== Description ==
'''Decay''' is the erosion of objects over time in the form of gradually increasing [[Damagedamage]]. The decay rate depends on the item type, where the item is stored, the item's [[quality]], and sometimes the item's material. [[Log]]s, [[stone shards]] or [[dirt]] for example will completely decay within days while other items may even last months and years. Items made from [[cedar]]wood decay slower, and containers made from cedarwood protect their contents better than other containers.
[[Damage]] from decay and other sources is displayed in the DMG column. Damage is also done to items from being used or failing an improvement attempt.
=== Deeds ===
* [[Deed]]s decrease decay on [[:Category:Walls|wall]]s of any kind by 10x, if the [[upkeep]] is higher than 7 [[day]]s.
* Deeds stop the decay on walls of any kind if the upkeep is higher than 30 days.
* Deeds also stop decay on Lampslamps, Flagsflags, and Bannersbanners
=== Houses ===
* Stacking a container inside another container does NOT improve the bonus
* Containers in the [[inventory]] do not modify the decay rate of their contents at all.
* [[Bless]] has no affect effect on decay. Its only use is to activate metal altars and to enchant planted [[lamp]]s to stay lit on paved tiles.
* Wooden fences do not decay faster than stone fences (see: [http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Empirical_Evaluation_of_Fences]).
