Wait. Originally, the visual effects were only seen by players who were followers or priests of the deity that matched the holy site? Why was this changed? That sounds very immersive to me. Maybe it could be that you need 30 faith in any religion to see the effects. This way the visual effects becomes available when your character “sees the light”.

 

I'd assume because everyone thought it was a bug. It's reasonable to expect that the holy sites have visual effects that aren't just hallucinated by a select few.

 

FWIW, I think the effects are still not enough, but that's part of a wider gripe with Wurm's visuals. The skybox changes don't really make the holy sites stand out. They are divine artefacts, go nuts on the lighting effects.

 

(Though fixing lighting first should be on the agenda. Items shouldn't be lit from below when the sun is below the horizon. It looks extremely silly)

I thought I saw someone else questioning this somewhere as well but I can't find it to quote.  

Increased spawn rate of creatures from holy sites.

 

Is this tied to the power of the site?  I've seen 2 mobs spawn since the patch yesterday at 2 separate holy sites (a spider at a Fo site, which may have just been a natural spawn, and a angry gorilla at a mag site) which is actually less than had spawned the previous day.  The Fo site is completely cleared of corruption and crawling over 30 power, the Mag site is still having its week-long corruption removed (3 power/35ish corruption) and I have a character at each online all day.

we activated one like 20 hours ago, it spawned a sheep instantly, another one a few hours later and then no more. they're definitely not spawning more

To add to the lack of spawns, is there any chance people being in local of the site is stopping spawns? An active populated site hasn't seen any spawns while an abandoned one that i just checked has a considerable number of traited mobs

judging by the one we did on chaos (that we cleared every single other mob in local in case that prevented spawns) having nothing i would say no, they're probably pre-patch because it got worse after that

once we got mag site on cadence up to 70 power and over, we got all kind of gorillas spawn around regularly after pulses. Maybe the power of that site is not enough, we got traited gorillas, even a champ one.

[14:27:46] A mystical fountain whose waters quench curiosity as well as thirst. It has a benevolent aura. Power: 100.0, Corruption: 0.0.

 

Managed to max out the vynora well spring on release. The buff it gives seems profoundly underwhelming + there is no explanation to it how it actually works.

 

The description in status effect is "slight increase in rarity when improving" but what does it actually translate to? What is a 100 power buff from it? 1% chance? 10% ? 25%? Does the rarity buff for imping also affect affinity chance ? Is it valid for any types of items improved? Is it just for vyn followers or?

 

The mobs it spawns are just aquatic mobs so I guess for those that want a champ dolphin it's nice.
