Posted August 14, 2015 Okay, started a new page on the wiki that I was supremely surprised hadn't been started yet. It is still in its infancy and could do very well with further examples, expansion and additions. If anyone have proven maths in regards to this, it'd be an impressive addition. http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Rarity_system 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 15, 2015 A small data point: a rare carving knife gives product (e.g. a shaft or kindling) max 1QL higher than the raw resource (which is usually the cap). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Coal PilesWhen a coal pile goes rare (which has a better chance of happening when you use a rare item), it has an increased chance of churning out rare tar, ash, or charcoal. Sacrificing RaresI've noticed that heavily damaged rares do not always grant a refresh. It's more of a chance, with the higher QL/less damage yielding a higher chance. Rare ToolsAs Pandalet mentioned, rare tools often yield a higher QL. My carving knife gives me a 1QL bonus off of the material max (i.e. as Pandalet explained, 50QL log yielding 51QL shafts) - this is also true for making additional materials. 50QL Log -> 51QL Shafts -> 52QL pegs. A friend of mine has also said the same for rare saws. CoinsAs this is asked often in CA HELP. Rare coins are worth the same as their face value, and may be sacrificed the same as other rares for a refresh or for skill in the case of supreme+. Also, we have Rare item, and Rare item Talk. There's also Supreme item and Fantastic item - it seems to me that we may want to merge all of these into a more concise page.

Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) I kind of think that's a great idea. Let me see what I can do while I am sitting here doing an order for 1k planks Edit: So after looking over all of the pages that Keenan listed I think I have a fair sense of what information should be put onto what pages. I think that I am gonna use Jberg's Rarity System page as the main page and just make sub lvls of text on that page one for each rarity level. Keeping it brief of course.

Posted August 16, 2015 http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Rarity_system Done. I think it look pretty good. Take a look and see if anything needs to be changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) well thats looking good so far,but i think the rare coins would go better in a page about money distribution or how to make money or something,since as i understand it,they only reused the rarity system because they wanted to do something fast and that was the easiest way. and lol i fixed a typo in the horse shoe section it said they get a "seed bonus" Edited August 17, 2015 by Brynden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess not Also, about the rare coins, I think it has a place here on the Rarity System page but I do agree that it does have a spot on another page about wurm currency. In fact it already exists, Bank of Wurm, mentions "Foraging and botanizing give a very low chance to find coin", as well as, "Killing creatures gives a very low chance to find coin, double chance if they are domestic animals." The same page also mentions that, "Any coin generated by the last two points above will be tagged as rare. This is simply for aesthetic reasons and they do not hold any special functions. Once deposited into the bank they become standard coin." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 18, 2015 The final sentance there is technically incorrect - rare coins can be sacrificed for refresh (and skill ticks for supreme and presumably fantastic), which normal coins can not be. The point is that they don't have any additional financial value over non-rare coins. As above, I'm fairly sure rare coins are rare for convenience reasons, not aesthetic ones.

Posted August 18, 2015 Might want to add to the armor section that it also increases glance rate. I can do testing and publish if you would like but I think anyone that has fought against a player in full rare plate, be it spar or legit pvp, can back this up. You glance like a mofo.

Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Got a rarity event when i killed a Ram(mind you I'm not sure if Wurm Online and Wurm Unlimited share enough data for this to appear on the wurmpedia but since I can't find a resource site for unlimited I figured I'd leave this here) I'm not sure what exactly happened, the corpse seems normal quality, no loot on it, and I was planning on using it for a spit so I'm not sure if i should just butcher it and see if it influenced that or if it was a damage event which wouldn't of mattered since it was already near death... Edit: Apparently if you get it while fighting you'll get a rare item in your inventory?(found a rare five coin copper in my inventory) Edited August 12, 2017 by Arctic_Howler spelling and found why it happened...

Not 100% certain if the roll is killed before being sent if that is the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
