DoubleDigger: Affliction map reset changes - size and starter town

[[Main Page]] :: [[Server Types]]

{{disclaimer}}

== Introduction ==

Wurm currently has the following types of servers that players can access:
:*Tutorial (Also known as Golden Valley)
:*Freedom cluster 1 [[PvE]] (Independence, Deliverance, Exodus, and Celebration)
:*Freedom cluster 2 [[PvE]] (Pristine and Release)
:*Freedom cluster 1 [[PvP]] (Chaos, which used to be called Wild)
:*Epic [[PvP]] (Elevation, Desertion, Affliction, and Serenity)

'''Other servers'''

There is a [[test server]] which allows testing of new game content.

[[Astrology:Valrei|Valrei]], a moon of Wurm, has a special server on which battles between the gods take place. We mere-mortals can not visit the moon with our avatars, but we can follow these events remotely via a twitter feed and maps. Avatars on the Epic servers can assist their god by completing missions, and can potentially be rewarded for their efforts. ''See [[Scenarios]] for more information.''

Finally there is a logon server which is part of the Wurm infrastructure used to manage accounts. If this server is down, no accounts can logon to any of the other servers.

== Server travel map ==
You can sail across some server borders, depending on which cluster it belongs to. This will leave your skills and items intact. Animals cannot cross server borders.

You can use an [[Epic portal]] to travel between a Freedom cluster and the [[Epic cluster]]. Please read [[Epic portal|here]] what happens to your skills and items!

''Notes: ''
*''At this moment it is not possible to travel between Freedom cluster 1 and Freedom cluster 2. A character on Epic who has once chosen to travel to Freedom cluster 1 cannot use the Epic portal to go to Freedom cluster 2, and vice versa.''
*''Currently Pristine and Release are inaccessible by any other means than traveling to them from the tutorial.''

For an overview see the [http://wurmmapsearch.net84.net/Overmap.html Travel map].

: [1] Enemy kingdoms can still be on this server, but they cannot create towers or deeds.
: [2] Possible to attack other players, but you will become an outlaw. In PvP zones however you can attack all players.
: [3] Only applies to natural veins. A Rod of Transmutation will create a 99QL vein. (From Rolf : This is expected)

== Server type details ==

=== Tutorial server ===

The Tutorial server (Golden Valley) is where all new accounts are created. The aim of the tutorial is to introduce the player to the game mechanics. Players may then move on from the tutorial area to any of the player servers using [[portal]]s. (Premium must be purchased to be able to move to the Elevation server.)

Premium time has no effect till the player leaves the server, as the Tutorial server only allows basic accounts. Thus skills are limited to a maximum of 20 and resource quality is also limited to 20. There are no gods or altars present on the Tutorial server.

The tutorial was built on the Golden Valley server. New players are spawned in the tutorial area and cannot leave other than through the portals to the Epic and Freedom servers. However accounts that were active before the tutorial was created are currently able to stay outside the tutorial area. These accounts are able to transfer to the other servers, but some have chosen to remain. PvP, theft, deeds, and [[guard tower]]s are not allowed on the Tutorial server.

=== Freedom servers cluster 1 ===

The entire area of each server is automatically claimed as Freedom kingdom territory, so guard towers are not required to plant deeds.

Griefing is frowned upon, and is a potentially bannable offense. [[GMs]] will police these servers as needed, but ideally the game rules should take care of things automatically. Moderators police the kingdom chat channels to ensure the chat rules are followed.

The original Freedom server was Independence. The second one was Deliverance, which is situated to the south of Independence. This was followed by Exodus, to the south of Deliverance.

The old Wild server became the fourth server to join Freedom. It is now known as the Chaos server and can be accessed by sailing across the west border of any of the three servers above. However, sailing back east across the border from Chaos will only take you to Deliverance.

Later, Celebration [http://wurmonline.tumblr.com/post/24127944261/celebration-opened/ release note] was added to the south of Exodus. At this time, it is not directly connected to Chaos.

All of the freedom clusters were connected when Xanadu was opened to the east of this cluster.

=== Freedom servers cluster 2 ===

Follows Freedom servers rule set (see above). This is a new cluster starting with Pristine at the official release of Wurm Online 1.0 which wasn't connected to freedom cluster 1 for one and a half years in order to provide that total newbie feeling. The second server in this cluster was Release, which is situated to the South border of Pristine. Sailing west from either of these servers leads you to Xanadu.

=== Freedom servers cluster 3 ===

The new Freedom server of Xanadu was isolated from the other servers for a few weeks. After that, it was connected to freedom cluster 1 to the west and freedom cluster 2 to the east. Sailing west from Xanadu leads you to Deliverance and sailing east from Xanadu leads you to Release.

=== Chaos server ===

The Chaos server is a PvP enabled Freedom cluster server. It can be access by sailing west from Independence, Deliverance, or Exodus. Upon arriving here you are automatically in the Freedom Isles kingdom and can join other Player Made Kingdoms. Sailing back East to Deliverance will put you back in the Freedom Isles kingdom, while returning to Chaos will put you back to whatever kingdom you were in when you left.
Full PvP is enabled here between the Freedom Isles and Player Made Kingdoms. You can fully raid deeds, pick locks and bash things on deed.

GMs generally avoid intervening in PvP server affairs. However, excessive griefing and other violations of the game rules will be punished as appropriate.

=== Epic servers ===
Please refer to [[Epic Cluster]] for more information on these servers.

=== Test server ===
The [[test server]] exists to test large game updates before they are added to the main servers.

Mining

2012-07-25T02:05:15Z

DoubleDigger: /* Warning messages */

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

== Description ==
'''Mining''' is the skill of excavating [[rock shards]] and [[ore]] veins.

==== Characteristics gained ====
Body / [[Body strength]], [[Body stamina]]

Mind / [[Mind logic]]

Soul / [[Soul strength]]

== Method ==
There are several "modes" of mining, depending on where and what you mine. The method is much the same for all of them: Activate a [[pickaxe]], right-click the place to mine and select Mining -> (action).

Because Wurm is not a true 3D world, the cave layer is essentially a second world beneath the surface world. It is possible to mine upwards and downwards with a few limitations. You may not mine upward out of rock and into the [[dirt]] that is covering it. You can mine downward until you reach the [[water]] table, but can not mine deeper than one tile level below water level. It is also not possible to have one tunnel pass under or over another without forming a vertical shaft. Each tile is essentially a pillar, so if two tunnels cross at different elevations they create a shaft going from the upper tunnel to the lower tunnel. his can be useful when done intentionally. It can also ruin your mine if unplanned. Planning your mine with an overhead view of your mine on graph paper can save you some heartache.

=== Opening a mine ===
The first step in all mines is to make a mine entrance on the surface. This can be done on any [[cliff]] or [[rock]] tile. Equip a mining pick, and select the "Tunnel" option. After 51 tunneling actions, the message "You will soon create an entrance" will appear. A few actions later an entrance will be created. The exact value is random, averaging around 5 mining actions after the message appears.

Tunneling on a shallow [[slope]] is dangerous since you are basically mining straight down and may dig yourself into a steep slope or a pit. A slope of 10+ is probably safe (estimate). The good news is that a poor tunnel slopes can be fixed. The bad news is that it is a lot of work!

Tunnels can not be opened if the northwest corner is more than 4 dirts below [[Water#Water level|water level]].

=== Opening a ship tunnel ===
Look for a [[rock]] tile that is approximately two-thirds below the [[Water#Water level|waterline]]. Needing to [[dredge]] such a [[tile]] is not unusual, especially to make the surrounding terrain look natural for those concealed ship docks.

The important thing is ''not'' to tunnel the ship entrance from the surface. You mine ''to'' the surface from inside, thus leaving an opening deep enough to sail through.

How you get inside doesnt matter. Everything ranging from alternative entries to making temp openings and collapsing them with [[shaker_orb|orbs]] works. All that matters is you mine the cave floor deep enough and then mine straight out. Just make sure you have some means of restoring [[stamina]] nearby.

Even if you get the entrance wrong on the first try. Do not worry. Simply collapse the tile with an orb or Mag priest and try again.

[[Sculpting wand]] is also something to look into if you can`t find a tile.

Note: You can tunnel at 0 stamina while climbing but a boat close by for stamina regain is recommended as its slow.

=== Surface mining ===

The slope of surface rock can be changed with a pickaxe or a [[sculpting wand]]. The sculpting wand is the fastest way to shape rock. Using a pickaxe however is time consuming but possible. Here's a step-by-step on how to do this:

<table><tr valign=top><td>
1) Clear a square of four tiles all the way down to rock in order to lower the rock at the point where those four tiles intersect. To clear all the dirt off a single rock tile, you must dig down to rock on all four corners. You will know that you have hit rock by watching event messages for messages that indicate you are hitting rock. You will also cease collecting dirt in inventory when you start hitting rock. Example:

If you want to lower rock at point E, you will have to dig down to rock at all points A through I. Points A/B/E/D will clear the top left square, B/C/F/E will clear the top right, etc, etc.
</td>
<td>
A--B--C
| | |
D--E--F
| | |
G--H--I
</td></tr></table>

2) Activate your mining pick and stand at the intersection of the four tiles (point E), click the ground, and select the mining action. Be sure that you do not select tunneling. Tunneling will eventually create a mine entrance, which we do not want (at least not yet).

3) Randomly, with about 10-20% chance, you will drop the rock level at the point where you are mining by 1 dirt and produce a [[rock shard]]. This is not cumulative. Sometimes you will drop the rock level very quickly for a short spurt, other times you might mine for along time not drop the level. In other words, many failures in a row does not make future success more likely.

4) Attempting to lower surface rock below the ceiling of a mine below results in the message "The rock sounds hollow, you will need to tunnel to continue". At this point, you cannot lower the surface rock any further.

<table><tr valign=top><td>
Note that the example above is only for one point. To lower the face of a tile to make a nice mine entry tunnel, here's a more complex example:

After prospecting tile B/C/G/F to create a tunnel there to start a mine, the slope is just not right.
* Drop corners F and G to make a nice slope for the mine entrance.
* To drop the rock level at F dig A/B/C/E/F/G/I/J/K down to rock.
* To drop the rock level at G dig B/C/D/F/G/H/J/K/L down to rock.

Remember: surface rock lowering is done at intersections of rock tiles, tunnel creation is done within a single rock tile. If you try to tunnel while standing at a intersection of 4 tiles, you might get a tunnel at an unexpected location, so be sure to be standing on one tile, and be sure to be clicking that one tile when creating a tunnel.
</td><td align="right">
A--B--C--D
| | | |
E--F--G--H
| | | |
I--J--K--L
</td></tr></table>

Surface mining will produce [[rock shards]] on each action that lowered the corner.

=== Mine doors ===
You can limit access to your mine with the use of a [[mine door]]. Several types of mine doors are available. 
Remember that offdeed minedoors can be bashed, so your mine is not entirely safe just because it has a mine door attached. Perimeter does '''not''' protect mine doors.

Walls can be built around any slope of tunnel entrance by standing within the mine and selecting the tile borders. Note that you should build these walls ''before'' placing a mine door if you wish to install one aswell.

=== Tunnel Excavation ===

Mining a cave wall inside a mine will create a tunnel further into the mine. It takes 45 mining actions to produce the message "The wall will break soon", after which it takes average 5 actions to open the tunnel.

==== Dropshaft ====
To create a dropshaft, mine a tile that is either above or below a tile that has already been dug out.

Primary uses of dropshafts are fast travel from one level of a mine to a lower level.

For example, if you dig down to water level to get a source of water, you can create a water-filled cave and mine out over that cave to get a dropshaft that takes you straight down to the water.

There is no falling [[damage]] inside mines.

I do not recommend doing this as it ruins the structure of the mine. Making some parts unstable thus making it unable to be mined.

=== Tunnel exits ===
* You '''cannot''' mine out from a tunnel if the tile outside has dirt on it.
* You '''can''' mine out from a tunnel if the tile outside is bare rock.

=== Ore mining ===
Ore is produced by mining ore veins found inside a mine. When an ore vein is depleted, a tunnel is created as when tunnel mining. However, a vein can take several thousand actions to deplete, so it is advised to mine around ore veins for tunneling purposes.

Each action will produce one [[ore]] of the vein's type.

=== Floor and ceiling mining ===
Mining the floor or ceiling of a cave does not create tunnels. Instead, it raises (for ceiling) or lowers (for floors) the cave. Note that, as with [[digging]], these actions affect the closest corner of the tile and not the tile itself. A ceiling tile can be mined upward around 31 times before it is too high to reach (given that you haven't lowered the floor before you start). A floor tile can be mined downward a maximum of ?? times.

Excavating a new tile from a tile that has raised ceiling will not create a new tile with the same ceiling height as the adjacent: the new tile will have the standard ceiling height for cave tiles. However, if you have lowered the floor you might excavate a new tile at the same floor level. If you have mined down the two floor corners that are in contact with the wall you mine down the floor will stay at that level (the ceiling will still have standard height, but at the new level). This is very useful for making tunnels, for example for boats, as you only have to reach the wished floor level on the first tile and the rest will go along in accordance to it.

Please note that when mining the floor you can create uneven surfaces thus making it hard to move around in your mine. For the best access in a mine it is recommended not to mine the floor directly unless you have a plan for it. The actions "mine up" and "mine down" create somewhat predictable slopes of 20 and are good if you want a sloped passage, although floor mining can be very useful if used in the right way. Proceed floor excavations with caution as the mining is not easily reversed. When digging you can always drop the dirt and refill the hole - this is '''not''' possible when mining.

It's advised that you mine cave ceilings when in need of rock shards it's faster than mining the caves walls.

== Cave-ins ==
Any excavated cave tile has a chance of caving in. When this happens, the tile is simply returned to its former non-excavated state and can be excavated again. If you mine a tile soon after it collapses, it won't need as many mine actions as usual to re-open. Ore veins may appear in cave-ins.

Reinforcing a cave wall with a [[support beam]] lowers the chance of cave-ins, but reinforced walls cannot be excavated, but they can be mined. Ore veins are said to count as reinforced for purposes of stability.

Note: The only cave-ins/tile collapse that I have seen are those next to other unmined tiles.
For example: If you mine a three (3) tile wide path, the center tile won't cave in but the outter tiles will have a chance to cave in...

== Skill and difficulty ==
Different ore veins have different difficulty. The easiest is mining plain rock, followed by [[iron vein]]s and [[copper vein]]s. The hardest are silver and gold. As with most things in Wurm, too low difficulty leads to reduced skill gain, while too high difficulty results in high failure rate. A failure results in a 1.00 QL rock or ore.

Items from successful mining have random QL, but the maximum possible is the lower of your mining skill and the tile's inherent quality. See [[prospecting]] for details about tile QL.

''Optimal Skill Gain''

* Rock: 1-50
* [[Iron vein]]: 50-60
* [[Copper vein]]: 60-70
* [[Tin vein]], [[Zinc vein]], or [[Lead vein]]: 70-85
* [[Silver vein]]: 90-99

For the best skill gain, you will want to fail to mine the ore sometimes; about 10-15 failures (1QL) is the best skill gain. If you fail more, improve your [[pickaxe]] or downgrade an ore difficulty.

Note that if the tile is capped at a QL much lower than your skill you won't be able to check average QL of the pile of ore/shards to see whether or not you have a decent success rate. The average QL of the pile is '''always''' based on your skill and not the tile itself, and the tile QL is therefore irrelevant to skillgain. A wider range in upper QL based on skill will get lost when translated to the tile capped with lower QL so it will look like more top QL gains but in reality they would've been higher in QL if the tile was. For example: If you have 70 mining and you mine a QL32 rock tile and get 1xQL1 and 49xQL32 you don't actually get 49xHighest possible quality - the tile just doesn't go any higher so the ones that would've been in the range between 32-70 are all translated down to 32 due to the cap. The skillgain from a QL32 and a QL70 rock tile is exactly the same.

''Note: Never mine gold for skill; it is a waste of materials and time. You have less than the optimal skill gain % chance to get ore-QL > 1/2 skill.''

''Note: You will need to adjust your pickaxe quality to stay at the line of optimal %chance success. For the most part, 20-30QL pickaxe will work for skill gain.''

== Other considerations ==
You can either mine "up", "down" or level when mining a tile. Only the last mining action is relevant to determine the direction the mine shaft will take. Mining up or down represents the equivalent of a 20 dirt [[slope]].

There are slight deviations in slope (up to 1 "dirt") when a mine shaft progresses. So, "level" is actually 0 slope, 1, or -1. Note that when connecting two mine shafts, the direction of the mining is irrelevant; one floor will connect to the other floor and ceilings will likewise connect.

== Warning messages ==
'''''Note:''' Some of these messages aren't exactly as presented in-game. Feel free to correct the wording.''

Sometimes you will be unable to continue mining and presented with a warning message.

[[Image:Sideshaft.png|frame|right|Side shaft example]]

; A dangerous crack is starting to form on the floor. You will have to find another way. [The cave shudders from some imbalance.] : Think it is caused by undermining previous tile mined above. No fix, though mining another wall, and therefore changing tunnel direction, worked on same tile.
; Another tunnel is too close. It would collapse. : Occurs when opening a new tunnel from the surface. Caused when there is already a tunnel to the back or the sides of the entrance tile or if a tunnel is ahead but to far down to connect to.
; The cave walls look very unstable. You cannot keep mining here. : Occurs inside a mine. Happens when mining close to the top of the rock layer. The ceiling of the newly mined tile would break the rock layer. Can sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering the mine floor and thereby opening the new tile a bit lower.
; The cave walls look very unstable and dirt flows in. You would be buried alive. : Occurs inside a mine. Happens when the tile you are mining on will break out to the surface, but the surface is not exposed rock. To excavate it, you must first expose the rock on the surface.
; ? The cave walls sound hollow. : Appears when you are mining into another mine shaft and the height difference is not dangerous.
; The cave walls sound hollow. A dangerous side shaft could emerge. [The cave shudders from some imbalance.] : Occurs inside a mine. This message appears when the tile you are excavating shares a single corner with an existing tunnel. To excavate it you must first excavate so the target tile shares an entire wall with the other tunnel. See example on the right.
; The ground is too steep to mine at here. You need to make it more flat. : Occurs occasionally when mining the floor down. The cause is unknown.
; The ground sounds strangely hollow and brittle. You have to abandon the mining operation. : Occurs on the surface. This means there's already a tunnel on the tile you're trying to excavate. There's nothing to do about it, you simply have to make your entrance on another tile. Or you could search for the entrance (possibly caved in) to the existing tunnel.
; The topology here makes it impossible to mine in a good way. : Occurs when trying to create a mine entrance on a perfectly flat rock tile. Lower at least 1 corner with surface mining to continue.
; There is no space to mine here. Clear the area first. : Occurs when the tile you're standing on has 100 items on. Move a few objects and you can continue.
; You fail to produce anything here. The rock is stone hard. : Occurs on the surface. This means the tile you are attempting to excavate is actually an ore vein. There's nothing to do about it, you simply have to make your entrance on another tile. Note that if you make the entrance one tile below the vein, the tunnel will open right into the vein and cannot be extended until the vein is depleted. The best course of action at this point would probably be to mine out a rock dile next to the one you get this message on. You can also get this message when mining a floor tile but the exact cause is unknown.
; You hear falling rocks from the other side of the wall. A deep shaft will probably emerge. : Occurs inside a mine. Caused when there is already another mine nearby, but there is too much of a height difference to connect the two mines.
; You cannot keep mining here. The rock is unusually hard. : The message displayed when one attempts to open a tunnel directly onto a vein.
; The roof sounds strangely hollow and you notice dirt flowing in, so you stop mining. : You get this when mining a ceiling too close to the surface and it is not rock.
; The water is too deep to mine here. : You get this when you are trying to mine too far under the water table.

DoubleDigger: Pigs don't swim

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Bestiary|Bestiary]] / [[Pig]]

== Description ==
This fat, happy critter wanders around constantly looking for something to eat and is an non-aggressive animal. Pigs are easily tamed and don't really hit very hard in a fight, so it's a good hunting animal for meat and [[healing cover]] ingredients.

*Lead-able.
*Automatically butchers any corpses that are near it.
*[[Butchering]] products - [[meat]], [[tooth]], [[animal fat]] and a [[gland]].
*Tamable with almost anything, pigs will eat anything.
*Kick and bite attack.
*Packs grass tiles.
*Eats any food laying on the ground near it.
*Does not swim if lead to water with a rope.
