Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Welcome to the 5th Lunalong Greetings friends, I cordially invite you all to the fifth Luna-a-long. Hosted by Dracaa (myself) on my deed named Kappa, on the Xanadu server, at coordinate Q-15. This is my fifth time hosting an impalong. I've been working on this every year. And I have new builds each year. With work in real life only slowing me down and another move and health issues. I'm proud to say though, that my impalong is almost ready. It will be this December 9th to the 19th. I hope to have the boat docks and many more things finished and ready to explore, there will be a few small events, and all the imping madness you've come to expect from events like this. This well be Dec 9th 10am GMT-4 Deed History Spoiler So why name kappa? The name Kappa has a history though I don't know all of it in this game. It means a few things to me. I have learned that it was a huge clay pit before someone started working it to a little town. Which was a small 30 by 60 deed at the time. I also learned that the person who made the deed was naming it after a creature in a game. Though the source didn’t know what game. I like to think it was my favorite game Harvest Moon. I also learned that, “Kappa” are demons that loves cucumbers and are very weird but funny story behind them. It's my Wurm home I bought from another player who later became a great friend. Over the 5 years I had Kappa. I have became a caretaker of her. But she grow up to a great deed of 63 by 252. She is able to take care of many people and even many animals with no issues. Why a Lunar Festival? In real life, I love the moon ever since I was a little girl. In Wurm there are few moons each one special in its own right. In Harvest Moon, there are seasonal festivals every month and one of my favorites was the lunar festival. So instead of linking it with Halloween, or Christmas, and since it happens in November, in the USA we have Thanksgiving, but all those holidays get a lot of stuff for them anyway. My dear friend Leander and I were brainstorming one night, and he said something about the moon or create something individual and this is what we got. I love it too. And hope you all love it too. Though this year its in December. I well still call it a Luna-a-long. This year well be more Christmas theme if I can. The Deed Kappa is a lovely lakeside deed very well equipped to handle many participants there are merchants, hotel rooms, a cathedral for sermons, direct sea access via a canal. The impalong building is a three-story building with plenty of equipment and containers full of mats ready to help your imping. Token Gazebo Spoiler You can found it on the topside of Kappa to the north of the main golden mine door of Undercity. The Inns Easy Inn is found topside very north part of Kappa. Its facing the lake and between Union st. and Wheeler St. Sailor's Rest is found in the Undercity just east off the docks. Extra Stalls These stalls are found on the north east side of Kappa. Pegasus Stables are found next to the Lunalong building in the Undercity. Impalong info Spoiler But what is a Luna-a-long? The simple answer is it’s an Imp-a-long. "but I'm new to Wurm, what is an imp-a-long?" you say, well my friend Shrimpiie defines it perfectly. he explains it as "A community event that's hosted on someone's deed, where crafters and priests from across Wurm join together to improve/enchant others gear for free. 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 Impalong-goers." Discord and Twitch All is welcome to join my Discord server at https://discord.gg/Sgwztv5b. This is the Dragon Kitty Server. I also be streaming though out this lunalong as well. So you can find me on here when I’m streaming. There is a channel for the lunalong just get on there and you can talk to other fellow impers and get the latest scoop on the events. If you want to watch what’s going on follow me on twitch https://twitch.tv/dracaa. I let people know on my discord and wurm online discords when I going to stream. Extra helpful notes There are lamp posts that are renamed the street they are on. If you get lost let the staff know what lamps you see and they can help you get to where you wanted to go. Rules Item Placement: Rename your items with your name before placing them into improvement/casting coffins, shelves or forges! Please be sure to place your item in the right named coffin, shelves or forge. Pick up your finished item as soon as possible to make space for new items. If space is running short, Impalong staff will move finished items to "Overflow" shelves. This is on the 1st floor to the east side of the building. If placed there you will need to contact Impalong staff in order to get your items. Carving Knife, Sickle, and Scythe are Weapon smithing. (Cooking) Knife and Leather Knife are Blacksmithing. New fishing rods are Fine carpentry. Legacy rods are Carpentry. Fishing Reels are Jewelry Smithing.. The deep water reel is Blacksmithing. There are dyes. To get something Dyed place the item with your name and the number off the barrel you want the dye color to be. Like if there is a black and the barrel number is 16 put "Dracaa 16" and it well get dyed as soon as I or a staff can get to it. To know what a color is open the barrel the dye name well be in the color of its dye. Since this is a charitable event intended to bring the community together, bad actors motivated by greed are not welcome to continue to take advantage of the generosity and kindness of the participants. For those reasons, we will not invite you to attend in the future. Improvements/Enchanting: Items will be improved to 70ql at the discretion of the of the imper. If you want higher you can pm the imper and ask as long there isn't a backlog of items to be imped. Only items that are 70ql+ will be enchanted on, or if named to be a skiller items. Place your items into the coffin labeled with the enchantment you want. You have to move them to the next coffin if you want another enchantment on them. Target cast well be 70. If something needs to be dispelled please talk to a priest. they can not pick up items and to dispel they must hold item. Do this at your own risk. DO NOT PLACE IN ALTARS!!! They get sac and you lose it. Getting your items enchanted is at your own risk! Items can break in the process of being enchanted. Sermons: Don't sermon without being in the sermon group chat in-game. Sermon when it's your turn. Be sure to post your sermon tic and the list updated for the next sermon. For example [17:33:12] Faith increased by 0,1 to 52,5451 The next sermon will be at 31 minutes after the last faith/preaching tick For example xx:04 Dracaa, Kogawolfjf, Lunalong, Whiteivy, Runninghorse, Lunadark If you miss your turn to preach by being 5 minutes late, the next person in line will be asked to take your spot. You be next in line again and an asterisk is next to your name. Someone will need to be sure they pm the person 5 m ins before their turn to be sure they are aware of their turn. For example xx:09 Kogawolfjf, Dracaa*, Lunalong, Whiteivy, Runninghorse, Lunadark If you don't do your turn again there be a pm sent stating that you were removed from the list and you can get back on when you come back. For example xx:46 Lunalong, Whiteivy, Runninghorse, Lunadark, Kogawolfjf, (Open) If there are less than 6 players active then there be Open spots that other new players can join in. If you know you will be AFK until your next sermon, please let the team know so that they can put brackets around your name so they are aware you're AFK. For example xx:17 Whiteivy, Runninghorse, Lunadark, Kogawolfjf, (Open), (Lunalong) If your turn comes up and you AFK and you have been pm 5 mins before and pm that you missed your turn the 1st time. you get an asterisk by your name. For example xx:20 (Lunalong)*, Runninghorse, Lunadark, Kogawolfjf, Dracaa, Whiteivy After the second miss you have a pm telling you. that you missed again was dropped. if someone is dropped and the list gets moved 30 mins ahead. to let everyone know there be a plus in front of their name. each plus is a 30 min jump ahead. For example xx:51 +Runninghorse, +Lunadark, +Kogawolfjf, +Dracaa, +Whiteivy, Lunalong You get a pm that your time was bumped up 5 mins before your sermon is now. if you don't respond then after the 5 min after the sermon time the next person can go. they to well be pm to when it is close to that time. then the person will lose the plus but not gain a asterisk. For example xx:22 Runninghorse, +Kogawolfjf, +Dracaa, +Whiteivy, Lunalong, Lunadark There be a sermon group on the discord as well. So if you go to work or have to be gone for an extra-long time you can keep an eye on it and let them know there too. This is not a requirement just an extra tool for you to use. I be working on some timesheets to but they are not hammered out yet. This method allows the fairest way to allow people to participate even if someone has to leave for work or goes to bed, (s)he can calculate when his / her next sermon(s)are up and make sure (s)he's there. Other: Do NOT bring a dozen items of the same type to get improved/enchanted. You can bring a quiver of arrows or 4 horseshoes to be improved/enchanted. Do NOT sell items that you've gotten improved/enchanted here. If we hear you have done that you won't be welcome the next year impalong. Please turn off your personal light sources like lanterns, torches, and glow rings or things with a glow on it! It helps with the lag for everyone else. Do not use the imping mats to make things. Ask in local or Dracaa for lower ql mats to do so. If you have any issues contact Dracaa in-game or on the forums. There will be a sermon group so please ask to get in. there is a sermon every 30 mins if you try to sermon without it being your turn it well not give you a full tick and well mess up the sermon times. So be sure to get in the list and wait your turn.

Posted July 10, 2022 This is going to be updated and worked on still. I see there is an issue with the hidden contents but when I edit it I can't see why it's doing that. But I work on it more as time goes on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2022 I will be making it again to the infamous Lunalong. Love this impalong every year. As always, I have blacksmithing, weapon smithing, plate smithing, carpentry, leather working, cloth tailoring, masonry. Also am working on a 100 HFC and Bev grind so there might be the possibility of providing Khavesi or helping @Morrowencook Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2022 I’ll be there again this year. This time with 70+ in all imping categories! Will also be bringing a Fo and Vyn priest for casting! See you there!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2022 Count me in! 70+ in: fine carp, carp, masonry, tailoring and blacksmithing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2022 It will be nice to attend a large Impalong after being gone so long. I can bring Ship Building, FC and Carp skills for sure. Working on LW as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Nice! Will try to join in on this, can imp pretty much anything put me up for blacksmith, fine carp, carp, shield smith, plate armour smith, and can bring 90+chan fo, vyn and lib if needed.

Posted July 13, 2022 Count me in! I will be doing my usual Leatherworking and Pottery, but I may also bring my masonry/stone-cutting tools, if need be. See you there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Will enjoy attending again, even more so since I'll be able to easily hop back and forth between Kappa and my deed this year. I'll happily do more blacksmithing, stone cutting, and whatever else needs a hand lent. One small suggestion: Perhaps less particle generating objects this year? I had a terrible time with lag last year, at times, until I resorted to digging into deep settings to disable particle effects. Unfortunately, this sort of tampering leaves other things and characters looking quite strange. Edited July 27, 2022 by Avaxas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 30, 2022 I may be there, but for imping only. Considering the last two years were a dissaster when it comes to sermoning, my priestess remain home.yes, I'm still very angry about that! Thorin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
