Posted July 18, 2021 I've spent over 3 hours building stone walls using sleep bonus and only gained .04 masonry (sub 80 skill) and next to no body stats. Would be nice to actually be rewarded for building walls instead of just sitting semi idle improving mine doors for skill. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2021 +1 Masonry gains from building stone bridges are even worse iirc. You'd think that activity would definitely build up skill. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2021 I found masonry gains when building bridges to be really good. House walls, fair. Perhaps the gains aren't very high once your Masonry skill approaches 80, but that's consistent with the idea that such work just isn't very challenging.

Posted July 18, 2021 sigh. Another complaint about something that benefits PvP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2021 i wouldnt mind this but its how Wurm works and i doubt it will change. Best skillgain = doin something useless. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2021 You could always grind it on your local PvP server instead. That way, PvP would get good minedoors at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2021 theres a shitload of things you can do for actual skill and stat gains but they just have to be within a reasonable difficulty range below your characteristics/skills Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2021 In my opinion the gains are fair... Got 98 masonry and only grinded SC. The rest came from towers, many bricks, houses and bridges, wich I think they give very good gains. Also know a bunch of peeps with +90 masonry... Really not a hard skill to raise. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 22, 2021 not talking about masonry skill in general, I'm talking about gains while building walls. I can be sweaty like everyone else and sit semi afk in a mine grinding on doors. I'm just specifically speaking about building stone house walls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 22, 2021 Isn't this really getting at 2 features of the skill system Creation actions give 1/3 of the skill of imping actions per unit time with some exceptions Skillgain chance is tied directly to success chance, if you success chance is too high you don't get skillgain Prayer has now been made an exception which is interesting on the 2nd point. Is this what you are after for building or removal of the 1/3 reduction or both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
