[WO] Destination Unknown – Next!

I decided to take a chance, and posted to the forums that I was looking for a set of enchanted scale to borrow for my journal update. I had a lot of people get back to me saying they could help me out, including Brattygirl (someone who is often right there to help if I need it) and Xallo – since both Xallo and I were on at the same time, I promtly took them up on the offer and marked one more task off of the list.

I also attended a Rift on the Independence server, and worked a few missions that I was able to squeeze in. Progress is slow, but I think if I just keep plucking away at it I should be able to obtain my cloak. I do regret only bringing my Libila priest to rifts for the past few months, but honestly I’ve just never been much of a min / max player, and that’s OK. I’m really hoping I can get my cloak within the next year (so sometime in 2027) and I would consider that a win. The thing is my interest will probably wane as it always does and I will lose all of this awesome motivation. For now though. Onward!

[WO] Destination Unknown – Update

I know I already wrote about Destination Unknown, basically the ‘end game’ quest journal entry for Wurm Online but I have been plucking away at this for about a week now and I thought I’d do a little update. Some things will move very slowly – for example slaying 20,000 creatures and helping with missions (and rifts) those are things I can’t just instantly go out there and do.

However, I was pretty close to being able to complete the ‘build a 10 story building’ one, so I set off to do that. I had 77 carpentry, and I needed 83 in order to build 10 floors, so that is what I worked on first. I opted to work on fine carpentry which is a subclass of carpentry, so I earned around 30 points in total while imping rope tools, and at the same time my carpentry started going up.

Once I hit 83 I added two floors to my lighthouse over at Quail Cove, and the task was completed.

I did also manage to attend two rifts this week, and hope to be able to continue on with that (attending two or three a week) until I inevitably get burned out. I’m running with it while the motivation is there.

I’m also attempting to get those 6 higher quality treasure maps so I can complete that one, so far I’ve gotten 6 maps this week but none of them are the quality that I need.

Here’s hoping I get someone interested in lending me their scale gear, too.

[WO] Onward to the Next Goal

I started the week with 83 mining, and finally managed to push it to 90+ so that I can slowly begin the grind of reaching 99. It will take me a few months, every time you level up it takes more and more time, but I’m glad to at least have reached this goal. It took approximately 9,000 slate shards mined to reach 90, and now I want to turn all of those into bricks so that I can use them on the castle I am building over on Deliverance. I have my priest character making bricks at the moment, it gets her some skills and keeps the character busy.

The next goal I’d like to complete is to build a 10 story building. I think I am almost done this one, I do have a lighthouse that is (I believe) 7 floors at the moment. I already have the skill to accomplish this (you need 83 masonry to reach 10 floors so long as they are stone). The rest of the goals I’ll have to pluck at over time, especially missions and rifts. There is a rift tomorrow on the Deliverance server that I hope to attend, we’ll see how that goes.

All in all, I’m pretty pleased with my cape progress so far, and as long as I am making little movements towards it, I’m confident that I’ll get there in time.

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

[WO] Mining.. Mining.. More Mining..

I’ve been plucking away at my cloak progress – and the main thing I’ve been working on so far is trying to get a single skill to 99. I’ve opted to go with mining because it’s something that I can use for my other skills, and something that is fairly simple in nature so long as you have ore nodes around.

I started the week at 83 mining and at the time of this post I am just over 88. I am hoping to reach 89 mining tomorrow, and then of course begins the long (long) journey to 90+.

In the meantime I’m also working on my meditation (I recently hit 60) trying to inch that closer to 70. My priests have been making bricks (so many slate bricks) and working on a few skills of their own. Hopefully before I know it, I’ll have 99 mining (hah) and be able to move on to a new task.

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.
