use of flowers / botinized / forages items to create 'lures'.


 


applied to a tile to increase / decrease % chance of (depending on lure) mob/farm animals spawn

Use something from the mob to attract others with the scent ... I like that.

Neat! Basically a player placed animal spawner (probably limited length of existence and much smaller spawn chance, but still).

Awesome, many additions to the way we can hunt in wurm have been suggested before and its great to see the idea still being brought up.   Specially when it dose not include a new hunting server  :ph34r:

Though it might need some kinds of limitation to avoid too many in one area otherwise if you dislike someone.  100 troll lures around their deed.

Presumably you mean for PvE servers.

I doubt it would be that hard to add some limits. Going by Wurm's typical mechanics, I think lures probably wouldn't actually work very well and you'd have to build ten or more high-ql lures to expect something to actually spawn unless you are extremely lucky. Not being able to build them on deeds I'm sure would also be a given.

Additionally, I think if a lure successfully attracts a monster, it could then prevent all local lures of the same type from working for a period of time (perhaps 18-24 hours).

So while some griefing potential might exist, it'd be a rather big waste of someone's time. Trolls aren't that huge of a problem anyway, even to new players (I killed my first troll with 4 fight skill simply by kiting it to a guard tower).

Probably easier just to have a radius on them like guard towers have.

Would be more useful to use lures to get retarded cridders off mountains, than to get things to spawn on a tile.

Why not a type of lure for that then? =D Lures for everyone!

I thought about that, but honestly, that would be annoying (which doesn't necessarily mean it isn't valid). Edited by Nmenth
