A '''trader''' is a [[NPC]] who buys and sells items.

== Placement ==
Traders are placed by using a [[trader contract]], which is purchased from other traders at a cost of 50s. A new trader must be placed at a minimum distance of 63 tiles away from other traders. Traders must be placed inside a [[building]] (not a [[market stall]]), but stay functional if the building disappears. Traders cannot be moved after they have been placed. Unlike Personal Merchants, Traders will not disappear if they haven't had any activity for 30 or more. If you own the writ to the building the trader is in and bring that building on-deed (for example by resizing the deed), the Trader will automatically become a citizen of your settlement.

== Item stocks ==
A trader will always start with the following items in stock:
* 3 [[farwalker stone]]s
* 3 [[farwalker twig]]s
* 3 [[large magical chest]]s
* 1 [[personal merchant contract]]
* 3 [[resurrection stone]]s
* 3 [[Rod of transmutation|Rods of Transmutation]]
* 1 [[settlement form]]
* 3 [[shaker orb]]s
* 3 [[sleep powder]]s
* 3 [[small magical chest]]s
* 3 [[steel and flint]]s
* 1 [[trader contract]]
* 3 [[tuning fork of metal detection|tuning forks of metal detection]]

Once all of the items in any of these categories is bought, the trader will always have at least 1 in stock on the next trade. For example if you buy 3 large magical chests in one trade, you will see the trader has none left. On re-trading with the same trader it will always somehow have 1 more in stock.

Beyond this, traders only have the items they have bought from players. When the King distributes new funds to traders (see below), he may claim some items from the stock.

== Cash flow ==
Traders will buy almost any item, unless he considers it worthless, it cannot be traded, or he is broke. Every item has a [[Base Price]], which is modified by the trader according to local supply and demand. For each transaction performed by the trader, a small portion is added to the village upkeep fund as a tax. The remaining money goes to the seller.

'''''Exception:''' Money from deed and contract purchases go straight to the king.''

A new trader starts out with 1 silver coin in funds. Periodically, the king will distribute new funds to traders, provided the trader has sold at least 10% of what it purchased. You can see what amounts a trader has bought and sold with the [[Path of Knowledge|Get Info]] ability.

The main source of the kings funds is [[settlement]] upkeep. The king will not grant funds to traders holding 50 silver or more.

=== A Cash Flow Fix ===
Try this fix if your trader has not been receiving funds from the kingdom pool, and you have confirmed via Path of Knowledge that its ratio is 0.0.
Buy 1 silver worth of player made items off the trader.
Sell back the player made items as as you bought.
If you are able to sell back all the player made items you bought, then the trader should have a ratio of around .50
of course if the trader is a citizen of a deed, then a portion of the coin you put on the trader will go into deed upkeep so you won't be able to get the full 1s back.
A ratio of at least .10 is needed to get funds off the kingdom pool.
Once a Trader's ratio has been corrected, it may take a few days or a server restart before the trader start acquiring coin off the kingdom pool. I'm not quite sure how often the mysterious figure visits the traders, buying random stuff off of them which replenishes some of the trader's coins from the kingdom pool.
This is speculative, however It seems I have been able to get 1 trader that was suffering from its 28 day ratio reset back in working condition. I won't make any guarantees this will work but if your trader hasn't been collecting any coin, a 1 silver investment could pay off. Detailed Knowledge of Traders is limited so this fix might have errors, but good luck. ~AAetius

Food storage bin

Telarin: /* Items that fit in */

Bulk storage bin

2010-12-22T20:55:24Z

Telarin: added note about only being destroyable by creator.

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

{{item
|name={{PAGENAME}}
|active=[[iron ribbon]]
|passive=[[plank]]
|group=Containers
|materials=* 24x [[plank]]
* 4x [[large nails]]
|result=*'''{{PAGENAME}}'''
|skill=Carpentry
}}

==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.
* On failure, the plank is damaged and the ribbon is destroyed.
* 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.
* Only the creator of a BSB can destroy it.

I have never heard that it was "frowned upon" to have multiple characters. This sounds like opinion that should be removed unless someone has a GM comment somewhere to back it up.

Now external pictures just appear as links (MediaWiki updated). Anyone know the proper wikicode for inserting external pictures in the new version? --[[User:Ancient|Ancient/Graham Edgecombe]] 10:28, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
: It's the same code as the last version, it was just a setting that got disabled. It should again now. [[User:Manny|Manny]] 10:54, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

== Breadcrumbs ==

It used to be common organise breadcrumbs outside the Complete Database like this:

[[Main Page]] :: [[Page1]] :: '''Current Page'''

I'm seeing more pages outside of the Complete Database being done like this:

[[CDB|Main]] / [[Page1]] / '''Current Page'''

Please could everyone help to fix the breadcrumbs!

==RE: ''Player:'' Redirects And Babel Information==
Okay, we need a collaborative effort in making all of these happen. As you should know, a Wiki redirect is as follows: ''<nowiki>#Redirect [[Pagename]]</nowiki>''. So when you come across a link to a User:USERNAME page please take the time to copy all the information on that page then make a redirect to Player:PLAYERNAME(for this purpose we will assume every wurmpedia account has a corresponding Wurm Online player account, if not please redirect that user page to the matching in-game name). Now go to the page you just redirected to and paste the information in, additionally you will need to add to the bottom of the page ''<nowiki>[[Category:Ingame Help]][[Category:Players]][[Category:Babel/INSERTFIRSTLETTEROFPLAYER'SNAMEHERE]]</nowiki>''.

I feel we need to discuss on how to do the talk pages for users, should we redirect the User talk:USERNAME to Talk:Player:USERNAME or vice versa? ~ [[User:Tigiot|Tigiot]] 01:18, 4 February 2007 (CST)

: Keep the user talk page. The wiki emails me when my user talk page is changed, it does not when my player talk page is changed :) [[User:Manny|Manny]] 02:30, 4 February 2007 (CST)

::'''AHAH!''' I was talking on the MW irc and they told me of a simple solution. :) We get Egal to rename the User: namespace to Player: they also said for us to get Egal to upgrade ;) not sure if it's required to change namespaces(why would it be, seems like a simple database thing) ~ [[User:Tigiot|Tigiot]] 13:58, 7 February 2007 (CST)

It would be so much easier if Notch just changed the client to access User: pages instead of Player: pages. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient/Graham Edgecombe]] 06:26, 16 February 2007 (CST)

I've changed my opinion on this, I think User: and Player: should be kept separate, some users might want different info to display on each. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient/Graham Edgecombe]] 02:09, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

===Babel===
On another note, for uniformities sake can we all make it so that when we are adding categories that we '''always''' make <nowiki>[[Category:Babel/LETTER]]</nowiki> the last category in the article? ~ [[User:Tigiot|Tigiot]] 01:21, 4 February 2007 (CST)

==Toolbar==
If you are using Mozilla Firefox to edit these Wiki-pages, I suggest you get this Wiki-extension : http://wikipedia.mozdev.org/<br>
Gives you fast access to almost all Wikipedia editing features.

::Update: There is a slight problem, easily fixed though. Close Firefox. First download this file into some folder on your computer: http://downloads.mozdev.org/wikipedia/wikipedia_0.8.0.2.xpi. Next extract the wikipedia_0.8.0.2.xpi file into C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[PROFILE THINGY]\extensions\wikitoolbar. Now go back to the profile directory and edit the file in there called extensions.ini by adding an extra extension variable in continuity with the value of the wikitoolbar folder. Restart Firefox, now it won't be on the add-ons list but it will appear. This took me about 2 minutes to figure out. ~ [[User:Tigiot|Tigiot]] 21:06, 2 February 2007 (CST)
:::Arg, if you do do this, be forewarned - IT WON'T LIKE YOU! ~ [[User:Tigiot|Tigiot]] 21:30, 2 February 2007 (CST)

== Re organise the main page ==

The main page is a bit messy at the moment. I think we should make something simple like Wikipedia's Main Page. It will help users find things faster. Does anyone agree? I will work on a prototype of the ideas I have in mind - check my [[User:Ancient|user page]].
--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 12:04, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

Here's what I've got so far: [[User:Ancient/Prototype_Main_Page]]. Any ideas and suggestions? Do you think we should replace the main page with this. I've also seen that Lain Iwakura is working on alphabetical categories for all articles: [[User:Lainiwakura/NewMainPagePrototype]]. This could be introduced into my prototype too and replace the main-page. Does anyone think this is a good idea?

--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 13:21, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

I like it so far. :) <small>--[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 06:04, 7 June 2006 (CDT)</small>

Well I've just about finished it - if i've forgotten some things then people can add them later. Unless anyone objects then we can replace the main page with it soon. <small>--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 09:56, 8 June 2006 (CDT)</small>

Two thumbs up: clean and efficient <small>--[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 16:53, 13 june 2006 (EST)</small>

Since babel is starting, maybe a "(work in progress)" beside "Alphabetically Categorised Articles" would be in order for a while. <small>--[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 17:07, 13 june 2006 (EST)</small>

Maybe we can put the contents in a little box :) --[[User:Sppt|Sppt]] 13:21, 14 June 2006 (CDT)

I've took out most of the HTML in [[Fr:Page principale]]. Is it ok? ''Fits well for a test page.''. --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 06:39, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

Absolutely fine. I don't mind - I think most people also find it easier to edit in wiki-code but I just don't get tables in it - that's why the new Main Page is nearly all HTML. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 14:32, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

== Babel ==

This babel is quite a load of work. Makes me amazed at how big this wiki really is.

:I know, I've done tons of pages. :) <small>--http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/1144/duckie0fq.gif[[User:Lainiwakura|Lain Iwakura]] 10:22, 22 June 2006 (CDT)</small>

== French branch ==

I was wondering if a translation effort would be welcomed. Is it?

Huh? There are not that much French people playing wurm :p I would be useless

And how could we translate the 1000+ article? It's a lot of work, and I don't think that there are a lot of people who can speak french who want to translate the whole wiki :O

Up to now, me and [[User:Kiri|Kiri]] are on it. We tried it on the [[Page principale|Main page]]. --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 14:03, 14 June 2006 (CDT)

I asked [[User:Egal|Egal]] and she said that the french pages should be prefixed with either "Francais:" or "Fr:". I think "Fr:" would be just fine. Onward, "Es:", "Ru:", might become interesting. --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 02:05, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

Would it be possible for Wurmpedia to detect the language preference of the visitor's browser and redirect those who chose fr, fr-CA, fr-FR, fr-BE, fr-CH and on to [[Fr:Page principale]]? --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 22:10, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

That would be possible if we asked Egal to make a script that does it. For example there is a wiki.php script which is executed when the user clicks "Wiki" in the menu, instead of going straight to the wiki, then the wiki.php script finds the language and redirects the user onwards to the real wiki.

--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 05:32, 17 June 2006 (CDT)

My proposed code is below:

<?php
// Language Redirect Script by Graham Edgecombe aka Ancient
//
// Find the user's language
$language = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
// Default it to English if it is not set by the browser
if(!isset($language))
{
$language = "en";
}
// A list of all the languages supported and their "Main Page" names is defined here
$languages_supported = array
(
"en" => "Main Page"
"fr" => "Page principale"
"de" => "Hauptseite"
);
// Checks to see if the users language is supported
if(isset($languages_supported[$language]))

The web server has a function that, when there is a page that has multiple copy but all ending with a language code (ex.: index.html.en, index.html.fr, index.html.fr-CH, index.html.es) then it returns the file that match the language of the browser. It isn't turned on by default.

I don't think that would work with the wiki - it would do a different index.php file for each language, what we want is a different page in the wiki database, and that has to be done by passing a different parameter to the script, not by finding a different index.php file. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 01:55, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

== German translation ==

Well I've translated the Main Page into [[De:Hauptseite|German]]. It has been done by using my current knowledge, looking up words in dictionaries and not translating the complicated bits - just removing them! There are probably some mistakes in there - if someone finds any and knows German then please fix them! --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 02:50, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

== Dutch Translation ==
i guess since were having german and french translations that a dutch one would also be in place? --[[User:Sppt|Sppt]] 07:29, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

:If you know Dutch then it would be great! --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 06:48, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

::dutch is my mother language
::edit: i'm thinking of making a program either in php or java to grab the page, then i run some. replaces over it to translate it, write it to a file, and then i'm going to check them and upload it. but the thing is: i have to think of a way to do this

::edit of the edit: i managed to do it using the curl library, code is [http://pastebin.com/720817 here]<br>
::note: this is only the source grabber, i'm working out how to strip out the content ~ [[User:Sppt|Sppt]] 15:24, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

== Signature generator ==

Today I made a signature generator for my Wurm fansite.

You can access it [http://www.grahamedgecombe.com/wurm/index.php?c=signature.php here].

You can choose a background image, add some text and put some dynamic text in. At the moment you have three choices for dynamic text: number of players on home server, number of players on wild server or number of players on all the servers.

It might be slightly off to what you see on [http://www.wurmonline.com www.wurmonline.com] because it only updates every 5 minutes.

Here's a sample signature:

http://www.grahamedgecombe.com/wurm/sig.php?r=255&g=255&b=255&img=6&text_dynamic=pcTotal&dynx=200&dyny=80&text_normal=%3D+Ancient+-+Wurm+Online+Player+-+Member+of+DarkWood+%3D&staticx=5&staticy=20&/file001.png
It exports HTML, wikicode and BB code.

Thought it might be interesting to put it up here. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 07:33, 30 December 2006 (CST)

Another thought: maybe we could make a player count for the main page. Anybody like the idea? --Ancient 07:39, 30 December 2006 (CST)

== Translation guidelines ==

Since some people might be doing some Polish translations, I've set up a page with some basic guidelines on how namespaces should be used etc - [[WurmPedia:Translations]] - any comments? --[[User:Ancient|Ancient/Graham Edgecombe]] 13:13, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

== Add new category? ==

Should we add a new category to mainpage wich is about players with the highest skills and best achivements in villages and homesteads? --[[User:ChJees|ChJees]] 07:58, 26 October 2007 (CDT)

: I'm not convinced that's a good idea. There's already a skill compare site, and villages can boast their accomplishments on the village pages. The wiki should be as objective as possible, getting involved in matters as subjective as which achievements are best is not attractive to me. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 13:02, 26 October 2007 (CDT)

== Japanese wiki ==

I'm a bit hesitant to mess with the main page, but the japanese community have been working on their own wiki & I thought it might be a good idea to link to it. It's here:
http://wurm.mmorpgplayer.com/ --[[User:Uzetaab|Uzetaab]] 03:16, 2 January 2008 (CST)

: I added the link to the language bar. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 17:04, 2 January 2008 (CST)

== Duplication of effort and redirects, a suggestion ==

Since the client has supported redirects for a while now, how about a bit of a reorganization spree involving deleting all the Item: Creature: Skill: (and so on) pages and redirecting them to their equivalent main namespace articles. I'm sure I can't be the only one who thinks having to maintain two copies of most pages is a big unnecessary pain.
[[User:Robert|Robert]] 04:48, 27 February 2009 (CST)

: Redirects were never the issue to begin with. The reason we have ingame help pages is because the client doesn't support markup. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 10:51, 27 February 2009 (CST)

== Namespaces for Settlements ==
There are a lot of settlements listed on the Wiki and I suggest that they get their own namespace, regardless of their server or whether or not they longer exist. This would tidy them up into one area and also mean if anyone happens to create, or have already created, a settlement with the same name as a current page there would be little confusion. I know we already have categories for the settlements, but I believe they deserve their own namespace... even more so than wounds (which DO have their own). Thoughts? --[[User:Marni|purp]] 10:04, 21 May 2009 (CDT)
:Seems reasonable to me, however what about the situation of two villages having the same names on different servers, how would that work? [[User:Robert|Robert]] 11:47, 21 May 2009 (CDT)

:: I like this too. rolf could make it so when u right click on the token and select "what's this?" u will see village's wiki page. something similar to "Player:" pages. [[User:Norill|Norill]]

:Hm I don't know if creating a namespace like "Settlement:" or so would be the best solution, is there a function/way to "join" multiple categories on one page? Effectively there will be abandoned settlements, freedom settlements, wild jk/mr/hots settlements and epic jk/mr/hots settlements (8 categories total), the home settlements will either go to abandoned or to one of the other servers.
:Settlements with identical names on different or same server (if possible) have to be linked on a disambiguation page either way (e.g. Existing Village (Freedom) and Existing Village (Wild)), regardless of having a namespace or not. Or we could just create a new Category, additionally to server-specific categories and just name it Settlements.
:Either way, it would be a hell of a lot of editing. --[[User:Ulviirala|Ulviirala]] 13:47, 21 May 2009 (CDT)
:I'd be willing to do work on it.... if not all of it. We could always test on a few settlements which already exist... and we don't have to limit it to deeded settlements. If you search for Bees for example, it brings up an old settlement. If wurm ever introduced bees into the game (for honey say..) then this is going to cause a conflict. Just an idea, nice to see a few people discussing though. Any further ideas anyone? --[[User:Marni|Marni]] 14:20, 21 May 2009 (CDT)
::Hm I just saw that the [[:Category:Settlements]] sums all categories up pretty much, so I think they will be fine without a namespace imho. --[[User:Ulviirala|Ulviirala]] 08:17, 22 May 2009 (CDT)

== Featured Pages ==

The front page isn't very dynamic, so I was thinking that adding a featured page system would be an excellent way to make it seem more interesting and attractive. We could probably shift it once a week or so, and draw attention to lesser known concepts that the Community would benefit from, as well as new players. The main page would be better with an overhaul, and with sections made neater and better updated. Perhaps the translations would be better put in a sidebar for example, or a literal translation de-emphasised in favour of a general overview of the game in various world languages. [[User:Ols|Ols]] 12:10, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I've had no response in nearly a month, so I'm going ahead with it. Please contact me if you have a problem with changes. [[User:Ols|Ols]] 20:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I would keep the page translations considering we have a wide assortment of players who do not speak English but still play wurm. --[[User:Doughboy|Doughboy]] 01:08, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Some translations are there, but others are simply links to Google translate, and do not provide much help to the players. I think what it's suggesting is that you copy and paste the main page into the translation field, but I don't see why people who commonly frequent English-language websites but speak it poorly would not do this already. [[User:Ols|Ols]] 11:04, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

We can't insinuate that they do though and you can't be 100% sure either way.--[[User:Doughboy|Doughboy]] 19:28, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

== Volume and Capacity ==

I would like to propose adding Volume and Capacity to the item template. Capacity would apply only to containers (removed from other items) and would be the capacity of the container in liters. Volume would be the volume of the item, also in liters.

For binnable items, the volume is easy to figure out, as that is what the weight column represents in the BSB. For other items, this number can be obtained experimentally by seeing how many fit into certain containers. --[[User:Telarin|Telarin]] 20:37, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Telarin:

Would anyone object to me turning the list of items created with carpentry into a table with basic construction info: active item, passive item (used for creation) other materials, and maybe some other data. I know that is available on the individual item pages, but it would be nice to have it all in one place without having to click on 10 different things. --[[User:Telarin|Telarin]] 20:37, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

{{Item
|name=Cauldron
|active=[[glowing]] [[iron lump]] (5.5 kg)
|passive=[[large anvil]]
|group=Tools
|materials=no
|result=* 1 '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (5.5 kg)
|skill=blacksmithing}}

== Description ==
Cooking tool used to make [[soup]], [[porridge]], and [[tea]].

''*NOTE! The cauldron has a very large volume. While cooking soup, the chances of getting 1[[QL]] product seems high unless you add enough of other ingredients ([[veggie]]s, [[meat]], [[herb]]s, etc) compared to the amount of [[water]]. Same rule applies when adding [[camellia]] for tea.''

=== Tips ===
Put [[metal scrap]]s, [[lumps]], or other small items in a cauldron to make more space in a [[forge]]. The higher the [[quality]] of the cauldron is, the faster the items inside it [[heat]] up.

Despite being a cooking implement, it does not fit in an [[oven]].

Holds 64 liters.
