Posted August 20, 2012 Arrows no longer take half time to improve.Arrow Improve time is now at 12seconds.Arrow Shaft Creation 8.4seconds with 68ql carving knife.Arrow Shaft Creation 9.9seconds with 18ql carving knife.Arrow Creation 9.9seconds with 19ql war arrow head.Arrow Creation 9.6seconds with 26ql war arrow head.Recorded using 37fletching and 73carpentry.Coffin Improve time is at 12seconds./>http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2012Change was documented on Feb 17, 2012."Improving arrows now takes half time"Based on these proofs, the improve time of an arrow should be 6 seconds, or possibly 3 seconds due to creation timers having dropped significantly vs skill + ql tool.

Posted August 20, 2012 doesn't that mean it used to be 24 seconds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2012 Based on these proofs, the improve time of an arrow should be 6 seconds, or possibly 3 seconds due to creation timers having dropped significantly vs skill + ql tool.All improve timers are still 12 timers, so I don't see where you get the 3 seconds from.I understood the patch message more along the lines of it would take half as long to imp arrows because the QL increase per improve action was doubled.

Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) · Hidden by Enki, August 20, 2012 - not relevant Hidden by Enki, August 20, 2012 - not relevant I don't get why you're so angry. You just read too much into the way Rolf words his updates, which we all know is a bad thing to do. I understand you want to make yourself useful but please try to do it with actual bugs.Imping arrows is twice as fast as any other improving action. It takes 1 action whereas it would've normally taken 2. That is all. Edited August 20, 2012 by Wiro Share this post Link to post

Posted August 20, 2012 It says half time, not double rate.That is not per action, that is to improve to a certain QL as Wulfgar and others already pointed out.Improve from 10ql to 50ql takes half the time as before. For example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2012 Ok. So how do we know if the change is in place or has been reverted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2012 Either arrows have increased ql gain per imp or the timer on the improve action is supposed to be half the time. That is for the Dev's to decide now. This thread is locked to end the derailment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
