Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Festival of the Veil (Samhain/Halloween festival and Impalong) October 24-30th 2021 (ended) Greetings Fellow NFI Guys and Ghouls, Its your friendly Cathedral Crypt Keeper here, I'm just dieing with excitement to invite you to one of the first Norther Freedom Isle Impalong. The Zombies and I will be hard at work getting everything ready including this post, keep an eye on this page for updates. What's an Impalong? It's a community event/festival that's hosted by someone on their deed, often times they have themes to match the season, holiday, or hold some special meaning to the host. The word impalong was created long before i became a wurmian, but it refers to the action of gathering and improving items for your fellow Wurmian, it is an event where crafters and priests from across Wurm join together to improve/enchant other players gear for free. Everyone is welcome to work on their skills at the event. In addition to the imping/enchanting, there are various other things such as games and events, prize giveaways, contests, and sometimes even GM's drop in to spawn a few mobs on unsuspecting Festival-goers. Location (where to find us) The cathedral is on the western shore of the heart shaped bay on cadence at map coordinates G23 just north of Broken Heart Bay Spoiler the location on the ingame map the location on the community map Broken Heart Bay is misspelled as broken hearth bay Event Schedule (all times are U.S. central time zone) Oct 24th 12am gates open to public Oct 25th - 1v1 Tournament Begins Oct 26th - Fishing Contest Oct 27th - Scavenger Hunt Oct 28th - Rose Garden Maze opens Oct 29th Costume contest Oct 30th Bonfire and Closing ceremony The Discord Channel We use this for everything Closed till next year The Deed Spoiler The Rogue Cathedral deed is a small deed but has a dominating presence on its little corner of cadence. the Cathedral and sleepy monk inn on its side. the Community Workshop where all the imping will happen, the Pilgrims Rest inn can be seen just above the Workshop. the Arena (not finished yet in this image) The Community Workshop (the impalong facility) Spoiler we are still working on decoration so the interior is not fully decorated. the forges will all be labeled for each profession and one just for horseshoes. Each skill will have its own area to work in with all the materials provided in close proximity to that station three alter for each god will make it easier for priests to work, pray, sermon, and sacrifice. The Pilgrim's Rest Inn Spoiler from the outside it look like a large house the bar will be open for the festival plenty of seating to gather and tell ghost stories. The Rooms there are 4 double rooms. and 19 single rooms Room Reservations Spoiler Rooms V= Vacancy Please contact Oleonder or other staff members if you wish to reserve a room first floor 11 (double)~o 12 (double)~o 13 ~o 14 ~o 15 ~o 16 ~o 17 ~o 18 ~o Second Floor 21(double) ~o 22 (double)~o 23 ~o 24 ~o 25 ~o 26 ~V 27 ~V 28 ~V Third Floor 31 ~V 32 ~V 33 ~V 34 ~V 35 ~V 36 ~V 37 ~o Events Spoiler Sparing Challenge Naked Fisht Fight: The combatants will strip all of their gear off and enter the arena carrying only a fish in their hand and will then start the duel (more info soon) Trash battle: Again starting with nothing, entering the arena fighters will equip whatever equipment is provided in the arena then begin the duel Drunken Brawling: (Self Explanatory) Get completely drunk enter the arena and begin duel. The Rose Garden The Gardner went crazy, we told him to make it pretty.... well he did its A-MAZEing and now he is nowhere to be found i hope he didn't get lost. the rose garden will open Oct 28th at (5:00pm Eastern U.S.) Scavenger Hunt more info soon Fishing Contest this will be a daily contest during the festival so all who wish to participate will have an opportunity (more info soon) Costume Contest bring your best costumes and ware them during the festival we will have a final judgement on the 29th (more info soon) The Rules Spoiler Item Placement: Name your items before placing them into improvement/casting coffins, shelves or forges! Double-check which container you should place your items in, and place them there. (Most forges/coffins/racks are already labeled for ease of location) Pick up your finished item as soon as possible to make space for new items. (staff or the impers will be able to trade you your items) If space is running short, Impalong staff will move finished items to "Overflow" shelves. You will need to contact Impalong staff in order to retrieve your items. some commonly misplaced items are listed below Carving Knife, Sickle, and Scythe(blade only) are Bladesmithing. Finished Sickle, and Scythe are Weaponsmithing. (Cooking) Knife and Leather Knife are Blacksmithing. New fishing rods are Fine carpentry. Light Fishing Reels are Carpentry. Medium Reels are Fine Carpentry The deep water reel is Blacksmithing. The professional Reel is Jewlry Smithing What to bring All items a person wishes to have improved or chanted (only one of each item for each player except for arrows horse shoes and armor pieces) only one full set of armor (leather, chain, plate) per person, in addition to one set of wool or cloth clothing. you may bring 2 sets(8 total) horse shoes 2 saddles,2 saddlebags, and 2 bridles. you may bring 20 hunting and 20 war arrows. Large items such as forges, floor looms, spinning, wheels, larders, etc. are welcome. Wagons and carts are will be imped outside the building. Improvements/Enchanting: Quality items are improved to is at the discretion of the imper, but the minimum anything will get imped to is 70ql; if you want higher quality than arrange that via PM with an imper but ensure first that there is not a backlog of other items to be imped first. Only items that are 70ql+ will be cast on(unless they are skiller items; if they are below 70ql for skilling purposes name the object as such along with your name). Place your items into the shelf labeled with the enchantment you want. YOU are then responsible for moving the items to other Shelves for other enchantments. Floor Looms and spinning wheels can be placed for chanting WoA Getting your items enchanted is at your own risk! Other: Contact Oleonder or a Festival Staffer if you wish to be assigned a room. Do NOT Drive or leave your wagon/cart in the Community Workshop. (unless to drop off a large item for imping/chanting and immediately return it outside.) Do NOT abuse the system by bringing in a dozen items of the same type to get improved/enchanted.(this includes the same item made of a different material.)save for certain things like arrows or horseshoes. If that occurs the items are forfeit, confiscated, and fed to the beast of the deep or just sacrificed.Do NOT sell items that you've gotten improved/enchanted. The pro-bono work done here is not so you can make a profit, so if that is your intention you are not welcome here.Turn OFF your personal light sources like lanterns or torches! It helps with the lag. If you have any issues contact Oleonder or a Staffer ingame or on the Discord.

Posted May 25, 2021 Sounds like fun! I'll hopefully be able to help/provide some kind of imping service at that point. It's still a while until october, so I got some time to work on some skills! .. If nothing else, I currently have 41 soul depth to help apply some runes if you can't find anyone else with a higher SD by then ^^ (It's at least something a chef can help with, lol) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 12, 2021 Does peat quality matter for the 20,000 needed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2021 Quote Carving Knife, Sickle, and Scythe are Bladesmithing. While the carving knife blade, sickle blade and scythe blade are bladesmithing the completed tools use Weaponsmithing skill to improve. You may be underestimating the amount of sacrificial materials needed, at the recent Friendalong on Pristine a total of 718,000 favour was used. For the first Impalong on the Northern Isles my guess is a lot more than that will be needed. I can provide the 1000 wemp for you it's already in storage. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2021 Just seen this, great idea and will be more than happy to bring my 90+ channeling, benediction, lib priest as well as 90+ carp and fine carpentry imps 😃 I do think your underestimating the favour and think high QL cordage will be the way forward and will bring some 90QL+ to help get started 😃😃😃 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 27, 2021 are you expecting people to need sickle blades and carving knife blades imped? why is that? just forget the bladesmithing and say "carving knife, sickle and scythe are weaponsmithing" how big is the workshop? best for impalongs in my opinion is to make the building small enough that impers always count for the sermon of priests, without having to move. looking at your pictures im not sure if yours is. you say that you are still working on decorations, it may be a good idea to keep decorations to a minimum to avoid lag problems. do you have people on your staff from different time zones?(your list of staff members looks very short) remember other players live all around the world and will play at all times of the day and night in your timezone.others impalongs solve this by making players with good reputations who are attending and willing into staff too, to have better responses at all times. don't take this the wrong way if you have any of this problems i want you to solve them so the event works better.

Posted September 3, 2021 your libila sac category is a bit narrow. we can use any butchering product that isn't meat, feathers, pelts, or coal. so hides, fur, gland, tooth, heart, eyes, and so on all work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 27, 2021 Just out of curiosity, will there be a 2x2 (or bigger) fenced in area for hell horse carts/wagons to park? You can park the cart/wagon with the hellies sticking through inside of the 2x2 fenced area and they won't be attacking people walking by due to the fences. I mainly use a hell cart and I imagine some other people doing it too. Mostly wanna know if I should go mules or if I can go hellies for my cart 😛 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
