Tag: Wurm Online

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.

Moumix reminded me that there was a dragon slaying taking place on release, but for some reason my mind saw that as a drake* slaying, and I assumed we’d be getting a piece of leather instead of a piece of scale. It was a pleasant surprise when I noticed the scale. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to keep it or sell it, I have a set of drake that I finally finished not too long ago (even if it is all sorts of colours combined) but I am very far away from ever owning a scale set. I think I might have enough scale at this time to create a single glove.

That IS how I managed the drake set, little pieces here and there until I completed the set. It took me a number of years, so I’m not exactly confident that I’ll get a scale set any time soon. It might be better to just sell the scale, and use it for other items.

Anyway. There were about 300 people in local, which seems fairly regular for these types of events. Afterward I took my characters back to Deliverance, where I’ve been working away on my deed. I need approximately 3,000 more bricks and mortar, and I am all out of slate so that means I need to do some mining. In the meantime, to procrastinate, I’m working on my leatherworking. I just reached 80 skill, and I am trying to push for 90. Then it will be time to continue the push in weapon smithing. I believe I’m at 60 right now, but I’d like that skill to be closer to 90, too. Unfortunately it is a very annoying skill to work on.

Then there’s meditation. I’ve got 60 skill right now, but I’d love to be closer to 70. None of these skills are ‘hard’ per say, they just take time. A lot of time.

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

I’m currently out of slate bricks, so I have to spend a few days mining, and then a few days making bricks, and then come back to my deed and continue building the structure that will house my priests. I want this deed to be functional, and so far that seems to be working just fine. I want things for priests to do (they cannot imp, but they can create) to skill up, while they pray and obtain maps.

I also went back to Independence and grabbed all of my PMK banners to put on display here. I have the capybara collection at my main deed on the Independence server, the flags on display at my 2nd place on Indy, and now the banners on display here. Gives it a little bit of colour, and I like the look of it.

How much longer until the whole thing is built? I imagine it will take a few more months yet, unless I buy bricks from someone, which isn’t out of the question.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

When I started Wurm Online back in 2010, I lived on the Deliverance server. It was a great place, but as the years went on I started feeling like it was a bit small for me. I moved around, living pretty much every server in the SFI cluster and eventually 6 years ago I settled down on Independence, which is where my main deed is (and remains today) along with my secondary deed. The thing is, the Independence server is HUGE, and I’ve never really enjoyed running treasure maps on that server.

So when Moumix started talking about his Deliverance get away, I decided to take a peek and see if I could find anything that suited me.

Turns out, the perfect location (for me) happened to be open. If I sail straight South from my deed on Independence, I end up at this island on Deliverance. It had been undeeded for only 4 days, and so I decided right then and there to claim Quail Point.

I decided it would be a sort of ‘holding’ deed, for my priests. That I could leave them here to pray and spam treasure maps, and I could decide if maps were worth it for me, and if I enjoyed doing them over here any more than on Independence. So far I’ve collected almost 20 maps, but I haven’t actually made a run to complete them – yet. Instead I’ve been working on building the deed up. I want it to be a castle rising from the water. Unlike my main deed, this one is not really for things like farming or animal husbandry. Instead I wanted it to be a safe haven to hang out in for my priest characters.

On that same note, I actually joined an alliance over on Deliverance. I have not belonged to one for many MANY years, preferring to keep to myself. It’s very nice to see chatter happening, and to make some new friends. I’m also trying not to rush forward and just take my time and let things come naturally. In any case, lots of building is happening, gaining lots of skills, and I’m having a blast playing (as I always do). Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of Wurm Online and part of the celebrations included a get together on the SFI islands (Independence, in specific) while there is an NFI gathering today (that I expect will surpass the numbers we saw yesterday). The dev team was there to guide us through some events – including the first time we’ve ever seen a PURPLE dragon. We all got a bit of purple scale and drake from this unique, which we could then combine into a larger piece and make armour from – and yes, the armour is in game, and it is VERY purple and awesome looking.

Unfortunately I do not own enough scale or drake to have a set of this made, I do not even have enough of the basic colours to own a set, but it has always been a goal of mine “one day”.

The event was fun, it included the slaying, building some monuments, a game of musical chairs, and even a fashion show. I know putting on things like this can be difficult and time consuming, so a huge thank you to the team for organizing it.

Afterward, I took my priest characters to the Magranon fissure currently active on the Independence server, while Stargrace went off to Deliverance. Now, Deli is where I started my Wurm Online adventures, all those years ago. I moved to various servers after that, until in 2020, when I settled on the Independence server – and I’ve been there ever since. My Wurm bestie, Moumix, has a deed on Indy but also started one up on Deliverance and I thought it might be nice to see if I could find a casual place nearby too.

So yesterday after all of the events were done I sailed around, looking for the perfect spot for a deed (that wasn’t too far from my place on Independence) and I actually found it.
