My Precioussss… #WurmOnline

Aside from exploring, one of my favorite things to do in Wurm Online is pillage. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not talking about stealing here, stealing is wrong. If you’re playing on the Freedom servers and you have to bash down a wall to get at something, you probably shouldn’t. Sure, there are technicalities that you can get around (you can technically bash down a fence if it’s not secured in a proper enclosure with at least a 1×1 house in plain view) but I prefer not to have to find loopholes in order to find treasure. Causing intentional grief to a player is never my idea of ‘fun’.

That doesn’t stop me from exploring and finding broken down ruins that have treasures just rotting away on the floor. Waste not, want not is one of Arkenor’s favorite sayings in alliance chat.

So it was that I found myself wandering, the sun had set and I stumbled into (quite literally) a broken down house. I noticed two forges, a coffin, a bsb, and a fsb. The forges provided me with 9 new frying pans which I eagerly claimed. Then my eyes settled on the coffin and the fsb. I’m always eager to collect more food stuff for myself (and the alts of course) and this one proved to be worth it. A few hundred cooked meat, some onions, and pumpkin enough to last me for a while. Turning my gaze to the coffin is where I found my greatest treasures. A handful of mid quality gems, and some very nice enchanted tools. I filled my large cart, took whatever I could in my inventory, and set out for home.

I repaired everything I took and was pleased that their quality was still excellent. I also found a container with 60 needles inside, they’re very easy to improve due to the small amount of iron they use, so I stored them safely away. It had been a while since I found such a treasure trove, some times I’m working on my own deed so much that I simply don’t have the time to wander off and explore. It’s always an exciting feeling to come back home with goodies. Deliverance is so small (and still relatively new) that finding treasures isn’t always that easy. I’m hoping for another cross server trip to see some new sights, I promised Moxie I’d come by and look at her Exodus deed, and I’d love to travel to Chaos some time. If only there were more hours in the day!

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

Rows of Fields, and a Lot of Dirt #WurmOnline

Yesterday was spent evening out my rows of farm. My farm still slopes and I love that, gives a great view from my house, but one end of the row would be 26 slopes from the other end, and that wasn’t going to do. Because I hit rock with 13 slopes still to go, I decided to raise the entire row. Thankfully I had some dirt stored up in my bsb and the extra I ‘borrowed’ from Moumix. I now have nice rows perfect for planting on. It used a lot more dirt than I had hoped, but I think it was worth it.

My Vynora priest has moved to the East Coast of Deliverance, a little deed called Kiyo. I split half of it with Moumix who has a non-priest there to handle the things my priest can’t do (like everything involving construction). The deed is cute, I’ve already got a little stone house to myself and some gardens to work on which is pretty much all my priest wanted aside from some trees and water. It’s a coastal deed, and the neighbours (so far) have been friendly. It feels a bit odd to be playing a character named ‘bigbadspell’ when my two other characters are Arysh and Stargrace, but because I purchased the character and there’s no rename ability, there’s not a lot I can do. A male character at that. Very little time (if any) is spent actually looking at my character so I don’t really mind. I’ll be posting screen shots of the little deed before too long, and I’ll probably make a video or two of the three places I spend most of my time at.

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