[[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. The earliest you can join a meditation [[Meditating#Starting_and_Following_a_Path|path]] is at 15 Meditation skill. You can leave it until 20 Meditation skill, but you will not be able to gain further skill past 20 without joining a path.

===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:

* All meditations need to be 30 minutes apart at least
* Only 4 meditations per day can be less than 3 hours from the previous one. The message ''You feel that it will take you a while before you are ready to meditate again'' indicates the longer wait time.
* Every 24 hours after a server restart the counter is reset and you get 4 new chances at closer meditation immediately.

Example:
: Assume 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 minimum spacing returns to 30 minutes again.

You do not lose a chance nor do you get any meditation skill if you meditate before the wait time is up or if you meditate within 10 tiles of the previous meditation spot. If you are eligible to gain skill (waited long enough and moved the 10 tiles) you will use up a chance and randomly get skill meditation skill. The ratio of skill gain per tries depends on the meditation rug. At lower levels a ratio of about 50% can be reached. Around 70 meditation skill the highest ratio has been about 40%. It is possible that you don't get any skill in one or two days but if the ratio over at least 10-20 tries is way below the listed examples you should try to change the quality of the rug. The listed ratios have been reached with a rug in the range of 20-30 quality.

== 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. However, even if you start a path at 15 meditating skill the meditating limitation of one meditation per 30 minutes for skill does not apply until you reach 20 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 or wait for 30 minutes.'''

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."

You do not lose any meditating skill if you leave your path. However, you do lose all progress in the path and any path powers you have gained.

===Path Leaders===

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 becomes eligible to appear on this list. You will need to be on the list to use the Light Path option for others.

===Enlightenment===

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. A player can be enlightened 7 days after their last path advancement, regardless of level, or visible wait time. You will not need to move or wait if the attempt fails, but multiple attempts may be necessary. There is a one minute cool-down between attempts, and a difficulty check will affect success chance (see end of this section).

Simple instructions:
*Leader activates a [[meditation rug]]
*Student types /invitations
*Leader right-clicks the student and looks for the ''Light Path'' option
*Leader repeats this attempt until the student gets the path question dialog window that we're used to seeing for path advances
*May 2013 update - there is now a one minute cool-down for enlightenment

Example of successful enlightenment: 

* Path leader:
[12:07:16] STUDENT needs to type in the command /invitations.
[12:07:27] You attempt to light the path for STUDENT.
[12:07:27] You ask STUDENT a question. she seems to think hard.
[12:07:58] STUDENT has reached the level of Goodhearted of the path of love!

* Student:
[12:07:24] You will now accept invitations to change kingdom and religion.
[12:07:27] TEACHER asks you a question.
[12:07:58] You think 'Sounds about right'
[12:07:58] Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Goodhearted of the path of love!

* Failure (Path leader). If you get those messages just retry after waiting 1 minute:
[12:07:20] You attempt to light the path for <Player>.
[12:07:20] <Player> does not grasp the question. he needs to meditate more.
* Failure (Student). If you get those messages just retry after waiting 1 minute:
<Player> asks you a very confusing question. You do not understand it and need to contemplate more.

After a path enlightenment the leader cannot do it again for 7 days.

After the v1.1 patch a new difficulty check was added:

Rolf: it's not a skill requirement per se but there's a difficulty check

Rolf: like level you try to achieve *10 or so

Rolf: increasing meditation skill will increase chances yes

Rumour suggests that a successful enlightenment requires a meditation skill of approximately 75% progress to the actual required level to path up yourself. E.g. around 27 meditating needed to be enlightened to level 7.

== Path Levels ==
''A note to further make clear the timing for path advancement:'' 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.
 Meditation titles can be toggled via a check-box in the /titles command. They appear in your display name in the form of "<character name> the <meditation title>".

Planck: /* Container Comparison */

Containers are created items used to store smaller items, and can be used to organize. There are many different kinds of containers, and if used correctly, the type of container can represent what is inside.

For a list of containers, see [[:Category:Containers]].

== Container Comparison ==
Containers have a weight, and hold a given volume of items. Some containers will not hold liquids and others only hold liquids. Some are mobile containers, others are stationary, and most can be carried in your inventory. Items are sorted by increasing volume.

X = not possible 
NA = not applicable 
? = need data 
Rags = 0.1kg each 
Cotton = 1.0kg each 
Seeds = 0.1kg each 
Meat filet = 0.3kg each 

Jars used to hold 1.94 kg instead of 2.00, but all such jars were destroyed in the cataclysm before Gold 2.

Volume denotes the number of kilograms (kgs) of a liquid -- usually water -- a container will hold. The weight attribute is the weight of the container itself, not the amount of weight it will hold. Items list their weight although when it comes to storing them inside containers it's their hidden volume attribute that is used. For example a cart will only hold 94kg of cotton, but that same cart will hold 1,400kg of bricks. This occurs because the cotton has significantly greater volume than bricks do. Unfortunately the volume of items are not displayed only their weights.

If a container contains a liquid, it cannot contain other items (solid or liquid). One exception is that water can be mixed with cooking ingredients, e.g. to make soup.

Certain [[item]]s carry the '''signature''' of their creator if the item is of at least 20 [[QL]]. Higher QL has a tendency toward giving a clearer signature. Unclear signatures have some letters of the name replaced by a dot. For example, '''[[User:Notch|Notch]]''' could be '''.o..h'''.

==Pattern==
The letters of the signature that appears are based on the length of the maker's name and the quality of the item. All names of the same length have letters appear in the same positions for the same quality range.

Settlement

2007-07-06T08:47:48Z

Planck: /* Citizens */

[[Main Page]] / [[Useful links for beginners]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

A settlement is an area of land owned by a player or group of players. There are two kinds of settlements, villages and homesteads. A settlement is marked by a [[settlement token]] in the exact center of the settlement.

== Advantages, summary ==
* Spirit guards protecting the settlement
* Reduced decay on structures
* Village chat (not for homesteads, unless you're schizophrenic)
* Respawn at your own <del>or allied</del> settlement when you die
* Skill-loss when dying on your own deed is only 0.025
* Control of who is allowed which actions within the settlement area
* Setting reputations to keep out unwanted people
* A settlement token to have your [[bank]] account at
* Instant logout when leaving the game inside the settlement (some exception apply)
* [[Champion]]s suiciding on a deed get a 50% chance of not counting as a real death
* Less [[skills|skill]] decay (see the token for how much)
* Size 10 village deeds and above receive a [[trader]]. Homesteads do not.

== Founding ==
To found a settlement you must first obtain a deed. Unlike [[Item:writ of ownership|writs]], which are created by building a house, deeds must be purchased from a [[NPC]] trader. Village deeds at size 10 or more include a free [[trader]]. The price of a [[village deed]] is '''(size/10)^2''' gold. A size 5 [[homestead deed]] costs 5 silver, other sizes currently cost the same as a village.

New settlements have some restrictions on placement. Villages must be placed at least 100 tiles away from the nearest village, or 50 tiles away from the nearest homestead.

Homesteads must be placed at least 20 tiles away from settlements with the '''other settlements''' permission enabled. If it is disabled, it must be at least 50 tiles away if the other settlement is a homestead, or 100 tiles away if it is a village. This distance is counted from both settlements border, not the token.

Settlements can only be founded within your kingdom. On the [[wild server]], this might require building [[guard tower]]s.

The settlement is centered on the settlement token, and covers its size in tiles in every direction. A size 10 settlement thus covers a 21x21 square (10 + 1 + 10). This area includes the tile borders "outside" the outermost tiles.

== Disbanding ==
*A deed may be disbanded. The owner receives half of the cost of the deed, and half of the remaining upkeep. The money is placed in the former owner's bank account. It is believed this money comes direct from the King (reasonable since deed money goes to direct to the King).
*Only people with the ''manage roles'' permission, or the mayor, may disband the settlement. Citizens can stop a disband
*Disbanding a village takes 24 hours. Disbanding a homestead takes 1 hour.
*When villages disband, all the gates are unlocked
*Size 5 homesteads may not be disbanded in the first week after having been planted.

== Citizens ==
A homestead can only have one citizen. A village can have many, the exact number depending on the size. Making someone a citizen of a village requires the '''citizens''' permission. If the village is a dictatorship, the mayor can also remove citizens. Citizens of a democracy cannot be removed, they must leave on their own volition using '''/revoke <village name>'''.

Each citizen is assigned a role determining which actions are allowed inside the settlement. Customizing, adding and removing roles requires the '''manage roles''' permission.

== Voting ==

All settlements have a mayor. The initial mayor is the founder of the settlement. At any given time, the mayor is the one who holds the deed. Trading the deed make the new owner of the deed, the mayor. Villages can elect a new mayor by a successful vote. Success requires a majority: 51% of the votes if the village is a democracy, 81% if it is a dictatorship. Citizens may vote at any time, once per election. The election ends immediately whenever one candidate has received a majority of the votes, or when all votes have been cast. (Elections can continue, even though the incumbent mayor is already clearly going to win, until a majority have voted). Each citizen is allowed only one vote per election, and can only vote for another citizen (not for themselves). A vote can't be changed after it is cast. If a new mayor is elected, the deed transfers into their possession ''(not tested)''. Once an election is completed, a new vote will initiate a new election.

''Possibly the mayor can only be changed once per week, regardless of the number of elections in a week? - investigating.''

== Guards and upkeep ==
Settlements are automatically protected by [[deed guards]]. Guards can be light, medium or heavy. Changing the guard level requires the '''hire guards''' permission. If the guard level is decreased, it cannot be increased again until a week has passed.

Guards will attack aggressive monsters that enter the settlement area, as well as any character with -30 or lower reputation. Negative reputation is automatically when stealing and otherwise breaking the settlement rules. Citizens with the '''manage roles''' permission can also set reputations manually.

Guards demand payment. This payment is calculated as a percentage of the deed price. One month with light guards costs 10% of the deed price. Medium guards cost 31%, and heavy guards 56%. ''Note that size 5 homesteads are an exception to this rule. See the table below for their upkeep cost''.

Two months with medium guards on a size 10 village thus costs 2 * (1g * 31%) = 62 silver. Note that the payment happens continuously in small increments, not one big payment once a month.

Every settlement has an upkeep fund, which guards take their payment from. Anyone can donate money to the fund, even non-citizens. If the upkeep fund is depleted the settlement is disbanded automatically. A large upkeep fund reduces decay on buildings and fences in the settlement. If the fund has more than a month of upkeep there is no decay at all.

=== Upkeep draining ===
On the [[server Types|wild server]], citizens of the enemy kingdom can drain your token once all your deed guards are dead. An enemy draining your token will cost you 15% of the monthly upkeep, of which the drainer receives 7.5%. The minimum drain is 75 copper.

== Deed expansion ==
Expanding a deed gives a) half the money back for the old deed to the mayor and b) keeps the old upkeep c) adds a months worth of light upkeep.

== Allies and wars ==
Someone with the Diplomat permission can make alliances or declare wars against other settlements.

===Allies===
* <del>Allies can spawn on your deed when they die (and vice versa)</del>
* Allies have their own deed role
* Allies have a green outline
* Allies can loot your corpse when you're online

===Wars===
Wars in Wurm need to be accepted by both sides to come into effect. When a war is in effect, the normal penalties for same-kingdom fighting do not apply. Enemy citizens will have a red outline.

== Permissions ==
Each role can have a different set of permissions enabled. There are no known permissions that control butchering and burying.

; Build : Plan, color and continue buildings and fences Also allows lockpicking
; Forestry : Chopping down trees, picking sprouts, planting sprouts
; Destroy buildings : Destroying buildings, building plans, fences and fence plans Also allows lockpicking
; Farm : Sowing, farming and harvesting fields Also allows milking and leading animals
; Hire guards : Changing guard level
; Citizens : Making non-citizens into citizens
; Manage roles : Change role permissions and role assignments, change reputations Also allows disbanding the settlement
; Mine : Mining
; Terraform : Dig, pack, pave and flatten
; Expand : Expand the settlement with a larger deed
; Pass fences : Passing through all fences, even locked ones
; Lock fences : Locking fences
; Attack citizen : Attacking citizens
; Attack non-citizen : Attacking non-citizens
; Diplomat : Form alliances, declare war, make peace
; DELETE : This permission will delete the role if set

There are two additional permissions, which are not linked to roles

; Other settlements: Normally, settlements are not allowed within 100 tiles from a village, or within 50 tiles from a homestead. Setting this option allows homesteads within those limits, with a minimum distance of 20 tiles.

; Items and creatures : This allows _anyone_ to pick up items and tame animals within the settlement (but not inside buildings).

== Details ==

Rows with one citizen are homesteads. The other rows are villages.

Guard columns are upkeep per month. Note that size 5 homestead upkeep deviates from the usual rates.
