  • Snowball item count from snow pile nodes has been significantly increased in winter. For instance, snow piles below the snow line will now yield 8 snowballs instead of 4.
  • Snowball quality now drops significantly less than it did before with each successive snowball collected during the action, and should now be much higher on average.

Patch Notes 05-DEC-2023

Server Changelog

• New: Resource Nodes (Foraging/Botanizing Overhaul)
  • The existing foraging, botanizing, and snow-collecting systems have been replaced by a new system where visible resource nodes spawn on tiles from which you can gather resources.
  • Each type of resource node has its own appearance, set of possible items, and skill associated with it, and can be spotted visually while exploring the wilderness.
  • All items previously available through foraging and botanizing are still available in the new system, along with many others, such as clay, ore/mineral shards, and a wider variety of plant products.
  • Unlike the previous foraging and botanizing system, resource nodes are available on virtually every type of tile, including some exclusive to shallow water. Several tile types also have their own exclusive types of resource nodes that cannot appear anywhere else.
  • Resource nodes spawn and disappear randomly over time, and also disappear when items are collected from them. Only one can exist on a tile at any given time. A resource node will also be removed if the type of the tile changes, such as grass being packed with a shovel.
  • A new settlement management setting has been introduced to prevent resource nodes from appearing within your village. This requires at least one spirit templar to be hired as part of the village plan.
  • The possibility, and probability, of a type of resource node spawning on a tile depends on factors including, but not limited to, tile type, altitude, season, and proximity to water.
  • Similarly, the possibility and probability of getting specific items from a resource node can also depend on a variety of conditions. Some plants are more common in certain seasons, for example, and some very uncommon items might only be possible at high skill.
  • Using “Lore” on a resource node will tell you what kinds of items you could collect from it, in order of how likely they are, as well as how difficult the action will be compared to your skill level, and the number of items you will receive. Using “Lore” on a tile will tell you what resource nodes might spawn there, also in order of likelihood.
  • The number of items you can collect from a Foraging or Botanizing resource node depends on the type of resource node, some other factors (such as tile type or grass length), and your skill level. Unlike in the previous system, higher skill level simply adds a flat value to the number of items you will receive:
    • 20-50 skill: +1
    • 50-70 skill: +2
    • 70-90 skill: +3
    • 90+ skill: +4
  • “Snow pile” resource nodes, the new source of snowballs, can now be found outside Winter at sufficient altitude. This “snow line” changes elevation throughout the in-game year, so some areas may get snow year-round, while others may only experience it closer to Winter. All snow piles, however, will provide more snowballs in Winter than in other seasons.
  • Magical enchantments on equipped gloves can now be used when collecting from resource nodes, as well as when creating or improving clay items with the hand:
    • Only magical effects such as runes and spell enchantments function for this purpose. For example, Wind of Ages will improve action speed and Circle of Cunning will improve skill gain.
    • The glove is not being used as an actual tool, so it will not receive damage, and its quality, rarity, and material will have no impact on effectiveness. However, like a tool, enchantments will still decay from use.
    • Enchantment/Rune effectiveness is averaged between both gloves. For example, having 100 Wind of Ages on one glove and 50 on the other will be equivalent to having 75 Wind of Ages on a tool, and having a rune on one glove but not the other will result in that rune being half as effective as usual.
• Bugfix: Black Claw will now spawn as steel.
  • The material change will also be applied to already existing items.
• Bugfix: Animals hitched underground should no longer disappear on server restart.
• Bugfix: Ribboned shoulder pads should no longer be burnable.
• Bugfix: Fixed a situation where animals would teleport elsewhere after being led into water

Client Changelog

• New: The client now uses a new method for outlining objects, intended to look cleaner on complex objects with a lot of transparent parts. This feature is only available using the modern renderer.
  • The default neutral outline color has been changed. The outline color can still be manually changed in the settings
  • Launcher settings allow you to set the outline color by RGB values. Values for the old default outline color: (128, 128, 255)
• Change: Changed FoV (field of view) calculations to work better on widescreen setups. Note: If you run the game in a square or vertical window, you might need to tweak your FoV setting to have the same view angles as previously
• Change: Increased the visibility of snowfall on the modern renderer
• Change: Removed some unused options that have been causing an issue on graphics profile settings for some users.
• Change: Changed default setting for “Cartography Indicator Fade-out Distance” to 2 tiles from 8.
• Bugfix: Updated client runtime libraries with potential rare crash fixes.

Patch Notes 24-OCT-2023

Server Changelog

• New: Halloween event preparations - event announcement and dates coming shortly!
• Change: Rift Tweaks
  • Source crystals can no longer be added to socketed rings.

Patch Notes 19-SEP-2023

Server Changelog

• New: Decorative Ship item
  • Can be created using Fine Carpentry, by using a carving knife on a log

• Change: Hammer of Magranon and Sceptre of Ascension skill changes have been reverted based on feedback.
• Change: Action timers for creating arrow bundles have been decreased.

• Bugfix: Fixed the error where only the last spell being applied to arrow bundles would show when opening.

• Bugfix: Rift sickness no longer depends on the rift being active.
• Bugfix: The range to be able to continue a colossus inside a rift has been extended.
• Bugfix: Continue chance on right click and on crafting window will now update with rift sickness as you work on a rift colossus.
• Bugfix: Fixed combat log messages for acid and frost imbued weapon strikes not showing hit strength.
• Bugfix: Fixed acid imbued weapons doing reduced damage.
• Bugfix: Fixed Oakshell not working properly.
• Bugfix: Fixed acid traps doing less damage than they should.

With the release of the new rift colossus there was a bug in the rift sickness mechanic where it did not reduce over time. This caused the colossus to be considerably more difficult to complete than intended.

This mechanic is designed to allow more players to contribute by making the colossus more difficult the more pieces you attach in a single hour. However the effect is supposed to reduce over time allowing continuous contributions.

If you encountered this bug and were prevented from contributing as much as desired we apologize for the inconvenience and confusion and we encourage you to try again at the next rift

Monthly Skin

The "Small Knarr" skin, available now on the Marks shop, can be applied to the new decorative ship item.

Patch Notes 12-SEP-2023

Server Changelog

• New: Rift Update
  • Rift Colossus
    • Four unfinished colossus, one for each god, will be placed around the rift before it starts. For each part added to the colossus, the builder will have a chance to get a rift point (to be spent for rift rewards) or a rift material.
    • Difficulty of adding parts to the rift colossus has been cut in half.
    • Adding parts to the rift colossus will cause rift sickness which will increase difficulty of adding parts but goes away over time.
      • Players do not need to be online to reduce rift sickness.
    • A finished colossus will grant different buffs during rift combat, depending on which god it belongs to:
      • Fo - one random wound healed every minute, Willowspine is applied to rift participants
      • Magranon - Mass Stamina is applied to participants every minute, Frantic charge buff is also active for players in the rift area
      • Vynora - Excel is applied to all rift participants
      • Libila - Only fight skill and body strength will be lost on death, double rift creature spawns
    • Rift Points
      • Rift points will now be awarded proportionally according to damage dealt to the rift creatures.
    • Rift Rewards
      • Functionality of the bracelet of inspiration has been changed - this item guarantees success on a Moment of Inspiration when improving items, while being worn. Upon creating a rare item the bracelet gets destroyed.
      • Socketed rings now give different crafting and gathering bonuses depending on the gem used
      • Artisan rings increase skill gain for a skill you select up front.. These can also be recharged with rift points when it’s close to being depleted.
        • Depleting a ring does not damage it.
      • Shoulder pad functionalities have been changed, and their effects now are more varied, with some providing new buffs such as the Tank and Berserker affinities, respectively reducing and increasing the incoming and outcoming damage at once. Also reducing movement speed penalty in heavy armour and improving dual wielding.
      • Soul stealer necklace functionality has been balanced, now triggering only on stronger enemies
    • Unfinished colossus visibility range extended
    • Artisan ring will be enabled on PvP
    • Many Rift Items will now be impable and repairable
    • Many rift effects scale based on quality
    • Left and Right shoulder pads have been consolidated into one fits both sides
    • Removed land deformation on rift landing (will still remove trees and grass but will not create dirt from other tiles or make mounds)

Important Note: Only rifts that spawn the beam after the update will have unfinished colossus to work on.

• New: Arrow Bundles
  • Arrow Bundles allow the player to combine multiple arrows into one item, so that they can all be improved, and spell cast on as one.
  • To create a bundle, activate a wire and right click a war arrow or a hunting arrow, then click "Bind".
  • To add an arrow to the bundle activate an arrow, right click the bundle, and click "Add to Bundle".
  • To break apart the bundle back into separate arrows, activate a pair of pliers, right click the bundle and click "Unbind".
  • Max arrow count that can be stored in the bundle is scaled with the players fletching skill. Min 2, max 41 at around 100 skill.
  • Arrow bundles have the amount of arrows appended to the name.
  • Initial ql of the bundle is dictated by the creation arrow. If an arrow is added and of different ql than the bundle, the bundle ql will change to the average of the current (bundle ql + arrow ql) / arrowCount in the bundle. Basically the same way bsbs do it.
  • You can have an MOI on a bundle while imping it. The rarity of the arrow bundle will be transferred to 1 of the arrows when unbinding.
  • You can mix arrow types in the bundle, war and hunting arrow counts are saved to the bundle.
  • Creating, adding, or unbinding, the bundle must be in your inventory.
  • You can add rare+ and casted arrows to the bundle, but their spells and rarity type will be lost. (You are warned at the start of the action, and have time to stop.)
  • Action time is variable and based on the quality of the arrow, wire and the fletching skill of the player.
  • The materials when improving a bundle is scaled to match that of the arrows added. 41 arrows means 41x the required log amount per imp action. This is only the material cost for the log improvement action, every other improvement action is the same as normal items, and there is not an actual difficulty increase.
  • Bundles can have spells cast on them, but are substantially more difficult to cast on. Be diligent when casting on them with lower channeling priests as they may shatter or get damaged.
  • You can cast any spell onto the bundle that you would be able to cast onto an arrow.
  • You cannot improve an arrow bundle that has more arrows in it than you can add.
  • You cannot imbue or use a rune on an arrow bundle.
  • You cannot combine bundles, you can only add arrows to them.

• New: New title has been added for 100 skill in Miscellaneous Items. Congrats Trash!

• Change: You can now dye quivers.
• Change: Changes to the "/suicide" command.
  • The functionality of the "/suicide" command is now part of the "/respawn" command. If you are already dead, the /respawn command will pop up the respawn location window as it does now, but if you are still alive, it will pop up the suicide window.
  • Text associated with this feature has been changed to be somewhat less graphic and remove any explicit references to self-harm.
  • Some text in the pop-up question has been added to include information about loss of skill and items.
  • The swirling visual effect in the client when dead is now a different color if the death was due to the use of /respawn, to differentiate it from the blood red swirl used when dying of wounds.
  • At some point in the future, the "/suicide" command itself may be removed, and it has been removed from the "/help" command, but for now, it will still function, with the same results as the "/respawn" command.
  • The purpose of these changes is to remove references to suicide/self-injury that are upsetting to some people. We trust that these changes will help alleviate that concern without removing anything of value.

• Change: The "Bury All" action will no longer destroy any equipment the creature was wearing or wielding when it was alive. An exception is made for the huge shod clubs given to trolls when they spawn. For corpses of creatures killed before this change, this data will not be available, so it will instead skip destroying any horse gear.
• Change: Artifact Changes
  • Hammer of Magranon now uses Large Maul skill.
  • Sceptre of Ascension now uses Medium Maul skill.
  • The Hammers, and Warhammers skill will remain in the skill list and be recycled at a later time.

• Bugfix: Fixed the repair action on a paved highway bridge when having a pavement item activated.
• Bugfix: Calling guards from the creature right-click menu now uses the same text as calling guards from the guard tower right-click menu.
• Bugfix: Unfinished items that drop to the ground when finished will now drop at the proper location when placed on another item or inside a container, instead of vanishing mysteriously.
• Bugfix: Having a spyglass activated no longer prevents Get Info and Freeze from appearing in the menu when right-clicking a tile.
• Bugfix: Replacing a rune on a non-empty container is no longer blocked if both the rune being added and the rune being replaced have no impact on size or volume.
• Bugfix: Large planters will no longer decay on funded deeds, like other decorations.
• Bugfix: "Plant"/"Plant naturally" key bind now works on tile borders.
• Bugfix: A warning will be given when attempting to plant a hedge or flower bed where a hedge, flower bed, or fence already exists, instead of the materials being wasted.
• Bugfix: Stopped some light sources from reverting to their unlit model after being renamed.
• Bugfix: The pirate's hat can now be improved using Cloth Tailoring skill.
• Bugfix: Adding or removing a size rune from an item on the ground will now update its visual appearance immediately.
• Bugfix: Changes to an appearance due to changes of its colour or the additional or removal of a glow rune will now show immediately even if the item is placed on top of another item.
• Bugfix: "Dead" status indicator is now removed immediately after respawning.
• Bugfix: Fixed stacking behavior of Vynora's Insight effect from Wellspring of Knowledge. It will now add to the duration of the effect if it already exists, and set it to the new power level if it is higher.
• Bugfix: Corrected typo in examine text for normal cave exits.
• Bugfix: Corrected the weight of scrap material when creating a crude canoe, as well as the felled tree minimum weight in the crafting recipes list.
• Bugfix: Material weight has been added to the crafting recipes list in some cases where it was missing.
• Bugfix: Chat responses from tower guards are no longer doubled when calling for help in chat.
• Bugfix: Actually change kingdoms on PvP servers when swapping faith to a religion your kingdom does not support.
• Bugfix: Players will now properly keep faith when swapping faith to Libila and subsequently converting to HoTS on pvp servers.
• Bugfix: Planting an item on a tile corner bordering a village should now always place the item in a location considered within the village's borders. Note that this change does not apply to any items that have already been planted.
• Bugfix: Fixed very long item names getting shortened in some situations.

Client Changelog

• Change: Repetitive event messages sent within a short time frame of each other will now be condensed to prevent spam
  • In the event tab, if a new message is identical to the last message and was sent within 1 second of it, they will be condensed to one line with a counter. For example, if you try to drag a stack of 17 invalid items to a food storage bin, the event log would have one line reading "Only raw, unprocessed items can be stored in the food storage bin. (x17)".
  • If a new on-screen message is identical to an existing on-screen message, the existing message's timer will be reset instead of a new message being added, to prevent flooding the screen with identical messages.

• Bugfix: Fixed missing name of unpaved, unreinforced cave exits.
• Bugfix: Fixed flashing the wrong inventory items when moving slowly due to high inventory weight. It will now always highlight the heaviest item currently visible in your inventory window. The inventory itself, inventory groups, and body parts will be skipped if their contents are expanded, preferring to highlight their actual contents.
• Bugfix: Fixed "ALT: Details" text not appearing in item tooltips if the item can be repaired but there is no "default action" key binding to display for repairing.

• Bugfix: Corrected buggy pluralization grammar for some unfinished items, such as "the colossus needs" instead of "the colossus need".
• Bugfix: Harvesting crops from a field will no longer allow a player to go over their inventory weight or item count limits.

Update Post and Patch Notes 30-JUN-2023, and July's Monthly Skin!

Before listing the patch notes today, we wanted to take a moment and talk a bit about the changes and new things coming with this update.

The New Silver Shop

In the Silver Shop, you’ll now be able to purchase items from anywhere in the world and at any time that previously were available only by trading with Traders. You’ll also notice a few fun new ones! You can find the silver shop in the Menu Bar under the Shop tab. In the Skins tab, you'll find a rotation of previously released skins available for purchase again! The Services tab is where you’ll find Meditation and Deity changes and a one-time option for an extra hour of sleep bonus and an extra care slot for your critters. Please note that this is the same as buying them with Marks, and if you have already purchased them in that way you can not purchase them again. Traders already placed on a deed will remain as a testament to the game's history, and any existing discounts tied to your deeds will still be applicable. As we progress, items available in the shop will also include those that offer discounts on deeds, fostering an even playing field for new players. Traders will remain available for purchase until July 17th, so seize the opportunity to invest in the future of your deeds while you still can.

A Fresh New Look for the Website!

Today is also the release of our new website! We're working on freshening things up and bringing a brand new feel to our website. Please keep in mind that this is still a work in progress, and will have many more features in the future. Please also note that some of these images are placeholders and will likely change over the next few weeks as we settle down from this update.

What kind of features are we planning, you ask? Here's a few! We will be working on be adding a dedicated community page to the website showcasing player-generated content, statistics, high-scores, and more. This community hub will offer newcomers a glimpse into the vibrant world of Wurm Online. We're also developing a character dashboard to manage all your accounts from one place and share your character stats(opt-in). While these feature aren't quite ready, be on the lookout for them! We will provide dates a bit closer to their completion on when you can expect them to go live.

July's Monthly Skin!

We have been so busy behind the scenes preparing for this update, we ran late on releasing June's Monthly Skin and are going to skip right to releasing this one for July instead. We apologize for missing a month, and will make sure to keep up the schedule going forward.

July’s “Trusty Axe” skin gives your Small Axe a lovely leather wrapped handle detail! Available through the month of July in the Marks Shop at any settlement token, this skin can be applied to any Small Axe to give it a unique and fancy look!

A New Way to Redeem Keys

You'll now find an option under "Interface" to paste your key codes, making the process much easier!

Now Craftable: The Crude Canoe!

Meant to be an easier way of traveling around for newer players, though many older players may also find ways to make these easy-to-create boats useful!

All that is needed to create the canoe is an axe, a carving knife, and a wood source. Create the unfinished canoe using an axe on a felled tree, and then add an oar, two logs, and six pegs to complete it! These boats are meant to be short-term travel options though, and cannot be improved or repaired. Crude Canoes will always decay, even on deed.

Another Round of Clarification Messages!

Another slew of clarification messages is going in with this update, and it’s just as long as the first! From breeding animals to fueling furnaces, or practicing your archery to using spells and runes, messages in event will be even clearer. Some examples:

• When breeding: “The Young Bison doesn't seem to be in the mood right now: She is far too juvenile.” No need to wonder anymore whether age, hunger, or anything else is the problem.
• When fueling a furnace: “The forge is now burning as hot as it can get.” To prevent over fueling.
• When missing your target during archery: “The war arrow lands in the tall grass” or “The hunting arrow hits an overaged birch tree”. This may help find lost arrows.
• Fo’s “Refresh” spell is now “Second Wind” and will more clearly state its effect on the target; “You restore <Target name>'s stamina.”
• Glow runes will now specify whether they glow Faintly, Moderately, or Brightly rather than Slight, Okay, and Decent.

These are only a few examples. Check out the full list on the forums here:

Alchemy Cupboard Changes

Previously, Alchemy Cupboards only held 10 small pottery flasks for storing liquids... but now they’ll be able to hold a lot more!

• Flasks will become Measuring Flasks instead, with the ability to set their volume like a measuring jug (up to 5 liters) and the option to seal or unseal them freely without needing a peg or sealing kit.
• Basins can store 60 liters of of liquid and can be sealed with wax sealing kits
• Storage Cabinets can store any kind of bulk item (food and non-food) and can be locked (including quality locks being set), but they do have a much smaller capacity than a food or bulk storage bin.
• Existing alchemist's cupboards will automatically gain these additions without losing anything currently stored in them.

And Now... The Patch Notes!

• Bug fix: Meditation path advancement timers will now properly update their displayed skill level when you gain skill during a play session.
• Change: Changes to Holy Sites
  • Dogs have been added to the creature spawn pools for Magranon holy sites.
  • Donkeys have been added to the creature spawn pool for Magranon sand (obelisk) holy sites.
  • Holy sites can now spawn creatures over a wider area around the holy site than they could before.
  • Random holy site spawns can now include hostile creatures under more circumstances when they previously would not. Specifically, there is a chance to allow a hostile creature to be spawned if the spawn location is outside the boundary of the holy site itself, and has a greater chance with increasing distance from it.
  • Chance to get a map hint is now increased by your current Faith Bonus and altar rarity when praying or preaching, by the number of valid sermon listeners when preaching, and by rug rarity and meditation path level when meditating. Chance is also increased significantly if you are meditating on a special tile for your meditation path (this is not a new change, but may not have been adequately expressed in previous patch notes). This should result in hints being a bit more common going
• Bug fix: Corrected very large material weights showing incorrectly in the crafting recipes list.
• Bugfix: Tunneling will now correctly check for side shafts
• Bugfix: Fixed an issue where it would sometimes tell you about having left and rejoined freedom isles influence when resizing villages.
• New: You may now redeem game keys from an option on the Interface menu dropdown.
• New: Early Game Boat - The Crude Canoe!
  • This type of boat is very easy to create, and can be crafted in the wild using nothing more than any axe or saw, a carving knife, and a source of wood.
  • To create, start by using any kind of axe, hatchet, or saw on a felled tree (TODO: weight), then add an oar, two logs, and six pegs.
  • To aid in this, oars can now be created using a carving knife.
  • Crude canoes travel a bit more slowly than a small rowing boat, and cannot hold any cargo.
  • As they are intended for short-term use and are simple to create, crude canoes cannot be improved or repaired, and will always decay, even on deed.
  • Unlike other vehicles, crude canoes do not need to be over 10 QL to function.
  • Decay will not destroy a crude canoe while it is being piloted, but the extreme damage will cause a minor decrease in its speed.
  • Crude canoes can have up to 1 passenger in addition to the captain.
• Change: Alchemist's cupboards have been significantly improved:
  • Vials have been renamed to "measuring flasks", can have their volume set like measuring jugs (up to a maximum of 5 liters), and can be freely sealed or unsealed without needing a peg or sealing kit.
  • Each alchemist's cupboard now contains two basins and four storage cabinets.
  • Each basin can store 60 liters of liquid and can be sealed using a wax sealing kit.
  • Each storage cabinet can store any kind of bulk item (food or non-food), and can be locked and have a quality lock set, but also has much smaller capacity than a food storage bin or bulk storage bin.
  • Existing alchemist's cupboards will automatically gain these additions without losing anything currently stored in them.
• Change: Containers with adjustable volume can now have their volume set with liquids inside, as long as the volume being set could still hold all that liquid.
• Change: Many warning, error, and other messages changed for the sake of clarity:
  • Color, glow, farming, enchant success, and spell rune effect descriptions.
  • Failure messages when hitching or unhitching creatures
  • Failure messages when attempting to move or drop items that cannot be dropped
  • Failure message when attempting to install a stone or metal mine door without enough Mining skill
  • Failure messages when moving items into the wrong type of bulk container
  • Failure messages when attempting to give a creature items it cannot equip
  • Unclear or missing messages in archery, especially when arrows or thrown objects miss their targets or break.
  • Messages when a creature is not in the mood to breed, with specific reasons given if Animal Husbandry skill is at least 15
  • Failure message when casting a spell that still has a cooldown timer active (the time given is now more precise)
• New: Crafting success chance is now given under more circumstances, not just creating a new item:
  • Continuing an unfinished item
  • Creating a healing cover (requires 30 Natural Substances skill)
  • Creating transmutation liquid
  • Continuing a fence
  • Success chance is now shown when hovering over the "Create" or "Continue" button with the mouse in the crafting window, whenever crafting is possible but a chance for failure is present.
• Change: Some minor quality-of-life improvements have been made to the process of creating transmutation liquid:
  • You can now activate the liquid or its container and right-click the solid or its container, rather than having to specifically activate the liquid and right-click the solid's container.
  • If the solid is not in a pottery amphora, attempting to mix the ingredients will give an appropriate failure message, instead of the option not appearing at all in the right-click menu.
  • You can now create transmutation liquid even if one of the containers is on the ground, as long as you could carry any weight that would be added to your inventory.
  • You can now create transmutation liquid inside large amphoras in addition to small amphoras.
• Change: The spell "Refresh" has been renamed to "Second Wind" in order to differentiate it from the Path of Love "Refresh" ability. The spell itself has not been changed, only the name.
• Bug fix: Unexpected destruction of a creature cage will now cause the creature to escape properly instead of getting stuck in limbo.
• Bug fix: Loading a creature into a creature cage is now blocked if the cage is above 80 damage, since that amount of damage would cause the creature to be dumped back out anyway.
• Bug fix: Corrected some messages shown when dragging items from a creature (or saddle bags) to a container and failing.
• Bug fix: Erroneous "too unruly" message is no longer given when trying to drag items to saddle bags that contain too many items already.
• Bug fix: Fixed bee smokers sometimes not allowing you to add more fuel even if there was some space left for more.
• New: Dragging equipment to empty space in the creature's equipment window will now attempt to automatically equip it to the right body slot, as if you had dragged it to the creature itself.
• Change: Branded creatures may now be renamed by anyone with both "Manage Item" permissions for the creature and "Brand" permissions in the village, not just the village mayor.
• New: Combat wound messages are now shown to players near the defender as well as creatures near the attacker.
• Change: Changed small metal shield name, so it will read, for example, "small iron shield" instead of "small iron metal shield".
• Bugfix: Running custom timers will now resume with the appropriate time remaining after quitting the game and launching it again later.
  • For example, if you have a custom timer running with 8 minutes remaining when you quit the game, then log in again 5 minutes later, the timer will start running automatically with 3 minutes remaining.
• New: Adding fuel to a furnace, lamp, bee smoker, or anything else that burns fuel, will now send a message if it has been brought to maximum fuel capacity or temperature.
  • This message is given to everyone in the immediate vicinity of the item, unless it is being held in a player's inventory, in which case only they will see the message.
• Change: Descriptions given when examining burning fires have been improved:
  • Normal temperature descriptions such as "searing hot" have been removed, since for fires they are redundant.
  • Two additional descriptions have been added for when a fire is at extremely high temperatures, at thresholds where the fire is hot enough for items inside to reach "glowing brightly" and "glowing white-hot" respectively.
  • At over 20 Firemaking skill, an estimate of how long a furnace will continue burning is given. More information, and more precise times, are given at higher skill levels. Note that these are only estimates, as many factors influence how long a fire will burn. This applies to ovens, forges, kilns, smelters, campfires, and stills.
• Change: Dragging small carts, vehicles, or other items is now a bit more convenient:
  • The amount of weight you are carrying on your body/inventory no longer contributes excessively to stamina loss when dragging things.
  • Stamina loss now properly calculates the weight of bulk items stored inside the item being dragged.
  • Movement speed is now a bit faster than before when dragging small carts, crude canoes, and rafts, and a bit slower than before when dragging large ships (corbitas, cogs, knarrs, and caravels).
  • Movement speed penalties from dragging (and some other sources) now stack with movement penalties from carried weight in a far less punishing manner.
  • Crude canoes, small rowing boats, and small sailing boats can now be dragged over land at any height, but with a penalty to speed, and a significant penalty to stamina drain from any weight stored in the boat.
  • Creating items from a felled tree can now be done when the felled tree is on the ground.
  • If either the item or the scrap created with it cannot fit into your inventory due to weight or item count limits, it will drop to the ground instead.
  • Creating items from the felled tree will be prevented if you do not have appropriate permission to pick up the tree.
• Change: Medium axes and axe heads have been renamed again, this time to "large axe" and "large axe head", to be consistent with the skill the weapon uses, and their descriptions have been changed to reflect this.
• Change: Black ink can no longer be drunk. While cephalopod ink is perfectly edible in real life, the potential to misclick and accidentally chug your ink when attempting to fill your pen was simply too high.

Patch Notes 23-MAY-2023

Server Changelog

• Bugfix: Meditation and faith gain counters in the new server-controlled timers now properly show how many you have left instead of how many you’ve already done.
  • The meditation path advancement timer is now more clear in its name and hover description about whether or not you have enough skill to advance to a new path level.
• Bugfix: Meditation cooldown will reset correctly when a new day starts.
• Bugfix: Temperature state text in item hover descriptions has been improved and should no longer overlap other text.
• Bugfix: Priests can now quench hot items.

• Bugfix: Missions will no longer sometimes show an incorrect amount of karma rewarded for participation following a server reboot.
• Bugfix: Progress toward the “Hold 100 Sermons” journal goal has been fixed.
• Change: The new quality lock system has been improved: If a maximum quality is set, only items under that quality will be allowed, instead of items equal to or under that quality. For example, if a container is set with a minimum of 90QL and a maximum of 100QL, 100QL items will no longer be allowed. This change should allow you to set proper ranges on multiple bins without having to worry about any accidental overlap, especially with 100QL items.
  • Text has been changed in several areas to make this change clear.
  • You may wish to double-check your existing quality-locked containers in order to make sure their settings reflect what you want after these changes.

• Bugfix: Duplicate sizes in missions and some other places have been fixed, such as “small small mauls” or “large large anvils”.
• Change: Quality locks on bulk containers have been significantly improved:
  • You can now set minimum allowed quality in the container, the maximum, or both, by right-clicking the container, then clicking “Permissions” followed by “Set Quality Lock”.
  • The highest minimum quality you can set is now determined by the quality level of the lock, rounded up to the nearest whole number. Previously, the lock quality was rounded down.
  • Maximum quality allowed in the container is not restricted and can be any whole number up to (and including) 100.
  • Existing quality locked containers will keep their current minimum quality when being switched to this new system.
• Change: Items can now be smelted at any temperature at or above “glowing hot” instead of an unlabeled temperature above that threshold, and a message is now sent to the event tab when you smelt an item. The option will also appear in the right-click menu regardless of temperature.
• Change: Items now have two more temperature categories beyond “glowing” in order to make it more clear when items are at a very high temperature. Instead of simply “glowing”, items can now be “glowing dimly”, “glowing brightly”, or, when near maximum temperature, “glowing white-hot”.
• New: Added the ability to quench hot items in liquid to cool them down.
• New: A new item, the Large pantry cupboard, has been added to make storing your food ingredients easier!
  • This functions similarly to the bulk container unit, but for food. It contains four pantry shelves, each of which is equivalent to a food storage bin.

Server Changelog

• Bug fix: Wax sealing kits now have their quality and damage set properly when a container is unsealed.
• Bug fix: Placing a smaller item on a larger item (such as an anvil), then picking up the larger item, will no longer cause the smaller item to appear to be on the ground again if a change is made to it while in your inventory, such as cooling down or being renamed.
• Bugfix: Dyeable carpets now show “dye trim” as the option for dyeing the secondary part of the carpet. Which part of the carpet is the base and which is the trim has also been fixed for large flower carpets, small colourful carpets, and large colourful carpets.

Patch Notes 28-MAR-2023

Server Changelog

• Bugfix: Birchwood archaeology fragments will now convert to wood fragments on attempt to combine them. This will allow use of the legacy birchwood frags.

• Holy site backlash creature spawns now have “vengeful” added to their name, for the sake of clarity.
• Fo holy sites now spawn creatures twice as often as other holy sites. This only affects normal timed creature spawns, not creatures spawned due to backlash effects.
• Holy site spawning should now heavily prioritize whichever type of holy site does not exist on that server for that particular deity. For example, if a Fo holy site is being spawned, and a Sampo exists on the server but not a Wishing Tree, it will be extremely unlikely to spawn a second Sampo, and extremely likely to spawn a Wishing Tree instead.
• Event tab messages from holy site pulse and expiration will now be alert colored instead of normal colored.

Patch Notes 07-MAR-2023 and Holy Site release

The time has finally come and Holy Sites are beginning to make appearances across the lands of Wurm! Starting today, you will find sacred shrines dedicated to the gods scattered throughout the world, with their locations revealed through visions triggered by the prayers of faithful Wurmians. To make sure you all get to jump right in and experience this exciting new feature, we will be increasing the spawn rates of Holy Sites, meaning one site for each deity should be up throughout the majority of March on every server.

Along with Holy Sites going live today, we have several Quality of Life changes and some new and improved carpets for everyone to dig into today. All existing carpets have been updated to support dyeing them different colours, and we didn’t stop there! You can dye them 2 separate colours, a main and a detail colour, to allow deep customization of any carpet you like. On top of updating the 3 existing carpets to support this new function, we have 3 new carpets being released with this update, increasing your design options to include 6 carpets total of various sizes and styles! With so many choices of color and style, are you worried about where you’re going to fit all these carpets? Worry no more! Carpets will now be place-able on walls, bringing even more decorative options to colorize your cozy interiors.

In PvP news, Defiance will begin having PMK’s enabled within the next few days, and the nerf to the Break Altar spell will be removed. These changes will have their own dedicated post once everything is configured and ready to go for the Player Made Kingdoms launch on Defiance!

• New: Creatures can now be fed and tamed by activating a container with the food inside of it, similar to planting and sowing from containers. This will, for example, allow you to queue up multiple taming actions using the same container with multiple food items inside it.
• New: You can now dye carpets, with two colour zones (main and details) for greater customization! New carpets made after this update will now come out as white, and existing carpets have been dyed to retain the colours they had before this update (including carpets with colour runes). Added 3 new carpets along with the update to the existing 3, and these are crafted using the loom the same way old carpets are.

Client Changelog

• New: Added a “Find in Recipes” button to right click menu on items.

090223Patch Notes 09-FEB-2023

We wanted to go over a few things along with today’s patch notes. First off, we will be releasing the Holy Sites testing again to give it a real testing period (unlike the first which was right around the holidays). We apologize for the delay, but it will be ready for testing again tomorrow followed by a release after gathering more feedback. Defiance PMK’s are being held back along with it while we consider some changes there as well.

On the second topic for today, due to changes with the Twitter API, we will be introducing a Discord replacement. To add this select Discord Settings on your token and add in the requested webhook information, these are the first and second part of the link given when creating the webhook..

As a temporary replacement for server feeds should twitter go down, you will now find an active list of the last 50 server messages at the link below for each server. This is more intended to be a temporary solution for the maintainers of tools used by the community that track these so they will be able to continue working until we have a more permanent solution should the twitter feed stop functioning.

Information on making webhooks for your server:

Intro to Webhooks
Independence Feed Example:
