Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) New Wonders New Wonders is a different type of Wurm Unlimited server. We are not happy with adding a few ease of game play items and letting it be.We thrive to give you a new gaming experience by providing unique creatures, challenges,and an End-Game. New Wonders is a fresh server with most of the community of World of Wonders coming over the server is already highly active. We slowed down the speed of gains on this server compared to previous server as well as making tweaks to rewards gained in our dungeons. To allow crafters to benefit more and keep a market going most dungeon items will now be unique crafting material needed to make end game type items, instead of giving the item out right. We have learned a lot from our first run and are determined to make this the best WU server for content and adventure. I have played WO and WU for years and eventually each server I slowly got bored and took long breaks. Once you build your castle or town what more is there?Normally the game provides a few unique fights every few weeks to keep you going for a while so you can get your end-game armor. Once you have it then what? Following in the footsteps of other mainstream games we provide random drop loot on a good variation of drop rates for different items including unique dungeon only drops.To provide more incentive and to make sure everyone is rewarded fairly a dungeon currency system was added so you will get rewarded by random rolls for loot drops or through currency purchases.On top of the dungeons we provide new more challenging world mobs as well as raid bosses.Currently hosting approximately 100 new mob types including approximately 10 boss type monsters. These will be reimplemented with more variety as the community grows. Four new armor sets added including two that can only be found here. New weapons added and all armor and weapons balanced to give a larger variety of useful items.Wurm has always provided a ton of sandbox play but with these additions we have added hours of replay value to the game. New Wonders 4k x 4k Map, PvE 1.5x Skill Gain 4x Actions (all actions corrected to be affected by multiplier) 50k creatures currently with 50% passive. Wild Worgs is our only custom mount found in the wild. As the server matures others will start spawning again. Maybe you will get lucky and find a Magic Carpet. No Deed Cost Upkeep IS Enabled Deeds auto disband after 90 days of inactivity Upkeep will remain steady and not increased Starter Town Starter town with a lot to offer to help out new players Public Mine Public Blacksmith Public Tailoring Building Public Inn with beds Public Cathedral with both lights Transportation Portal system replaced by caravan stations that allow fast travel between connected caravan stations. Caravan stations also allows carts/wagons/lead animals when using them. Mount and Cart Speed increased. ~20kts per no trait horse cart ~Hitch ANY animal that you can tame or dominate to your cart/wagon Animals will not unhitch due to ageing or becoming untamed Stablemaster available at Life Spring and all four distant outposts Do anything from your cart. Pretty much anything can be done from mounted. No need to get off your cart to cut down a tree. Bounty and Dungeon/World currency World Coin and Dungeons Coins. Any monster killed will provide you with world coin to be used at our world merchant. Dungeon Coins will provide specific dungeon coins to be used at the specific dungeons merchant. All creatures provide bounty up to 1s Creatures all have loot tables that could provide assorted goods to make unique gear Coin goes directly to your bank No bounty provided for burying corpses.(possibly implement later) Captive breed animals provide much less then wild animals Karma bounty for being logged on. Priest Modifications Three Unique Faiths: Odin, Loki, and Fenrir All kingdom priests are available No Priest restrictions Deity only spells Bless reduced to 5 faith cost New custom enchants Replenish=New Spell, automatically refills a liquid container with water-Fo Only Efficiency=New Spell, Reduces difficulty of skill checks when using the enchanted item-Vyn Only New Spell: Efficiency Efficiency is an enchant applicable to any enchantable item, including tools, weapons, etc. Efficiency reduces difficulty of skill checks when using that item. This applies to a great deal of actions, including getting higher average ores with a pickaxe, blocking more often with a shield, and creation chance when making items with an anvil. Unlocks this spell at 50 faith. It requires 50 favor to cast and has a difficulty of 60. It has no cooldown. Efficiency has negating interaction with Blessings of the Dark and Circle of Cunning. If either of those enchants exist, you cannot cast Efficiency, and vice-versa. It does stack with Wind of Ages, Nimbleness, Ring Enchants Industry=New Spell, Ring enchant that reduces difficulty checks-Vyn Only Endurance=New Spell, Ring enchant that reduces stamina usage-Mag Only Acuity=New Spell, Ring enchant that reduces favor usage-Vyn Only If you are wearing two rings with the same enchant, they will not stack. Instead, it will use the higher value. The ring enchants are extremley hard to cast. They should be considered a luxury item, not a necessity. They have a baseline 80 difficulty, and the cast is further reduced based on the quality of the target item. If the ring is low quality, the power will almost always be low as well. Faith Change Cooldown removed from changing faith at altars. Enchants that can possibly drop on dungeon items Prowess=New Spell, Ring enchant that increase combat rating-No God can cast Titanforged=New Spell, Increases speed, efficiency, and skill gain-No God can cast(Stacks with other enchants like WoA/BotD/Nimbleness) Custom power settings on some spells to balance gameplay (Raising Max Favor to 200 Max next update which will make linking not require) Meditation Modifications Always succeed to meditate Unlimited meditations No need to move certain tile distances 1/4 time for path promotions Storage Double size of crates 300 for small crates 600 for large crates Bulk Storage Bins size greatly increased No BS requirements for loading Easy transfer if items between crates-crates, crates-bsb. 100 item transfer available regardless of character carry limit. Crops Do not rot Grow time is roughly 24 hours Harvesthelper gives an audible alert when crops grow Improved farming by Bdew allows planting/tending/harvesting large areas once skill is high enough Digging/Surface Mining/Mining Surface mining is 100% successful and only requires you to uncover that tile, no digging all the tiles around it. Moonmetal mining enabled. So get some moonmetals when mining random tiles. Dig/flatten/level from cart/wagon Dirt/tar/peat/moss/clay that are dug is put into Cart/wagon and even the crates you have loaded in the vehicle if mounted Tar/Moss/Clay all dig 10kg each dig Peat dig 20kg each dig Combat Weapon damage all normalized for 1H or 2H making all weapons viable Dual wielding improvements allows good damage output for dual wielding Custom mobs and rift mobs naturally spawn across the map Custom armor and weapons available through farming mobs in and out of dungeons Mount summon scrolls can be created with items found on mobs including drake mounts Dragons and hatchlings drop scale/hide on corpse for raffle to allow everyone to keep the little they get automatically New Armor Sets Pirate weave armor-Uses black cloth textures for most pieces, a mask, and studded boots/gloves. DR is at 0.55. 30% cast bonus like all cloth armor Goblin weave armor-Uses green cloth textures for most pieces and leather boots/gloves. DR is at 0.55. 30% cast bonus Pirate weave cloth can be found in Pirates Cove. Goblin weave cloth can be found on goblins and trolls, since the trolls like killing the goblins. Both materials can be found from treasure map guardians. New Weapons +0.3 base damage compared to normal weapons, higher parry rates Cursed Dagger Cursed Axe Cursed Shortsword Cursed Sickle +0.5 base damage compared to normal weapons, higher parry rates Infused Longsword Infused Warhammer Weapon Tweaks 2H weapons have lost some base damage and gained some parry. 2H have been way OP compared to dual wielding and provided higher damage then expected from base weapons. Essences New type of material used to make mid to end game type items. Currently used for summoning scrolls and new armors. The amount of items that use the new essences will increase as time allows. Essence of Life: Small chance a fragment will drop off any mob. Champion mobs have higher drop chance. Treasure mobs have higher chance Essence of Death: Small chance from Hell hounds,hell horses,hell scorpious, and zombies. Pirates cove mobs much higher drops. Treasure mobs have good drop chance Essence of Fire: Currently not in tables Essence of Holy: Scheduled to drop in our next dungeon Essence of Magic: Currently not in tables Essence of Water: Currently not in tables New Scrolls Scrolls of summoning have been added.

Posted June 16, 2017 Prepping for our first server event! Jun 12, 2017 at 10:00pm A large caravan from a far away land has heard of the newly established village of Life Spring. They have sent an envoy ahead of there arrival to let us know they are coming with food and supplies for all. They have invited everyone to meet them at the East entrance of Life Spring for a grand festival on Saturday 17th of June around 4:00PM EST. Jun 14, 2017 at 11:03pm The magical envoy seems very nervous. He has not had any communication with the Caravan since he has arrived in Life Spring. Hopefully the caravan is ok.... Come join us to welcome the caravan, meet the community, and have some fun! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 19, 2017 People this is a great server to play on. The guy who runs it is very tuned into what players want in a democratic fashion. Lots of mods that make player's experience as positive as possible while not giving out an instant win button. A huge map with lots of varied terrain and endless space. Fun things to find while exploring like abandoned buildings with treasure and magic boxes with goodies. Making money is easy with the bounty system and the creature count. If killing stuff isn't your thing you can make public roads and guard towers to make silvers. Since it's a huge server, 8k x 8k, transport speed has been increased so it's easy to get from place to place and the portals help too. There was an event this last weekend that was a ton of fun. Pure chaos and pandemonium with nice prizes at the end. GMs will have events and help players set up events too. If you want to be part of making a fun server even more fun then come and check it out. The more people we have the more fun it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 25, 2017 The traveling merchant is a GM controlled trader that we set up and move each week with updated loot. We also keep him with a higher coin balance then all the other traders on the server so you can actually sell a decent amount to him. Not a modification just using in-game controls in a different way then normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
