[WoW] Gold Wrap Up (Week 29, 2026)

OK so I know the graph looks bad – but I did make some nice changes this week that should pay off long term when it comes to my gold making. I had been posting on my 10 ‘best’ servers for some time now, but decided to swing back to posting across 20 servers instead. This of course means a bigger time investment, but I think it’s a good thing.

The last day on the chart shows this pretty clearly, I made over a million gold on that day alone from sales. Of course I also restocked my characters (it was well past time) so that helped.

What sold? A lot of recipes, and even one of my many expert fishing books. I have so many of those, I’m not even sure if I’ve sold one before.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this pays off, and hopefully I’m able to keep it around 1h30m of ‘work’ each day, the reason I cut out those extra servers initially was because I simply was not making enough gold to warrant the investment of time. Gold making ebbs and flows though, so we’ll see how it goes.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

[WO] Goals

In Wurm Online there is a journal that is meant to help guide you a little bit, giving you increasingly better rewards until you get to ‘end game’ and in this case, that means Destinations Unknown.

There are people who have been playing far less than me (time wise) who have this achievement, and the Master cape that goes along with it – but me, well. As you can tell by the screenshot above, I’m pretty far from this illustrious goal. That being said, it IS a goal I’d like to pursue.

I headed off to an alliance deed yesterday because they have a communal large magic chest filled with recipes that one can use in order to obtain 500 total, as long as you replace what you scribe – so that was the first thing I set off to do. Then I spent most of the day working on my mining, which I am hoping will be my very first skill to 99. In Wurm Online skills rise in difficulty, it can take just as long to get from 1-98 as it does just to get 99. Getting to 100 in a skill is a multi year endeavour. In my 20 years of playing I have a single 90+ skill but honestly that comes as no surprise just due to the way I play.

The goal is to slowly pluck away at these goals, in specific the rift and mission and mob kill ones. I’ve done a lot of rifts but they were on a priest character, not my main. That one will take me some time. Well, they will all take me some time, but hey, it’s good to have goals.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

[WO] Friendship Bay – Day 3

Day 3 was filled with more adventures, me once again hanging out by the weapon smithing forge most of the day, chattering with people in local, and watching the events. I am starting to feel a bit drained from all of the people, there were over 100 in local today and I think I will probably head home soon and have a little cool down time before the week begins.

I did also manage to grab 3 named animals from an arena event that went on, that is always a lot of fun. Two cows, and a sheep. I tried to also get a ram, but I only have 3 creature crates on my knarr, so 3 will have to do. Not that I need any more animals.

When I get back to my regular play servers I hope to complete my 500 recipes scribed (alliance is helping out with this one) and then I want to focus on getting closer to my Master Cape, and destination unknown. I imagine it will take me quite some time to get there – but it’s something I’ve always wanted to accomplish. It’s basically ‘wurm endgame’ if there was such thing.

Someone gave me some sleep powder for helping to imp, which was lovely. Some other people got tickets to enter for prizes, I did not get any of those but that’s OK. I know I tend to keep to myself, and just do my own thing.

Any way. It has been lovely, but I am ready for home.

[WO] Friendship Bay – Day 2

Games galore. There was fish slap, human dart, horse races, fishing, and all sorts of other fun things going on. I decided to stick close to the forges, and worked on my weapon smithing skill – that’s the great thing about impalongs, you can work on your skills and all of the materials and supplies are free. The gains were not great, but considering I didn’t use sleep bonus or moonshine, they were not too bad. I am hoping to focus on working this skill once the impalong is done – ideally I’d like to reach 80 WS. Right now I am at 65. I’d also like to work towards getting my cape from journal completion, but we’ll see how that goes. It requires… a lot. Even for me.

Chiqqa came around and passed me some sleep powder as a thank you for working at the impalong (thank you!) and I loaded up on some awesome pizza to keep myself full. My Fo priest is currently working on channeling, you need over 70 to cast on other peoples items, and right now she is at 58, so she cannot help out (yet). I’m not really interested in the competitions or prizes (though there are some incredible ones this year) but I am having fun talking to others and just watching the events take place.

One prize I would love to win, is a dye kit from Sidereal. I’ve ‘known’ them for a very long time, and with 100 natural substance skill, they are the best in the business. In the meantime, it’s just lovely to hang out with everyone and see why Wurm is so great.

[WO] Friendship Bay Summer Impalong (2026)

This year is the 9th year that the Friendship Bay Summer Impalong has been taking place – and I’m once again attending (and so happy to be here). I sailed to Pristine with Stargrace (my main) and Faralithe (my Fo priest) way too early, but that’s OK, there were already a bunch of other people around, waiting for things to get started. A sea serpent tried to take a bite out of us as we sailed past, too. Rude!

Impalongs are a time honoured tradition in Wurm Online. They’re player run events where you get gear / weapons and tools, etc improved by players who have skills higher than your own. It’s perfect for newer players. If you’re a veteran player or you happen to have some great skills, you can work on improving other peoples items, and give back to the community that way. There’s also contests and competitions that have evolved over the years, and neat prizes that can be won. This year I noticed there are some dye kits that I would absolutely love to get my hands on.

It runs for 5 days, and I imagine I will try to stick around for its entirety. My priest is already at 100 faith, but I’m trying to work on her channeling. It’s slow. Very slow. I’ve left my other priest (Vynora) back home to take care of things while I’m away. I imagine there will be a post or two coming in the future about my adventures here, right now there are 16 others wandering around, and we’re still a few hours from the actual start.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.
