Treasure maps

Recommended Posts

Wurm needs additional content and a way to stand out from the crowd, this idea address both of these.

 

What are treasure maps?

They're an in-game item that will have clues and riddles to solve. Each map will take you through a 3 step process where you will travel around the map to meet the objectives set out. Some examples of the tasks that might be completed:

- Kill and aged troll in the north.

- Cut down a mature maple tree in the south.

- Catch a roach in the north west.

The tasks themselves are relatively simple, however the riddle might take a bit of brain power to figure out. Upon completion of a task, you'll get the next step. The tasks will be designed to get people traveling the map.

 

How to get a treasure map?

The maps will drop from various sources. The main source will be from mob drops upon slaying the creature. However you'll also have a chance to get them from fishing, mining, woodcutting, digging & farming. The chance to get a map isn't all that rare. You'd expect to get 1 from about 2-3 hrs of of an activity.

 

What are the rewards?

Upon completion of the final step of the map, you'll receive a treasure chest. Due to the likelihood of getting a treasure map, the rewards will vary.

Common drop: 1-2 sleep powder

Uncommon drop: lump of moon metal (1:5)

Rare drop: gear skin (1:10)

 

What are gear skins?

These will be similar to jackal skins. They will be a 1 use which you have to attach to a specific item. There will be 4 tiers (normal, rare 1:5, supreme 1:10 & fantastic 1:25). The skin will not change the rarity of the item it's attached to. Every tier of skin will get visually more interesting, with fantastic skins looking drastically different from the standard version. The skins will need to be attached to specific item, for example a plate armour skin goes on a plate armour piece. The skins are tradable. 

 

The whole point of this update is to provide extra content while also allowing us to change our visual appearance to look different from other people.

It's actually implemented from a Modder on WU. so they could literally buy it from the modder and implement it immediately

i like the idea but should be a bit hard to work out finding the treasure chest through puzzles and travel of a few different islands clues should be random some given to a person u have to find and talk to  so the old wurmers cant get there first,  nice gems n high food pieces, magical weapons n armour pieces, rare spells ,strange swords n axes and clothes     never seen before      and money silvers .not same stuff as rifts but like the old pirate games (might n magic 6.7.8 goodys) , add pirates at end guarding the stash and we need a few players to get together to get the chest ,
