Wurm Online – a LOT of Rifts

Wurm Online is one of my absolute favourite games of all time. I’ve been playing it for over 13 years on a fairly steady basis. I’ve never really done the whole skill grinding thing that so many others have done before me, but I do have a total of 5 characters, 4 of those are priests (one for each deity). I’ve been wanting to obtain a bracelet for myself that comes from rifts, this bracelet is charged up with energy so that the next “moi” (moment of inspiration) gives you a guaranteed rare item. Normally if you get an MOI there’s a chance the item you’re working with WON’T be rare. It sucks. It happens to me often.

I’m not even sure about what I want to use this item on yet, because there are so many options. My knarr? My wagon? A tent just to have it sparkle? Unsure. There are also 2 shoulders I want to purchase, dragon shoulder pads, they cost 1,000 rift points each. At the time of writing this, Faralithe, my Libila priest – has 1300 points (give or take). Stargrace is at around 500 points, but they don’t transfer between characters. I used to have a lot more points on Stargrace but I’ve purchased an item here and there.

Anyway. Right now I have Faralithe doing rifts (since they show up on each server I can attend them fairly regularly) and then Stargrace and three other alts are currently parked at a holy site, a mag fissure, on Exodus. This fissure spews archaelogy fragments into your inventory once an hour (so long as you’re premium) and I always try to attend them when I can. I’ve gotten some pretty interesting bits from doing it so far and it’s a lovely way to gear out the alts with good tools.

Anyway. I know I’ve been quiet lately, but I’m still here, still gaming, and occasionally posting. You can find me in Wurm Online as Stargrace, or Faralithe – happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

NaNoWriMo 2008 – winner

The final word count: 50775 words in one month. I’ll be posting this story online for people to read on my personal site once I go over it a tiny bit (and let things sink in). I have a more detailed post over here too. 

I owe a HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to The Office of Letters and Light, that motivated me to get this done (on time). I don’t claim that the story is amazing, or even good, but I’m proud of myself for finishing.
