Greetings Wurmians! Todays update is a little bit of a bittersweet one, marking the end of official content support for Wurm Unlimited. Over the past four years we've introduced many new features and shared many things. It's no secret that the mods brought to Wurm have made the game far more than we have with the vanilla version, and this update makes a few things easier for them to implement mods, both mechanics, client AND graphical. We'll continue to work with modders and address any major issues raised and of course, Wurm Unlimited is still on the store and we will still be supporting those with questions, technical issues and the like. With that said, these notes include a guide on how to create a resource pack, easy addition of mods (just place them in the mods folder!) We'd also like to thank ago for giving us permission to integrate his moad loader, as well as those who worked on it and provided updates to it as well. Wurm Unlimited wouldn't be the game it is without you all, and we deeply thank you for that. And as always, Keep on Wurming!

Added agos modloader to the server and client.

• You can now, as previously using the modloader, put mods in mods folder in both server and client files. You can find mods at https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/259-mods/
• Installing mods is at your own risk and can contain potentially dangerous code, make sure to verify their origins prior to using them.

Added user resource packs

• You can place resource packs in userpacks folder in the main game directory.
• Resource packs can contain new or replacement textures, models and sounds.
• How to create resource packs: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/173260-wu-resource-packs-creation-and-usage/

This debuff is applied based on how much health is healed on the target, and will reduce all further healing on the target from any of the listed healing sources based on how much time remains on the debuff. The maximum time is about 20 minutes, and the reduction scales linearly from that mark. For example, if you have 10 minutes on your healing resistance, youll receive heals at 50% effectiveness.
• Cure Light - Now heals 15% + up to 5% more based on cast power. Previously healed 15%. Target of the cast now gets an on screen message stating that their wound was healed. Range increased from 1 tile to 3 tiles. Can now be cast on a creature and will automatically target their highest severity wound.

• Nolocate - No longer able to be cast on creatures/players. Utilizes Locate Resistance.
• Lurker in the Dark - Now has a maximum radius of 100 tiles. This is reduced by up to 50 tiles based on the highest equipped Nolocate jewelry of a player. This is reduced again to 25 tiles when its a stealthed player.

Locate Resistance

• When located successfully by another player, you obtain Locate Resistance with a duration based on the highest Nolocate power jewelry you have equipped. This resistance prevents you from being located by any player until it expires. At 100 nolocate, this duration is 5 minutes. Being located by other players in your kingdom will not apply a cooldown, even if you have Nolocate.
• If the casted locate spell does not beat your nolocate (the power is lower than your jewelry), the Locate Resistance is not applied and the locate spell fails. The locate spell will still receive a cooldown.
• The messaging is identical whether you resist a locate due to having a higher nolocate power or have Locate Resistance. This means players cannot know for certain whether you are resistant or whether their specific cast did not defeat the threshold required.

Hi Everyone, This update brings several major things including updates to our archaeology system, animal cages, and the ability to place items on tables. We've also removed PvP centric personal goals, making the system much easier to get into, full details below. This update also brings a new distributed JRE version 1.8u172

Changes and Additions:

Archaeology changes:

• Archaeology items can now be found in all metal types:
  • If you investigate and find a metal fragment that is NOT ore or a lump, it'll get the "metal" material.
  • If the fragment you found would have had the steel material (instead of iron), it'll get the "alloy" material instead.
  • Any existing iron fragments can be combined with metal fragments (they will be converted to "metal" material when you start the combine action.
  • Same deal with steel and alloy fragments.
  • When you complete an item from fragments of the metal material, the final item will have a chance to become any base metal type (iron, tin, lead, gold, silver, copper, zinc) depending on how well identified the fragments were - heavily weighted towards iron.
  • When you complete an item from fragments of the alloy material, the final item will have a chance to become any alloy metal type (steel, brass, bronze) depending on how well identified the fragments were - heavily weighted towards steel.
  • If alloy fragments are extremely well identified, upon combining they will have a small chance to come out as a moonmetal (seryll, glimmersteel, adamantine) - though steel is more likely again.
  • "metal" material fragments can only be combined with other "metal" fragments, and "alloy" material fragments can only be combined with other "alloy" fragments.
• New:  You can now create an archaeological journal to help record your investigations. ( Special thanks to Wurm Unlimited modder Bdew for some ideas in implementing this!)
  • Add report pages to the journal by activating paper or papyrus sheets and right clicking on the journal - Add report.
  • 22 reports will fit into the journal.
  • Data will be added to your reports as you investigate and gather information.
  • New information will be added to the report as you continue to investigate.
  • Once you've found enough information for a single report, you will be able to use that report to help find that deed again whenever you want.
• Changes:
  • New statues have been added.
• Fixes:
  • Fixed a bug which allowed investigating to bypass max inventory weight.
  • Paved tiles should properly reset the investigate flag.

Item Placement:

• Items can now be placed on tables and certain objects
• To place an item, simply right click it from your inventory and select drop > place. You may then move the outlined object onto the table, clicking will place it at that location.

Hi all, Just a quick bug fix for the strangely-colored grass in the client.

Greetings Wurmians! Todays beta patch brings the return of creature conditions, meaning each conditioned creature (raging, greenish, slow, etc) will now have subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) colourings distinguishing them. This update also brings a few tweaks to the mission system and metal system, as well as a few PvP centric systems. This update should work on existing 1.6.0.0 servers until they update, but if you are experiencing issues you can use the beta branch previous_version. NOTE: If you encounter graphical issues such as the one below, setting "Limit max dynamic lights" in the settings to 8 or fewer will fix it, we will be releasing a client update once it is available
Happy Wurming!   To keep up to date with everything, make sure you visit our official forums https://forum.wurmonline.com Catch up with us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/wurmunlimited https://twitter.com/wurmunlimited And chat with other Wurmians on our official Discord: https://discord.gg/wurm

• Champions will now lose an affinity on death even if it is their only affinity.

  • After this timer has ticked down, a death is removed from their count and the timer will reset if any death counts remain.
  • If a players death count increases over 3, then any PvP kills against them will count as overkilling until that death count is again below 3.

• Scale and drake armour will no longer drop upon leaving the world.

Player Gods

• Once a player has ascended to demigod status, they still control a random hex, allied to the god that favours their kingdom and hostile to others. Being defeated in combat will remove them from the board.
• If their god wins and can promote an ally, the player god will ascend to godhood and become a full god.
• The player god is then removed from the Valrei board, but still is allowed followers, priests and a spellbook, they will no longer move on the valrei map or give missions.

• For each successful mission completed, the difficulty will go up by 1 for the subsequent mission.
• Failing or not completing a mission will lower the difficulty of the next mission by 2.
• If a member of another kingdom sabotages a mission that is possible to sabotage (e.g. cutting down a tree), the mission will be failed and lower the difficulty of the next mission by 2.
• Mission types are separated by difficulty, with home servers getting easier missions, and enemy servers getting harder missions.
• Sleep bonus is now divided amongst participants similar to how karma is
• Successfully completed missions will also provide boosts to deity stats. If a deity wins the scenario they will keep the boosted stats into the next scenario.

    • This will require lowering the creatures health and then using a sacrificial knife on the creature in the corresponding gods domain,

  • Tier 3 (5 winners): entire pool of contributors - Seryll lump or random tome fragment
• If a player has already won a reward, they cannot win again in that scenario reward pool.
• Tier 1 winners that are also in the top 5% of contributors will have a small chance to win a huge egg or key to the heavens instead of the single use tome.
• Deity rewards upon a scenario win have been changed slightly to take into account the new skills used in fights, and more balanced rewards.

New Affinity System:

• When using a skill characters will now have a small chance to gain an affinity in that skill upon a successful skill check.
  • On average once every 2 hours, a character will open a 15s window of time where every successful skill check will have a chance to gain an affinity in that skill. (e.g if you are mining during this window, you could gain an affinity in mining, pickaxe, miscellaneous items, body stamina, body strength, soul strength, mind logic, mind, soul, or body)
  • The chance to gain an affinity is 1/500 if you have no affinities in that skill, 1/1000 if you have one affinity, 1/1500 if you have two affinities, 1/2000 if you have 3 affinities and 1/2500 if you have 4 affinities.
  • If an affinity is successfully gained during the 15s window, the window will reset and no more will be able to be gained until the next window on that character.
  • This window will remain open and check every skill tick until an affinity is gained or the 15 seconds is up.
  • We will be monitoring these chances and making changes as necessary.
• Stealing affinities upon killing a character in PvP has changed:
  • If the dead character only has one affinity total, they will not lose that affinity and the killer will not gain an affinity.
  • If the dead character has more than one affinity, then a random one is lost and may go to the killer.
    • If the dead character has more affinities in that skill than the killer, then the killer will gain that affinity 100% of the time.
    • Otherwise, the chance for the killer to gain the affinity is dependant on the difference between the number of affinities in that skill each player has (before the dead character loses the affinity).
    • If the difference is 0, the chance is 50% for the killer to gain the affinity. Difference of 1 is 25%, difference of 2 is 12.5% and difference of 3 is 6.25%.
  • If an affinity is lost by the dead character and none gained by the killer, then the killer will receive a timed affinity in that skill that will last for a week.

  Bug Fixes:

  
  

Overkilling Changes:

• The time limit of 3 hours between kills to trigger overkilling of another player (after having killed them at least 3 times already per player) has been increased to 6 hours.
• Overall kills on a single player are now tracked, and will count as overkilling if killed more than 3 times by any other player in a short time.
  • When killed in PvP a player will gain a death count and a 3 hour timer will tick down.
  • If killed while that timer is ticking down, another death count will be gained, and the timer will reset to the 3 hour mark and start again.
  • After this timer has ticked down, a death is removed from their count and the timer will reset if any death counts remain.
  • If a player’s death count increases over 3, then any PvP kills against them will count as overkilling until that death count is again below 3.

Epic system changes:

• Changes to base damage reduction rates for armours:
  • Leather from 45% to 60%
  • Studded from 50% to 62.5%
  • Chain from 55% to 62.5%
  • Cloth from 35% to 40%

  • Adamantine armours now have a 5% movement speed bonus.
• Changes to damage type damage reduction modifiers on armours (lower % means less effective against that damage type, 100% = no modifier):
  • Leather: 90% vs bite, pierce and acid; 110% vs slash and burn damage; 100% vs others.
  • Studded: 90% vs slash and acid; 105% vs bite; 110% vs pierce and cold; 100% vs others.

  • Bloodthirst power gain no longer slows down after 5,000 against creatures.
• Locate Soul range has been reduced to 200 tiles. Beyond that range you will receive the message "No such soul found".
• Upkeep costs for Spirit guards on Epic servers will now scale according to how many you have, starting at 1 silver per month for the first guard, and increasing by 50 coppers more than the previous guard
  • 1 guard 1 silver upkeep
  • 2 guards 2.5 silver upkeep (1st guard 1 silver, 2nd guard 1.5 silver)
  • 3 guards 4.5 silver upkeep (1st guard 1 silver, 2nd guard 1.5 silver, 3rd guard 2 silver)
• Oakshell changes:
  • Oakshell now properly slows a mount based on power of cast
  • A cast of under 70 power will give the creature a rare glow, a cast of over 70 will show a supreme glow.

• Players in mines will only have a 20 tile (radius) local visibility both below and above ground, so no more hiding in mines to spy on a 80 tile above ground local.
• Kingdom influence on Epic servers will now update dynamically when towers are captured or destroyed without needing a restart.
• Scale and drake armour will no longer drop upon leaving the world.

Player Gods

• Once a player has ascended to demigod status, they still control a random hex, allied to the god that favours their kingdom and hostile to others. Being defeated in combat will remove them from the board.
• If their god wins and can promote an ally, the player god will ascend to godhood and become a full god.
• The player god is then removed from the Valrei board, but still is allowed followers, priests and a spellbook, they will no longer move on the valrei map or give missions.

• Deity statistics have been changed from Vitality and Strength to:
  • Body Strength, Body Stamina, Body Control, Mind Logic, Mind Speed, Soul Depth, and Soul Strength

Deity Fights

• When gods meet on the same tile they will move into a smaller hex map for the fight. Fights can be viewed and replayed from the valrei map
• When fighting, gods may perform different actions, and favour those more suited to their stats
• Ranged attack - Body stamina, Body control
• Spell regeneration - Mind logic, Mind speed
• Melee attack - Body strength, Body control
• Defence (passive) - Body strength, Body stamina
• Deity spellcasting - Soul strength, Soul depth
• Sorcery spellcasting - Mind Logic, Soul depth
• Spell defence (passive) - Mind speed, Soul strength

Mission Difficulty

• Missions will now generate on a difficulty scale, with higher difficulty missions providing more scenario points, sleep bonus, and karma.
• Current mission difficulty, available sleep bonus and karma can be viewed in the mission details window
• For each successful mission completed, the difficulty will go up by 1 for the subsequent mission.
• Failing or not completing a mission will lower the difficulty of the next mission by 2.
• If a member of another kingdom sabotages a mission that is possible to sabotage (e.g. cutting down a tree), the mission will be failed and lower the difficulty of the next mission by 2.
• Mission types are separated by difficulty, with home servers getting easier missions, and enemy servers getting harder missions.
• Sleep bonus is now divided amongst participants similar to how karma is
• Successfully completed missions will also provide boosts to deity stats. If a deity wins the scenario they will keep the boosted stats into the next scenario.

Mission Changes

• New mission types
  • Destroy guard tower in enemy territory
  • Sacrifice creatures
    • This will require lowering the creatures health and then using a sacrificial knife on the creature in the corresponding gods domain,
  • Kill tower guards
• Changed mission types
  • Missions involving creatures to be killed or sacrificed will now spawn those creatures specifically for the mission..
  • Traitor mission creatures will be marked with a special effect and will also have oakshell.
  • Trees marked for a mission will now have a special effect.

Scenario Rewards

• Rewards from completing scenarios will now be split across three tiers
  • Tier 1 (1 winner): top 20% of contributors - random single use tome.
  • Tier 2 (3 winners): Top 50% of contributors - 3 random tome fragments
  • Tier 3 (5 winners): entire pool of contributors - Seryll lump or random tome fragment
• If a player has already won a reward, they cannot win again in that scenario reward pool.
• Tier 1 winners that are also in the top 5% of contributors will have a small chance to win a huge egg or key to the heavens instead of the single use tome.
• Deity rewards upon a scenario win have been changed slightly to take into account the new skills used in fights, and more balanced rewards.

New Affinity System:

• When using a skill characters will now have a small chance to gain an affinity in that skill upon a successful skill check.
  • On average once every 2 hours, a character will open a 15s window of time where every successful skill check will have a chance to gain an affinity in that skill. (e.g if you are mining during this window, you could gain an affinity in mining, pickaxe, miscellaneous items, body stamina, body strength, soul strength, mind logic, mind, soul, or body)
  • The chance to gain an affinity is 1/500 if you have no affinities in that skill, 1/1000 if you have one affinity, 1/1500 if you have two affinities, 1/2000 if you have 3 affinities and 1/2500 if you have 4 affinities.
  • If an affinity is successfully gained during the 15s window, the window will reset and no more will be able to be gained until the next window on that character.
  • This window will remain open and check every skill tick until an affinity is gained or the 15 seconds is up.
  • We will be monitoring these chances and making changes as necessary.
• Stealing affinities upon killing a character in PvP has changed:
  • If the dead character only has one affinity total, they will not lose that affinity and the killer will not gain an affinity.
  • If the dead character has more than one affinity, then a random one is lost and may go to the killer.
    • If the dead character has more affinities in that skill than the killer, then the killer will gain that affinity 100% of the time.
    • Otherwise, the chance for the killer to gain the affinity is dependant on the difference between the number of affinities in that skill each player has (before the dead character loses the affinity).
    • If the difference is 0, the chance is 50% for the killer to gain the affinity. Difference of 1 is 25%, difference of 2 is 12.5% and difference of 3 is 6.25%.
  • If an affinity is lost by the dead character and none gained by the killer, then the killer will receive a timed affinity in that skill that will last for a week.

• Bugfix:  Fixed a bug which caused items with glow runes attached to never cool down.
• Bugfix:  Fennel seed should no longer show as being made with a mortar and pestle on any spice in recipes.
• Bugfix: Additional fix to check that the 5% tax is not taken from crates stored in racks as soon as they are moved off deed.
  • Note: This fix does require a tax check to occur on deed prior to taking off deed to correctly update the period between taxings.

• Example of this is a FA weapon causing multiple burn wounds to the same position on the body if hit there multiple times. The normal weapon wounds would mostly stack (with some randomly causing a new wound), but fire wouldn’t stack. That fire wound will now stack with any existing fire wound at that position.

Hi Everyone! Retrograde here with a quick overview of some of the major features coming with 1.6 which is due out tomorrow!

A little to the left

Greetings wurmians! The long delayed 1.6 update is finally here in beta! With new skills, overhauls of many systems, and major features, this update is quite large, and may break servers, so never run this version without making a backup copy of your existing server! As always, you can report bugs via our steam forums or official forums here: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/269-technical-issues/ Enjoy! The Wurm team

General Changes & Additions

• New: Archaeology and Restoration skills have been added.
  • Players can now investigate tiles with a trowel to find fragments of items.
  • Investigating on old disbanded settlements has a chance to yield unique items.
  • Unidentified fragments will need to be identified with the use of a chisel or metal brush.
  • Each identify action will reduce the weight of the fragment.
  • Once the fragment weight is equal to the weight of the fragmented item, the fragment will become a fragment of the item.
  • Using the correct tool to identify will increase the amount of weight lost each action.
  • Fragments can then be combined with fragments of the same item until the complete item is made.
  • Resulting items have a chance to be created with multiple runes or random enchants.
• Added "May plant" permission to village roles.
• New:  You can now re-pave a highway tile without having to destroy catseyes and waystones and disrupting the valid highway.
  • NOTE over 20 body strength will be necessary for this
  • Permissions are required to do this on deed and in perimeters.
  • You can also pave bridge parts when they are part of a highway, also can be repaved once paved.
• New:  In addition to renaming the shelves in the Bulk Storage container unit, you can now also rename the shelves of the larder and the large storage unit.
• New: Mine door graphics have been improved and mine door animation has been added.
  • Placing a mine door will now level the upper border of the mine entrance to the lowest side.
  • If the border is shared with a fence or house it will remain uneven.
  • The top border will need to be flat in order to have opening animation
  • If top border is uneven the new textures will show, but opening animation will not.
  • Mine doors can now be removed with the use of a crowbar.
    • To remove a mine door you must be the owner, or have the manage item permission.
• New: Bulk-to-bulk transfers:
  • Amount transferred is depending on your strength in relation to the weight of the item type you’re transferring. If you can carry 20, you’ll move 20 at a time. If you can carry (the weight of) 2000, you’ll transfer 2000 at a time.
  • Take note that the carry weight respects how much you’re currently carrying in your inventory.
  • The action ‘ticks’ once every second, so it’s not a long wait.
  • Multiple actions of transferring can be queued.
  • The action is triggered by dragging a bulk item from one bulk container to another, you will have the regular bulk item transfer options (default numbers up to 50), MAX, or entering a number in the text field at the top. If you have 500 iron lumps, but only want to transfer 430, enter the number in the text field.
• Face shots will now take head armour as the armour value.
• Meditation path level up cooldowns have been lowered and the cap has been reduced from 24 days to 18 days
  • Level 1: 12h
  • Level 2: 1 day
  • Level 3: 2 days
  • Level 4: 4.5 days
  • Level 5: 8 days
  • Level 6: 12.5 days
  • Level 7+: 18 days
  • If your Meditation skill is higher than current level x 15 the cooldown timer will be halved (e.g. If you have higher than 45 Meditation, the time between level 3 and 4 will be 2.25 days instead of 4.5 days.)
• A new creature movement featurehas been introduced to improve creature AI
  • Note: This can be managed via the feature management window with a GM account power 4+
• Changed the speed penalty of all plate helms to be the same.
• Player god missions should no longer spawn on Freedom servers.
• Instead of being individually added upon branding, creatures will now have a special role for citizens with brand permissions on a deed. This will mean leaving the deed will revoke all permissions on branded creatures.
• Wires can now be put into bulk bins.
• Lurker in the woods cast pendulums will now show the name of the champion creature located instead of “presence”.
• Lurker in the woods and Lurker in the deep cast pendulums will now scale according to server size:
  • 2048 tile servers will be power / 100 x 64 = tile radius.
  • 4096 servers will be power / 100 x 128  = tile radius.
  • 8192 servers will be power / 100 x 256 = tile radius.
• Added small bag
  • Small bag is created with a needle on leather.
  • Small bags are not containers, but are used in creation of saddlebags.
• Added saddlebags
  • Saddlebags are created with a leather belt on a small bag, and finished with an additional leather belt and small bag.
  • Any weight in the saddlebag will count as half weight for speed calculations on the horse.
  • Saddles are now considered containers, which can only take saddlebag items.
  • Saddlebags are placed inside the saddle on the horse, and can be reached by the equipment menu
  • A separate option to access saddlebags independently of the equipment menu is in the works, but not available at this time
• Adjusted some creatures spawn tile requirements to prevent the over abundance of seal colonies on rocky shores. Rats can now spawn on rock near water and seals may spawn on beaches.
• The ability to dig dirt or resources directly into a pile has been added. The keybind dig_to_pile will allow you to dig dirt and other resources and have them go into a pile at your feet.  Once the pile is full, the resources will go into inventory. This is only available via the keybind which can be set in the console or in the keybind tab on the settings page.
• Hell horses now have new colour names to differentiate them from regular horses.
  • Brown > Cinder
  • Gold > Envious
  • Black > Shadow
  • White > Pestilential
  • Grey > Ash
  • Ebony Black > Molten

• Title for masonry 100 added - Another Brick In The Wall

  • This will provide firemaking skill
  • Resulting quality is incluenced by firemaking skill and quality of furnace
  • QL is based off your skill and the QL of the furnace (random QL based on both).
• New: Attempting to dye an item with not enough dye will tell you how much you need

• New: You can now paint/dye certain items with one color for the wood and another for the cloth portion.
  • Dye is removed from the wooden sections with a wire brush
  • Dye is removed from the secondary (cloth) sections with lye equal to half the weight required to dye the item in the first place.
  • Note: Items that are currently dyed will have both primary and secondary sections coloured.
• New: Wood-type shaders have been added, so many items will once again show different hues for the different wood-types. This includes wood-types for the newly added trees which never had a different hue:
  • Orange
  • Linden
  • Oleander
  • Fir
  • Chestnut
  • Walnut.

• Change: With the addition of adding a second dye color to some items, all dye amount requirements have been reviewed and adjusted.
• Change: Adjusted affinity gain chances to favour skills more than characteristics. This change is aimed at avoiding the majority of affinities being characteristics and to result in skill affinities being more common. We will continue to monitor and adjust affinity chances in further updates if necessary.
• Change: Meditation abilities that only affect yourself are no longer affected by deed permissions.
• Change: Increased post grace period decay rate for offdeed red catseyes and waystones with only one valid link.

  • New: Many metal items and tools can now be crafted with any metal.
  • New: Metal items will now take on a hue depending on the metal used in creation
  • Change: Ore is no longer capped at 50 Quality on Epic Home Servers.

  Bug Fixes:

  
  

Overkilling Changes:

• The time limit of 3 hours between kills to trigger overkilling of another player (after having killed them at least 3 times already per player) has been increased to 6 hours.
• Overall kills on a single player are now tracked, and will count as overkilling if killed more than 3 times by any other player in a short time.
  • When killed in PvP a player will gain a death count and a 3 hour timer will tick down.
  • If killed while that timer is ticking down, another death count will be gained, and the timer will reset to the 3 hour mark and start again.
  • After this timer has ticked down, a death is removed from their count and the timer will reset if any death counts remain.
  • If a player’s death count increases over 3, then any PvP kills against them will count as overkilling until that death count is again below 3.

Epic system changes:

  • Leather from 45% to 60%
  • Studded from 50% to 62.5%
  • Chain from 55% to 62.5%

  • 1 guard 1 silver upkeep
  • 2 guards 2.5 silver upkeep (1st guard 1 silver, 2nd guard 1.5 silver)
  • 3 guards 4.5 silver upkeep (1st guard 1 silver, 2nd guard 1.5 silver, 3rd guard 2 silver)
• Oakshell changes:
  • Oakshell now properly slows a mount based on power of cast
  • A cast of under 70 power will give the creature a rare glow, a cast of over 70 will show a supreme glow.

• Players in mines will only have a 20 tile (radius) local visibility both below and above ground, so no more hiding in mines to spy on a 80 tile above ground local.
• Kingdom influence on Epic servers will now update dynamically when towers are captured or destroyed without needing a restart.
• Scale and drake armour will no longer drop upon leaving the world.

Player Gods

• Once a player has ascended to demigod status, they still control a random hex, allied to the god that favours their kingdom and hostile to others. Being defeated in combat will remove them from the board.
• If their god wins and can promote an ally, the player god will ascend to godhood and become a full god.
• The player god is then removed from the Valrei board, but still is allowed followers, priests and a spellbook, they will no longer move on the valrei map or give missions.

• Deity statistics have been changed from Vitality and Strength to:
  • Body Strength, Body Stamina, Body Control, Mind Logic, Mind Speed, Soul Depth, and Soul Strength

Deity Fights

• When gods meet on the same tile they will move into a smaller hex map for the fight. Fights can be viewed and replayed from the valrei map
• When fighting, gods may perform different actions, and favour those more suited to their stats
• Ranged attack - Body stamina, Body control
• Spell regeneration - Mind logic, Mind speed
• Melee attack - Body strength, Body control
• Defence (passive) - Body strength, Body stamina
• Deity spellcasting - Soul strength, Soul depth
• Sorcery spellcasting - Mind Logic, Soul depth
• Spell defence (passive) - Mind speed, Soul strength

Mission Difficulty

• Missions will now generate on a difficulty scale, with higher difficulty missions providing more scenario points, sleep bonus, and karma.
• Current mission difficulty, available sleep bonus and karma can be viewed in the mission details window
• For each successful mission completed, the difficulty will go up by 1 for the subsequent mission.
• Failing or not completing a mission will lower the difficulty of the next mission by 2.
• If a member of another kingdom sabotages a mission that is possible to sabotage (e.g. cutting down a tree), the mission will be failed and lower the difficulty of the next mission by 2.
• Mission types are separated by difficulty, with home servers getting easier missions, and enemy servers getting harder missions.
• Sleep bonus is now divided amongst participants similar to how karma is
• Successfully completed missions will also provide boosts to deity stats. If a deity wins the scenario they will keep the boosted stats into the next scenario.

Mission Changes

• New mission types
  • Destroy guard tower in enemy territory
  • Sacrifice creatures
    • This will require lowering the creatures health and then using a sacrificial knife on the creature in the corresponding gods domain,
  • Kill tower guards
• Changed mission types
  • Missions involving creatures to be killed or sacrificed will now spawn those creatures specifically for the mission..
  • Traitor mission creatures will be marked with a special effect and will also have oakshell.
  • Trees marked for a mission will now have a special effect.

Scenario Rewards

• Rewards from completing scenarios will now be split across three tiers
  • Tier 1 (1 winner): top 20% of contributors - random single use tome.
  • Tier 2 (3 winners): Top 50% of contributors - 3 random tome fragments
  • Tier 3 (5 winners): entire pool of contributors - Seryll lump or random tome fragment
• If a player has already won a reward, they cannot win again in that scenario reward pool.
• Tier 1 winners that are also in the top 5% of contributors will have a small chance to win a huge egg or key to the heavens instead of the single use tome.
• Deity rewards upon a scenario win have been changed slightly to take into account the new skills used in fights, and more balanced rewards.

New Affinity System:

• When using a skill characters will now have a small chance to gain an affinity in that skill upon a successful skill check.
  • On average once every 2 hours, a character will open a 15s window of time where every successful skill check will have a chance to gain an affinity in that skill. (e.g if you are mining during this window, you could gain an affinity in mining, pickaxe, miscellaneous items, body stamina, body strength, soul strength, mind logic, mind, soul, or body)
  • The chance to gain an affinity is 1/500 if you have no affinities in that skill, 1/1000 if you have one affinity, 1/1500 if you have two affinities, 1/2000 if you have 3 affinities and 1/2500 if you have 4 affinities.
  • If an affinity is successfully gained during the 15s window, the window will reset and no more will be able to be gained until the next window on that character.
  • This window will remain open and check every skill tick until an affinity is gained or the 15 seconds is up.
  • We will be monitoring these chances and making changes as necessary.
• Stealing affinities upon killing a character in PvP has changed:
  • If the dead character only has one affinity total, they will not lose that affinity and the killer will not gain an affinity.
  • If the dead character has more than one affinity, then a random one is lost and may go to the killer.
    • If the dead character has more affinities in that skill than the killer, then the killer will gain that affinity 100% of the time.
    • Otherwise, the chance for the killer to gain the affinity is dependant on the difference between the number of affinities in that skill each player has (before the dead character loses the affinity).
    • If the difference is 0, the chance is 50% for the killer to gain the affinity. Difference of 1 is 25%, difference of 2 is 12.5% and difference of 3 is 6.25%.
  • If an affinity is lost by the dead character and none gained by the killer, then the killer will receive a timed affinity in that skill that will last for a week.

• Bugfix: Building door history is properly recorded whether or not you have an item activated during the lock/unlock process.
• Bugfix:  You should now be able to tar a floor board underwater to the same depth you can lay them.
• Bugfix:  Prying catseyes and waystones on deed should do more damage than off deed.
• Bugfix:  Fixed a bug which caused damage to water instead of a reduction of weight to the water during a failed tailoring advanced creation attempt. (Ex. Using water on a cloth shirt to make a black vested shirt).
• Bugfix:  Fixed a bug which caused items with glow runes attached to never cool down.
• Bugfix:  Fennel seed should no longer show as being made with a mortar and pestle on any spice in recipes.
• Bugfix: Additional fix to check that the 5% tax is not taken from crates stored in racks as soon as they are moved off deed.
  • Note: This fix does require a tax check to occur on deed prior to taking off deed to correctly update the period between taxings.
• Bugfix:  Special wounds of same type and position will now stack, similar to normal wounds.
• Example of this is a FA weapon causing multiple burn wounds to the same position on the body if hit there multiple times. The normal weapon wounds would mostly stack (with some randomly causing a new wound), but fire wouldn’t stack. That fire wound will now stack with any existing fire wound at that position.

This update adds the fix from 1.5.1.1 to non login servers This is a minor change and all 1.5.2.1 clients will be compatible with 1.5.0.1 and 1.5.1.1 servers. This is a client-only change.

New client questions

Hi all, I've pushed out 1.5.1.1 to resolve a connectivity issue on high traffic servers. This is a minor change and all 1.5.1.1 clients will be compatible with 1.5.0.1 servers. This is a client-only change, but a complete update was pushed for version matching purposes. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, This update introduces several major features. The new highway system is in, with the ability to find routes and protect major thoroughfares, and the new wall types in the textures introduced earlier this year. Most importantly, this update includes the new rendering client, with improved lighting and shading and a whole lot of updates under the hood. If you encounter any performance issues please make a report on our community forums along with a copy of the console log [shows as console.playername.log], found in your steam folder at: SteamsteamappscommonWurm UnlimitedWurmLauncherPlayerFiles

• Once planted, the protected tiles and links can be viewed by right clicking on the object and selecting it in the menu.
• Planting catseyes off deed becomes faster as your paving skill increases.
• It is advised to use this to ensure the correct tiles will be protected when joining highway junctions.

Hi Everyone! It's been a quiet summer, but we're back with more news and happenings for Wurm, with all the latest details from the recent updates to Wurm Online and what's in store for Wurm Unlimited!

New walls

Epic mission structures

Animal transport

Crate rack

Creature movement focus

Highway system

Development client

Hi Everyone! 1.4.0.1 goes live today with the underground paving, cladding, and bridges! the highlights are below, but the full patch notes can be found at: http://www.wurmunlimited.com/2017/07/04/version-1-4-0-1/ Note: There may be some work in progress features within this version, if you do enable them do not expect them to work completely, and we advise you keep them disabled until they are completed and released by us. Happy Wurming! The Wurm team.

The Almanac!

• Crafted with sheet of paper and string + 2 leather strips, the almanac will hold reports you create about the nature of the tree, bush or trellis and estimate the harvest times.
• Reports are created by studying a harvestable tree, bush or trellis during its harvest season.
• You then can write down the record using a reed pen with ink or dye on paper.
• Forestry skill will determine how much information is collected.
• Resulting quality of the report will determine how far in the future you can see harvest times.
• These reports may then be stored inside the almanac.
• The almanac can then be used to check on harvest times and read up on information about the reports they have stored inside.
• The command /almanac will tell you what is in season as long as you have the applicable reports.
• Studying a harvestable tree, bush, or trellis requires the harvest permission on deed.

New Bridges

• Bridges can now be planned and built inside caves.
• Pottery, slate, sandstone, rendered and rounded stone bridges can now be built.
• Minimum height from water level has been reduced to 1 dirt above water.
• You can now pave bridges to match your roads by preparing them with mortar then paving them as you would a normal surface tile.
  • This does not apply to rope or wooden bridges

Catapult tweaks

• Tweaked distance for crowded message when using siege weapons. Shouldn’t be able to use 3 rams on a single wall anymore.

  • New algorithm now used for Catapults/Trebuchet projectiles that properly takes into account starting power, gravity and firing angle of the siege weapon:
  • Starting power determined by number of winches for catapult, and loaded amount for trebuchet – power directly relates to starting velocity (so 20 winches is 20m/s).
  • Arc of the projectile is checked along it for any walls, floors, bridges or fences it hits, otherwise it will travel the full arc until it hits the ground.
  • Anything within a small radius of the landing position will take damage, radius depends on the size of the thrown projectile.

    • The box it uses for this isn’t exact to the model, so if the projectile is going over the roof, try lowering your angle or power slightly
    • landing closer to the bottom of the roof than the top of it will be more accurate.

• BATTERING RAMS ADDED:
  • Minimum 21 body strength to use it.
  • Uses the War Machines skill for skill checks – action time is 33% faster at 100 skill with a base timer of 30 seconds.
  • Checks a short area in front of the ram for anything to hit, first thing it hits will take damage. Area should be closely lined up with the model.
  • Can only be used by one person at any time, user must be quite close to be able to use it.

  • Archery towers now have a damage falloff, the further they fire, the less damage will be dealt
  • Only one archery tower or turret will fire at any one tile (and anything on it).
  • Which one will fire at a tile is determined by the QL of the tower or turret, and the distance to the tile, in a similar manner to how altars work.

• Added a 3x bonus to damage when bashing arched walls manually.

• Dye requirement for large and small crates has been reduced to 2.50kg and 1.50kg respectively.
• Merchants who move on due to poor business (self-dismiss) will now return their goods and coins inside a backpack through the mail system instead of returning each item individually.

Hello all, I've pushed a fix for the crash bug with the server. The version number has not changed with this update. This fix specifically addresses the error regarding JavaFX and an imcompatibility with the older controlsfx library. If you've made any changes to fix this on your own, I strongly recommend undoing them for the update. The build numbers are: Wurm Unlimited: 1778584 Wurm Unlimited Dedicated Server: 1778575 You can see the build number by Right-Clicking on either Wurm Unlimited in your game library or Wurm Unlimited Dedicated Server in your tool library. Click Properties and then the Local Files tab. The build will be at the bottom of the panel. You can force an update to the latest build by clicking on Verify Integrity of [Game/Tool] files.... When done, closing and re-opening the Local Files tab should reveal the new build number.

Hi Everyone! Retrograde here with the one piece of info you all want, version 1.3 will be going live on the 6th of March! That's not all though, we will be using our website for the new devblogs, follow the unicorn if you want to know more... [img=http://content.wurmunlimited.com/News/2017/005/unicorn.jpg] Got questions? Join us on rizon IRC at #wurmunlimited, or just type IRC in your console ingame! Check us out on Facebook: http://Facebook.com/wurmunlimited And follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/wurmunlimited Regards, Retrograde & the Wurm team.

Hi Everyone! So after a slightly longer than expected closed alpha, we finally have the 1.3.1.1 beta! This beta addresses the bugs raised in the alpha, and also brings Wurm Unlimited up to equal date with Wurm Online. This means it also includes the new unicorn mechanics, as well as extra wide tunnel entrances! We had initially planned to release recipes incrementally as time went on, including new collections each update. With the unfortunate delays in 1.3 coming to WU this process no longer was necessary and we're now able to include the full intended set of recipes for WU, with 570 recipes being added. Many are intermediate products such as gravy and broth, and many alcohols have three stages, unfermented, undistilled, and finished. Don't forget, we're also running our competition to see YOUR recipes wind up in game, that closes soon for the live release of 1.3.1.1 in WU, so get in quick! http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/151354-the-great-wurm-cookoff/ Standard recipes are found in the Wurm UnlimitedWurmServerLauncherdist ecipes To add your own simply copy the recipe file into the recipe folder inside your server folder. e.g. Wurm UnlimitedWurmServerLauncherAdventure ecipes Recipe files must be named "recipe XXXX.json" where xxxx is the ID For custom recipes please use an ID of 1500+ For conflicting ID's recipes in the server ecipes folder will overrite the recipes in the dist ecipe folder If you wish to read up on what's in the cooking system, our developer Pandalet has been working hard on the documentation side, and the entire document can be found here: http://www.wurmunlimited.com/1-3-cooking-documentation/ Without further ado, here it is!

• Meats now have a material, e.g. Meat, Dragon and Meat, Game. As you can see it does not use the animal type, but a category as we have so many animal types. Some of the categories are: (there are 16 total)
  • Dragon
  • Game
  • Human
  • Humanoid
  • Snake
• Meat and fillets can now be put in FSB and Crates.
• Fish and fillets can now be put in FSB and Crates.

  • Small Barrel (sealed with a peg)
  • Wine Barrel (sealed with a peg)
• Sealable containers can be sealed while on the ground, not just in inventory.

• Using taste on your sealed wine barrels will give a more detailed indication of how your aging is progressing (via quality).
• When you break the seal on a container that has been sealed with a wax sealing kit, the kit will be returned to you with slight damage for reuse until the quality is so low that it is destroyed in the unsealing process.
• Cooking will now be from recipes, this does not mean that you cannot continue cooking like you used to though, although some recipes will have changed.
• A personal cookbook is now available which has the recipes that you know about in.
• Hens eggs can now be found when foraging on grass tiles. And you will be able to put them in FSB, but that makes them infertile. The egg count on a server will be only the fertile ones.

Old containers and tools - now with more use.

• Sauce pan - had to change size of this, but that means some recipes need a new one which is larger.
• Pottery bowl - can now be used to hold liquids as well, a lot of recipes use this.
• Hand - used to make some mixes, and other things. Note if a recipe says a hand must be used, actually any active item will work.
• Fork - how else were you going to mix some stuff!
• Knife - used a lot in food preparation.
• Spoon - An alternative way to mix things (so same ingredients can be used in multiple recipes. Also can be used to scoop.
• Press - can be used to squash something.

New crops

• Carrots
• Cabbage
• Tomatos
• Sugar Beet
• Lettuce
• Peas
• Cucumbers

New Bush

• Hazelnut bush - now you know where the hazelnuts come from.

New Tree

• Orange Tree - because it seemed like a good idea.

Spices

• All can be planted in a planter, except Nutmeg.
• Cumin
• Ginger
• Nutmeg.
• Paprika
• Turmeric

New Herbs

all Herbs can be planted in a planter.

• Fennel
• Mint

New items that are only found by forage / botanize.

• Cocoa bean
• Nutmeg (note this is a spice but cannot be planted in a planter)
• Raspberries
• Hazelnut sprout.
• Orange sprout.

Rocksalt

• Rock tiles that would of produced salt when mining will now be shown as Rocksalt veins (this may take a day or two to show), but have a limited life (e.g. you get 45-50 rocksalt from one).
• The Rocksalt can then be ground into salt using a grindstone. You can get more than one salt from each Rocksalt depending on your milling skill.
• Veins that had salt in, will be unaffected, e.g.you will still be able to get the random salt when mining them..

Trellis

• A new trellis has been added for hops.
• Trellis can now be harvested when their produce is in season (except ivy ones which don’t have a season).
• To help plant your trellis in nice straight lines, you can plant them using a wall, fence or tile border. And have three options, on left, center and on right.
• There is a limit of 4 planted trellis per tile. Any extras that are currently planted on same tile will become unplanted.
• A trellis must be planted to be able to be harvested.

Flowers

• Flowers can now be used in some recipes and rose petals, oleander, lavender and camellia.

Milking

• Milking is now a multi-step process, e.g. the more skill you have the more milk you can get, but does also depend on the creature's age.

Harvesting

• Harvesting fruit from trees and bushes are now also a multi-step process, again depends on your skill and the tree / bush age as to the maximum harvested. Also the result QL is now closer to your skill level (at higher levels).
• Harvesting trellis is very similar, but uses your skill and the QL of the trellis.
• Harvesting fields will also use this way to calculate the QL of the yield.

The goodness of food

• Each meal made will have a bonus attached to it, so the same type of ingredients making the same meal (in same type of cooker and same type of container) will end up with this same bonus.
• This bonus will give a timed affinity to a skill, the skill can be different per player, e.g. fish and chips may give a temp weaponsmithing affinity to Joe, but to Tom it gives carpentry, (also may not give it to any skill).
• Nutrition has not been changed.

Bees

• Wild bee hives will appear in spring at random locations and they will vanish at the end of the year (in winter). Note they will be in different locations each year.
• As time passes honey will be made in hives together with bees wax, the amount will depend on nearby flowers, fields and trees.
• Each wild hive will start with one queen bee, this may increase by one every wurm month, to a maximum of two, so long as the hive has over a certain amount of honey in it. When there is two queen bees if there is a domestic hive nearby it may migrate to it.
• A single queen may migrate to a nearby domestic hive if it is a better ql.
• Domestic hives will be loadable. Even with a queen in it. So you can move it to somewhere, e.g. your own deed. Watch out as bees sting!
• Bees in hives in a vehicle still need food, so if no honey of sugar they may die if there for a long time.
• Domestic hives that had a queen in it, will go dormant over the winter period and will become active again in spring. But it is possible for the queen to die over winter if no honey is left in the hive (Note can put sugar in hive to keep the queen alive.
• Honey (and beeswax) can be collectable from hives, But you will need a bee smoker so bees do not sting you, note that this bee smoker is useful at other times, like if you want to chop down a tree that has a hive, or load/unload a domestic hive which has a queen in it.

Recipes

• Wurm Unlimited comes with a stock 570 recipes with the ability for server admins to add their own custom recipes.
• Base recipes can be found in WurmServerLauncherdist ecipes
• Server owners put custom recipes in WurmServerLauncherSERVERNAME ecipes
• Instead of examining a food container to see what it will make, you now can use Lore, to see what it will make or to get hints on what ingredient you could add into the container to be able to make something.
• Some more specialised recipes will call for a meat of a specific category, or a specific fish, but most will use any meat or any fish or even any veg.
• Most new recipes only require one of each item, main exception is making sandwiches which normally requires 2 slices of bread.
• Some recipes are an intermediate step, or some sauce which is used later e.g. there is cake mix and white sauce.
• Lots of new food category types e.g.
  • Biscuits
  • Cookies
  • Curry
  • Pie
  • Pizza
  • Salads
  • Scones
  • Tarts
• And some of your old favorites like.
  • Cakes
  • Meal
  • Sandwiches
  • Tea
  • Wine
• And there are some new drinks which will need distilling, e.g. different spirits.
• Note you will need to experiment to find their recipes, but do note some items need a mix before adding other items, e.g. you will now need a cake mix to make cakes.
• Some ingredients will only be found doing forage/botanize actions, whilst others, once found, they may be able to be planted as a crop or even in a planter (e.g. most spices and herbs can be planted in a planter).
• Fresh is an attribute of an item when just found from foraging or picking, if you put it in a FSB it loses that attribute.
• Some recipes are nameable this means that whoever is the first to make the item for that recipe, will have their name added to the front of that recipe name, e.g. if Pifa was first to make a meat curry (assuming that was nameable) then it would show to everyone, when they discover it, as “Pifa’s meat curry”.
• These recipes can be named on each server. E.g. the same recipe can be name by multiple people so long as different servers.
• Note only one recipe can be named per person.
• Some recipes are pre-named.
• Some recipes may only be makeable once you have that recipe in your cookbook, these recipes are only available from killing certain creatures.
• Recipes can be inscribed onto papryus (or paper), to do this you need to be looking at the recipe in your cookbook, and then use the reed pen on a blank papryus (or paper).
• You can then mail these or trade them to others, where they can add it to their cookbook, if they don’t know it, by either reading the recipe and selecting to add to their cookbook or activate it and r-click on the cookbook menu option.
• Some old items are still make the old way, e.g. sandwiches, those are now called endurance sandwiches, and will not give any CCFP or timed affinity. These can still be used for the climbing as you may take a bite from them even when full.
• The GM spawned Julbord will now fill CCFP as well as 99 nutrition/food/water.

Planter

• Items can be planted in a planter, e.g. a herb or a spice (not all spices).
• The planted item will start growing.
• After a while it will be available to be harvested.
• Harvesting will be available daily.
• Each time you harvest it will prolong its life
• Eventually it will get too woody to be harvested, then it is time to start afresh.

Lore

• Using Lore on a container, will let you know what could be made
• If the contents match a known recipe (known by you that is). You would get a message like:“The Ingredients in the frying pan would make an omelette when cooked.”
• If the contents match an unknown recipe. Message would be like:“You think this may well work when cooked”
• If the ingredients would make any recipe but has an incorrect amount of a liquid then you would get something like:“The ingredients in the saucepan would make tea when cooked, but…there is too much water, try between 300g and 400g.”

Partial Matches

• It performs checks in this order
  • Unknown recipe that is not nameable.
  • Unknown recipe that is nameable.
  • Known recipe that is not nameable.
  • Known recipe this is nameable.
• If the contents form part of any recipe, it will give a hint as to what to add to make that recipe. E.g. “have you tried adding a chopped onion?”.
• Note the recipe is picked at random from a list of possible recipes and so is the shown ingredient.

Cookbook

• Every person has a cookbook, where your known recipes are shown.
• The cookbook is client-side, and this means it is more responsive (and dynamic).
• The recipe list is shown at start and each recipe is coloured depending on;
  • If it is a favourite (shown in goldenrod)
  • If it is globally known (shown in green)
  • Rarity colour (if applicable).
  • If known by you (shown in white)
  • And If unknown it will be in red. This is shown when the recipe is a requirement for a known recipe.
• When you expand a recipe you see what is needed to make it, You can drill down if an ingredient matches a known recipe. Note it is possible that an ingredient that is a result of another recipe not to be shown as a container, this is because there is not an exact match. E.g. wort, used in making beer, can be made from several different recipes and it is then used to make further recipes, But the final recipe just says it needs unfermented beer, not the actual recipe.
• Right-click menu options
  • You can set any recipe as favourite.
  • You can add a note to any recipe.
  • You can mark a recipe to be written to paper (only one can be written at any time, and will be reset if you relog)
  • Once you have marked a recipe to be written, you then need use the right-click menu option on the paper/papryus with an active filled pen.
  • You can search the recipes by their name (similar to how crafting recipes works), or by any notes
• You can also filter the list to just show favourite recipes.

Nutrition

• The existing nutrition system has been augmented by the calories/carbs/fats/proteins system (CCFP).
• Every edible item has a set of CCFP values. These are combined when creating a result item to give the result item CCFP values of its own. When eating something, the CCFP values increase the player’s CCFP bars, with the amount of increase being based on the amount of food consumed (where the maximum amount of food a player can consume is determined by current food bar value).
• The elements of CCFP affect the player as follows:
  • Calories - high bar reduces stamina drain
  • Carbs - high bar reduces water usage
  • Fats - high bar increases favour regeneration also used to reduce sleep bar drain.
  • Proteins - high bar reduces food usage
• When a player’s food bar is full, no further food may be eaten:
  • Exception is that an endurance sandwich can always be eaten.
  • A second exception is sleep powder.
• Similarly, when a player’s water (thirst) bar is full, no further drinks may be drunk.

Temporary affinities

• When a player consumes a prepared food, they will be granted a temporary affinity. This gives a 10% bonus to skill gain in a specific skill for a short period.
• The duration of the temporary affinity is set by how much of a food item is consumed - the more that is eaten, the longer the temporary affinity will last.

Runes

• Runes can be created from the resources left behind from rifts, rift crystals, rift stones, and rift wood. Most of these runes can be attached to another item to give that item a bonus, while others can be used one time to activate their effect.
• Crafting together a piece of these resources and a lump of metal will give the option of 5 runes:
  • Fo
  • Magranon
  • Vyn
  • Libila
  • Jackal.
• Crafting runes will use one of three skills depending on the rift resource used:
  • Fine Carpentry for rift wood.
  • Jewelrysmithing for rift crystal.
  • Stonecutting for rift stone.

• The combination of metal type and god type will determine the effect of a rune, while the rift resource used will determine what the resulting rune can be attached to or used on.
• Barring some exclusions, the following material types are used on their corresponding group:
  • runes made from rift wood can be used on wooden items.
  • Runes made from rift crystal can be used on metal items
  • Runes made from rift stone can be used on stone, pottery, cloth and leather items.

• There are a total of 65 different rune effects available, via the 13 different metals and 5 possible god types available.

• New Keybinds have been added:
  • COLLECT = gather snow
  • BOTANIZE_SPICES
  • SECURE
  • PLANT_LEFT
  • PLANT_RIGHT
• Removed mail limit count down from mailbox GUI.
• The Shield of the Gone DR bonus has been changed to start taking effect at level 7, with 20% of the total 30% DR, scaling up per level:
  • 6% DR at level 7
  • 12% DR at level 8
  • 18% DR at level 9
  • 24% DR at level 10
  • 30% Dr at level 11
• The ability to secure items on the ground has been added (full list available at a< href=")

• Label making has been added to the crafting window and recipe list.
• Simple creation cooking actions can be done with the crafting window interface like chopping, grinding, mincing, etc.
• Harvests from bushes, fruit trees, trellises and nut trees can now result in the form of a rare.
• Bee smokers now give you a message to indicate when they are full as you are fueling them. You no longer need a kindling to light them and you can use a variety of fuels like oils, woodscraps, paper, etc.
• Barrel, planter and amphora racks!
  • Small barrel racks and wine barrel racks can now be crafted with 1 large nail and 2 wooden beams
  • They can hold up to 30 barrels of their corresponding type.

Hi Everyone! The long awaited 1.3 update is finally here! We’ll be running a closed alpha first, just to ensure nothing major breaks when running on a server (especially with mods!) There’s a lot involved here, including some major behind the scenes changes so we really need to be cautious here. With the closed update we have a form to fill out to request a key, this is to ensure that those who wish to trial it and provide feedback understand that this could break any servers they are currently operating, which of course means ALL TEST DATA NEEDS TO BE BACKED UP. But firstly, let’s go over a few of the technical aspects of the 1.3 update.

Wurm Online launched version 1.3 (the cooking update) on the 22nd of November, and we've had huge amounts of feedback and tweaking since then, addressing various bugs and issues, as well as balancing and adjusting based off feedback, we're continuing to work on that to ensure that things are smooth before moving to a Wurm Unlimited beta, but I'll go into that more shortly. We've shared a whole bunch of teasers about what's coming in the next update, with the release of it all into Wurm Online this means it's all available on our site! Check out the major notes at http://www.wurmonline.com/2016/11/22/wurm-online-1-3-update-patch-notes-22nov16/

Hi Everyone! Work continues through October on our Wurm Online 1.3 update, focusing on the major cooking changes, bringing over 500 recipes, 7 new crops to farm, herbs and spices you can plant and grow, bees and so much more! We had our public testing run over the past two weeks, with players jumping on and testing out the changes, cooking thousands of different foods and exploring this new system. Cooking will be extremely in depth, immersive, and offer thousands of combinations, meaning you can really explore the new system or stick with the tried and true (everyone loves meat and corn, right?) We've teased a few of the feature coming, including the ability for server admins to create their own recipes, but there's plenty more!
