Well I've dropped out of the business a while back. So it is all yours sir. I had closed my merchant ad several months back and when asked if I will imp anything still tell people no I am not, at best I'm selling what items I currently have in stock. Once those are gone, will not be mass making more. I'd like to attempt to play wurm for fun once more instead of using it as income. If that is possible, will find out. But personally I did find my stocks were always sufficient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 23, 2016 5 hours ago, Jonydowy said: 70 is pretty damn easy but with 70 you get 45ql coal.. if you make it possible to get 70ql coal at 70 skill..i bet more people will get in to it. This doesn't seem right, I just made some charcoal piles at 50+ coal making using 60ql logs and 35ql dirt (didn't feel like digging). Average walnut pile came out at 45ql (not including walnut bonus). Will test again once I have space in my cave with 70ql materials. For those curious the highest ql pile I got was 49.57 and lowest 41.94. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 23, 2016 On 9/20/2016 at 11:33 AM, Noizhead said: The reason why things like this happen is that all rolls lower than -100 and higher than 100 are discarded and rerolled, instead of capping the result. This is why someone with extremely high skills and item QLs still gets lousy results--for example, a miner with 99 skills and a QL95 supreme max-imbued pick only gets an average shard QL of ~85. A player with 99 smithing, 99 metallurgy, QL95 coal, and QL99 iron to work with would only wind up with an average output of ~QL83 steel. While it keeps the game from being flooded with max-QL resources, it sure is frustrating to get such lackluster returns after all that grinding. its based on Wurmian logic just like all failed rolls on cutting trees would yield perfect results and how you dont get skill from perfect products you get it from failures or at least partial failures..

Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Ok so,after speaking with some others metallurgy guys i decided to do another small test with Zinc+Copper=Brass as i can get both of them 90+ pretty easy. I do have to kind of agree with Retro after all,a buff to coal-making will solve the problem.. it just has to be something significant. These are my tests: First test 75ql Zinc-94ql Copper 500 lumps of brass. Second Test 94ql Zinc-94ql Copper 500 lumps of brass Edited September 24, 2016 by Jonydowy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) please leave steel creation alone. A few of us enjoy some of the very difficult aspects of this game and steel creations is one of the last remaining difficult processes. For the people that want easy stuff, they got the rest of wurm now. Leave a few hard things for those of us who need challenging tasks to get a good sense of accomplishment.

We are not asking for easy mode, What we are asking for is the mechanics to work as intended, Coal-making has been broken for years and even a small increase in % from results of Metallurgy would not change things that much.

I am all about difficult aspects.. don't get me wrong! I wouldnt have grinded the skills and made tons of charcoal if i wasnt!.But When something doesnt work like it should be.. i have the right to ask for a change..others before us tryed now is our turn.

Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Once you take the time to grind a skill to 90+ you expect to get some 90+ results thats how wurm works!! and not 1 every 100..but a decent amount I also think your here just for trolls.. so ill just ignore you from now on Edited September 25, 2016 by Jonydowy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 25, 2016 So it is just your expectations and reality doesn't meet... definitely sounds broken. Soon we see someone, who starts weaponsmithing and its skilling speed doesn't meet his expectations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soon we see someone, who starts weaponsmithing and its skilling speed doesn't meet his expectations. thats two different things.. its not about the grind speed its about the result..would it be nice for 90+ ws guys to make 1 weapon to 90ql out of 50 weapons? it took forever to grind coal making.. took forever to grind metallurgy.. did you hear me complain about that? i do complain about the results of coal making as it doesnt meet my expectations as a 90skill.. and thats up to the devs to decide what to do.. you being here and just troll me proves nothing do tests your self and post them instead of just talking.you aint getting to me anyway Edited September 25, 2016 by Jonydowy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missed that one.. thats why there is the walnut ql bonus. No other skill has such "feature".. thats why coalmaking is also skill, where the 90skill doesnt mean you will pop out 90ql piles.

That was just another band aid fix and nothing more which is typical of Wurm, They would rather apply a band aid to a gaping wound than actually do the work and do the surgery to fix it properly.

Walnut is clearly OP compared to the other options for coal. If one OP option makes coal making alright then there is clearly a big issue with coal making itself.

If anything, there should be more of these kind of choices. As I have already said, it is not the game, that is broken here, it is the "I want all" mindset, that is at fault here.
