The Most Magnificent Deed I’ve Ever Seen

stargrace May 6, 2023 No Comments

This deed captures exactly what I love about Wurm Online, and I can honestly say it is probably the most impressive build I have ever seen. It’s located on the Melody server (NFI) and is called Shimmering Sands Citadel. There is nothing I dislike about this deed except that I do not own it. The creator must have spent hundreds of thousands of hours building it. If you ever get a change to see it in person, I HIGHLY suggest checking it out.

Honestly, as I wandered around I didn’t even feel like I was in Wurm, it was just that impressive. I can’t wait to see if/when they decorate the interior. For now it is only the outside of the deed that has been build – and I also realize they’ve spent an incredible amount of time changing the outside of their buildings from sandstone brick to rendered stone. It is simple amazing.

Treasure Maps? We’ve Got Those

I wanted to be able to track the treasure maps me and Moumix have been completing, so of course we created a google doc for that. There’s two portions to it, once tracks the steps and locations of those steps, another tracks the rewards we’ve earned. I wanted to see just how random it was, and just keep track of what we’ve earned. Some maps reward fantastic treasures, others not so much. They seem fairly on-par with the quality of the map, though we have on occasion gotten a really fantastic low quality map, those moments are fairly rare.

At this time we’ve completed close to 40 treasure maps, most of them on the Indy server but a handful over on Deliverance since that’s where our priests hang out and earn their maps. I’m attempting to finish off an achievement that has me kill 50 ‘hidden’ mobs which only seem to come from difficult maps (60ql+) and I should be able to complete that today. I enjoy doing these maps, they’re a nice break from hanging out on deed and while I found them a bit frustrating at first, I haven’t come across any that were impossible to do. Now that I’ve said that I’ve probably cursed myself. I tend to save them up and then do a batch all at once which makes the time spent a bit more worth it. Going out for just a single map isn’t something that I tend to do. I haven’t gotten any truly amazing rewards yet, but I know they’re out there. There’s a coin purse you can use to keep money on you even if you die, and a water skin that will stay filled with water forever. That one would be incredibly handy considering I am always out of water on my adventures.

We have gotten a few crab statues, some cutlass, and a necklace, the rest has just been fairly mundane items that come with every map.

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

Big Plans

I know it’s really difficult to actually SEE anything in this picture, and honestly it feels like it’s always night time – but I swear, there’s a deed there. This is a picture of Quail Landing, my mainland deed that I created for access to highways and a place to drop off any pillage loot I happened to stumble across. I decided to take the village plan from deedplanner and create an enormous castle like city based loosely on another deed I had seen a screenshot of on the forums. I started out by using sandstone bricks and mortar that I had in stock already, and now I’m resupplying so I can continue. I’m excited about this project, I’ve never really designed deeds in Wurm Online before, and I think this one has the potential to be pretty interesting.

Last night there was a rift on the Independence server at around 7pm my time. Only 9 others showed up, but we managed to close the rift, and earned a nice handful of rift materials too. Rifts are every 9 days (approx) per server, and spawn around the same time that the previous one was closed. I probably won’t be able to attend the next rift as it happens fairly late my time, but it was nice to participate. I’m hoping to save up for a piece of rift jewelry, or maybe some shoulder pads.

My priest, Faralithe, is still over on the Deliverance server doing sermons. She has hit 70 faith, and I’m trying to stick around for as long as I can tolerate it so I can raise her faith as much as possible. Unfortunately my patience is pretty thin and I find it stressful to make sure I’m paying attention every 3h to complete my sermon. I think if she can reach around 80 faith that might be enough for me for now. I still keep hoping that some day my NFI character will be able to join my SFI character. I don’t even care about any of my tools or items. I just want to be able to make use of my Libila priest.

Next? I’ve been working on completing a light house over at Quail Cove! It’s magnificent, and I can’t wait to show off some screenshots of it. I’m currently working on the 4th floor, there will be a total of 8 floors. I’m going to add a marble brazier to the top, and once that’s completed I’ll take some screenshots. Fingers are crossed that it comes out looking as I’ve imagined.

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

Quail Cove – Lighthouse construction begins

It may not look like much yet, but the construction has started on my lighthouse! Moumix finished terraforming the top tier of my deed, hacking away at the mountainside until it was flat so I could build up there. I love having a bit more useable deed space, and I have to say I’m pretty excited about this structure. Sadly, it requires a LOT of bricks and mortar (20 bricks and 20 mortar per wall) but it will only be 8 floors high + roof, so it shouldn’t be too bad. I will post some screenshots once it’s fully completed.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
