== Description ==
''An inviting canopy bed, fit for a king.''

'''Canopy bed''' is a piece of [[Furniture|furniture]] that when inside a [[House (general)|house]] lets you sleep in it, to gain [[sleep bonus]] for double [[skill]] gain.

== Usage ==

As furniture, a canopy bed may be used as a decoration in addition to the uses described below.

=== Sleeping ===
You can logout in canopy bed, accumulating useful sleep bonus the longer you are offline. Right-click the bed and select 'Bed' > 'Sleep'.

* A canopy bed can only be slept on if it is inside a completed house. Otherwise the following message will display in your event window: {{event|block|The house is too windy to provide protection.}}
* To find out if a bed is available or who is sleeping in it, [[examine]] it. If the bed is occupied, it will say: {{event|block|Some kind of mysterious haze lingers over the canopy bed, and you notice that the canopy bed is occupied by the spirit of ''<playername>''.}}
* After the sleeper has accumulated the maximum sleep bonus (5 hours), the bed will be automatically freed up for other players to sleep in.
* If the canopy bed is not on your own deed, there will be a 60 second timer for sleeping in it.
* Sleeping damages a canopy bed, regardless of the house being on a deed or not.

=== Renting ===
If you have manage item permissions of the house, you can rent beds to other players for [[Bank of Wurm|coins]], making it possible to earn money by running an [[inn]].

Right-click the bed and Select 'Bed' > 'Rent 10 iron' coins, 'Rent 25 iron', 'Rent 50 iron', 'Rent 1 copper', 'Rent 10 copper', 'Rent 1 silver', 'Rent 10 silver', or 'No rent'.

If you rent yourself a bed, the money will be withdrawn from your inventory and you will then logout to sleep.

== Creating ==
* The [[quality]] of the [[head board]] affects the success chance when creating.
* The [[bed frame]] is [[damage]]d if you fail.
* Wood type is determined by the [[foot board]].
* Beds can only be started inside a house. It does not have to be a finished house though. You could also build a new house around an existing bed.
* A bed cannot occupy the same tile as another bed or [[storage bin]]. It can share a tile with a forge or oven.
* You can use furs larger than what the bed needs. When you add a fur, it will use one kilogram and give you back the rest.

=== Total materials required ===
* 25x [[plank]]s
* 4x [[shaft]]s
* 4x [[small nails]]
* 3x [[large nails]]
* 8x [[Cotton_sheet|cotton sheets]] (1.50 kg each)
* 8x [[fur]]s (1.00 kg each)

== Notes ==
* Skill Requirement: Fine Carpentry 65.
* Can not be picked up by hand.
* Can be loaded into a [[Rowing boat]], [[Large cart]], or anything bigger.
* Able to have items placed on it.

Faith

Xandaros: Clarified sermon alignment rules

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

==Description==

Faith is the ethereal power of religious belief. In Wurm, it also gives [[priest]]s the ability to cast spells and commit to other unique activities.

==Prayer==

*To gain faith (and also [[favor]]), a player can [[praying|pray]] at an [[altar]]. In order to do this, however, one must first choose and [[convert]] to a [[religion]].

*Praying may take place in back-to-back sessions, but a 20-minute cool-down period is needed between prayers in order for each subsequent prayer to count toward further faith skill gain, up to five times per day.

*While additional prayer attempts between these cool-down periods will not raise faith, they will increase the player's prayer skill. If faith is not gained from a prayer, the action will not be counted against the five prayer per day limit. This scenario occurs when praying as non-[[Account Types|premium]].

==Faith-Based Abilities==

As a player gains faith along their religious journey, they can expect to also discover new, faith-based abilities. The following are some but not all of those reported abilities:

- At 10 faith, it becomes possible to [[Exorcism|desecrate]] altars.

- At 20 faith, god-specific bonuses become available. ([[Vynora]]-Small Exp. gain / [[Fo]]-Healing bonus / [[Magranon]]-Fight skill bonus / [[Libila]]--Fight skill bonus)

- At 30 faith, it becomes possible to become a priest of your chosen god. For additional information on the process of achieving such priesthood at this point, see [[priest]].

- At 40 faith, it becomes possible to identify to which god an item was blessed: examining a blessed item will have "It bears an aura of <god>" in its description.

- At 50 faith, one can become a champion of their chosen god. For more detailed information on championhood, see [[champion]].

==Additional Notes==

*Without becoming a priest, it is not possible to raise faith above 30.

*Faith-gain is not affected any differently by [[sleep bonus]] or by praying at different altar or tile types; all faith-gain is the same.

*Faith is not lost when a player dies.

*Faith gained on sermon is affected by altar rarity. (+1% for rare, +2% for supreme, +3% for fantastic).

==Sermons==

Holding a sermon is yet one more way in which a player may gain faith-related bonuses. This involves holding a service and preaching to a group of nearby listeners.

'''Procedure'''

*To hold a sermon, activate a [[statuette]], '''right click''' an altar, and select '''Preach'''.
*A valid listener is a [[premium]] player of the same [[kingdom]] and of any religion, who is within 4 tiles of the one giving the sermon (being mounted or on foot within this distance does not matter; being embarked on any type of vehicle, cart or any type of furniture, however, invalidates the listener). They must also have not gained or lost any [[alignment]] within the past 30 minutes. If the player is already at maximum alignment, the alignment change might not be visible, but will still invalidate the listener. Note that listening to a sermon will always result in an alignment change.

*The minimum number of listeners for faith-gain to take place is 4. At a normal altar the priest successfully holding a sermon gains 0.02 faith per valid listener. Faith bonus for altar rarity is an extra 1% for rare, 2% for supreme, and 3% for fantastic.

*The priest giving the sermon does not count as a listener.

*Sermons have a three-hour cooldown period for the sermon-giver, and within this time, the player cannot give another sermon. Within this cool-down period, however, the same preacher can effectively serve as a listener in another priest's sermon.

*Note: if you did not gain at least 0.12 faith from the sermon itself, there were not enough valid listeners present to reset your prayer counter.

'''Listener Benefits'''

*If listeners have less than 100.00 alignment, they may gain up to 4 alignment depending on the number of listeners (+ for [[Whitelighter|WL]], - for [[Blacklighter|BL]])

*Note: sermons given by different priests need to be spaced at least 30 minutes apart in order to continue to benefit the listener.

'''Additional Priest Benefits'''

*Sermons reset the prayer counter for the preacher if 6 valid listeners attended.

*Sermons also indicate how much praying is required until the chosen god's ritual ([[Ritual of the sun]], [[Rite of spring]], [[Holy crop]], or [[Rite of death]]) is ready to be performed.

''Note : The value returned by the tool below is much too high. Dividing the answer by 2 will give you an approximate estimate.''

* Devout/Mystic at 70 faith

* Illuminated at 100 faith

*moved outdated tips to here -[[User:KaiH|KaiH]] 11:54, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
== Tips ==
* The entire quantity of lye is used when making [[leather]] regardless of weight.
** A [[pottery flask]] with 1 [[potato]] and 4 [[corn]] in it will hold additional ~0,005kg lye. Keep the lye in a [[pottery jar]] or [[waterskin]] and fill the flask from there as needed. This way precious high ql lye will last very long.
** An alternative is to have 2 [[pottery flask]]s, one empty and one with 1 [[garlic]]. Filling the empty one first then transferring it to the 2nd leaves an almost zero quantity to the first. Depending on what seed has the smallest volume it could be even less. This method used with a garlic results in ~0,001kg of lye.
*When using 0.10kg pieces of ash the amount of water can be 1.00kg to 1.90kg to create 1.10kg to 2.00kg of lye. Using 2.00kg water or more will result in 1.00kg of lye only.
** To get the best ratio to create lye put 3 garlic and 4 barley in a pottery flask then drag the 2.00 water from a pottery jar to the flask to leave 1.90 water in the pottery jar.

== Questions ==
* "Even when using 45kg of water (a small barrel worth) and 0.10kg of lye, all water will be consumed and 1.00kg lye created. "
Shouldn't this be 0.10kg of ash instead of lye? -[[User:Xandaros|Xandaros]] ([[User talk:Xandaros|talk]])

To passionately strike down at those who aim to destroy these creations is to love Fo.

To strive after beauty and harmony with nature is to love Fo.

=== Fo's Inscription ([[Altar of Three]]) ===
 I am Fo. I am the Silence and the Trees.

The sprout is my symbol.

Silent and lonely I lingered in darkness. Look around you. I created this of love and loneliness.

You are all like, but different. You are all dirt. You are all gems. You just come in different shapes and colors.

Do my bidding. Let all things grow into the splendor they may possess. Strive after beauty and harmony with nature. Let your soul become a lustrous gem.

With the same passion by which I once created all this, strike down at those who aim to destroy these creations.

Love me. Let me love you.

{{Spell

}}== Description ==

A [[:category:spells|spell]] of [[Magranon]] given to [[Priest/Priestess|priests/priestesses]] at level 39 [[faith]] even though the spell requires 40 [[favor]].

This spell is used against [[monster]]s. It works almost like [[taming]], but has a lower rate of failure (based on [[channeling]] skill and Soul Strength). It can be used to dominate [[monster]]s without [[food]] as oppose to [[taming]]. The only creatures noted to be successfully dominated without the [[Gold Crown of Might|Crown of Might]] are [[Troll|trolls]], [[Goblin|goblins]], [[scorpion]]s, [[drakespirit]]s, and [[lava fiend]]s. It seems that creatures with humanlike characteristics can only be dominated.

*Dominate Lasts approximately 72 hours.
*When a creature is dominated, it will have a loyalty of 50.
*Pet will go offline when dominator logs off.
*Dominated creatures lose loyalty when hurt. The more powerful the creature the easier it becomes aggravated

== Trivia ==
You can take a [[huge shod club]] from a dominated [[troll]] inventory but not put it back on.

Starvation

2014-04-27T11:27:17Z

Xandaros: Undo revision 85838 by Xandaros (talk)

'''Starvation''' is the state a [[player]] enters into after losing all of its 8 fat reserves or layers. A player gradually loses fat layers by fasting without keeping its [[food bar]] above 84% for a period of time. Once all fat layers are used up, the player will no longer be able to fast and the food bar will drop to 0%. To reverse this loss of fat, stay above 84% food bar for a while by eating [[food]] such as [[meal]]s, [[stew]]s, [[casserole]]s, etc.

Fasting usually occurs at 6-8% remaining on the food bar and this message shows in the [[event window]]: "Your hunger goes away as you fast.". If player has fat layers then each fast will reduce a player's nutrition by 20% to a minimum of 10% where it cannot drop any lower.

As a player is able to feed itself to 100% food, it will become "[[player status effect|full]]", which means the food bar is over 84%. Over time, being "full" generates fat reserves on a player which can be observed by examining your body in inventory or another player by right-click and [[examine]], which will state how much fat the player has:

* only skin and bones
* very thin
* a bit under nourished
* normal build
* well defined
* a bit round
* extremely well nourished
* good reserves of fat

Players will stop fasting at "a bit under nourished". Starvation will '''not''' kill a player as of yet, but this could be changed at a later date.

Xandaros: Added image for tarred floor board. I repeated the normal one to see the contrast. Could be considered redundant, but I think it looks nice

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

{{Item
|name=Floor board
|image=Floor board.png
|active=[[plank]]
|passive=[[large nails]]
|group=Construction material
|materials=* 20x [[plank]]
* 1x [[large nails]]
|result=* 1 '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (42.00 kg)
|skill=carpentry}}

==Description==
A carpentry item used to create [[Terrain:Wooden planks|wooden flooring]].

===Usage===
* Activate the floor boards, right click a [[dirt]] or [[marsh]] tile, and select "Lay floor".
:''Note: Floor boards outside houses decay fast (tiles change to dirt).''
* Floor boards are useful for removing [[marsh]] tiles:
::Pave the marsh tile with floor boards. Equip a [[shovel]], right-click on the tile, and select "Destroy pavement". [[Body strength]] of 20 and 10 digging skill is required to destroy pavement.
::If you don't have the necessary skills to destroy pavement, wait for the floor boards to decay, the tile will be [[dirt]].

==Skills==

* [[Paving]] skill is used to apply a floor board.

==Notes==

* Plank quality determines the success rate.
* The [[plank]] and [[large nails]] used to start the floor board are damaged if the creation attempt fails. Subsequent planks will also get damaged if they fail to attach to the floor boards.
* Finished floor boards take up quite a lot of space, it is advised to haul them around unfinished, seeing as those take up nearly no space.
* Applying [[tar]] to a floor board after it has been paved will help reduce decay on the floor board. To use tar on a floor board, activate the tar in your inventory, select a paved floor board, and then select "Tar". Examining a correctly tarred floor board will display the message: "You see some planks laid down by someone. They are protected from the environment by a thin layer of tar."
** Tarred floor boards have a slightly darker texture
* You cannot Lay Floor on packed dirt. Use a [[shovel]] or a [[rake]] to Cultivate the square.

==Total materials needed==

* 21x [[plank]]
* 2x [[large nails]]
* 1x [[tar]] (1kg) (optional)

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

==Description==
In the Freedom Isles, a [[Priest]] with 40 [[Faith]] can convert a player with 30 Faith to priesthood. Alternately, on the Chaos server at 30 [[Faith]] you can go to the [[Altar of Three]] or [[Bone Altar]] and choose to "Become a priest".

On the Epic Cluster, at 30 [[Faith]] you can go to the [[Altar of Three]] or the [[Bone Altar]] on Elevation and choose to become a Priest.

==Altar Text==

You may chose to become a priest of <your god>

If you answer yes, you will receive special powers from your deity, such as the ability to cast spells.

You must also walk this path if you strive to become a Champion of <your god>.

You will however by very limited in what you can do.

You will for instance not be able to do such things as dig, mine, improve items, or use alchemy.

You will also not be able to steal, pick locks or destroy structures to mention just a few other limitations.

If you later decide to become a [[Champion player|Champion]] of <your god> these restrictions will be lifted.

As a Champion, you may only escape death a few times though. After that your life ends permanently.

If your faith ever fails you, you will lose your priesthood.

Do you want to become a priest of <your god> despite the severe limitations it will have on your actions?

== Restrictions ==

* Priests cannot improve. They can finish unfinished items that do not need items added to them.

== Losing priesthood ==

You can remove your priesthood by going unfaithful, and doing actions your god does not like. When you go below 30 faith, you will lose your priesthood, and your faith will be set down to 20. You may also convert to another god and your faith will go down to 1 and you will lose priesthood.

== Losing Premium ==
Upon losing premium your faith and favor capped at 20 and you temporarily lost priesthood, all of these will revert back to its original state when you purchase premium. Faith gain beyond 30 is not possible for free accounts.

== Preparing to Become a Priest ==

=== Basic or Premium? ===

You must have Premium time to be a priest. It is by far the best option to start your priest as a premium character from the outset, the reason being that all your characteristics will then be rising the whole time you are raising your Faith.

You will return to being a follower when you lose premium but getting it again will re-priest you as long as you don't do anything that will change your faith points.

=== Become a Follower ===

# Research each religion's priests abilities and penalties to find which will suit you.
# See [[Fo]], [[Libila]], [[Magranon]], [[Vynora]]
# Raise your Faith to 30.
# As a [[follower]] you cannot raise your Faith beyond 30.

=== Skills ===

# Nature skills should probably be kept as low as possible if you are on a basic account, since they generally affect soul characteristics which, in turn, improve spell casting abilities. Keeping them low at the start in that case should help you raise soul faster if you become premium.
# Support skills such as [[blacksmithing]], [[carpentry]], [[cloth tailoring]], [[masonry]], [[pottery]], [[stone cutting]] and [[woodcutting]] should all be raised to at least 20, and probably 30, so that you will not be left mostly unable to help yourself or your village in other ways after you become a priest.
# You should strongly consider raising [[Mind logic]] to 20.1 and [[Body control]] to 21 for the ability to command sailing boats and to ride horses. These characteristics are much harder to gain without crafting.

=== Characteristics ===

Assuming that you start as a premium character or that you intend to become premium around the time you become a priest, it is important to raise your Strength characteristic to at least 21 before you become a priest, since most priest penalties affect skills that raise strength well.

When you become a priest you must raise your soul strength/depth in order to improve the outcome of your spells. Libilian and Magranon priests must raise [[soul strength]], Fo and Vynoran Priests must raise [[soul depth]].

Xandaros: /* Flattening cave floors */

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

'''Flattening''' is the [[digging]] process of making a [[tile]] flat. A tile is considered flat when all four corners of the tile are of the same height, which can be seen by examining tile borders. If all 4 borders around a tile are reported as "level", the tile is flat.

== How to flatten a tile ==

You can go about flattening a tile using 2 methods: manual and automatic. While "automatic" sounds nice, it's actually quite a bit more complicated to get right than doing it manually until you get the hang of it.

=== The automatic way ===

The automatic way is to use the '''Flatten''' command by right-clicking on a tile with your [[shovel]] activated. If the tile is too steep to stand on, you can still use flatten successfully from an adjacent tile.

'''Note''': You cannot flatten a corner which is shared with a tree tile (or other immovable object). If it says "some corner can't be raised" then this is why.

In a nutshell, the flatten command takes dirt from high corners and and puts them on lower ones than the calculated average from the server zero-plane. The zero-plane is the lowest point possible in wurm, where digging further would result in you falling through the world. This plane is absolutely flat, and all dirt and rock heights are calculated from this plane by means of simple addition. This sounds a bit abstract, I know, but read on and all will be explained.

==== An example ====
Imagine that you are on the continent of flatland on flatten flats. This imaginary land has no slopes whatsoever, anywhere, and no water. You are standing in the middle of one tile in this land with a cart containing 40 dirts.You walk over to one of the 4 corners on that tile and drops 10 dirt on it from the cart. It now has a height of 10 dirt. Next, you repeat the procedure on the other 3 corners and suddenly you have a tile that is elevated 10 dirts above the rest of flatland. The height of each corner is 10.

*Corner 1: 10
*Corner 2: 10
*Corner 3: 10
*Corner 4: 10

Ok, now imagine that you decide to mess things up by digging up 5 dirt from one of the corners and put them on one of the 3 others. This could result in...

*Corner 1: 5
*Corner 2: 10
*Corner 3: 15
*Corner 4: 10

But you realize that doing this was retarded, and want the tile flat again. You ''could'' just dig up the extra 5 dirt from corner 3 again and drop them on corner 1 and it would be taken care of, but instead of that you position yourself on the tile and select "flatten".

==== How it works ====

What the game now does is calculate the height of your tile's corners based off the absolute zero plane of the game, in the example above the zero plane is the continent of flatland, so... 5+10+15+10=40. Divide that by 4 corners and you get, surprise, 10! So, the game now knows that the target height for the 4 corners is 10 dirts each, and begins to gradually take dirt from those corners ''above'' the target height and put it on the corners ''below'' it. It will continue to do this until one of the following conditions are met upon which it will stop:

* The tile is flat
* The tile corners have run out of dirt to make it completely flat (this will happen if the calculated average corner height isn't divisable by 4). Add extra dirt or dig away the surplus, then try again.
* It tries to alter a corner which is connected to a tile with an obstruction on it. The most common are [[tree]], [[clay]], [[marsh]] and [[moss]].
* It tries to alter a corner which is obstructed by a wall of any type.
* It tries to alter a corner which would create a slope that is steeper than your digging skill * 3.
* It hits rock in a corner

In the instance of case 2 above, there is dirt either missing or too much of it to make the tile completely flat. As stated, if the sum of the heights of the corners is a multiple of four, then the tile can be flattened. Otherwise, there are 1-3 dirt extra that prevent it from being completely even. The different results are listed below:

* If there is 1 extra dirt, you attempt to assemble.
* If there are 2 extra dirt:
** If the dirts are on the same corner (0-0-0-2), you attempt to assemble once.
*** In this case, '''the tile is not flattened completely'''. You must flatten again to finish.
** Otherwise, if you have at least one dirt in your inventory, you attempt to fill twice.
** Otherwise, you attempt to assemble twice.
* If there are 3 extra dirts, you attempt to fill.

'''Assemble''' means you attempt to dig one dirt on a high corner. If you can carry an additional dirt, the message "You assemble some dirt from a corner." is displayed and you gain one dirt. Otherwise, the message "If you could carry one more dirt pile, one more corner could be levelled" is displayed.

'''Fill''' means you attempt drop one dirt on a low corner. If you have a dirt to drop, the message "You use some of the dirt in one corner." is displayed and you lose one dirt. Otherwise, the message "If you carried some dirt, it would be used to fill the 1 corners that need it" is displayed.

If the flattening action successfully flattened the tile completely, the message "The ground is flat here." will be displayed. If this message is not displayed, you either failed to perform an assemble or fill, or it was a 0-0-0-2 spread.

==== Flattening time ====

The action time is based on the height difference in "dirts" between the highest and lowest corners of the tile. The time is 9 seconds plus an additional 10 seconds for every 4 dirts difference. Examples:

* 0 = "The ground is flat now."
* 1..3 = 9 secs
* 4..7 = 19 secs
* 8..11 = 29 secs
* 12..15 = 39 secs
* 16..19 = 49 secs
* etc

Examples of tiles that would give 9 seconds flattening time (the number below is the height difference):

<pre>
0---1 or 0---3 or 0---0
| | | | | |
1---2 3---3 0---3
(2) (3) (3)
</pre>

==== Flattening cave floors ====

The flatten option can also be used to flatten cave floors, but there are some differences:

* When flattening cave floors, you have to stand on the tile you are flattening. You cannot flatten from adjacent tiles.
* The flattening option will not raise corners in caves. It will mine down all corners to match the lowest one. (Needs confirmation)

=== Manual flattening ===

Manual flattening is the act of making an area flat through manually [[digging]] and dropping [[dirt]]. While the process requires more interaction by the digger, it is vastly superior when flattening large areas of land.

==== How to do it ====

# Pick a single corner as your reference (you could place a [[small barrel]] or another [[container]] on it so you know the reference corner if you wish).
# Stand on this corner and right-click on a [[tile border]] linking to another corner you wish to adjust.
# If the message reads "the slope is <number of dirts> steep '''towards''' you, the other corner is higher than your reference corner, and you'll need to walk over to it and dig it down by the specified amount.
# If the message reads "the slope is <number of dirts> steep '''away''' from you, the other corner is lower than your reference corner and needs to be filled up.
# Once the tile border reports "level", walk over to the corner you've adjusted and use it as your new reference corner. Since the level between it and your old reference corner is level, they're at the same height. Now look for a new slope to adjust and repeat the procedure as before.

=== Summary ===

Understand that the world is made up of pillars, and that the tiles are merely thin textures stretched out from the pillar's highest points. When you dig or drop dirt, all you do is adjust the height of the pillar (ie, a corner) you are standing nearest. When digging, all that matters are the corners. Tiles only matter when you use the "flatten" command, in which case the selected tile only decides which 4 corners (or pillars) should be compared to eachother and adjusted. Otherwise, ''forget about the tiles, only think about the corners''. Also, never forget that when digging and dropping dirt, it doesn't matter where you click, '''only where your feet are located'''.

Using a combination of manual and automatic flattening is usually the best idea once you've gotten the hang of how the system works, but until you do you may find it easier to rely on manual flattening.

The limitations of manual flattening is, of course, that it may take more time and interaction to complete, and also is subject to dirt flow. Dirt flow is what happens when you try to drop dirt on a corner with a slope diagonally that exceeds 40 in steepness (For example: You're dropping dirt northeast, then slopes N+W or E+S shouldn't be higher then 40 together). When using the "flatten" command, dirt flow ''does not apply'' and you can use it to create extreme slopes by the use of a technique known as [[Guides/FlatRaising|flatraising]]

Imagine that you are on the continent of flatland on flatten flats. This imaginary land has no slopes whatsoever, anywhere, and no water. You are standing in the middle of one tile in this land with a cart containing 40 dirts.You walk over to one of the 4 corners on that tile and drops 10 dirt on it from the cart. It now has a height of 10 dirt. Next, you repeat the procedure on the other 3 corners and suddenly you have a tile that is elevated 10 dirts above the rest of flatland. The height of each corner is 10.

*Corner 1: 10

Ok, now imagine that you decide to mess things up by digging up 5 dirt from one of the corners and put them on one of the 3 others. This could result in...

Divide that by 4 corners and you get, surprise, 10! So, the game now knows that the target height for the 4 corners is 10 dirts each, and begins to gradually take dirt from those corners ''above'' the target height and put it on the corners ''below'' it.

'''Assemble''' means you attempt to dig one dirt on a high corner. If you can carry an additional dirt, the message "You assemble some dirt from a corner." is displayed and you gain one dirt.

==== Flattening time ====

The action time is based on the height difference in "dirts" between the highest and lowest corners of the tile. The time is 9 seconds plus an additional 10 seconds for every 4 dirts difference. Examples:

# Pick a single corner as your reference (you could place a [[small barrel]] or another [[container]] on it so you know the reference corner if you wish).
# Stand on this corner and right-click on a [[tile border]] linking to another corner you wish to adjust.
# If the message reads "the slope is <number of dirts> steep '''towards''' you, the other corner is higher than your reference corner, and you'll need to walk over to it and dig it down by the specified amount.
# If the message reads "the slope is <number of dirts> steep '''away''' from you, the other corner is lower than your reference corner and needs to be filled up.
# Once the tile border reports "level", walk over to the corner you've adjusted and use it as your new reference corner. Since the level between it and your old reference corner is level, they're at the same height. Now look for a new slope to adjust and repeat the procedure as before.

Level

2014-04-11T08:54:41Z

Xandaros: /* Notes */

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

'''Levelling''' is the [[digging]] process of taking an adjacent [[tile]] to the same level as the one being stood on (the reference tile). The reference tile must be flat; a tile is considered flat when all four corners are of the same height, which can be seen by examining tile borders. If all 4 borders around a tile are reported as "level", the tile is flat.

== How to level a tile ==

When standing on an already flat tile, select the '''level''' command by right-clicking on the required adjacent tile with a [[shovel]] activated.

* If the tile to be levelled is lower (or contains less dirt) than the reference tile [[dirt]] (or [[sand]]) must be held in the player inventory to begin.
* If the tile to be levelled is higher (or contains more dirt) than the reference tile the player inventory must have space for at least one dirt to begin.

This dirt is then dropped or collected automatically to bring the selected tile to the same height as the reference tile. The process will continue until the tile is level as long as new dirt is brought into the inventory for raising, emptied from the inventory for lowering, or the player runs out of [[stamina]].

== Notes ==
* As with [[flattening]], when lowering a tile levelling will stop once rock is found in one corner. Since levelling typically takes or adds two dirts at a time it is possible to repeatedly select level to remove the one dirt from the corner which has not hit rock.
* With at least 70 digging skill you can level resource tiles, such as [[clay]] or [[tar]], as long as no corner needs to be raised. You will get dirt for lowering the corner instead of the resource. If a corner needs to be raised you will receive the message ''Some corners can't be modified'' and the levelling action stops.
* If used on a dirt(or similar) tile, you will lower one corner every 5 seconds. If used on a cave floor tile, you will lower one corner every 10 seconds.

1) Move to stand beside a trader, merchant or a token (does not have to be your own deed).

2) Activate the item you wish to sell by double-clicking it.

3) Right-click the trader, merchant or token and select the 'Sell' option; this triggers a 3 second timer.

4) Your money is added automatically to your bank account.

==Limitations==
Items are given an iron value when sold, this is equivalent to 1 iron per 10ql plus 1 iron, minimum being 1 iron for a 0-9ql item.

You can earn up to 5 copper per hour maximum by selling items in this way. When you hit the maximum, you'll get the message: "You have sold your quota for now." 
Once you get this message, you will be able to sell again one hour after you sold your first item. (Needs confirmation)

Certain items cannot be sold this way, including liquids, scraps, dirt, clay, needles, rock shards, nails.

== Notes ==
A discussion of this feature is on the forums in the City Hall section : http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/87796-money-distribution-improvements/

== Description ==
Fine-grained brown [[mortar]], perfect for [[masonry]]. Required to build [[stone house|stone housing]] walls.

== Notes ==
* The [[quality]] of the clay used to create the [[mortar]] affects your success chance.
* The maximum quality of the resulting [[mortar]] is equal to the [[heap of sand|sand]]'s quality.
* [[Mortar]], like [[clay]], takes [[damage]] after a couple of hours. To increase its lifetime, put it into a [[container]].
* If you fail to create the [[mortar]], 0.20kg will be consumed from the clay and [[heap of sand|sand]].
* [[Mortar]] can be combined and still used in [[Stone house|house building]]. After each [[Stone brick|brick]] is added, 2kgs of [[mortar]] will simply be removed from the combined lump.
* Can also be used in the creation of [[concrete]] when combined with [[lye]].

== Description ==
''An ornate and intricate metal lock used to lock a boat.''

'''Boat lock''' is used to lock a [[ship]] or a boat. It is a recommended device to prevent your [[mooring anchor]] and boat from being stolen.

== Boat locks 101 ==
* The most difficult lock to create.
* The boat's inventory window must be closed to attach or remove a boat lock, otherwise the option to ''Lock'' or ''Unlock'' won't appear.
* To attach a boat lock, activate the lock, right-click the boat, and select ''Lock''.
* To remove a boat lock, activate the correct key, right-click the boat, and select ''Unlock''.
* You do not need the key to access the cargohold, permissions are managed in the ''Manage vehicle'' dialogue.

== Notes ==
* Only with a boat lock, will the permissions in the management dialog then take effect.
* The [[quality]] of the large anvil affects your success chance when creating.
* The quality of the iron lump determines the maximum quality of the resulting lock.
* You will want a quality of 80 or higher to effectively protect your boat on [[server types|servers]] with [[lockpick]]ing and [[stealing]] enabled.
* You might also want to moor your boat with a [[mooring anchor]].

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

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

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

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

Analyse

2013-06-29T23:20:46Z

Xandaros: /* How to use */

Analyse is an action granted by the [[prospecting]] skill. When used on recently mined [[rock shards]], or even [[ore]]s, it allows you to determine if any ore veins are nearby the tile the shard was mined from, as well as their approximate distance from that tile. The action is first unlocked at prospecting skill level 20. To Analyse, activate a [[pickaxe]], right-click a rock shards, and select "Analyse."

==Event messages==

*"You are unable to work out how to analyse the shard." - You are below prospecting skill level 20.
*"It looks like someone has tampered with the rock shards and therefore you decide not to analyse it." - The shard has already been analysed. Also appears if part of the shards have been used to make something or used in improving. Trying a second time should allow you to analyse or re-analyse it.
*"The rock shards looks too old for a decent analysis and therefore you decide not to analyse it." - Appears if you try to analyse a shard from a [[bulk storage bin]]. (Also may be given if the shard really is too old? - Needs confirmation)

==How to use==

When analysing a shard, several messages will appear in the event window over several seconds.

Depending on your prospecting skill, you will receive different amounts of information from the shard. Nearby ores will appear as traces every few lines. The strength of the traces shows the distance from the tile the shard originated from, to the tile with the ore vein. The level of your prospecting skill will determine the strength of the traces you can detect.

The four different strengths:
*"Traces" - Shows for ore that is 1 tile away. Unlocked with Analyse at prospecting level 20.
*"Slight traces" - Shows for ore that is 2 tiles away. Unlocked with Analyse at prospecting level 20.
*"Faint traces" - Shows for ore that is 3 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 35.
*"Minuscule traces" - Shows for ore that is 4 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 40. (Needs confirmation) (Required level is >40)
*"Vague traces" - Shows for ore that is 5 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 70. (Needs confirmation)

The distance away from the analysed rock shard/tile is a square of radius equivalent to the distance.

Additionally, at higher prospecting levels, you can begin to see the quality of veins. Veins farther away require more skill in order to assess the quality. Rather than a specific quality, it lists a range of quality. This is the same vein quality system used in prospecting.

The quality ranges are:
*Poor: 20-29 QL
*Acceptable: 30-39 QL
*Normal: 40-59 QL
*Good: 60-79 QL
*Very good: 80-94 QL
*Utmost: 95-99 QL

Level necessary to see quality at specific distances:
*"Traces" quality, unlocked at level 22
*"Slight traces" quality, unlocked at level 60 (Needs confirmation) (Required level is <41 and >24)
*"Faint traces" quality, unlocked at level 70 (Needs confirmation)
*"Minuscule traces" quality, unlocked at level 80 (Needs confirmation)
*"Vague traces" quality, unlocked at level 90 (Needs confirmation)

===Example===

This is a possible analyse readout at prospecting level 20-29:

*You start to analyse the shard.
*Lots of different sized rock shards.
*You notice a trace of silver ore.
*You take a closer look.
*You notice a slight trace of iron ore.
*You finish analysing the shard.

This indicates that the [[silver ore]] is within one tile of the analysed rock shard/tile. So it could be one tile North, South, East, West, Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, or Northeast of the analysed tile. It is the square of tiles immediately surrounding the analysed one. Each increment of distance beyond this is the square of tiles immediately surrounding the previous one. In this example the second square, of distance two, holds the [[iron ore]].

==Notes==

===Facts===
*Rare pickaxe will not add another line of information.
*Ores may also be analysed.
*There is a skill tick chance for each trace strength analysis. (ex. If you can go up to "faint traces" you get 3 skill tick chances.)
*You get more prospecting skill gain when you have lower stamina.
*It is possible to detect two veins in the same distance zone. Both can have its quality range listed and be of same type, each on separate lines.
*Rock shard QL plays no part in how much information is given.

===Uncertain knowledge===
*Rare rock shards do not appear to give any more information than normal rock shards. (Needs confirmation)

===Speculation===
*[[Flint]] and [[salt]] detection may be possible (if not now, in the future.)

"Gems appear randomly during all mining, and cannot be prospected." - Can anyone with 90+ prospecting confirm that this is absolutely true? My testing has indicated that gems occur in clusters of tiles much like flint and salt, and I suspect that they are prospectable at some point, probably 80 if the 20 skill increments are any indication. --[[User:Telarin|Telarin]] 13:50, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

: In all my mining gems have come very randomly. The best was 6 shards mined in between two gems just recently and the worst stretch was 4k mining actions without a gem. I also mined away 7 veins so far and they all gave gems at some point except for the one iron vein that popped after about 700 iron. So far I got 140 gems. 92 on rock with a ratio of 1 in 975 shards mined and 48 on ore with a ration of 1 in 926 ore mined. So to me it seems that every tile really has the chance to give gems but rock tiles simply break to fast ;) --[[User:Ago|Ago]] 17:38, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Prospecting

2013-06-26T20:41:47Z

Xandaros: /* See also */

[[CDB | Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Prospecting]]

'''Prospecting''' is a [[mining]] [[skill|subskill]] for locating [[ore vein]]s, [[flint]], and [[salt]] in [[rock tile|rock]]. To prospect, activate a [[pickaxe]], right-click a [[rock tile]], and select "Mining > Prospect".

==Notes==
* Ore veins can't be searched for by means of prospecting when being inside a [[cave]]; the player has to be on the surface. Surface prospecting of flint and salt is only for the single tile prospected; nearby flint/salt tiles can't be prospected.
* [[Gem]]s appear randomly during all mining, and cannot be prospected.
* All ores are slightly regional. Thus, if an ore vein is located, it is likely there will be other veins of the same ore type nearby.
* You can also use a [[tuning fork of metal detection]] to determine the exact quality and mining operations left on a vein.
* Currently a bug where after you transmute a rock tile into a vein, it still gives you the quality of the rock tile you transmuted. Not the proper quality, which is 99ql, or utmost.

==Skill levels==
Anyone can detect veins within 3 tiles. At higher skill levels, additional abilities are unlocked (currently affected by the curve on Epic):

* 20: Estimate the [[quality]] of a vein or rock tile, and detect flint when present
** ''Note : Free to play seem to get this bonus when prospecting on a rock surface outside, but not inside the mines.''
* 40: Detect salt when present
* 60: Estimate the remaining amount of ore in a vein

== Vein quality ==
Rock tiles and ore veins have a maximum quality level.

* Poor: 20-29 (can also prospect as "pretty bad")
* Acceptable: 30-39
* Normal: 40-59
* Good: 60-79
* Very good: 80-94
* Utmost: 95-99

== Vein depletion ==
If your prospecting skill is over 60, prospecting an ore vein will give you an estimate of how much ore is left there.

* "Only a few weeks mining remain here" ''(more than 5000)''
* "The ore is starting to deplete" ''(between 3000 and 5000)''
* "You should start to prospect for another vein of this ore" ''(between 1000 and 3000)''
* "The ore will run out soon" ''(between 100 and 1000)''
* "The ore will run out any hour" ''(1-100)''

X = no prospect of that ore

3 = I recommend you start mining here
</pre>

Realize that the world is two-dimensional. All the rock and ore tiles are pillars, they are not cubes. You can ignore the height of mountains when prospecting. Only North/South/West/East matter.

When you prospect on the surface, you can detect ore in an area of 7x7 area around you. That's 3 tiles in all directions from the tile you are prospecting. Prospecting inside a cave is not done to find ores, but to tell specific details about the tile you are prospecting.

When you prospect e.g. iron ore on the surface, that means that somewhere within a range of 3 tiles around you (including the tiles behind you) an iron vein is located. You then try to find the tiles where you can no longer prospect the ore. You need to find one North or South edge, and one East or West edge.

Then count 3 tiles from both those edges and the tile you end up with is the ore vein.

You cannot mine the vein tile directly from the surface. If you try to mine the vein tile from the surface, you will get the message You fail to produce anything, the rock is stone hard, or You cannot keep mining here, the rock is unusually hard (only when you were supposed to get a stone shard, otherwise you'll get You chip away at the rock as usual). You will have to start tunneling in the tile next to vein.

Sometimes grass, dirt or other tile types hinder the prospecting. Try to find a large rockface to ease prospecting.

Or you can try this program out as well: http://discon.googlepages.com/prospector.html

Alternative Web tool: http://www.pvv.org/~magnusrk/wurm/prospect.html

You will have to reveal all the tiles in a 7x7 area to find the vein.

* ‘O’ the tile you prospected
* ‘X’ tiles that need to be mined out
* ‘#’ you

Note that I left 2 rows of tiles unmined between mined rows. This increases your chances of finding a 2nd vein that is beyond the reach of prospect. As you expand your mine, this pattern should be continued and expanded to reveal all the tiles in your mine's area.

"Gems appear randomly during all mining, and cannot be prospected." - Can anyone with 90+ prospecting confirm that this is absolutely true?

Xandaros:

I've been looking into some rumors and a theory of mine. I've found that the different colors of rock on grassy tiles seem to indicate the type of ore in the vicinity. I've found copper near greenish rocks and iron near the large gray rocks. It should be noted that greenish rocks were not present where I found iron and visa virsa. I'm still looking into this and would love more information regarding this subject to the degree it could be added to this page. --[[User:Fishybows|Fishybows]] 16:17, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Analyse

2013-06-26T17:57:55Z

Xandaros: /* How to use */

Analyse is an action granted by the [[prospecting]] skill. When used on recently mined [[rock shards]], or even [[ore]]s, it allows you to determine if any ore veins are nearby the tile the shard was mined from, as well as their approximate distance from that tile. The action is first unlocked at prospecting skill level 20. To Analyse, activate a [[pickaxe]], right-click a rock shards, and select "Analyse."

==Event messages==

*"You are unable to work out how to analyse the shard." - You are below prospecting skill level 20.
*"It looks like someone has tampered with the rock shards and therefore you decide not to analyse it." - The shard has already been analysed. Also appears if part of the shards have been used to make something or used in improving. Trying a second time should allow you to analyse or re-analyse it.
*"The rock shards looks too old for a decent analysis and therefore you decide not to analyse it." - Appears if you try to analyse a shard from a [[bulk storage bin]]. (Also may be given if the shard really is too old? - Needs confirmation)

==How to use==

When analysing a shard, several messages will appear in the event window over several seconds.

Depending on your prospecting skill, you will receive different amounts of information from the shard. Nearby ores will appear as traces every few lines. The strength of the traces shows the distance from the tile the shard originated from, to the tile with the ore vein. The level of your prospecting skill will determine the strength of the traces you can detect.

The four different strengths:
*"Traces" - Shows for ore that is 1 tile away. Unlocked with Analyse at prospecting level 20.
*"Slight traces" - Shows for ore that is 2 tiles away. Unlocked with Analyse at prospecting level 20.
*"Faint traces" - Shows for ore that is 3 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 35.
*"Minuscule traces" - Shows for ore that is 4 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 40. (Needs confirmation) (Required level is >40)
*"Vague traces" - Shows for ore that is 5 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 70. (Needs confirmation)

The distance away from the analysed rock shard/tile is a square of radius equivalent to the distance.

Additionally, at higher prospecting levels, you can begin to see the quality of veins. Veins farther away require more skill in order to assess the quality. Rather than a specific quality, it lists a range of quality. This is the same vein quality system used in prospecting.

The quality ranges are:
*Poor: 20-29 QL
*Acceptable: 30-39 QL
*Normal: 40-59 QL
*Good: 60-79 QL
*Very good: 80-94 QL
*Utmost: 95-99 QL

Level necessary to see quality at specific distances:
*"Traces" quality, unlocked at level 22
*"Slight traces" quality, unlocked at level 60 (Needs confirmation) (Required level is <41)
*"Faint traces" quality, unlocked at level 70 (Needs confirmation)
*"Minuscule traces" quality, unlocked at level 80 (Needs confirmation)
*"Vague traces" quality, unlocked at level 90 (Needs confirmation)

===Example===

This is a possible analyse readout at prospecting level 20-29:

*You start to analyse the shard.
*Lots of different sized rock shards.
*You notice a trace of silver ore.
*You take a closer look.
*You notice a slight trace of iron ore.
*You finish analysing the shard.

This indicates that the [[silver ore]] is within one tile of the analysed rock shard/tile. So it could be one tile North, South, East, West, Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, or Northeast of the analysed tile. It is the square of tiles immediately surrounding the analysed one. Each increment of distance beyond this is the square of tiles immediately surrounding the previous one. In this example the second square, of distance two, holds the [[iron ore]].

==Notes==

===Facts===
*Rare pickaxe will not add another line of information.
*Ores may also be analysed.
*There is a skill tick chance for each trace strength analysis. (ex. If you can go up to "faint traces" you get 3 skill tick chances.)
*You get more prospecting skill gain when you have lower stamina.
*It is possible to detect two veins in the same distance zone. Both can have its quality range listed, each on separate lines.
*Rock shard QL plays no part in how much information is given.

===Uncertain knowledge===
*Rare rock shards do not appear to give any more information than normal rock shards. (Needs confirmation)

===Speculation===
*[[Flint]] and [[salt]] detection may be possible (if not now, in the future.)

It seems you need rougly 35-36 prospecting in order to analyze. [[User:Rotab|Rotab]] ([[User talk:Rotab|talk]])

== Skill needed to analyse ores - only certain types of ore ==

I just found myself unable to analyse some Zinc ore with level 20 prospecting. (Didn't give me the option)
However, I was able to analyse iron just fine.

Either, you need more skill depending on which ore you are analysing, or you can only analyse certain ore types.
My guess is the latter.

== Skill requirement to get vein quality ==

According to the current article, you need 20 prospecting to see the quality of a vein 1 tile away.
However, I just tried that(on both rock an an actual ore) and could not see ore quality, so I'm guessing you need a bit more prespecting for that.

'''Cow''' is a domestic animal you can find wandering around [[grass]] lands. You can use a [[rope]] to lead it. You cannot lead it into [[water]] though. You can feed cows by placing them in a tile of [[grass]] or a tile of farmed [[field]], but they can stomp the grass into packed dirt and eat your [[crops]].

== General Information ==
A cow, like other animals in Wurm, will not yield meat when butchering if they are starving. Fat cows, on the other hand, will yield extra meat upon butchering. Cows may wander while grazing for food, so [[fence]] them in a large area with lots of grass or crops. Cows can and usually will destroy crops over time by walking on them, so only put them on your extra fields.

== Milking ==
Cows can be milked once per Wurm day (every 3 hours).

Activate a portable container like [[small bucket]], [[small barrel]], [[pottery jar]] or [[water skin]], right-click the cow, and select ''Milk''. Drink it, or use a [[cheese drill]] to make it into [[cheese]].
==Notes==
*Bashing attack
*Leadable
*[[Milk]]able
*Will eat grass on their own if on a tile of grass
*Cannot swim
*Weak

Branding

2013-05-31T15:28:35Z

Xandaros: Added unbranding messages

Some animals including horses, cows, bulls, pigs and pheasants can be branded using a [[branding iron]]. Branding works only when on a deed you are a member of. Once branded, examining the animal shows the village it belongs to and allows members of that village to lead it, no matter where it is.

When a deed disbands, all brands are removed from their animals.

== Usage ==
* Heat the branding iron to searing or glowing hot.
* Make sure you and the animal are within the deed you are a member of.
* Activate the branding iron, right-click the animal, and select ''Brand''.
* After use, the branding iron appears to lose 0.10Quality instead of taking actual damage.

Messages given when branding:
: ''You prepare to brand [animal, e.g. Young fat horse].''
: ''Determined, you raise your branding iron.''
: ''The [animal] makes a [horrible / pleasant] sound as you press your branding iron against it.''

When examining the animal after branding, it will say: "It has been been branded by and belongs to the settlement of [Settlement]."

Once branded, members of that village can lead the animal, no matter where it is.

== Unbranding ==
To unbrand an animal, simply use the [[branding iron]] on that animal again.

Messages while unbranding:
: ''You prepare to remove brand on a [animal].''
: ''You promptly raise your branding iron.''
: ''The [animal] makes a horrible sound as you press your branding iron against it and remove the brand.''
