2021

Books!

My kindle is usually not too far from my side, but I decided to pick up some physical books with an Indigo gift card that I got for Christmas. I can’t actually remember the last time I purchased a physical book for myself, it has been that long. I’m excited about the ones I grabbed – and then I also grabbed a few digital books while I was at it. Right now I’m reading The Alchemyst by Michael Scott which was recommended by a friend. I also picked up Altered Carbon, which came very highly recommended.

I’ve always been big on reading, but since the kids were born it has gotten harder to make time for it. In 2021 I want to make sure I keep up with it as much as I can, so I’ve set a tentative goal of 20 books. 50 would be even better, but let’s see how I manage.

Stills? STILLS!

I’m trying to find stills in abandoned deeds so I can open up a huge production line for alcohol in game – but it seems like people don’t actually own too many of them! I’ve found two so far. I might have to actually (ugh) craft some…

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Quail Cove – Completed (mostly)

It took some time, but my main deed is now ‘mostly’ completed. I say mostly because I haven’t done much with the volcano yet, and there are still two smaller areas behind the town along the Northern edge that require some work. Thanks to help from Moumix and some supplies from Takah, all the buildings and bridges are done. The towers are complete, and I leveled the farm area and rebuilt the entire thing. There are more pens, more fields, orchards, and it all looks incredible. I couldn’t be happier about this. Now maybe it’s time to work on my next project a bit – Quail Plaza. This is going to be a shopping boulevard type area, and I’m excited to show you all my ideas.

A Pillaging We Go..

After spending most of the week on my deed completing a few remaining buildings and then trying to get a rare steel carving knife for Moumix, I was feeling stir crazy and I decided to go exploring. Not far from my deed, across a bridge to the West I stumbled upon a pile of treasures just laying on the ground! They must have dropped out of a chest that had decayed.

While to most people the list of items will not see that impressive, for Wurm players a few pieces stand out. The dragon scale, and the dragon hatchling drake were really nice finds. I also found a rare dredge to add to my collection of ‘all the things rare’. Not one of my best finds, but still nothing to complain about by any means.

There’s a whole lot of deeds that are over the 90 day mark and I keep waiting to see if they’re going to be disbanded any time soon, but it looks like most of them are pushing on to the 6 month mark. I think that’s a shame, especially on Novus where land is quickly eaten up by large deeds, but I’m sure returning players appreciate having their stuff still around.

Me, I’m still rebuilding. I’ve gotten a few handy pieces back, but finding everything I used to own has been difficult. I did manage to find a HotA statue which is excellent because mine is gone. Next I’m hoping to buy a large magic chest, to keep items safe.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
