Main / Wind

Wind affects several things in Wurm, including trees, crops, and boats.

Boats

Wind is used to determine maximum boat speeds in each direction. The 90-degree angle, which stretches 45 degrees on either side of the direction the wind is coming from, gives the slowest speed. The next 90 degrees away from the direction the wind is coming from give a much faster speed. The 90 degrees across from the wind source give the fastest speed. Note that wind speed also varies, for example not all gale give the same boost.

The current wind speed and direction can be found by typing /weather into a chat window.

Windspeeds

The possible wind speeds are, in ascending order in terms of power:

  • Light breeze
  • Breeze
  • Strong breeze
  • Strong wind
  • Gale
