Stumbling Upon a Pillage Site (Pt.2)

stargrace May 11, 2023 No Comments

The next day I came by to put the rare (now unsecured) forge in my knarr, and I noticed that a second floor wall had finally fallen. Peering inside, my jaw dropped. There were so many bulk supplies stored up on this level of the building. I knew if I could just find a way to get them all back to my deed on Independence, I would be set for a very long time.

It took a few hours and some creative thinking, but in time we were able to get everything out of the fallen house (once a wall falls the permissions are no longer in effect) and slowly get things loaded onto the knarr and the corbita. There were thousands of bricks, an insane amount of food supplies, some mortar, wemp, cotton, and everything in between. We even found some gems and a few more tools.

I found a pretty nice rope tool, too. Rare, with some imbues, and 94ql. It doesn’t really get much better than that as far as tools are concerned.

This was my largest WO haul, and it was incredibly exciting. I’m also very glad to make use of the items instead of having them sitting around and decaying. It will help me towards my goal of completing Quail Landing, working my HFC (hot food cooking) and various other skills. All in all, I’m VERY glad I went to pick up those Capybara Sultanate items, I came back with even more than I could have dreamed of.

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

Stumbling Upon a Pillage Site (Pt.1)

While picking up my Capybara deed decorations I happened to notice this, pictured above. A house with heavy decay, all along the bottom floors. I recognized it as a deed I had visited in the past with Moumix (though I cannot remember why we were there) called Festival Spiritual Center, created by Festival in 2022. The deed disbanded due to lack of upkeep on April 28th 2023, which isn’t that long ago. Normally deeds that have houses tend to stick around for some time, but in this instance the house was made of very low quality wood, which decays incredibly fast.

The problem was I could only access the main floor of the fallen deed. The two doors along the front of the building were locked, and there was no other way to get upstairs. Peering through the windows I could see some bulk storage containers, but not much more.

The main floor had a rare forge along with some green chests filled with enchanted tools and weapons. A few bits and bobs, some furniture, all of which I decided to collect and bring back with me to Quail Cove. The forge was secured to the ground, but if items take enough damage they become unsecured, so Moumix volunteered to stay behind on an alt and bash the forge until it was freed. Meanwhile, I tried to figure out a way we could access the next level.

Outside of the building were 10 reindeer secured to the ground, a Christmas gift for players in previous years. We took care of those and I found a few horses I wanted to take back with me too. Over all, I was incredibly pleased with this initial haul, but I still really wanted to see what was upstairs. I figured I’d have to be patient, and wait for another wall or two to fall before we could enter upstairs.

Mystical Order of the RHR

I recently received a bit of mail in Wurm Online that spoke about the Mystical Order of the RHR, and how at public events we should locate our brothers/sisters and identify them by wearing our fancy hats. The note mentioned that we were chosen by the gods, and the whole event was shrouded in mystery and very awesome.

Reason #1138469565-J that I love Wurm Online. The community is top notch, and when you least expect it, you receive some mail.

It’s a Capybara Life for Me

It took some work, but I managed to get an exception made, and was granted 4 banners, 4 tall flags, 4 kingdom flags and a wagon for the Capybara Sultanate – one of the best PMK (player made kingdom) designs of all time. Of course I immediately decorated.

I love the colours and it inspired me to expand my kitchen (finally) and hopefully once I dig (a lot of) dirt, I can get a proper dock set up. As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

Quail Cove Lighthouse – COMPLETE!

It’s only 8 floors for now (I wanted to keep the colour scheme the same, and I can build 9 floors but I can’t build 10) but the lighthouse at Quail Cove is finally complete. I created a rendered stone brazier for the top, and improved it to 70ql. I love it, and I can see it some distance from the deed, which is great when I’m concerned about what I’m looking at, lol.

Next up is working on a new kitchen area, my 5 ovens are cramped and there’s no room to move around let alone have it looking as magnificent as it should. I’m planning to put it beside the temple, and fashion it like the other larger buildings, with stone base floors and timber framed for the higher levels. I’m sure I’ll remember to post screenshots when it’s completed (please don’t hold your breath, I will probably forget).

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