Journal: 70 Prayer / Global cast

Recommended Posts

I'm not all that keen on the 70 prayer goal, mainly because the grind is so dull that it lends itself to AFK playing.  It's basically old fishing with shorter timers, which shouldn't be what the game is about (and seems to be something the devs want to move away from anyway).  Prayer doesn't seem to be useful for anything either, although that may be something they're planning to change down the line I guess.  This goal feels more like a way to separate the hard-core players from the casual ones than an actual achievement.

1 hour and 10 min of work. I'd call this far from hard.

So 10-ish hours of work for 1 point in a skill, that is 10-ish hours staring at the same object and pressing the same hotkey...

 

For 1 point.

 

Definitely not hard, but definitely a walking invitation to burnout XD

I think the journal has to many useless goals, 70 praying my priest is soon 10 year old and not there reward to small, 100 sermons I have been 100 faith for long why 300 hours for nothing?

 

In my opinion good goals are goals you benefit from and would get there eventually.

For the last point. The lower you go in skill the less time it takes.
That's really some of wurms essence though, dwelve into the madness.

The thing is...

 

[19:00:01] Forestry increased by 0.0015 to 79.1339
[19:14:58] Forestry increased by 0.0020 to 79.2584

 

This was fun to get, the skill level was higher too.  There was also more activity involved.  Forestry is MUCH more useful than prayer.

 

I'm not adverse to grind, what I am adverse to is poorly balanced ones for skills that have no real use.

I don't really understand the whole anti-afk skill mindset, most skills in wurm can be done with a single keyboard press.

Imagine having mining become a skill where you have to pay attention and click at the right time just to get the action done.

53 prayer on my priest who never been staying facing an altar and praying dumb. Also you need to do a ton of praying for the 100 gems goal ... Which rewards with a bunch of low ql gems to grind channeling. These journal tiers are not for being finished in a span of months (unless mad... My fresh priest reached 70 praying yesterday). Where I agree is that praying skill should provide some benefits.

I don't condone are agree with your stance to make this goal out as something reasonable (for freedom at least, it's turbo ez mode on Epic.)

 

 

But godspeed to you for pulling the total BS version of that goal off, you mad lad.

15. Note that I've had Snoo for a very long time though and I was doing prayer when panfilled and when I was just bored.

 

[15:09:16] Prayer increased by 0,0030 to 70,0028 and now I'm done.

You did it!

I've decided it's not worth the bother doing it on my priest, Lib isn't going to get a RoD anytime on Cele I don't think.
