Posted August 28, 2020 There's quite a lot of useless filler skills in the game like body/mind/soul, and the majority of parent skills like tailoring axes swords shields smithing armor smithing misc items. I could go on for a while, there is a lot of worthless skills that just feel shitty to get an affinity in, you'll see people excited to get a body affinity or whatever in chat and then people tell them its useless and they feel disappointed. I'd suggest one of two things 1. Make Parent skills with no/near no use give a bonus to all subskills, either 5% or 10/subskills, so like a body would give 3.33% to str/stam/control, whereas a knives would give 5% to carving/butchering, but a carpentry affinity wouldn't effect its subskills because carpentry is a full fledged skill 2. Make Parent skills give bonus to subskills regardless of whether or not its a useful skill, this would be easier to code and save the hassle of figuring out which skills are "useful" or not, but it'd make some skills like carpentry where the parent is a useful skill double dip on bonus skillgain. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2020 I like option 1. Would be nice to have parentskill-affinities have a use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2020 please give my body and soul affinities a use +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2020 damn this guy is full of good suggestions +1 affinities are hard to earn, really discourages people when they get a "body" parent affinity etc Especially the guys buying affinities for marks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2020 damn.. for some reason i always thought "body" skill implemented how much "HP" you have and body str - how much damage you do. Was it changed at some point or the body parent skill was always sort of useless? not like i have affinities in it, but it really makes no sense if you get one in a skill that is utterly useless and only provides you visual "skill" number..

Posted March 17, 2021 Sounds good. Even to this day after so many years of wurm I have zero clue what the "Body" skill does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 21, 2021 +1 damn good suggestion. More benefit is no less. Then they will become not just an unnecessary number. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
