==Description==
''A storage bin made from planks and strengthened with iron ribbons.''

Bulk storage bins are useful for many reasons.
*You can fit more than 100 objects into them.
*They stop all decay of objects put into them.
*They allow players to average the QL for items this is not normally possible for.
*They allow players to combine items it is not normally possible to combine, such as logs, and split up large combined items into smaller ones, such as lumps, cotton and woodscraps.
*It allows players to remove damage from unrepairable items without the [[Mend]] spell at the cost of having their quality reduced by a percent equal to the damage.

There are three major downsides. Averaging the quality of the items put in is not always a good thing, such as when high quality materials are required for improving. In addition, 5% of the stored items are lost every 30 days. Finally, any enchants, renames, and other "special" characteristics on items put in are lost.

==Notes==
* Finished bulk storage bins can not be picked up, but can be pushed, pulled, and turned like forges and ovens.
* Can be secured like a [[large chest]] with a [[large padlock]].
* The 'Weight' column of the bin is actually the volume. A single bin can hold 16000.
* The model for bins will change when being half full to reflect its contents exceeding 8000 in volume.
* Items can be dragged directly from a container to the storage bin.
* Volume and Weight are not in the same proportion for different items, so some items store more efficiently in bulk storage bins than others.
* When you remove the last whole item, any remaining material of that type is lost.
* Destruction is possible for the BSB's creator or the holder of the key locking it, absent of deed restrictions.
* When a BSB is destroyed, all of the items inside of it are destroyed as well.

Meditating

2011-07-02T02:37:18Z

Nardrak: /* Waiting Messages */ removed *Do plans ever work? Do I need a plan? as this is listed later with You think and I missed it.

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''

== Meditation ==
===The Basics===
To meditate, drop a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]] on the ground, right click it, and choose "Nature -> Meditate". Due to the flatness of the rug models, it is recommended to use them in a container you place on the ground, such as a bucket, to enable easier pickup. You can join a [[Meditating#Starting_and_Following_a_Path|path]] at 15 Meditation skill, but you must do so at 20 skill if you want to continue skill gain.

===Skill Training===
Skill can be gained on any tile but you have to move at least 10 tiles from the spot of the previous meditation. A successful meditation is completing the two minute meditation timer but you will not necessarily gain skill every time.

Below 20 meditation skill there is no time limit between skill gains. You only have to move 10 tiles between meditations. A popular method is to drop a rug on the first tile and a second rug on the 11th tile of a path and to move between the two rugs. Another one is to patrol the perimeter of an 11x11 box and to meditate each corner.

Above 20 meditation skill the chances to gain skill are limited to a few per day:

* The first 5 meditations per day need to be 30 minutes apart at least
* Every meditation past the 5th must be at least 3 hours after the previous one. The message ''You feel that it will take you a while before you are ready to meditate again'' after the 5th and any following meditation indicates the longer wait time.
* Every 24 hours after a server restart the counter is reset and you get 5 new chances immediately

Example:
: Assuming the server was restarted at 12:00 and you start meditating right away. The first 5 meditations can be done at 12:00, 12:30, 13:00, 13:30 and 14:00. The next ones must be at least 3 hours past the previous one and are available at 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00. After getting some [[sleep bonus]] you continue to meditate at 8:00 and 11:00. At 12:00, 24 hours after the server restart the first 5 meditations are available again.

You do not lose a chance if you meditate before the wait time is up or if you meditate within 10 tiles of the previous meditation spot. However if you were eligible to gain skill you will use up a chance no matter if you gained skill or not.

== Path Management and Advancement ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others.
Verified paths are:

The [[Path of Knowledge|Path of Knowledge]]

The [[Path of Power|Path of Power]]

The [[Path of Insanity|Path of Insanity]]

The [[Path of Love|Path of Love]]

The [[Path of Hate|Path of Hate]].

To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion player|champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].

The further along a path you are, the harder it becomes to get the question dialogs to appear. The chance to receive a question is determined by your meditation skill, and the quality/type of the rug you are using. The various rugs in order of increasing effectiveness are: [[Meditation rug]], [[Fine meditation rug]], [[Beautiful meditation rug]], and [[Exquisite meditation rug]]. If you fail to receive a question, you can simply keep meditating on the same special tile until you succeed; there is no need to move elsewhere first.

If you get a question wrong, the delay timer resets and you must wait out the full period over again. For example if you choose wrongly on the level 4 question, you have to wait another 6 days (real time) before you can try again.

=== Leaving a Path ===

If you have chosen a path, you now have the option Nature -> Leave path. This brings up a dialog that says: "Select quit to stop following this path. The result is immediate and dramatic".

If you select Quit, you get this message: "You decide to stop pursuing the path of knowledge."

=== Path Leaders - Enlightenment ===

Once you have reached level 3 in your chosen path, you will have a new option Nature -> Path leaders. This brings up a dialog that says "You consider the local leaders of the path:". "Local" here means the server you are currently on. Once you reach level 4, your own name appears on this list.

Simple instructions:
*Leader activates a [[meditation rug]]
*Student types /invitations
*Leader right-clicks the student and looks for the Enlighten option (should be under Nature)
*Leader repeats this attempt until the student gets the path question dialog window that we're used to seeing for path advances

Leaders in paths are able to Enlighten others who are exactly three levels below the leader's current level. For example, a level 9 can advance a level 6 to level 7. The student does not need to have the normally-required amount of Meditation skill to advance, but enough time must have passed since the student's last path advance for him to receive the question. You will not need to move or wait if the attempt fails, but multiple attempts may be necessary.

:Note: Trying to be enlightened from level 8 to level 9 with only 35 skill yielded the message "Wurzel asks you a very confusing question. You do not understand it and need to contemplate more." The skill check may have been added in to enlightenment, or it might kick in at a certain level.
::I got this message when trying to advance from 6 to 7 (leader was level 9). On the third attempt, I got the path dialog window. Didn't have to move or wait or anything...Just needed to try it a few times. ~Paola

== Path Levels ==
''A note to further make clear the timing for path advancement, since there have been questions about this recently:'' The information in the "Delay to reach" column refers to the time that must pass in real-life hours or days since you gained your last level in the path. Example: When you first convert to a path (represented below as 0 level), you then must wait 12 real-life hours before you can try for level 1. During that 12 hours, you may still meditate as normal for meditating skill gain (even on Path tiles). But when you meditate on a Path tile during this period, you will receive a message that says you "need to let your recent progress sink in" for some period of time before you may progress in the path.

Meditating

2011-07-02T02:35:22Z

Nardrak: /* Waiting Messages */ added waiting message [22:31:06] You fall into a trance. You think 'Do plans ever work? Do I need a plan?'

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''

== Meditation ==
===The Basics===
To meditate, drop a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]] on the ground, right click it, and choose "Nature -> Meditate". Due to the flatness of the rug models, it is recommended to use them in a container you place on the ground, such as a bucket, to enable easier pickup. You can join a [[Meditating#Starting_and_Following_a_Path|path]] at 15 Meditation skill, but you must do so at 20 skill if you want to continue skill gain.

===Skill Training===
Skill can be gained on any tile but you have to move at least 10 tiles from the spot of the previous meditation. A successful meditation is completing the two minute meditation timer but you will not necessarily gain skill every time.

Below 20 meditation skill there is no time limit between skill gains. You only have to move 10 tiles between meditations. A popular method is to drop a rug on the first tile and a second rug on the 11th tile of a path and to move between the two rugs. Another one is to patrol the perimeter of an 11x11 box and to meditate each corner.

Above 20 meditation skill the chances to gain skill are limited to a few per day:

* The first 5 meditations per day need to be 30 minutes apart at least
* Every meditation past the 5th must be at least 3 hours after the previous one. The message ''You feel that it will take you a while before you are ready to meditate again'' after the 5th and any following meditation indicates the longer wait time.
* Every 24 hours after a server restart the counter is reset and you get 5 new chances immediately

Example:
: Assuming the server was restarted at 12:00 and you start meditating right away. The first 5 meditations can be done at 12:00, 12:30, 13:00, 13:30 and 14:00. The next ones must be at least 3 hours past the previous one and are available at 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00. After getting some [[sleep bonus]] you continue to meditate at 8:00 and 11:00. At 12:00, 24 hours after the server restart the first 5 meditations are available again.

You do not lose a chance if you meditate before the wait time is up or if you meditate within 10 tiles of the previous meditation spot. However if you were eligible to gain skill you will use up a chance no matter if you gained skill or not.

== Path Management and Advancement ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others.
Verified paths are:

The [[Path of Knowledge|Path of Knowledge]]

The [[Path of Power|Path of Power]]

The [[Path of Insanity|Path of Insanity]]

The [[Path of Love|Path of Love]]

The [[Path of Hate|Path of Hate]].

To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion player|champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].

The further along a path you are, the harder it becomes to get the question dialogs to appear. The chance to receive a question is determined by your meditation skill, and the quality/type of the rug you are using. The various rugs in order of increasing effectiveness are: [[Meditation rug]], [[Fine meditation rug]], [[Beautiful meditation rug]], and [[Exquisite meditation rug]]. If you fail to receive a question, you can simply keep meditating on the same special tile until you succeed; there is no need to move elsewhere first.

If you get a question wrong, the delay timer resets and you must wait out the full period over again. For example if you choose wrongly on the level 4 question, you have to wait another 6 days (real time) before you can try again.

=== Leaving a Path ===

If you have chosen a path, you now have the option Nature -> Leave path. This brings up a dialog that says: "Select quit to stop following this path. The result is immediate and dramatic".

If you select Quit, you get this message: "You decide to stop pursuing the path of knowledge."

=== Path Leaders - Enlightenment ===

Once you have reached level 3 in your chosen path, you will have a new option Nature -> Path leaders. This brings up a dialog that says "You consider the local leaders of the path:". "Local" here means the server you are currently on. Once you reach level 4, your own name appears on this list.

Simple instructions:
*Leader activates a [[meditation rug]]
*Student types /invitations
*Leader right-clicks the student and looks for the Enlighten option (should be under Nature)
*Leader repeats this attempt until the student gets the path question dialog window that we're used to seeing for path advances

Leaders in paths are able to Enlighten others who are exactly three levels below the leader's current level. For example, a level 9 can advance a level 6 to level 7. The student does not need to have the normally-required amount of Meditation skill to advance, but enough time must have passed since the student's last path advance for him to receive the question. You will not need to move or wait if the attempt fails, but multiple attempts may be necessary.

:Note: Trying to be enlightened from level 8 to level 9 with only 35 skill yielded the message "Wurzel asks you a very confusing question. You do not understand it and need to contemplate more." The skill check may have been added in to enlightenment, or it might kick in at a certain level.
::I got this message when trying to advance from 6 to 7 (leader was level 9). On the third attempt, I got the path dialog window. Didn't have to move or wait or anything...Just needed to try it a few times. ~Paola

Nardrak:

Cake was added with the update today. Need more info, the basic ingredients where given but that's it.

In creation it states "Cook in a fire place." now shouldn't that be "Cook in any of the fire sources." since that is actually the name of the category that it links to? [[User:Nardrak|Nardrak]] 13:10, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Animal husbandry

2011-06-17T20:56:37Z

Nardrak: /* Traits */ Confirmed 41 skill on 2 animals that did not show before and had just reached 41 skill level

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

== Description ==
''Animal husbandry'' allows for the production (breeding) of new creatures, sometimes with increased quality, without the need to wait for new [[spawn]]s.

====Characteristics gained====
Soul / [[Soul depth]]

== Method ==
*Both of the [[animals]] you wish to breed must be not hungry. One must be a male and the other one a female. Lead one of them with a [[rope]] (note that some animals must be [[animal taming|tamed]] to be led) and move it close to the other one. Right-click on the animal you are '''not''' leading and select the "Breed" option.
*Grooming also gives animal husbandry skill gains. Activate a [[grooming brush]] and select ''groom'' while right-clicking on a groomable creature. You can groom animals once per hour.

== Notes ==
* Animals must be of the same species.
* If breeding fails, you will receive a message that the male "shys away and interrupts the action".
* If breeding fails or is successful and you attempt to breed again, the male animal will show that he's "not in the mood" until 45 real life minutes pass.
* Females will not breed while they are pregnant. Once the female gives birth, the animal can breed again.
* Animals do not have to be "fat" to breed, only "no longer interested in food" (when trying to feed them). Grass eaters will typically be in this state after a minute or 2 on grass or crops.
* [[Age]] is not a factor in breeding ([[calves]] or [[foal]]s will not breed though).
* Breeding increases a player's [[soul depth]].
* Pregnancy times varies from 5-11 wurm [[Time|weeks]], regardless of species.
* Animals can have a miscarriage.
* If too hungry or low on fat animals can die when giving birth.
* Breeding animals with [[animal conditions|characteristics]] such as Champion will provide a chance that the offspring will also have that characteristic. This chance is dramatically increased when breeding two characteristics of the same type together. (Two Champions for example.)
** The same applies to Traits as well.
* Longer blood lines will support more traits. (For example: A 4th generation dog can have up to 6 or so traits where a 1st generation dog (the first offspring from wild dogs) usually only have 0-3 traits.)
* The name is determined at birth, the traits are determined at breeding (noticed on a server revert on 2011-03-01)

== Traits ==
Bred animals have a chance of having traits.(Enhancement/Deformity). Animals can have multiple traits. Examining an animal will show traits, if one has the required skill level:

* 0 skill: Horse's color is considered a trait.
* 20 skill: "It will fight fiercely." (High fighting skill?)
* 21 skill: "It has fleeter movement than normal." (Minor speed boost)
* 22 skill: "It is a tough bugger." (Withstands more damage)
* 23 skill: "It has a strong body." (Improved body strength?)
* 24 skill: "It has lightning movement." (Randomly increases speed for a short duration)
* 25 skill: "It can carry more than average." (Less penalty to speed due to high load)
* 26 skill: "It has very strong leg muscles." (Less penalty to speed due to slope? Does not currently do this.)
* 27 skill: "It has keen senses." (Increased agro range or possibly harder to tame?)
* 28 skill: "It has malformed hindlegs." (Minor speed penalty)*
* 29 skill: "The legs are of different length." (Major speed penalty)*
* 30 skill: "It seems overly aggressive." (Goes into frenzy when attacked)*
* 31 skill: "It looks very unmotivated." (Seldom uses speed boosts?)*
* 32 skill: "It is unusually strong willed." (Randomly refuses to follow)*
* 33 skill: "It has some illness." (Usually unridable. Penalty to body strength)*
* 34 skill: "It looks constantly hungry." (is twice as fast hungry again)*
* 39 skill: "It looks feeble and unhealthy." (Prone to disease)*
* 40 skill: "It looks unusually strong and healthy." (Has a higher resistance to disease)
* 41 skill: "It has a certain spark in its eyes." (Affects breeding? Will not die of old age?)
(All "?" are unconfirmed, traits with a * are removed by a [[Genesis]] cast)

How traits are passed is explained on the [http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=55489.0 forums]

=== Inbreeding ===

With a recent change inbreeding is supposed to have a negative effect. It adds extra negative traits that don't count against the regular traits pool.

Inbreeding is mating with the father or mother or when the two animals have the same father or mother. Basically if you only can find two horses you'll be ok in three generations. But it my be better to mate with your neighbours horses.

See [http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=55489.msg503824#msg503824 Rolfs forum post] for details.

== Caring ==

To prevent venerable animals from dying of old age you can care for them. To start caring stand next to the animal, right click the animal and select ''Care for''. If you start caring for that animal you'll get the message:
You now care specially for Aged fat Tearbabe, to ensure longevity. You may care for 1 more creatures.

The amount of animals you can care for is limited by the animal husbandry skill of the player. If you can't care for more animals you'll get the message
You may not care for any more creatures right now. You are already caring for 1 creatures.

You can care for 1 animal and 1 extra animal for every 10 skill in animal husbandry. So at 40 Animal husbandry skill you can care for 5 animals.

To stop caring for all cared animals type the command ''/stopcaring'' in the chat window. You'll get the message
You no longer care for the one creature you used to.

To stop caring for a specific animal, you will need to right click the animal and 'care for' again.

== Description ==
A large wooden barrel, strengthened by iron ribbons with a capacity of 250 liters. Large barrels are used to store items in, but are difficult to move as they cannot be picked up. Large barrels slow the decay of the items in them. Use [[cedar]] wood to prevent the barrel itself from decaying too quickly.

== Notes ==
*Storage for [[water]] and items. Slows decay.
*It is the quality of the iron ribbon that determines the success rate.
*If you fail creating, the ribbon and the plank used are both damaged.

== Description ==
''Fine-grained brown '''mortar''', perfect for [[masonry]].''

Required to build [[stone houses|stone housing]] walls.

QL of the [[clay]] and your [[masonry]] skill determines the chance to create mortar. QL of the [[sand]] determines the maximum QL of the mortar.

Mortar, like [[clay]], decays quickly and is likely to begin taking damage after only a couple of days if not used up.

== Notes ==
*Failing to create the mortar will destroy the clay and the sand.
*A newly dug [[heap of sand]] is always 20[[kg]] and will be reduced by 1kg per creation attempt.
*Clay will also be reduced by 1kg per creation attempt.

:* You may only hire one bed at a time. If you hire more, the previous will be made available to others.
:* You can check the bonus with the <tt>/sleep</tt> command.
:* While rested, you have 3x stamina regeneration and 2x skill gain. You get 1 minute sleep bonus for every 24 minutes of sleep, with a maximum of 5 hours.
:* Beds can only be used inside finished buildings. Buildings with open walls will give the error "This house is too windy to provide protection."
:* You may only '''use''' a bed inside a structure.
:* You can build a structure around a bed and the bed will be useable.
