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.
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!
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.
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!
A good friend of mine told me about this adorable little game they had been playing (early access) called Swords ‘n Magic and Stuff (you can find it on steam). I checked out the steam page and wasn’t immediately drawn to it because my plate is already quite full with games, but I decided that the price point was pretty good, and why shouldn’t I check it out for a bit.
Adorable, is the first word that comes to mind. There’s a few races to select, and then a tutorial of sorts to work your way through. You can play with friends, create your own server, or use one of the ‘official’ game ones (a lot like ARK). There’s combat, housing, farming, and a number of other systems in place – it is created by a very small team (I believe it’s basically a two person team), but the bits I’ve played so far have been very relaxing and fleshed out. There’s quests and exploration and it was just a really nice break from the other games I’ve been playing.
