  1. I watched with interest a recent Twitch video from the Factional Fight Brothers. @McGarnicle @Faeran Gryph and Faeran were discussing their belief that some (otherwise keen) players might be losing interest after a few months of play. Faeran believed this was because although players had lots of in game rewards and achievements in the first few months, subsequently these milestones became too spread out and far apart to hold the interest of some. I too think this might be happening because in game milestones tend to be linked to each skill level reached, rather than the amount of time played, and skill-gain slows down considerably as skills rise, thus these milestones move further apart. Rewards come thick and fast in the beginning from 1-30, and are slowing down yet still keeping folk interested perhaps into the 30s and 40s skills, but after that, milestones and rewards tend to slow down to the point where paying premium for another month or year might seem like less value to some, because there can seem to be fewer visible goals on the player's horizon during that time. I want to use this space to draw up a list of the existing milestones for each skill (and I will need your help here!). I am hoping for a list of potentially game-changing features you can currently unlock, especially those for which it's worth staying or going premium, rather than just a list of all spells or items. I am also not recording the gradual improvement to the chance of successful actions with increased skill. Goals are a personal thing, but I've put in a few of my own favourites to start. I can't determine how long it will take a player to reach these milestones, because it varies between players, but the aim is to spot any gaps or desert zones where no big goal is imminently available in any given skill - so that the Devs could come along and maybe provide content to fill those gaps. If we can particularly look at giving people some juicy goals to reach in the 40-60 skill range zone, maybe this may help some players who may be dropping out due to inadequate milestones.

It could be argued that because skill gain slows down as we go up in skill and goals move further apart - there really need to be *more* (rather than less) goals the higher the skill. Goals can be social / community driven as well as in game mechanics - the ability to join in the fight at unique dragon slayings or cast spells on items at Impalongs are community-set skill levels, rather than hard-coded, but which I feel are important.
  2. Some of our current skills are useful to PvP but just not useful to PvE - such as lockpicking and stealing, and that's ok! Sometimes it might feel like it's the other way round, and that's ok too! A random idea: 2 new skill categories Keep the existing 138 skills, but also have 2 additional sets of skills - some for PvE and some for PvP. So you will have: 138 regular skills, plus X number of Optional PvE specific skills (e.g. flower arranging, tree surgery, and dolphin charming) only active on PvE servers Y number of Optional PvP specific skills (e.g. new PvP specific weapons, thievery, or new PvP specific attack and defence skills) only active on PvP servers Want to grind carrot juggling, glass making or Feng Shui? Select the skill and add it to your PVE skills. How about backstabbing, door bashing or Warhammer? Add it to PvP skills. New skills and weapons could in future be added that only work on PvP and they won't take up PvE skill slots, and won't interfere with PvE players enjoyment of the game at all. I think there's scope to provide many more innovative skills for PvP without impacting PvE and vice versa. As I've said before I believe there's no reason we have to be limited to 138 skills, I'm near certain that there are ways to get round the food affinity system that won't upset anyone's stomach. Just a random idea, and admittedly from a PvE players perspective - feel free to say below how dedicated PvE and/or PvP skills may or may not be right for you. As I see it, PvP is often overlooked, and it's only by separating out the content available to PVP visually and putting it on the table alongside that which is available to PVE, that we get a chance to check at a glance that both are receiving enough new content. Just my opinion.
  3. I was listening to Dracaa's stream video from last Sunday. @Dracaa and @Madnath were discussing many interesting things. One topic included the idea that adding more skills than 138 would upset everyone's food affinities, meaning that no more skills could be added to the game without first removing one and then replacing it. I think this should be discussed. I think it should be straightforward to 'double up' the skills affected by affinities - matching up to two skills to each affinity. That would give up to 276 skills, with each affinity pizza boosting up to two skills - the old one and potentially, a new one. If each of the 138 food affinities points towards a skill, then it should be possible for each affinity to also point to skill [affinity+138] as a secondary skill. If the skills need to point to food affinities, the 276 skills could point to affinity [skill%138]. Am I missing something? I am sure I must be. I haven't had my coffee! I find it hard to believe that the existing 138 affinity system can't have an additional 138 skills mapped onto it. Invisible blank placeholder skills which are not displayed, and have no effect could be used where there is no secondary skill yet - until we have 276. How about up to 3 skills per affinity? That would be up to 414 skills. Please feel free to comment below if you've looked at the code or have some additional insight. Also everyone - does Wurm have enough skills, or could it use some more? Please feel free to add your ideas for new skills below!
  4. Looking to learn the game, better your skills or just forage your way in life? Phawkx Den is looking for active premium players.

  5. I have noticed that some actions use the action timer and take a long time to complete - yet don't give any skill. I'm not talking about the world-changing activities such as pushing heavy objects around, or occasions where you need time to think about the task, such as deciding whether to really go to sleep and log out. I'm talking about the little things that maybe, possibly, shouldn't really use the action timer at all, or, if they do, they should really give us some skills! For example: Applying wax to paper/papyrus - why does this take so long, and if it has to take a long time, why don't we get papermaking or cooking skill for the action? Wrapping food - again, why the action timer and no skills to gain? Maybe it's just an oversight. If you can think of other actions with action timers but no skillgain, please add them here - hopefully the Devs will sort them and things will speed up, or maybe they'll give us some juicy new skills!
  6. A friend and I were joking around about me finally being able to apply to the "wurm elite" / "veterans" club since I've finally gotten my first 90 skill in leatherworking, but the discussion got me thinking and I thought it might be fun to hear back from the community, so this is my question to anyone wanting to offer their two cents: What are the must-have qualities a player should have before you would consider them a "veteran"? It's all a subjective opinion, but I thought it might be fun to try to quantify it.
  7. I made a little software tool that I'd like to share with you. It is called "WurmSkills" and can be used to create nice diagrams from your skill dumps. Here is a short description, taken from the help file: This is an example: The program will make use of your skill dumps, so it is necessary that you have skill dumping enabled. While you are able to create a single skill dump using a console command, the best way of enabling regular skill dumps is: - Start Wurm client - Click "Settings" - Change to the "Text" tab - Find the line saying "Dump skills at exit" - Tick the check box. You will then get a skill dump every time you exit the client. (To obtain useful charts you should have dump files for a larger period of time - at least a couple of weeks.) WurmSkills has been successfully tested with Windows Vista and Windows 7, but will probably also run with Windows XP. (You need .NET Framework 4.5) To install and use the program, just download this zip file: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/0k5137m2k1hfiu6/WurmSkills102.ZIP Unzip the contents (WurmSkills.exe and WurmSkills.chm) to any folder you like and run the executable. (I found that some antivirus products may classify the program as "suspicious" - I have no idea why! Ask Microsoft... Be assured that this is not malware!) I hope you like this little tool - have fun using it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check my other tools: Wurmclock, WurmDate, WurmStatus, DPMapAssist -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: Update 1.02 (see below)
  8. Misc. Items

    Will the tool pitchfork be added to Misc. Items skills list at all? I just noticed it wasn't there.
  9. Love Effect should turn all hostile creatures around you into friendly. From Wurmpedia: "If you are fighting an animal and use this ability while sticking around, you will auto-attack back, which makes it continue fighting. Backing off and no-targeting should fix it" I've had the following situation: Near a troll but not in combat yet. Troll noticed me and before he start running towards me, I used Love Effect, backed off and did no-target. He then turned green (outlined), waited for a second, turned red again and start running towards me. When he turned green for a second, there was no combat disturbing the Love Effect nor did the troll hit/attack me once or vice verca so it had no reason to go hostile (red) again.
  10. Recruiting frequent friends for my deed! Deed location : Harmony J12 I am looking for 1 to 5 people who would like to join my deed, I will not charge anything, only in the future if there is an increase in the size of the deed I will ask you to contribute with the maintenance amount which is minimal .. Reason for recruitment: I am currently alone in my deed, just a friend who only enters the weekend sometimes, and as I am frequent, I am opening these vacancies for everyone to help themselves to have everything Expectations and commitments: So whoever you want, I hope you commit to helping everyone and especially the deed, being frequent (the available time you can and enjoy playing). The goal is to grow and everyone at deed has the resources of the skills that each will specialize in. Rules? : This is simple, I just ask you to live in harmony with everyone, helping in whatever you need, and I will not stipulate ski obligations, do whatever you like, and I advise that sharing skills within a deed is essential for everyone to have much more benefits in the game in fast time. what do i have to offer? A Vynora priest in progress, fixed housing, a large deed with no upfront costs (there will only be some cost in the future if there is a need for expansion, but I will only charge for the monthly maintenance which is much lower and shared by all) lots of materials, all the resources around , space to expand as much as you want. There will be a free boat, since I have high ship, woodcut, carpentry skills for now ... If anyone is interested, leave your comment and get in touch, or call me in the game: Lordneto
  11. I've noticed that I don't get any passive beverages or cooking skillgain when distilling moonshine, although Wurmpedia says that I should. Does anyone know if this is a bug, or is Wurmpedia just wrong?
  12. Some minor confusion regarding the naming of Mauls and Axes in respect to their respective skills. Maul types available are Small, Maul and Large Maul, skills are small maul, medium maul, and large maul. Axe types available are small, axe and huge axe, skills are small axe, large axe and huge axe. There is sometimes confusion when trying to explain that medium maul or large axe are not named consistently with skills that are associated with them, where the other skills match the items available. Swords are fine, the items match the skill names.
  13. This is a chance to tell everyone what skill you're good at, what you want to get good at, and what you enjoy doing. Out of the 138 skills, it doesn't have to be your highest skill, but maybe the one you enjoy the most even if that's completely different. This could also be a chance to imagine what kind of skills Wurm could have in the future. My suggestions of Morris Dancing, Yoga and Tiddly-Winks have all been thrown out already unfortunately, so have your say! So..what's your favourite skill?

  15. Hey all, I've migrated my server from one provider to another but on migration I had issues loading the SQL Databases. I've fixed most of the issues but the only issue remaining is for existing players whereby their skills do not load. If they login and start building their skills any progression is also lost which is really frustrating for them. The error which appears is: [11:03:39 AM] WARNING com.wurmonline.server.creatures.Creature: Failed to load and create skills for creature with name Dummy:null java.lang.NullPointerException at com.wurmonline.server.skills.SkillSystem.getTypeFor(SkillSystem.java:453) at com.wurmonline.server.skills.Skill.<init>(Skill.java:181) at com.wurmonline.server.skills.DbSkill.<init>(DbSkill.java:66) at com.wurmonline.server.skills.DbSkills.load(DbSkills.java:122) at com.wurmonline.server.creatures.Creature.loadSkills(Creature.java:12289) at com.wurmonline.server.LoginHandler.handleLogin(LoginHandler.java:1690) at com.wurmonline.server.LoginHandler.login(LoginHandler.java:446) at com.wurmonline.server.LoginHandler.reallyHandle(LoginHandler.java:313) at com.wurmonline.communication.SocketConnection.tick(SocketConnection.java:615) at com.wurmonline.communication.SocketServer.tick(SocketServer.java:172) at com.wurmonline.server.Server.run(Server.java:2462) at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:555) at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:505) Any thoughts how to fix this? Many Thanks R
  16. Quick question (checked the Affinities wurmpedia article but it didn't say): If a character has an affinity in a skill that has subskills (for example, Smithing), does the skillgain boost also apply to the subskills beneath it (for example, Weapon smithing)? Thank you in advance!
  17. As a RL archer I'm trying to be purely an archer in-game but it seems very hard (too hard TBH) and brings some questions that aren't answered by the wiki and quite a few searches here. What exactly is the shot difficulty? E.g. "willow bow decreases shot difficulty by 5" - what does it mean? Why are there restrictions on minimal bow shooting distance (instead of e.g. required BS which would be more accurate)? Is it a part of grievers prevention? Will it change with the skill increase? I'm 42 Archery / 31 Long Bow on vanilla server, have 50ql rare willow long bow, using 30-35ql hunting arrows and killing anything above a cat feels like a chore and takes at least 2 quivers when in RL it should take a novice archer one, maybe two arrows in most cases... How do I increase effectiveness (accuracy/damage)? will it somehow noticeably increase with my skill? How exactly? Are there some kind of steps, e.g. will some extra power kick in on 50 Archery? what's the difference between Archery and its subskills like Long Bow - which one is responsible for what exactly? does quiver quality matter at all? Any other ways to increase shooting speed? I noticed increasing the skill helps but I'm looking for a more now solution. I know there's a spell but I hate magic and would gladly avoid it if possible. What is Quick Shot? It seems to be exactly the same as normal shot. Why is there a Shoot but no Quick Shot icon in the Select bar? Is that a bug? Any way to just keep shooting? I tried both, Ranged fighting option and Autofight quickbar's icon (in any combination) but it doesn't work. Is that a bug? Are there any not obvious skills I should train to be a better archer? Other member kindly asked about Fighting for me and according to the answer it's not related. Shooting increases BC but does BC change archer's effectiveness in any way? Does archery increase BS at all? It does in real life, that's how you progress from light bows to the ones with heavier draw weight but it doesn't seem to in-game. Does BS influence archery at all? Higher damage maybe? Every point in BS increases damage by 1%, got it. How do I use Focus when shooting a bow? The game says I'm not attacking anyone. Is that a bug? Am I doing something wrong? Can't use focus with long bow, got it. Do fighting options have any influence on Archery? I have Aggressive selected because wiki says it increases attack to 130% and I don't really need defense as an archer. It's been said on the forums elevation is important. Does it influence anything other than range? How accurate is the model? Do gravity and arrow weight play a role? Elevation affects only damage, got it. Does the wind have any influence on shooting? a. does my character somehow take it into account for better accuracy with higher skill? b. is my range / arrow speed / damage dealt in any way better when shooting with the wind and nurfed when shooting against it? Wind doesn't influence shooting, got it. Shouldn't I hear a buzz of a released bowstring cutting through the air and a whistle of a flying arrow instead of the sound of a draw? Is that a bug? When I want to use Shoot keybinding it requires me to point the mouse cursor at my target (even though the target is active in Target window and in Select bar). Is that a bug? Do I have to / should I / does it change anything at all to actually attack the target when shooting at it? I mean to put it in Target window, e.g. by clicking the Attack icon in the Select bar. "height can affect damage by up to 20%, with every 10 dirt difference being 1%" - does that work both ways, i.e. is that -20% when 200 or more dirt below the target? Can't use focus with long bow, need to be in melee range, can e.g. punch my horse to get it to work. Come on, it has to be a bug, no? Fighting skill influences Combat Rating. Does the Combat Rating influence archery? If you can answer only some questions or direct me to a thread in the forum discussing similar matters it would still be helpful. Thanks to anyone willing to clear these uncertainties for me.
  18. Tracking key binding doesn't work on floors of buildings. It is possible to track on floor tiles if the tile is selected and no item is active. If the tile is selected but any item is active, there's no Tracking icon. Tested on vanilla server.
  19. will be nice if there will be possibility to use "float" optionn at "skill tab", the same way as in "friends tab" i like to observer when my skills grow by 0,000008, but when i'm doing that, sometimes i realise i have in event tab tons of useless logs like "you are too busy" the same with combat tab...
  20. So I went GM mode, Skills -> learn and raised a skill to 99. Then after my test, I lowered it back to what it was. Unfortunately it now has the x3 multiplier, like when you get skill loss from death. How do I get rid of the x3 multiplier? Thank you!
  21. Alright, I so while playing I got to thinking, that it'd be neat to have more than one skill tracker window open at a time... Honestly, wish I could have the skill window open all the time instead... But due to the way it's presently setup, that isn't very practical, so then I had the idea... What if the "Skill Window" had a swap mode on it for players that wanted to keep it open all the time, to swap the text style of the window, over to "Skill Icons" instead, that they could mouse over for info about that skill, such as it's name, current level, and level progress of this current session. Original idea stems from how "Runescape" does their skill interface (I know this is from "Old School Runescape", but the point still stands this is still how they do their skill interface ) Just wanted to get this suggestion out there before we have a UI Overhaul, so that if others like it... There may be a chance for such a thing to be incorperated into it Btw, will be more than happy to undertake making skill icons for it, but would have to wait till said UI Overhaul happens to know how they'd have to appear on it and all, and if they'd have to scale and such
  22. The game should provide us ways to live out of any skill. Who wants to be a Fisherman for a living? Well I'd want, if only I could sell fishes or retrieve valuable stuff from a fish. My point is, there are tons of skills but while some are highly profitable and/or have high demand, there are some with almost zero demand. We should be able to choose a skill, any skill, grind it up and really make a living out of it, otherwise there's little to no reason to have such a vast skill list.
  23. As I mentioned in a previous topic me and Slinky were working on a Wurm skills dump to SQL tool. While working on getting the dump to SQL we had to find an easy way to parse the data and put it in to an easy form for making SQL queries... so we made a skills2CSV converter. Since then the tool(s) have evolved and they do a bit more than just convert the raw skill dump to an SQL file. The online tool: http://vwtfoundation.co.uk/wurmimport/ Forum post about our Wurm Database Spreadsheet: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/132940-wurm-skills-spreadsheet/ Download the Tool To download the tool for further development or testing locally we have now decided to release the tool: http://www.vwtfoundation.co.uk/Wurm/WUChar.zip temporary URL https://www.dropbox.com/s/a2yiv4l988agdrz/WUChar.zip?dl=0 Neither of us are pros at PHP/Javascript/SQLite so please excuse the quality of scripting. Most of it is commented so you should be able to understand what is doing what from where, etc. If you have any advice or input it would be greatly appreciated. The tool is provided as is and neither me nor Slinky will take any responsibility for you using the files. To use the tool simply upload to a PHP 5 enabled web site/server and extract the WUChar.zip contents. You can name the WUChar directory to anything you like. All the rest is pretty self explanatory for people who understand PHP. It would be nice if someone could improve the security and/or convert this to Java so a portable version is available. If you know Java and understand PHP/Javascript/HTML forms and fancy having a crack at making a Java application out of this tool - please do! PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT use the SQL queries on a live server yet. If you do - you do so at your own discretion. There are warnings on the tools but I thought I'd just warn you beforehand. It's still a work in progress but I need people to test it. So far we've had no problem importing our own skills and adding attributes on to our test server and the skills work/update/degrade when you die just fine. To import the SQL file created: Shut down the server to avoid conflicts. If you are hosting the server yourself (or single player) then navigate to "DirectoryForWurmOrServer\<Mapname>\sqlite" e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmServerLauncher\Adventure\sqlite Copy the UpdateSkills.sql file created with these tools in to this directory. Within this directory is an application called sqlite3.exe. Just double click this application and a command prompt-like window will open with sqlite> displayed. Type in the following, pressing return after each line: .open wurmplayers.db .read Update_Yourplayername_.sql The application will seem unresponsive for a second or two, then return back to the sqlite> prompt. Type the following then press Return: .exit (Thanks to epel for making this point) It should now have now completed the SQL queries and you should now be able to start the server or game again DONE: Insert affinities Insert Faith, Favor, Alignment, Karma and Priest/Follower status along with deity Add to inventory SQL queries (someone is going to have to help with item IDs /rarity/material/etc) - The inventories are kept in a different database, however should you develop a tool that connects to the wurmitems.db file, item ids can be found here on the item_data sheet. Set other character attributes Added so far: Kingdom GM status Bank balance Priest/Follower and Deity status Sleep bonus Karma Grant titles Only grants titles that are given by skills. Gives titles based on gender (which you must specify). Does not add Epic titles. Meditation path. Tested this with changing the server system time, adding time to the server time, and it gives questions dependant on level correctly for all paths, lets you advance properly, special abilities all work, server leaders show up for the paths, everything works as far as we can see... We would like some feedback on this as we've never been really high level on the paths before. We made it so that it generates the SQL file with an "update_", "max_" or "reset_" prefix so you can tell at a glance what the SQL file will do. Just in case you generated a few files. Credit for the inspiration and starting code for the CSV generator (first part of the tool) goes to http://wurmkit.com/.

  25. Hi, I had trouble last week with my toon Garlock, I only had 2 ticks for faith in a 24 hour period (once). Now I haven't been able to increase my meditation skill since I've been to chaos (about 3 days). I never had this problem with my main toon Kijani. [23:20:19] You drop a beautiful meditation rug.
