Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Today marks 16 years since the fateful day I first entered Wurm. I am not the oldest player here, but, I have enjoyed every day I have been able to play Wurm. The community here is one of, if not, the best in all of the MMO space. Because of that, I wanted to give back. And what better way to do that giveaway free money? Of course, I'm not going to make it easy, much like my first years spent in Wurm, it was a challenge. So I have devised a treasure hunt. In total, there is 16s scattered across the server in small chests made by me. Inside is a note saying it is my treasure and to post where you found it. If nobody finds the treasure, I will start releasing hints, but that is entirely up to my discretion. Here is what they look like: Now, Happy Hunting! - Felthanne / Kaufecake, CA UPDATE: On Wednesday morning, I will be releasing hints. And every few days after that, I will be releasing more and more information. Hint 1: Chest 1 - General direction of N by NW from my home upon thee here fragrant lavender dances in a hush, within its branches, a chest conceals your secret plush. Chest 2 - General direction of W from my home where branches weep and leaves sway free, the hidden chest within the willow tree, a secret waits for you to find, beneath the drooping boughs of a timeless kind. Chest 3 - General direction of NW from my home in a lavender bush, where perfume lingers and blooms blush, unravel the riddle to find a chest within nature's crush. Chest 4 - General direction of N from my home where walnuts fall, your quest does start, in a tree so tall, the chest's a work of art. Chest 5 - General direction of N by NE from my home amidst the mountain's towering might, a tree conceals a chest from sight, in riddles steeped in nature's light. Hint 2: Chest 1 - Somewhere within 3 Map Squares of Sonata. Chest 2 - Found by Gingeko on Oct. 13. Chest 3 - Somewhere within 3 Map Squares of The Great Wick Enclave. Chest 4 - Somewhere within 3 Map Squares of Buske's Cove. Chest 5 - Somewhere within 3 Map Squares of Red HQ. Hint 3: Chest 1 - On a lavender bush tile, near steppe. Chest 2 - Found by Gingeko on Oct. 13. Chest 3 - On a lavender bush tile, near tar. Chest 4 - In a tree, in the middle of a forest. Chest 5 - In a tree near rock.

Chest 4 - Found by Idea on Oct. 22. Chest 5 - Seek the base, where the peak does rise, A hidden chest beneath the skies. But to find my treasure, you must know, Where the mountain's roots do grow.
