Posted May 19, 2011 How many times have you been parked in your boat, wondering which way the wind was blowing? How many times have you been on deed, and for some reason started to wonder what the wind was plotting at that moment? Weathervanes don't even need to be animated, they just could have a model. When examining the device it will say "A strong wind is blowing from the Southeast." Or, "A light breeze is coming in from the West." Weathervanes can be carried in the inventory, but they weigh 5.00 KG. They can also be placed on your deed. A Weathervane takes 20.00 KG of Iron, Copper, Lead, or Gold to make, and can be quite successfully made at 45% with a skill of 25 or higher in blacksmithing. No more getting frusterated finding the sweet spot for sailing your ship in, by examining your Weathervane, you'll always know. (If you have a compass.) Here's a picture of a Weathervane for those of you who live in caves made out of dirt and leaves. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x242/Secret_Walrus/dragon-weathervane-1.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 19, 2011 Currently, this is the function of flags (still broken and in need of a fix), also, clicking on weather will give you this info, without the need to carry anything else (no added weight). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 19, 2011 Offhand it would be an aesthetic alternative to flags. Could see lightning rods if weather ever steps over the line from pretty to ACT-OF-GOD!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
