Path of Love

2015-05-30T12:59:47Z

Chrysanthy: /* Answers */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Meditating|Meditating]]

== Description ==
The '''Path of Love''' is one of the paths you can join by [[meditating]].

== Path of Love tiles ==
Love path tiles are usually found on flat or flattish grass, with flowers and water nearby. Usually love tiles will be within 5 - 7 tiles from the shore.

You can create your own love path tile by flattening a low 3x3 area close to open water and planting flowers on all of the tiles. Once planted, test each tile to see if it's "special" as the Love Tile does not have to be in the center. If the flowers are ever removed, the special tile may vanish. It must then be recreated, and may show up in a different spot than before.

Sprouts spreading from trees and grazing animals can remove the flowers and therefore destroy the Path of Love special tile.

It's rumored that trees can also be used instead of some of the flowers.

As with all paths, meditating on the tile gives the message "This is indeed a special place" after meditation is complete, and shows that you have found a special tile that belongs to a path. Sometimes, it is needed to meditate on the same tile several times to get the "special tile" message.

== Bonus ==

==== Refresh ====

Gained at level 4

You get the option on other players at the fourth rank on the path of love. This will restore the players food, water and stamina 100% and give them 99% nutrition. This can be used once every 18 real world hours. Note: You need to be a premium character now to refresh other players. You can refresh yourself by double clicking the health bar to bring up the paper doll, selecting body in the bottom left corner and choosing 'Refresh'.

Refreshing a player: ''You send (playername) a warm thought.''

Receiving a refresh: ''(playername) emits a positive wave of energy in your direction!''

Refreshing yourself: ''You send yourself a warm thought!''

==== Enchant ====
Gained at level 7

You get the option on grass and trees tiles. The tile is transformed into an [[enchanted grass]] or [[enchanted tree]] tile. When you enchant the tile event says "You let your love change the area". It can be used once every 18 hours.

==== Love Effect ====
Gained at level 9

Love Effect turns all aggressive mobs (including uniques) in your local to 'friendly status' with green highlight, so you can walk past them without being attacked.
The ability does not work in PvP (tamed/dominated pets). If you are fighting an animal and use this ability while sticking around, you will auto-attack back, which makes it continue fighting. Backing off and no-targeting should fix it. Usable once every 18 hours.

The effect covers your local area (80 tiles in all directions) and it lasts for 3 minutes.

When activated: 'You feel the love stream towards you' (green text) 
When deactivating: 'The stream of love fades' (orange text)

Watch the event tab carefully for the fading effect message, it can happen that animals/monsters keep the green highlight even after the effect ran out.

Relogging or embarking a cart/horse from one tile away (forcing client to reload) fixes this.

==== Healing Hands====
Gained at level 11.

Healing Hands is a passive ability that gives the player a 50% bonus to healing actions. This means that the healer will apply up to 50% extra healing when bandaging themselves or other players. They will also receive 50% more health from Life Transfer weapons.

Mouse-Over Description: "Improves the effectiveness of healing actions and natural regeneration by a factor of 1.5"

==== Recall Home ====
Gained at level 12

* You close your eyes and let your spirit fly home.

Recall Home is an activated by right clicking your body icon. It teleports you back to your settlement token.

There is a 21 hour cooldown duration for recall home.

'CAUTION - GLITCH' - Using this ability while on the 2nd floor or above of any structure may cause you to instantly die upon teleporting.

==== Final Breath ====
Gained at level 13

''Your willpower now gives you the ability to deal a powerful short range blow to the enemies.''

Final Breath deals medium poison wounds on the opponent.

You sharpen your thoughts into a shining arrow of energy with which you assault Venerable troll.
You thought pulse Venerable troll extremely hard in the chest and harm it.
Venom enters Venerable troll as you thought pulse him.
You see an ominous dark aura around throbbing ache at the chest.

Final Breath has a 2 hour cooldown.

Path of Insanity

2015-05-30T12:58:42Z

Chrysanthy: /* Answers */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Meditating|Meditating]]
== Description ==
The '''Path of Insanity''' is one of the paths you can join by [[meditating]]. Some followers have admitted to seeing strange hallucinations, or have been seen to interact with nothing there.
Followers may get the event message "''You feel strange and out of time.''" off and on, regardless of meditation level and rank. It is unknown whether this is triggered by something or completely random.

== Path of Insanity tiles ==
Insanity path tiles are usually found on flat tiles inside mines.

You should be able to create your own insanity path tile by flattening tiles in a mine, then testing them.

After completing a meditation on a path of insanity tile the usual message of "This is indeed a special place" will not appear. Due to this you may need to try moving to different tiles and repeatedly meditating until you get a path question in order to advance.

== Bonus ==

Gained at level 4

You get the option on wounds. This will clean the wound of any [[Rotten Touch]] "You gleefully clean the wound."

If the wound is not dirty or infected it will not clean the wound.

==== Fill ====

Gained at level 7

You get the option on your body. This will fill your foodbar to 99% and move your nutrition to a random value. You can Fill once per day.

Gained at level 9

==== Shield of the Gone ====

Gained at level 11

[[Player:Wurzel|Wurzel]] (who first reached the level of Gone) had a chat with [[Rolf]] who said it's a ''constant'' buff that ''reduces damage and healing by 50%''.
See [[Talk:Path of Insanity#Shield of the Gone|discussion]] for more details.

[[Rolf]] later said that the exact amount of damage reduction varies for different wounds. [[Rolf]] did not disclose further details.

==== Recall Home ====
Gained at level 12

You get the option on your Body (in your inventory). This will instantly teleport you back to the token at your deed. Can be used once every 12 hours.

* You close your eyes and let your spirit fly home.

==== Final Breath ====
Gained at level 13

''Your willpower now gives you the ability to deal a powerful short range blow to the enemies.''

==Answers==

The answers to the questions can be found [[Meditating_answers#Path_of_Insanity|here]].

== Path of Insanity Quirks ==
A large part of following The Path of Insanity is the player's character going crazy. This adds some fun roleplaying quirks that have no true effect on gameplay. Insane characters will occasionally see oddly named monsters that aren't really there. Also, randomly they may occasionally see the following message in their event window: '''You feel strange and out of time.''' This seemingly out of place message is actually the insane character performing involuntary, often disturbing emotes that other players see in their event window.

=== Hallucinations ===
Sometimes, insane characters see mobs that are invisible to everybody but themselves. These can be noted from a distance as they always have unusual names. They can't be interacted with, tamed, or killed. Reported names and creatures follow:
*A crocodile named 'Terror', another named 'Sickness', another named 'Rotton Blood'.
*A bear named 'Terror'.
*A small goblin named 'Watcher', another named 'Pain'.
*A black dragon named 'Scorn', another named 'Silent Death', another named 'Sickness'.
*A troll named 'Scorn', another named 'Watcher', another named 'Rotten Blood', another named 'Pus', another named 'Pain', another named 'Omen'.
*A lava fiend named 'Silent Death' that gave off no light, another named 'Pus', another named 'Pain'.
*A white dragon named, 'Sickness', another named 'Omen', another named 'Scorn'.
*A colossal brown dragon, towering even the red dragon, named 'The Wurm'.

[[Image:watcher.png|thumb|right|A troll named Watcher up close.]]

=== You feel strange and out of time ===
Nearby players may see the following emotes in their event window when an insane character receives the 'Out of Time' message:
*(Player) suddenly whimpers.
*(Player) suddenly coughs and looks nervously around.
*(Player) spits and froths disgustingly.
*(Player) stares at you with black eyes.
*(Player) drools a bit.

Chrysanthy: /* Answers */

== Description ==
The '''Path of Knowledge''' is one of the paths you can join by [[meditating]].

== Path of Knowledge tiles ==
Knowledge path tiles are usually found beside water and sand. Generally they are quite close to the shore, but some have also been found in deep waters.

You should be able to create your own knowledge path tile by flattening a low 3x3 area close to open water and creating some sand tiles near by. Once planted, test each tile to see if it's "special" as the Knowledge Tile does not have to be in the center. If the area is disturbed , the special tile may vanish, and must be recreated, and may show up in a different spot than before.

As with all paths, meditating on the tile gives the message "This is indeed a special place" after meditation is complete, and shows that you have found a special tile that belongs to a path.

Sacrificing

2015-05-17T08:18:19Z

Chrysanthy: /* Refill of Stamina, Nutrition, Food and Water and Skill gain */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Religion|Religion]] / [[Sacrificing]]

==Description ==
Putting an item in an altar and right-clicking the [[altar]] will give the option to "sacrifice". Items can be sacrificed in an [[altar]] representing the god you are following and has several beneficial effects that depend on what you sacrifice and how much. Sacrificing an item will remove it from the world so apart from sacrificing in order to gain any of the beneficial effects it's used in order to get rid of junk.

Requirements:
* Follower of a [[gods|god]], with at least 10 faith

== Effects ==

Sacrificing may yield:
* Favor gain
* Healing of wounds
* Alignment gain
* Potion
* Refill of Stamina, Nutrition, Food and Water
* Skill gain

If your Favor is already full you will start increasing Deed Faith bonus instead. See [[Faith bonus|Faith bonuses]] for details

=== Favor ===
As mentioned previously sacrificing items may yield a number of various effects, favor gain being one of them. The amount of favor you gain from sacrificing an item depends on what their value is. Items typically have a "get price" that you can see when right-clicking them in your inventory. That number along with the item type and its QL can be used to determine how much favor it will yield when sacrificed. See [[Base Price]] for details.

==== Double favor items ====
Some items have a [[religion]] specific double [[favor]] gain. That means that if you sacrifice your specific double favor item you'll get twice as much favor as the item is worth. For example: If a Vynora priest sacrifices a door lock it gets x amount of favor but if a Magranon priest sacrifices the same door lock it gets 2x the amount.

*[[Vynora]]: [[Yoyo]] and [[Torch]]
*[[Fo]]: [[Square piece of cloth]]
*[[Magranon]]: [[Door lock]]
*[[Libila]]: [[:Category:Natural_substances_items|Alchemy items]]

(note: Tested with rare version too)

=== Healing of wounds ===
When sacrificing items of high value the gods might heal your wounds. How much is healed depends on the value of the sacrificed items (note: more tests needed unless results of this exists elsewhere on the wiki already)

=== Alignment gain ===
Sacrificing items that have a "get price" value of at least 50 copper will increase your alignment. See [[Alignment]] for details.

=== Potion ===
A [[potion]] might be awarded when sacrificing items that add up to a high value. The potion will end up inside your intentory.

=== Refill of Stamina, Nutrition, Food and Water and Skill gain ===
Sacrificing any of the rare item kinds will refill the stamina, food and water bars in the same fashion as the Path of Love ability [[Path_of_Love#Refresh|Refresh]] and will heal a wound, usually the first wound received, regardless of severity. Rare items work exactly as the Refresh spell while supreme and fantastic abilities grant you a tick in a random skill.

The rare items need to be of full weight in order to give the bonus, i.e. a rare log that weighs 24kgs will refill the bars but a log that weighs 17kgs will not.

==== Rare Items ====

* Sacrificing [[rare]]s gives 99% [[stamina]], [[nutrition]], [[water]], [[food]] and and will heal a wound, usually the first wound received, regardless of severity
* Sacrificing [[supreme]]s gives the same as rares with a small gain in a random skill
* Sacrificing [[fantastic]]s gives the same as supremes but with greater skill gain.

== Notes ==

* [[Key]]s can only be sacrificed if the [[lock]] they belong to has already been destroyed. The lock must therefore be sacrificed before the key is (sometimes you can sacrifice them at the same time because the lock is registered by the server before the key is).
* To be able to sacrifice an item it must fit in the altar. If you are sacrificing to get rid of the item you can try using a [[Trash heap|trash heap]].
* Sacrificing creatures for a mission is done with a [[Sacrificial knife|sacrificial knife]] close to the altar belonging to your deity. You do not have to put the dead animal inside the altar.
* Sacrificing 10 items one at a time will give the same amount of favor as sacrificing all 10 at once. The items are registered individually and not as part of a unit.

Bridges

2015-05-17T05:51:29Z

Chrysanthy: /* Bridge Warnings and Possible Solutions */

== Notice ==
Solid objects built to safely cross rivers.

== Survey ==

Survey will give you information on where the other character is standing regarding distance, direction and height difference.

To survey for a bridge two characters are needed. One character must carry a [[range pole]], the other a [[dioptra]]. The lowest quality of the two items determines how long a bridge is that you can survey.'

The character with the range pole does not have to do much besides holding the range pole. To do this activate the range pole, click the ground and select ''Hold'' from the menu. When the action timer starts face the character with the dioptra.

The character with the dioptra will do the actuall survey. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Survey'' from the menu.

The planning process will print messages in the event log

You pack up the dioptra.
You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.
You make sure the dioptra is level.
You point the dioptra at <other player>.
You wave at <other player>.
You line up the dioptra with <other player>.
You look through the dioptra.
You focus on the range pole.
You read the graduations on the range pole and work out the height difference.
<other player> is <x> tiles <direction> of you. Also you appear to be <x> dirt higher than <other player>.
You stop surveying.
You pack up the dioptra.

== Building ==

To plan a bridge two characters are needed. One character must carry a [[range pole]], the other a [[dioptra]].

The character with the range pole does not have to do much besides holding the range pole. To do this activate the range pole, click the ground and select ''Hold'' from the menu. When the action timer starts face the character with the dioptra.

The character with the dioptra will do the actuall bridge planning. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Plan bridge'' from the menu. Standing right in front of the other character will create a 1 tile wide bridge. Standing at an offset will create bridges multiple tiles wide.

The planning process will print messages in the event log

You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.
looks like bridge would be <'width'x'length'> (East-West)
The tile border to your <direction> is level
You make sure the dioptra is level.
You point the dioptra at <other player>.
You wave at <other player>.
You line up the dioptra with <other player>.
You look through the dioptra.
You focus on the range pole.
You read the graduations on the range pole and work out the height difference.
The tile border to your helpers <direction> is level
You check the heights of the plan ends.
<Height difference>.
You work out the orientation and width for the bridge.
You check for clearance between the bridge ends.
You check for protruding foliage.
You check for nearby cave entrances and any lava.
You check for any items in the way.
You check that you have permissions to build the bridge.
You check for any bridges that may interfere with this bridge.
You check there would be no buildings under this bridge.
You work out the styles of bridges that would fit.
You start working out the bridge components required.
Planned bridge area is <x> tiles long and <y> tile wide.
(23:ESabFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFBASE)
You stop surveying.
You pack up the dioptra.

When all requirements are met you are presented with list of possible bridges.

[[Image:Bridge_Choices.png]]

The selection depends on planned width, length, height difference and clearance below the planned bridge.

If you have choosen a flat bridge that is longer than 5 tiles then you have the possibility to change the schematic of your bridge plan.

When you have choosen a type of bridge you can name the planned bridge and select the steepness of the bridge if you've choosen an arched bridge.

[[Image:Bridge_Name_Steepness.png]]

After clicking ''Finalize'' a wooden frame for the bridge is constructed.

For each tile of the bridge a bridge segment has to be completed in multiple stages. Those are 'abutments' for the out segments, 'bracing' and 'floating' for stone bridges and 'crown' for rope and wood bridges.

Until the bridge has been completed no other bridge can be started by the character.

== Bridge Warnings and Possible Solutions ==
'''Your end of the bridge is too close to the water level!'''
*raise both tiles of the one holding the range pole and dioptra by 10 slope higher for 5 tile-long bridge and 60 - 80 slope beyond it.

'''"The quality of the dioptra makes it too hard to work out the distance." or "You can't read the graduations on the range pole at this distance".'''
*Improve both materials. Note that the lowest ql of the two will determine the max length of bridge you can plan.

'''You notice that there is not enough clearance for a bridge to be built here.'''
*Remove trees, houses, fences and both end tile where the bridge should have enough drop off.

'''There are some terrains nearby'''
*A cave entrance is one factor. Make sure to build the bridge at least 2 tiles away from the opening.

Chrysanthy: /* Bridge Warnings and Possible Solutions */

== Notice ==
Solid objects built to safely cross rivers.

== Survey ==

Survey will give you information on where the other character is standing regarding distance, direction and height difference.

To survey for a bridge two characters are needed. One character must carry a [[range pole]], the other a [[dioptra]]. The lowest quality of the two items determines how long a bridge is that you can survey.'

The character with the range pole does not have to do much besides holding the range pole. To do this activate the range pole, click the ground and select ''Hold'' from the menu. When the action timer starts face the character with the dioptra.

The character with the dioptra will do the actuall survey. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Survey'' from the menu.

The planning process will print messages in the event log

You pack up the dioptra.
You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.
You make sure the dioptra is level.
You point the dioptra at <other player>.
You wave at <other player>.
You line up the dioptra with <other player>.
You look through the dioptra.
You focus on the range pole.
You read the graduations on the range pole and work out the height difference.
<other player> is <x> tiles <direction> of you. Also you appear to be <x> dirt higher than <other player>.
You stop surveying.
You pack up the dioptra.

The character with the dioptra will do the actuall bridge planning. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Plan bridge'' from the menu. Standing right in front of the other character will create a 1 tile wide bridge. Standing at an offset will create bridges multiple tiles wide.

The planning process will print messages in the event log

You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.

You check for any bridges that may interfere with this bridge.
You check there would be no buildings under this bridge.
You work out the styles of bridges that would fit.
You start working out the bridge components required.
Planned bridge area is <x> tiles long and <y> tile wide.
(23:ESabFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFBASE)
You stop surveying.
You pack up the dioptra.

When all requirements are met you are presented with list of possible bridges.

[[Image:Bridge_Choices.png]]

The selection depends on planned width, length, height difference and clearance below the planned bridge.

If you have choosen a flat bridge that is longer than 5 tiles then you have the possibility to change the schematic of your bridge plan.

When you have choosen a type of bridge you can name the planned bridge and select the steepness of the bridge if you've choosen an arched bridge.

[[Image:Bridge_Name_Steepness.png]]

After clicking ''Finalize'' a wooden frame for the bridge is constructed.

For each tile of the bridge a bridge segment has to be completed in multiple stages. Those are 'abutments' for the out segments, 'bracing' and 'floating' for stone bridges and 'crown' for rope and wood bridges.

Until the bridge has been completed no other bridge can be started by the character.

== Bridge Warnings and Possible Solutions ==
'''Your end of the bridge is too close to the water level!'''
*raise both tiles of the one holding the range pole and dioptra by 10 slope higher for 5 tile-long bridge and 60 - 80 slope beyond it.

'''"The quality of the dioptra makes it too hard to work out the distance." or "You can't read the graduations on the range pole at this distance".'''
*Improve both materials. Note that the lowest ql of the two will determine the max length of bridge you can plan.

'''You notice that there is not enough clearance for a bridge to be built here.'''
*Remove trees, houses, fences and both end tile where the bridge should have enough drop off.

== Notice ==
Solid objects built to safely cross rivers.

== Survey ==

Survey will give you information on where the other character is standing regarding distance, direction and height difference.

To survey for a bridge two characters are needed. One character must carry a [[range pole]], the other a [[dioptra]]. The lowest quality of the two items determines how long a bridge is that you can survey.'

The character with the range pole does not have to do much besides holding the range pole. To do this activate the range pole, click the ground and select ''Hold'' from the menu. When the action timer starts face the character with the dioptra.

The character with the dioptra will do the actuall survey. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Survey'' from the menu.

The planning process will print messages in the event log

You pack up the dioptra.
You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.
You make sure the dioptra is level.
You point the dioptra at <other player>.
You wave at <other player>.
You line up the dioptra with <other player>.
You look through the dioptra.
You focus on the range pole.
You read the graduations on the range pole and work out the height difference.
<other player> is <x> tiles <direction> of you. Also you appear to be <x> dirt higher than <other player>.

To plan a bridge two characters are needed. One character must carry a [[range pole]], the other a [[dioptra]].

The character with the range pole does not have to do much besides holding the range pole. To do this activate the range pole, click the ground and select ''Hold'' from the menu. When the action timer starts face the character with the dioptra.

The character with the dioptra will do the actuall bridge planning. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Plan bridge'' from the menu. Standing right in front of the other character will create a 1 tile wide bridge. Standing at an offset will create bridges multiple tiles wide.

The planning process will print messages in the event log

You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.

(23:ESabFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFBASE)
You stop surveying.
You pack up the dioptra.

When all requirements are met you are presented with list of possible bridges.

[[Image:Bridge_Choices.png]]

The selection depends on planned width, length, height difference and clearance below the planned bridge.

If you have choosen a flat bridge that is longer than 5 tiles then you have the possibility to change the schematic of your bridge plan.

When you have choosen a type of bridge you can name the planned bridge and select the steepness of the bridge if you've choosen an arched bridge.

[[Image:Bridge_Name_Steepness.png]]

After clicking ''Finalize'' a wooden frame for the bridge is constructed.

For each tile of the bridge a bridge segment has to be completed in multiple stages. Those are 'abutments' for the out segments, 'bracing' and 'floating' for stone bridges and 'crown' for rope and wood bridges.

Until the bridge has been completed no other bridge can be started by the character.

== Bridge Warnings and Possible Solutions ==
'''Your end of the bridge is too close to the water level!'''
*raise both tiles of the one holding the range pole and dioptra by 10 slope higher for 5 tile-long bridge and 60 - 80 slope beyond it.

== Description ==
''An astronomical and surveying instrument, mounted on a tripod.''

== Notes ==
*A Dioptra is a somewhat difficult item to make. Assuming you use a [[protractor]] of about equal quality to your blacksmithing skill it can be created with as low as 30 blacksmithing skill. It is recommended to improve the protractor first before you try to create it.
*The protractor affects the unfinished Dioptra quality and ultimately the finished quality.
*Quality of Dioptra affects how long you can plan a bridge.
*Starter compass can be used.
*The Dioptra has a relatively high value and is worth the same as, for example, mooring ropes and door locks of equal quality. [[Get price]] = QL^2 * 0.50.

=== Known Creation Chances ===
Quality of protractor affects creation chance.

*90 blacksmithing skill, 14ql protractor gives 29% chance
*66 blacksmithing skill, 14ql protractor gives 16% chance
*42 blacksmithing skill, 42ql protractor gives 25% chance
*31.9 blacksmithing skill, 18ql protractor gives 6% chance

== Usage ==
A Dioptra is utilized by activating it and right clicking another player. There will be a 'Plan Bridge' option which will proceed to plan the bridge as follows:
You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.
You make sure the dioptra is level.
You point the dioptra at <Player>.
You wave at <Player>.
You line up the dioptra with <Player>.
You look through the dioptra.
You focus on the range pole.
You read the graduations on the range pole and work out the height difference.
You check the heights of the plan ends.
You appear to be <xx> dirt <Higher/lower> than <Player>.
You work out the orientation and width for the bridge.
You check for clearance between the bridge ends.
You check for protruding foliage.
You check for nearby cave entrances.
You check for any items in the way.
You check that you have permissions to build the bridge.
You check for any bridges that may interfere with this bridge.
You check there would be no buildings under this bridge.

*Starter compass can be used.

== Known Creation Chances ==
*90 blacksmithing skill, 14ql sight and protractor gives 29% chance
*66 blacksmithing skill, 14ql sight and protractor gives 16% chance
*42 blacksmithing skill, 42ql sight and protractor gives 25 chance

== Usage ==
A Dioptra is utilized by activating it and right clicking another player. There will be a 'Plan Bridge' option which will proceed to plan the bridge as follows:
You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.
You make sure the dioptra is level.
You point the dioptra at <Player>.
You wave at <Player>.
You line up the dioptra with <Player>.
You look through the dioptra.
You focus on the range pole.
You read the graduations on the range pole and work out the height difference.
You check the heights of the plan ends.
You appear to be <xx> dirt <Higher/lower> than <Player>.
You work out the orientation and width for the bridge.
You check for clearance between the bridge ends.
You check for protruding foliage.
You check for nearby cave entrances.
You check for any items in the way.
You check that you have permissions to build the bridge.
You check for any bridges that may interfere with this bridge.
You check there would be no buildings under this bridge.
You work out the styles of bridges that would fit.
You start working out the bridge components required.
Planned bridge area is <x> tile(s) long and <x> tile(s) wide.
You stop surveying.
You pack up the dioptra.

*[[Needle]]
*[[Leather knife]]
*[[Iron awl]]
*[[Mallet]]
*[[Leather]]
|

*[[Lye]]
*[[Animal hide]]
*[[Drake hide]]
*[[Rivets]]
*[[Mouth bit]]

==Products==
=== Leather armour ===
Leather armour generally provides the least amount of base defense. However it also has one of the smallest penalties to attack speed and walking speed. Leather armour has defensive bonuses to bashing, while the equipment itself also gets extra damage from cutting. A full leather set weighs 3.2KGs and will slow you to 15.40KM/h on cobblestone when worn.

:*[[Leather glove]]
:*[[Leather jacket]]
:*[[Leather pants]]
:*[[Leather boot]]
:*[[Leather sleeve]]
:*[[Leather cap]]

==== Note ====
The QL of the leather armour piece made will be the lesser of 20% of your Leatherworking skill or the QL of the leather used.

=== Studded leather armour ===
Studded leather armour generally provides a moderate amount of base defense with similar penalties as leather armour. Studded leather armour represents a good common ground between speed and reasonable defense though still less base defense then plate provides. A full studded leather set weighs 4.9KGs and will slow you to 14.77KM/h on cobblestone when worn.

:*[[Studded leather glove]]
:*[[Studded leather jacket]]
:*[[Studded leather pants]]

==== Note ====
You may not be able to make a studded leather jacket if it is the first studded leather armour piece you attempt. Try to create another piece first.

=== Drake hide armour ===
Drake hide is the best leatherworking-based armour existing in Wurm. Its protection rating is between chain and plate, yet more sensitive to cutting and piercing than chain armor.
Drake hide armor has the lowest penalty to and walking speed other than scale (about 16 km/h on cobble) and is very lightweight.

== Description ==
''This thin, colorful rug provides some comfort as you sit on it but its main purpose is to create a meditation zone where your mind can relax.''

== Usage ==
To [[meditating|meditate]], drop the rug on the ground. Right click the rug and select ''Nature -> Meditate''

*Rugs may be used while being dragged on a cart/inside a boat.

*Can be placed in a [[bucket]] or small box and other containers and used in it, so you don't lose it within the tile.

== Notes ==
* This is the rug that is hardest to create:
** 58.01 cloth tailoring, 50.37 QL loom = 6% creation chance
** 74 cloth tailoring, 81 QL loom = 29% creation chance
** 90 cloth tailoring, 90 QL loom = 46% creation chance
* The rug gets damage every time it is used, the damage done is dependant on the rug's quality. An 1 QL rug takes 10.00 damage on one meditation.
* It cannot be used underwater.
* It does not carry a signature.
* Can be placed in a bucket or small box and other containers and used in it, so you don't lose it within the tile.
* This offers the highest probability of getting meditation questions of any other meditation rug.

== Description ==
''A large kiln-like structure made from logs covered in dirt. The purpose is to turn the logs into tar and charcoal.''

'''Charcoal pile''' is a large structure made from [[log]]s and [[pile of dirt|dirt]] and lit up with a [[kindling]]. When it burns, it slowly creates [[charcoal]], [[tar]] and [[ash]]. They are mainly used to create charcoal in order to make [[steel lump]]s.

== Creating ==
* The [[quality]] of the kindling affects the chance of creating a charcoal pile.
* The log and dirt affect the rate of increase in quality of the pile when building, according to your [[coal-making]] skill. The quality level is not limited by skill, it is limited by the quality of the components added ([[see Piperlane's Test]]). A quality 20 pile will yield approximately 14 tar, charcoal and ash.
* It uses 1 Kindling and 1 Log to create. Using combined kindling will use the entire combined amount.
* Pile cannot be created or continued inside a [[House (general)|house]].

== Usage ==
* After finished, light the pile with your [[steel and flint]], with a kindling in your inventory. The pile will slowly damage and create charcoal, tar and ash. A pile will burn for one to six real life days, accumulating the products over time. The higher the quality, the longer the pile will burn and the more product it will produce.

*Battlepants' test for the approximation of pile quality and number of produce.
*29.75ql birchpile produced 17 charcoals
*56.58ql birchpile produced 30 charcoals
*46.01ql walnutpile produced 25 charcoals

* The pile products can be removed at any time without harm to further production. Damage on charcoal piles no longer reduces the quality of the items created as of 06 March 2014
* Light as soon as possible. Unlit piles will soon start to take "invisible" damage till lit, which is when the damage becomes apparent.

== Notes ==
* A single charcoal, ash, and tar is produced at each decay tick.
* Wood type affects production:
** Cedarwood piles burn slower due to their decay tick mechanic, but produce the same amount as a non special wood type.
** Oakenwood piles produce more charcoal as they take less decay per tick and thus have more ticks.
** Walnut Piles give a 10% bonus on the quality of the items it produces.
** Other wood types appear to have no effect on burn time or charcoal production.
* The last log added determines the wood type of the pile. So you could add 20 pine logs, but have the final one added be an oak log, and you would get an oak charcoal pile.
* Ash decays fast, even inside the pile as it burns.
* Making 31 piles from discovery without sleep bonus will net around 24 Coal-making Skill.
* It is possible to get a [[Rare item|rarity drumroll]] while continuing a [[charcoal pile]] which will produce a random number of rare [[charcoal]], [[ash]] and [[tar]].

Archery

Chrysanthy: /* Skillgain tips */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
Archery is a skill which involves an [[:Category:Arrows|arrow]] and a [[:Category:Bows|bow]].

==== Characteristic gained ====
Body / [[Body Control]]

== Method ==
To shoot you need to equip a bow in your hands and activate it, and then right click on your target. Make sure the bow is strung. Rare bow string strung in a bow will go unrare when unstrung.

If you have a target selected (player or animal, not [[archery target]]), you can also use the 'ranged' icon if you have the bow equipped.

The arrows shot first are the ones in your [[quiver]] on your body, next are the ones in your quiver in your inventory, and last are the ones in your inventory. If you have an empty quiver in your inventory, no arrows in your inventory or in other quivers in your inventory will be shot.

If a quiver is found in the inventory but it is empty, no arrow will be shot. This gives you good control over which arrows are shot. Arrows are fired in the following order: 1. War arrows, 2. Hunting arrows, 3. Arrow shafts.

*The best bows are made from [[willow]].
*Arrows made from [[cedar]] are easier to improve.
*Arrows made from [[maple]] take less damage.

*[[Quality]] of the [[bow string]] affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the arrow affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the bow affects the damage done.

*Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 wurm time).

*Wearing a [[shield]] can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
*Bows work best when fired at their best range. ( For example, if you shoot longbow from 10 tiles you will be missing more than if you were shooting at 20 tiles. ) If you try to fire closer than their minimum range you will not shoot.
{| border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="5" style="text-align:center;"
!Bow || Minimum Range || Best Range
|-
|[[Short bow]]|| None || 5 Tiles
|-
|[[Bow]]|| 5 Tiles || 10 Tiles
|-
|[[Long bow]]|| 10 tiles || 20 Tiles
|}

== Enchanting ==
In general anything that affects speed, accuracy or skill gain works on the bow only. Anything that affects damage works only on arrows.
* The following enchantments are known to work fully on bows : [[Blessings of the dark|Blessings of the Dark]], [[Bloodthirst]], [[Circle of Cunning]], and [[Nimbleness]].
* The following enchantments are known to work on arrows: [[demise_spells | Demise spells]], [[Flaming Aura]], [[Frostbrand]], [[Rotten Touch]], [[Venom]] and presumably [[Life transfer| Life Transfer]] and [[Mind stealer|Mind Stealer]].
* [[Wind of Ages]] is believed to only work when practicing on an [[archery target]].

== Skill based options ==
At various points in your bow skill progression you get the following special shooting options:
* When you have 30 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Shoot Quickly''' option. 
* When you have 35 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Torso''' option. 
* When you have 40 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at right arm''' and '''Aim at left arm''' options. 
* When you have 50 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Head''' option. 
* When you have 60 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Face''' option. 
* When you have 70 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Legs''' option. 

Note: these options can be accessed via right-click menu (when right-clicking on the enemy with bow equipped and activated) .

== Damage ==
There are a number of factors which dictate roughly how much damage you'll deliver when shooting a target.
*Height bonus, shooting down at your target will increase damage, shooting up will reduce it.
*Arrow quality, higher quality arrows do more damage
*Bow quality, higher quality bows do more damage
*Criticals, they can happen
*Armour, reduces the amount of damage taken when the shot is successful
*Enchants, bloodthirst on the bow and FA/RT/FB on the arrows boost damage
*Creature status (champion/greenish/raging) has no impact on the damage dealt, if it takes 22 war arrows to kill a scorpion then it would take the same 22 war arrows to kill a champion scorpion.
For players armour is a choice but for animals its a set static value and generally the tougher animals have stronger hides. Using [[bulk storage bin|BSB'd]] arrows for a consistent quality you can easily see the relative defensive strengths of creatures. Unsurprisingly crocodiles and scorpions are difficult to kill with arrows while mountain lions, rats and wild cats are very very easy. From this we can see that an un-armoured player has roughly the same natural armour as a wild cat. The damage delivered has changed over time during combat rebalancing so it makes sense to occasionally revisit how many arrows it takes to kill a particular target type.

At lower skill levels, net damage rate from bows is tiny compared to melee weapons. For example, with Fighting skill and relevant sword skill at 10, it is easy to kill a level 1 animal; with Fighting and relevant bow skill at 10, a level 1 animal has to stand still for you to shoot about 100 arrows to kill it. Considering that tons of arrows are needed, that arrows last only about 5 uses, and that each arrow takes about as much effort to prepare (''improve'') as a sword does, archery at low levels has an astronomical time-investment to fighting-effectiveness ratio.

== Skillgain tips ==
* You may gain up to 30 skill in a bow type by practicing on an [[archery target]]. The main archery skill is also limited to 40 while practicing on an archery target. When 40 main skill is hit, you will no longer be able to gain any skill from archery targets. It is possible to to gain 30 skill in one bow type, then begin a new bow type until your main skill reaches 40. The curve does not apply here, you are still able to get 40 archery on Epic with an [[archery target]].
* Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing in this way as they are far easier to make and won't damage the target too much. Arrows that arent broken can be picked up at the archery target.
* Firing on the target from outside your bow's optimal range will increase the difficulty, and thus increase your skillgain at higher skill levels.
* Practicing at night will similarly increase the difficultly, so if you find the skillgain slowing you may want to practice when it's dark instead.
* Beyond 40 skill the only way to gain further is by using archery on animals or in player vs. player combat. Unlike fighting skill, you gain random archery skill for every shot and optimum archery skill for every successful damage dealt. Fighting skill is also gained after a successful kill.
* Using other players as targets to train is effective at any level. There is a 3 hour cooldown, which begins after the event message "You will not gain skill for attacking #### for a few hours".
* WLers shooting same kingdom will go [[Hunted]].
* Skillgain is affected by [[Sleep bonus]].
* You can no longer gain archery and sub-archery skills from bred animals.
* Priests of Vynora and Fo cannot use bows.

'''Chrysanthy's Archery Test'''
*The test was conducted on August 28, 2014 to look into the effect of quality of the bow and arrows to damage and accuracy (no other factors were considered). The test was done during daytime wurm time to eliminate the accuracy penalty during night time and on flat surface to eliminate height bonus/penalty.

Chrysanthy has the following skills and the test data is given below:

*Bow Used: Long Bow
* Archery Skill: 40.43
*Long Bow Skill: 30.30

Using 70.01ql longbow
*Arrow Shaft Quality: 40.18
*Archery Target Quality: 36.82
*Damage on the Target: 5.89
*Number of Successful Hits: 20/20

*Arrow Shaft Quality: 13.13
*Archery Target Quality: 36.30
*Damage on the Target: 3.94
*Number of Successful Hits: 19/20

Using 50.25ql longbow
*Arrow Shaft Quality: 40.18
*Archery Target Quality: 35.69
*Damage on the Target: 3.73
*Number of Successful Hits: 18/20

*Arrow Shaft Quality: 13.13
*Archery Target Quality: 34.90
*Damage on the Target: 3.01
*Number of Successful Hits: 14/20

Findings:
*The higher the quality of the bow, the greater the damage it deals.
*The higher the quality of the bow, the higher accuracy rate it has.
*The higher the quality of the arrow, the greater the damage it deals.
*The higher the quality of the arrow, the higher accuracy rate it has.

* When you have 50 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Head''' option. 
* When you have 60 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Face''' option. 
* When you have 70 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Legs''' option. 

Note: these options can be accessed via right-click menu (when right-clicking on the enemy with bow equipped and activated) .

== Damage ==
There are a number of factors which dictate roughly how much damage you'll deliver when shooting a target.
*Height bonus, shooting down at your target will increase damage, shooting up will reduce it.
*Arrow quality, higher quality arrows do more damage
*Bow quality, higher quality bows do more damage
*Criticals, they can happen
*Armour, reduces the amount of damage taken when the shot is successful
*Enchants, bloodthirst on the bow and FA/RT/FB on the arrows boost damage
*Creature status (champion/greenish/raging) has no impact on the damage dealt, if it takes 22 war arrows to kill a scorpion then it would take the same 22 war arrows to kill a champion scorpion.
For players armour is a choice but for animals its a set static value and generally the tougher animals have stronger hides. Using [[bulk storage bin|BSB'd]] arrows for a consistent quality you can easily see the relative defensive strengths of creatures. Unsurprisingly crocodiles and scorpions are difficult to kill with arrows while mountain lions, rats and wild cats are very very easy. From this we can see that an un-armoured player has roughly the same natural armour as a wild cat. The damage delivered has changed over time during combat rebalancing so it makes sense to occasionally revisit how many arrows it takes to kill a particular target type.

At lower skill levels, net damage rate from bows is tiny compared to melee weapons. For example, with Fighting skill and relevant sword skill at 10, it is easy to kill a level 1 animal; with Fighting and relevant bow skill at 10, a level 1 animal has to stand still for you to shoot about 100 arrows to kill it. Considering that tons of arrows are needed, that arrows last only about 5 uses, and that each arrow takes about as much effort to prepare (''improve'') as a sword does, archery at low levels has an astronomical time-investment to fighting-effectiveness ratio.

== Skillgain tips ==
* You may gain up to 30 skill in a bow type by practicing on an [[archery target]]. The main archery skill is also limited to 40 while practicing on an archery target. When 40 main skill is hit, you will no longer be able to gain any skill from archery targets. It is possible to to gain 30 skill in one bow type, then begin a new bow type until your main skill reaches 40. The curve does not apply here, you are still able to get 40 archery on Epic with an [[archery target]].
* Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing in this way as they are far easier to make and won't damage the target too much. Arrows that arent broken can be picked up at the archery target.
* Firing on the target from outside your bow's optimal range will increase the difficulty, and thus increase your skillgain at higher skill levels.
* Practicing at night will similarly increase the difficultly, so if you find the skillgain slowing you may want to practice when it's dark instead.
* Beyond 40 skill the only way to gain further is by using archery on animals or in player vs. player combat. Unlike fighting skill, you gain archery skill for every successful damage and not for every successful kill.
* Using other players as targets to train is effective at any level. There is a 3 hour cooldown, which begins after the event message "You will not gain skill for attacking #### for a few hours".
* WLers shooting same kingdom will go [[Hunted]].
* Skillgain is affected by [[Sleep bonus]].
* You can no longer gain archery and sub-archery skills from bred animals.
* Priests of Vynora and Fo cannot use bows.

'''Chrysanthy's Archery Test'''
*The test was conducted on August 28, 2014 to look into the effect of quality of the bow and arrows to damage and accuracy (no other factors were considered). The test was done during daytime wurm time to eliminate the accuracy penalty during night time and on flat surface to eliminate height bonus/penalty.

[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
Archery is a skill which involves an [[:Category:Arrows|arrow]] and a [[:Category:Bows|bow]].

==== Characteristic gained ====
Body / [[Body Control]]

== Method ==
To shoot you need to equip a bow in your hands and activate it, and then right click on your target. Make sure the bow is strung. Rare bow string strung in a bow will go unrare when unstrung.

If you have a target selected (player or animal, not [[archery target]]), you can also use the 'ranged' icon if you have the bow equipped.

The arrows shot first are the ones in your [[quiver]] on your body, next are the ones in your quiver in your inventory, and last are the ones in your inventory. If you have an empty quiver in your inventory, no arrows in your inventory or in other quivers in your inventory will be shot.

If a quiver is found in the inventory but it is empty, no arrow will be shot. This gives you good control over which arrows are shot. Arrows are fired in the following order: 1. War arrows, 2. Hunting arrows, 3. Arrow shafts.

*The best bows are made from [[willow]].
*Arrows made from [[cedar]] are easier to improve.
*Arrows made from [[maple]] take less damage.

*[[Quality]] of the [[bow string]] affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the arrow affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the bow affects the damage done.

*Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 wurm time).

*Wearing a [[shield]] can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
*Bows work best when fired at their best range. ( For example, if you shoot longbow from 10 tiles you will be missing more than if you were shooting at 20 tiles. ) If you try to fire closer than their minimum range you will not shoot.
{| border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="5" style="text-align:center;"
!Bow || Minimum Range || Best Range
|-
|[[Short bow]]|| None || 5 Tiles
|-
|[[Bow]]|| 5 Tiles || 10 Tiles
|-
|[[Long bow]]|| 10 tiles || 20 Tiles
|}

== Enchanting ==
In general anything that affects speed, accuracy or skill gain works on the bow only. Anything that affects damage works only on arrows.
* The following enchantments are known to work fully on bows : [[Blessings of the dark|Blessings of the Dark]], [[Bloodthirst]], [[Circle of Cunning]], and [[Nimbleness]].
* The following enchantments are known to work on arrows: [[demise_spells | Demise spells]], [[Flaming Aura]], [[Frostbrand]], [[Rotten Touch]], [[Venom]] and presumably [[Life transfer| Life Transfer]] and [[Mind stealer|Mind Stealer]].
* [[Wind of Ages]] is believed to only work when practicing on an [[archery target]].

== Skill based options ==
At various points in your bow skill progression you get the following special shooting options:
* When you have 30 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Shoot Quickly''' option. 
* When you have 35 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Torso''' option. 
* When you have 40 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at right arm''' and '''Aim at left arm''' options. 
* When you have 50 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Head''' option. 
* When you have 60 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Face''' option. 
* When you have 70 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Legs''' option.

== Description ==
''A large kiln-like structure made from logs covered in dirt. The purpose is to turn the logs into tar and charcoal.''

'''Charcoal pile''' is a large structure made from [[log]]s and [[pile of dirt|dirt]] and lit up with a [[kindling]]. When it burns, it slowly creates [[charcoal]], [[tar]] and [[ash]]. They are mainly used to create charcoal in order to make [[steel lump]]s.

== Creating ==
* The [[quality]] of the kindling affects the chance of creating a charcoal pile.
* The log and dirt affect the rate of increase in quality of the pile when building, according to your [[coal-making]] skill. The quality level is not limited by skill, it is limited by the quality of the components added. A quality 20 pile will yield approximately 14 tar, charcoal and ash.
* It uses 1 Kindling and 1 Log to create. Using combined kindling will use the entire combined amount.
* Pile cannot be created or continued inside a [[House (general)|house]].

== Usage ==
* After finished, light the pile with your [[steel and flint]], with a kindling in your inventory. The pile will slowly damage and create charcoal, tar and ash. A pile will burn for one to six real life days, accumulating the products over time. The higher the quality, the longer the pile will burn and the more product it will produce.

*Battlepants' test for the approximation of pile quality and number of produce.
*29.75ql birchpile produced 17 charcoals
*56.58ql birchpile produced 30 charcoals
*46.01ql walnutpile produced 25 charcoals

* The pile products can be removed at any time without harm to further production. Damage on charcoal piles no longer reduces the quality of the items created as of 06 March 2014
* Light as soon as possible. Unlit piles will soon start to take "invisible" damage till lit, which is when the damage becomes apparent.

== Notes ==
* A single charcoal, ash, and tar is produced at each decay tick.
* Wood type affects production:
** Cedarwood piles burn slower due to their decay tick mechanic, but produce the same amount as a non special wood type.
** Oakenwood piles produce more charcoal as they take less decay per tick and thus have more ticks.
** Walnut Piles give a 10% bonus on the quality of the items it produces.
** Other wood types appear to have no effect on burn time or charcoal production.
* The last log added determines the wood type of the pile. So you could add 20 pine logs, but have the final one added be an oak log, and you would get an oak charcoal pile.
* Ash decays fast, even inside the pile as it burns.
* Making 31 piles from discovery without sleep bonus will net around 24 Coal-making Skill.
* It is possible to get a [[Rare item|rarity drumroll]] while continuing a [[charcoal pile]] which will produce a random number of rare [[charcoal]], [[ash]] and [[tar]].

* The [[quality]] of the kindling affects the chance of creating a charcoal pile.
* The log and dirt affect the rate of increase in quality of the pile when building, according to your [[coal-making]] skill. The quality level is not limited by skill, it is limited by the quality of the components added. A quality 20 pile will yield approximately 14 tar, charcoal and ash.
* It uses 1 Kindling and 1 Log to create. Using combined kindling will use the entire combined amount.
* Pile cannot be created or continued inside a [[House (general)|house]].

== Usage ==
* After finished, light the pile with your [[steel and flint]], with a kindling in your inventory. The pile will slowly damage and create charcoal, tar and ash. A pile will burn for one to six real life days, accumulating the products over time. The higher the quality, the longer the pile will burn and the more product it will produce.

*Battlepants' test for the approximation of pile quality and number of produce.
*29.75ql birchpile produced 17 charcoals
*56.58ql birchpile produced 30 charcoals
*46.01ql walnutpile produced 25 charcoals

* The pile products can be removed at any time without harm to further production. Damage on charcoal piles no longer reduces the quality of the items created as of 06 March 2014
* Light as soon as possible. Unlit piles will soon start to take "invisible" damage till lit, which is when the damage becomes apparent.

== Notes ==
* A single charcoal, ash, and tar is produced at each decay tick.
* Wood type affects production:
** Cedarwood piles burn slower due to their decay tick mechanic, but produce the same amount as a non special wood type.
** Oakenwood piles produce more charcoal as they take less decay per tick and thus have more ticks.
** Walnut Piles give a 10% bonus on the quality of the items it produces.
** Other wood types appear to have no effect on burn time or charcoal production.
* The last log added determines the wood type of the pile. So you could add 20 pine logs, but have the final one added be an oak log, and you would get an oak charcoal pile.
* Ash decays fast, even inside the pile as it burns.
* Making 31 piles from discovery without sleep bonus will net around 24 Coal-making Skill.
* It is possible to get a [[Rare item|rarity drumroll]] while continuing a [[charcoal pile]] which will produce a random number of rare [[charcoal]], [[ash]] and [[tar]].

Chrysanthy: /* Chrysanthy's Archery Test */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
Archery is a skill which involves an [[:Category:Arrows|arrow]] and a [[:Category:Bows|bow]].

==== Characteristic gained ====
Body / [[Body Control]]

== Method ==
To shoot you need to equip a bow in your hands and activate it, and then right click on your target. Make sure the bow is strung.

If you have a target selected (player or animal, not [[archery target]]), you can also use the 'ranged' icon if you have the bow equipped.

The arrows shot first are the ones in your [[quiver]] on your body, next are the ones in your quiver in your inventory, and last are the ones in your inventory. If you have an empty quiver in your inventory, no arrows in your inventory or in other quivers in your inventory will be shot.

If a quiver is found in the inventory but it is empty, no arrow will be shot. This gives you good control over which arrows are shot. Arrows are fired in the following order: 1. War arrows, 2. Hunting arrows, 3. Arrow shafts.

*The best bows are made from [[willow]].
*Arrows made from [[cedar]] are easier to improve.
*Arrows made from [[maple]] take less damage.

*[[Quality]] of the [[bow string]] affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the arrow affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the bow affects the damage done.

*Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 wurm time).

*Wearing a [[shield]] can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
*Bows work best when fired at their best range. ( For example, if you shoot longbow from 10 tiles you will be missing more than if you were shooting at 20 tiles. ) If you try to fire closer than their minimum range you will not shoot.
{| border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="5" style="text-align:center;"
!Bow || Minimum Range || Best Range
|-
|[[Short bow]]|| None || 5 Tiles
|-
|[[Bow]]|| 5 Tiles || 10 Tiles
|-
|[[Long bow]]|| 10 tiles || 20 Tiles
|}

== Enchanting ==
In general anything that affects speed, accuracy or skill gain works on the bow only. Anything that affects damage works only on arrows.
* The following enchantments are known to work fully on bows : [[Blessings of the dark|Blessings of the Dark]], [[Bloodthirst]], [[Circle of Cunning]], and [[Nimbleness]].
* The following enchantments are known to work on arrows: [[demise_spells | Demise spells]], [[Flaming Aura]], [[Frostbrand]], [[Rotten Touch]], [[Venom]] and presumably [[Life transfer| Life Transfer]] and [[Mind stealer|Mind Stealer]].
* [[Wind of Ages]] is believed to only work when practicing on an [[archery target]].

== Skill based options ==
At various points in your bow skill progression you get the following special shooting options:
* When you have 30 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Shoot Quickly''' option. 
* When you have 35 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Torso''' option. 
* When you have 40 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at right arm''' and '''Aim at left arm''' options. 
* When you have 50 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Head''' option. 
* When you have 60 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Face''' option. 
* When you have 70 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Legs''' option. 

Note: these options can be accessed via right-click menu (when right-clicking on the enemy with bow equipped and activated) .

== Damage ==
There are a number of factors which dictate roughly how much damage you'll deliver when shooting a target.
*Height bonus, shooting down at your target will increase damage, shooting up will reduce it.
*Arrow quality, higher quality arrows do more damage
*Bow quality, higher quality bows do more damage
*Criticals, they can happen
*Armour, reduces the amount of damage taken when the shot is successful
*Enchants, bloodthirst on the bow and FA/RT/FB on the arrows boost damage
*Creature status (champion/greenish/raging) has no impact on the damage dealt, if it takes 22 war arrows to kill a scorpion then it would take the same 22 war arrows to kill a champion scorpion.
For players armour is a choice but for animals its a set static value and generally the tougher animals have stronger hides. Using [[bulk storage bin|BSB'd]] arrows for a consistent quality you can easily see the relative defensive strengths of creatures. Unsurprisingly crocodiles and scorpions are difficult to kill with arrows while mountain lions, rats and wild cats are very very easy. From this we can see that an un-armoured player has roughly the same natural armour as a wild cat. The damage delivered has changed over time during combat rebalancing so it makes sense to occasionally revisit how many arrows it takes to kill a particular target type.

At lower skill levels, net damage rate from bows is tiny compared to melee weapons. For example, with Fighting skill and relevant sword skill at 10, it is easy to kill a level 1 animal; with Fighting and relevant bow skill at 10, a level 1 animal has to stand still for you to shoot about 100 arrows to kill it. Considering that tons of arrows are needed, that arrows last only about 5 uses, and that each arrow takes about as much effort to prepare (''improve'') as a sword does, archery at low levels has an astronomical time-investment to fighting-effectiveness ratio.

== Skillgain tips ==
* You may gain up to 30 skill in a bow type by practicing on an [[archery target]]. The main archery skill is also limited to 40 while practicing on an archery target. When 40 main skill is hit, you will no longer be able to gain any skill from archery targets. It is possible to to gain 30 skill in one bow type, then begin a new bow type until your main skill reaches 40. The curve does not apply here, you are still able to get 40 archery on Epic with an [[archery target]].
* Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing in this way as they are far easier to make and won't damage the target too much. Arrows that arent broken can be picked up at the archery target.
* Firing on the target from outside your bow's optimal range will increase the difficulty, and thus increase your skillgain at higher skill levels.
* Practicing at night will similarly increase the difficultly, so if you find the skillgain slowing you may want to practice when it's dark instead.
* Beyond 40 skill the only way to gain further is by using archery on animals or in player vs. player combat. Unlike fighting skill, you gain archery skill for every successful damage and not for every successful kill.
* Using other players as targets to train is effective at any level. There is a 3 hour cooldown, which begins after the event message "You will not gain skill for attacking #### for a few hours".
* WLers shooting same kingdom will go [[Hunted]].
* Skillgain is affected by [[Sleep bonus]].
* You can no longer gain archery and sub-archery skills from bred animals.
* Priests of Vynora and Fo cannot use bows.

*[[Short bow]]
''Note: When a bow is unstrung, even if it has not been used and was strung minutes ago, the bowstring will be worse than before strung. Avoid unstringing and re-stringing if you can. Rare bow string will go unrare when unstrung.''

== Chrysanthy's Archery Test ==
The test was conducted on August 28, 2014 to look into the effect of quality of the bow and arrows to damage and accuracy (no other factors were considered). The test was done during daytime wurm time to eliminate the accuracy penalty during night time and on flat surface to eliminate height bonus/penalty.

Chrysanthy has the following skills and the test data is given below:

*Bow Used: Long Bow
* Archery Skill: 40.43
*Long Bow Skill: 30.30

Using 70.01ql longbow
*Arrow Shaft Quality: 40.18

*Damage on the Target: 3.73
*Number of Successful Hits: 18/20

*Arrow Shaft Quality: 13.13
*Archery Target Quality: 34.90
*Damage on the Target: 3.01
*Number of Successful Hits: 14/20

* If the creation attempt fails, the ribbon and plank are damaged.
* The last plank attached determines the [[trees|wood type]] of the chest if the plank is the last component to be attached.
* Cannot be picked up (unlike the [[small chest]]). Drops to the ground where you are standing when you attach the last piece.
* Can be pushed/pulled/rotated.
* With a [[Small padlock|small]] or [[large padlock]] attached, it is a secure storage for items. Be careful not to lose the [[key]] though.
* Large chest that are loaded and unloaded from a cart/wagon regain the ability to be renamed.

== Tips ==
* As is the case with many other items, it is recommended (especially if it's not to be placed on a [[deed]]) to create this chest from [[cedar]].
* It's possible (and in many cases recommended) to make a copy of the key from [[copper lump|copper]].
* Destroying the large chest by bashing will not destroy the items inside it. The items will just simply drop on the ground.

* Items that can be stored in large chests are:
:All forms of armor.
:Various smaller items.
:[[Short Bow]]

* Items that can not be stored in large chests are:

Archery

2014-08-25T03:55:02Z

Chrysanthy: /* Skillgain tips */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
Archery is a skill which involves an [[:Category:Arrows|arrow]] and a [[:Category:Bows|bow]].

==== Characteristic gained ====
Body / [[Body Control]]

== Method ==
To shoot you need to equip a bow in your hands and activate it, and then right click on your target. Make sure the bow is strung.

If you have a target selected (player or animal, not [[archery target]]), you can also use the 'ranged' icon if you have the bow equipped.

The arrows shot first are the ones in your [[quiver]] on your body, next are the ones in your quiver in your inventory, and last are the ones in your inventory. If you have an empty quiver in your inventory, no arrows in your inventory or in other quivers in your inventory will be shot.

If a quiver is found in the inventory but it is empty, no arrow will be shot. This gives you good control over which arrows are shot. Arrows are fired in the following order: 1. War arrows, 2. Hunting arrows, 3. Arrow shafts.

*The best bows are made from [[willow]].
*Arrows made from [[cedar]] are easier to improve.
*Arrows made from [[maple]] take less damage.

*[[Quality]] of the [[bow string]] affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the arrow affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the bow affects the damage done.

*Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 wurm time).

*Wearing a [[shield]] can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
*Bows work best when fired at their best range. ( For example, if you shoot longbow from 10 tiles you will be missing more than if you were shooting at 20 tiles. ) If you try to fire closer than their minimum range you will not shoot.
{| border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="5" style="text-align:center;"
!Bow || Minimum Range || Best Range
|-
|[[Short bow]]|| None || 5 Tiles
|-
|[[Bow]]|| 5 Tiles || 10 Tiles
|-
|[[Long bow]]|| 10 tiles || 20 Tiles
|}

== Enchanting ==
In general anything that affects speed, accuracy or skill gain works on the bow only. Anything that affects damage works only on arrows.
* The following enchantments are known to work fully on bows : [[Blessings of the dark|Blessings of the Dark]], [[Bloodthirst]], [[Circle of Cunning]], and [[Nimbleness]].
* The following enchantments are known to work on arrows: [[demise_spells | Demise spells]], [[Flaming Aura]], [[Frostbrand]], [[Rotten Touch]], [[Venom]] and presumably [[Life transfer| Life Transfer]] and [[Mind stealer|Mind Stealer]].
* [[Wind of Ages]] is believed to only work when practicing on an [[archery target]].

== Skill based options ==
At various points in your bow skill progression you get the following special shooting options:
* When you have 30 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Shoot Quickly''' option. 
* When you have 35 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Torso''' option. 
* When you have 40 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at right arm''' and '''Aim at left arm''' options. 
* When you have 50 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Head''' option. 
* When you have 60 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Face''' option. 
* When you have 70 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Legs''' option. 

Note: these options can be accessed via right-click menu (when right-clicking on the enemy with bow equipped and activated) .

== Damage ==
There are a number of factors which dictate roughly how much damage you'll deliver when shooting a target.
*Height bonus, shooting down at your target will increase damage, shooting up will reduce it.
*Arrow quality, higher quality arrows do more damage
*Bow quality, higher quality bows do more damage
*Criticals, they can happen
*Armour, reduces the amount of damage taken when the shot is successful
*Enchants, bloodthirst on the bow and FA/RT/FB on the arrows boost damage
*Creature status (champion/greenish/raging) has no impact on the damage dealt, if it takes 22 war arrows to kill a scorpion then it would take the same 22 war arrows to kill a champion scorpion.
For players armour is a choice but for animals its a set static value and generally the tougher animals have stronger hides. Using [[bulk storage bin|BSB'd]] arrows for a consistent quality you can easily see the relative defensive strengths of creatures. Unsurprisingly crocodiles and scorpions are difficult to kill with arrows while mountain lions, rats and wild cats are very very easy. From this we can see that an un-armoured player has roughly the same natural armour as a wild cat. The damage delivered has changed over time during combat rebalancing so it makes sense to occasionally revisit how many arrows it takes to kill a particular target type.

At lower skill levels, net damage rate from bows is tiny compared to melee weapons. For example, with Fighting skill and relevant sword skill at 10, it is easy to kill a level 1 animal; with Fighting and relevant bow skill at 10, a level 1 animal has to stand still for you to shoot about 100 arrows to kill it. Considering that tons of arrows are needed, that arrows last only about 5 uses, and that each arrow takes about as much effort to prepare (''improve'') as a sword does, archery at low levels has an astronomical time-investment to fighting-effectiveness ratio.

== Skillgain tips ==
* You may gain up to 30 skill in a bow type by practicing on an [[archery target]]. The main archery skill is also limited to 40 while practicing on an archery target. When 40 main skill is hit, you will no longer be able to gain any skill from archery targets. It is possible to to gain 30 skill in one bow type, then begin a new bow type until your main skill reaches 40. The curve does not apply here, you are still able to get 40 archery on Epic with an [[archery target]].
* Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing in this way as they are far easier to make and won't damage the target too much. Arrows that arent broken can be picked up at the archery target.
* Firing on the target from outside your bow's optimal range will increase the difficulty, and thus increase your skillgain at higher skill levels.
* Practicing at night will similarly increase the difficultly, so if you find the skillgain slowing you may want to practice when it's dark instead.
* Beyond 40 skill the only way to gain further is by using archery on animals or in player vs. player combat. Unlike fighting skill, you gain archery skill for every successful damage and not for every successful kill.
* Using other players as targets to train is effective at any level. There is a 3 hour cooldown, which begins after the event message "You will not gain skill for attacking #### for a few hours".
* WLers shooting same kingdom will go [[Hunted]].
* Skillgain is affected by [[Sleep bonus]].
* You can no longer gain archery and sub-archery skills from bred animals.
* Priests of Vynora and Fo cannot use bows.

|group=Bows
|materials=* None
|result=* '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (1.00 kg)
|skill=Bowyery
}}

== Description ==
''An elegant, small and quick bow that will fire moderately far with good accuracy.''

'''Short bow''' is best made out of [[willow]]. Examining it will then say, "''The willow wood used in this bow gives it good strength yet supreme flexibility.''"

Stringing with a [[bow string]] is needed to make the bow functional. Before that, examining it will say: "''An unstringed small bow.''"

One strung Short bow is a component in making a [[bow trap]].

== Shooting ==
This weapon is best used at 5 tiles range, or 20 m when looking through a [[spyglass]]. Higher [[Skills:Short_bow|skill]] in this weapon gives more shooting options when used.

Bows must be wielded in your hands to be fired. Bows are two handed weapons, and cannot be equipped unless both hands are empty and you aren't wearing a shield.

See the [[archery]] page for more.

==Storage==
Can be stored in a [[bow rack]] or in a regular [[large chest]].

== Description ==
''A long slender bow that must be fired pretty far for good accuracy. It will then provide a hefty punch.''

'''Long bow''' is best made out of [[willow]]. Examining it will then say, "''The willow wood used in this bow gives it good strength yet supreme flexibility.''"

Stringing with a [[bow string]] is needed to make the bow functional. Before that, examining it will say: "A long but unstringed slender bow.''"

== Shooting ==

This weapon is best used at 20 tiles range, or 80 m when looking through a [[spyglass]]. It requires a minimum range of 10 tiles. Higher [[Skills:Long_bow|skill]] in this weapon gives more shooting options when used.
The long bow has the furthest range of hand-held weapons in game. Long bows at a long range can give very nasty wounds with a good enough bow.

Bows must be wielded in your hands to be fired. Bows are two handed weapons, and cannot be equipped unless both hands are empty and you aren't wearing a shield.

See the [[archery]] page for more.

==Storage==
Can be stored in a [[bow rack]]. Does not fit in a regular [[large chest]].
