities, only if available)

I need several runes 30~40 ql please. Let me know what you ate charging for them

Hi all, this auction is for a metal (iron) hammer, not rare, but with two runes: [17:21:29] A single copper rune of Magranon has been attached to it, so it will have a higher chance to be successfully improved (5%) and increase the chance of increasing rarity when improved (5%) [17:21:29] A single seryll rune of Fo has been attached to it, so it will increase the chance of successfully enchanting the item (10%) Double rune from Archaeology, also bears coc 98 and woa 93, will be sent via mailsystem. Starting bid: 10s Increments: 1s Sniper 1h No buyout

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've played Wurm, but I've recently returned and began to dig into some of the newer content that's been implemented. A lot of players have extremely misguided ideas of how runes work. I've heard that applying a usage speed rune on a weapon increases it's swing timer. Another is that using an enchant power rune on a statuette increases the power of enchants you cast, and similarly using a success chance on a statuette would increase your chances of casting successfully. I've spent the last few hours diving into the code of Wurm Unlimited to understand the mechanics of runes as best I can, and my results are incredibly disappointing. In an effort to stop players from wasting their time applying runes incorrectly, I'm going to go ahead and dispel all the rumors about how runes work with certain items, and clarify their actual use cases. To start, I will clarify a few of the common misconceptions that I've heard: Usage speed does not affect weapon swing timers. Although I have not checked specifically, I believe this also implies that it does not increase the speed at which bows fire. "Bows use 10% speed rune but theres a cap on firing speed so it just means you can shoot max speed longer before waiting for stam" [Thank you @Oblivionnreaverfor clarifying this interaction.] Applying any rune to statuette, including skill gain, enchant power, and enchant success, does nothing for your casts or channeling. Instead, you must apply the enchant power or success to the item you are enchanting for it to apply. Vehicle speed does not affect horse gear such as horse shoes and saddles. On another note, damage reduction also does not affect the damage taken from horse shoes and saddles when equipped on a horse. Rarity increase does not work for items you improve with. For example, applying rarity chance to an awl will not give you a higher chance to make something rare when improving using the awl. Instead, you now have a 10% higher chance of making that awl rare when you improve it. I found no evidence of rarity increase working for items that are used for creation. For example, applying a rarity rune to a small anvil and using the anvil to create items will not give a higher chance of the created item to become rare. The only references I found in the code for the rarity runes were under the methods for "improve" "polish" and "temper" (interaction explained above) - nothing for creation. Improve chance does not work for items you improve with. Instead, you must apply the rune to the item you are improving in order to obtain the bonus. More quality when improved also works this way. On the reverse side, here's a few interactions which actually do function as it seems they should: Usage speed on an improvement item does reduce the time for the improvement to take place. Usage speed, when used on an item for creation (eg. small anvil), will apply the speed boost. You can also double this up by applying it to the material used in creation (eg. iron lump). Recipe creation works identically. Resource gathering QL works with the following items: Pickaxe (Mining) Butchering Knife, Shovel (Butchering) Scissors (Shearing) Shovel (Digging) Sickle (Forestry) Rake, Scythe (Farming) [Rakes do not work because hands are used for harvesting if not using a scythe. Thank you @Oblivionnreaver.] Hatchet, and any other item that you use to chop a tree down with (Woodcutting) Skill increase works on items similar to Circle of Cunning or Blessings of the Dark. If CoC or BotD work to increase skillgain, the rune should as well. Finally, the decay rune works a little bit differently than the rest. Decay reduction works on parent items. For example, a barrel with the decay reduction rune will reduce the decay of everything inside, as well as itself. However, the rune can apply only once throughout all parents. For example: You have a ship - no rune. Inside the ship is a raft - decay reduction rune. Inside the raft is a barrel - no rune. Inside the barrel is a backpack - decay reduction rune. Inside the backpack is a silver lump - no rune. In this scenario, the ship takes full decay. The raft, as expected, has reduced decay. Equally, the barrel inside the raft also takes reduced decay, inheriting the rune from the container above. The backpack also has decay reduction, but the rune it has is wasted. It could inherit from the raft that it's contained in. Finally, the silver lump also has decay reduction, inheriting the rune from the raft. I hope this post helps clarify how runes function. I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of choice, resulting in basically just skill gain and usage speed runes being useful for improvement items. I was hoping rarity or QL increase runes could be more enticing for application to improvement items, but sadly they do not work as I thought they would.

Many rares have no apparent added functionality, why not let extra runes be attached? One rune for normal, two for rare, three for supreme and four for fantastic. Some runes might need to be one-per item for balance, but most wouldn't need any extra balancing.

After today's update they said the rune to have forges and any item that burns fuel burn 10% slower or use 10% less fuel as it burns, however you want to say it was now working. I'm not finding that to be true. I have a supreme forge at 90 ql, and with the rune on it the forge seems to be burning fuel 10% faster. Could someone please test this to see if I'm right, or just imagining things?

Since you can rune a scythe to improve your farming of grains, how about we add a Garden Glove for harvesting the rest? Then we could add runes to those.

It's been a fair few months now since runes hit the ground running and they've proven to be a wonderful feature to have. The trouble is that priests have next to no chance of every being proficient in creating runes unless they depriest, level FC, JS and SC (all three of which are almost entirely impossible to train to a decent level using creation ticks) and then repriest. Given that soul depth can be trained just as fast as a non-priest this leaves us with non-magic users being the better runesmiths. Given that runes are a form of enchantment; it seems as if magic users would have more knowledge of them and should be the more proficient users. There is also the fact that Mag seems the kind of god who would make great use of runes and Mag's following is extremely low in the PvE worlds. Thus I propose the following changes: 1a. When creating runes priests use their channeling skill OR the creation skill (whichever is higher) OR 1b. Give priests a way to train these skills that is on par with non-priests (giving them stronger "creation" ticks IN THESE SKILLS would be the simplest solution) (edit: added in bold clarification) OR 1c. Add a buff that occurs randomly when praying that allows priests to use their faith score in place of a skill for the creation of a single rune 2. Make the bonus towards creating a rune of one's own god based on faith, giving priests a buff. 3. Give mag priests and followers an additional passive buffing final rune quality (again based on faith) The fact that imbues are also locked to one type of priest is disturbing and seems plain wrong, there is also the follower imbalance since followers of vynora dominate due ot the experience bonus. Thus, the following changes are proposed: 1. Allow all priests to perform alchemy 2. Give fo priests and followers a bonus to natural substance item creation QL (based on faith) These changes should give priests a well-needed edge in rune creation, as well as balance followers a little more.

So , simple idea, would help a lot of people on Freedom and epic who don't have access to sme,fo or nahjo priests. Add a rune or replace a useless rune we have now with a rune that can cast "gensis" on horses that removes a negative trait. It would massively help horse breeders and farmers in game, without having to track down a priest that casts genesis for them. Not everyone has access to them and rift materials are becoming abundant these days. What say you devs? Good suggestion ?

Grand Conjunction of 1601 Dancers III - Predicted by Gaffer Hi Everyone! This week has testing on cooking continuing, with recipes being adjusted, and the cookbook being modified, we're also showing a few new things coming in 1.3 that you can't eat! Rifts and runes The new runic items coming with the 1.3 update will provide individual bonuses depending on a few factors, combining a rune will require a rift stone, crystal or piece of wood along with a lump of metal. The metal used as well as the god the crafter follows will determine the end result, creating a rune that can provide a number of effects such as: Improvement QL gain rate Faster Vehicle speed Faster use speed reductions in size, weight, decay rate increases in volume improvements in ql gain increased chance of rarity There will also be single use runes, giving a chance at performing from a basic spell, to a refresh, and more! Wooden runes will be created with fine carpentry, and attach to wooden items Crystal with jewellery smithing, and attach to metal. Stone using stone-cutting, being able to attach to stone. Cloth items will also be included with one of them, not sure which at this point. These bonuses vary between 5-10%, but be careful! Some will have downsides too, there will be a lot to consider prior to attaching one. These runes are high end items, expect them to be extremely difficult to create, success chance of using or applying the rune will be based off rune quality as well as soul depth, each item is also limited to one rune (minus single use runes). So choose wisely. Cookbook! Work has been extensive on changing the cookbook, moving it to a client sided window (meaning no more pesky timing out) and listing all recipes, here's a sneak preview: Message boards Another feature coming with 1.3 is the message board system! Ever want to leave a message for someone? Or post a request? Well with the new message board, you'll be able to leave all sorts of notices. All you need to do is inscribe some paper or papyrus. And then attach to the message board! You can select whether to post messages to the whole village, to a single villager, or have them publicly available to non citizens as well! It's that simple! The ability to post to certain groups will be limited by permissions. Pandalet joins the dev team! Pandalet has been working hard helping Tich with documentation on the cooking test, giving me lots of info to steal and post in the weekly news, as well as assuring that when it launches, we'll have all the info easily available! I'm pleased to announce that we've managed to trick her into joining the dev team as a developer, So be nice! Wurm Unlimited sale Wurm unlimited is currently 66% off on Steams daily deals! Now's your chance to grab it cheap! Community Content There has been discussion about a player run Wurm radio station! Morlan has been floating the idea of hosting a radio station for Wurmians by Wurmians, andd I'm keen to see how this goes, because I absolutely love sharing music and seeing what others listen to when playing Wurm (except for some Mist lake members who love a little too much Aqua, you know who you are), so I'll be keeping a close eye on it! We're still on track for mid-late November, and next week will have even more info on the non cooking side of this update. I hope to see you all then! Until then though, keep on Wurming! Retrograde & the Wurm team.

Hi Everyone! And what a week! Testing our new cooking update has been super productive, with bugs, text errors and all sorts of fixes being addressed, we're really thankful for all your hard work and feedback. Based off that, we have a few changes we'll be doing: Complexity and effort It's been pointed out a fair bit that the system might be a little too easy to gain the best benefit, while we do wish to make this system as simple as possible it is true that there should be more reward for performing more complex meals. As such we'll be scaling the CCFP gains and affinities to work with the complexity of a finished meal. It will take into account amount of ingredients, actions needed to be performed, and difficulty to provide a greater boost to those high end meals. Our main focus will be ensuring that high end meals provide greater reason to create them, and encourage exploration in meals as well as sharing recipes found. Quick and easy meals will still fill nutrition and provide basic sustenance, but will provide minimal boosts to CCFP or temporary affinity timer. With over 500 recipes multiplied by different methods of cooking and optional ingredients, there's enough of a range of options to get the affinity you are looking for in a high end meal (around the vicinity of 10,000 possible combinations). As is current with the affinity system temporary affinities will only show if you are a premium player, non premium players will not see any temporary affinities. Redesigning the cookbook Currently the cookbook design has been focused on functionality, in order to ensure that the system worked, we'll be looking at taking feedback and ideas on the setup of the cookbook with a focus on improving it for usability. With that in mind though, due to the nature of the system not all suggestions will be feasible, though we are looking at moving it to a client sided system which would allow it to remain open with other windows, and give it a place on the quickbar. We'll keep you updated on how that goes. This system will be ongoing over the next week or so, the test server will remain open this time as updates roll out, so be sure to jump on and try it out! The winners! Even though the current test window will be extended, we'll be announcing the winners of the prizes today! The winners of 10 sleep powders are: Garit Ecrir Rheascope Greyfox Lianya The winner of the supreme steel frying pan is... Hickory! We'll arrange delivery of the prizes over the weekend, if you have any concerns about being on to receive them, please send me a PM I'd like to congratulate the winners as well as thank everyone for taking part, your testing means a smoother launch, which benefits everyone! The test server will remain open over the next week, with focus on being adding those updates as they go in. Rift materials As teased last week, the uses for the strange materials harvested from the rifts that have been appearing. When combined with a metal, they can be forged into strange little runes, which will provide bonuses to equipment, vehicles and containers. Bonuses from these items will depend on the metal used when forging, as well as other factors, and provide a range of bonuses, including: Increased volume capacity Lower weight Less damage taken Higher shatter resistance Resetting the mailing limit Reducing decay of the contents of a container Some will be one use only, but others will attach to the target to provide a continual boost. Only one rune that provides an ongoing effect can be attached to a tool, excepting the single use ones such as mail reset limits. This is a huge new system coming in, with almost 200 possible combinations, not all effects are currently outlined, but as this system is worked on we will bring you all the information about them in time for 1.3! Extension on source rifts As asked in last weeks news unstable source rifts will have their date extended by a few weeks, to allow for a decent length of crossover time to allow people to properly set up their new system with the new storage options for liquids and the removal of decay on decorations. Wurm Unlimited The next Wurm Unlimited update will go live on the 31st of October, some time in the US morning. We will provide an exact time closer to the date on IRC and Twitter/Facebook. Community Content Desolation v4! Today marks the launch of Desolation version 4, a heavily modified PvP server project being run by Nappy (and I believe others!) I'm quite keen to see how this goes, and might even jump on myself! That's it from us for this week, as you can see, 1.3 is shaping up to be more than just a nice big meal, we still have more in store and will be going into detail with those in the following weeks, in the meantime though, have a happy Halloween!
