Main / Quality level

Quality level (or just quality), QL, is one of the most important component in Wurm shown in various inventories and when examining.

QL decides how good something is and how well it works.

A 1 QL item would be considered extremely low, 50 QL would be average, and 99 QL would be extremely good.

Effects

Higher quality decreases:

  • The rate at which items are damaged by use, attack, and decay.
  • The time it takes to use or to create something.
  • The time it takes to heat up an item.

And increases:

  • The general performance of the item.
  • The quality of the items they produce.
  • Chance of success when creating something with them.
  • The legibility of the signature displayed on the item.

Unique cases

Higher quality increases:

  • The number of guards in a guard tower. There is one guard every 10 QL, so a 24 QL tower has 2 guards while a 41 QL tower has 4 guards. A tower will always have 1 guard but it will not get a second until it passes 20 QL.
  • The range and strength of a god's presence around an altar.
  • The amount food will fill up the hunger bar.
