Settlement:Holmgard

Just as the historic Holmgard served as the gateway for Varengian Vikings traveling east through Gardariki and to the riches of Miklagard, the Holmgard deed on Release server aims to help new players learn to survive (and strive) in the world of Wurm. The deed is not a "university", but rather a collection of services that are helpful to new players

The deed is located a bit South of Sloping Sands (the starting point), on the south side of the hill with the Kingdom deed. If you head directly south from Sloping Sands, turn right (West) after you see the guard tower. If you walk past the market, follow the wide highway the a well named Troll Yellow Water, and the continue south.

The deed currently has:

• Mine: iron vein and a forge. Use them to make yourself a small anvil and other tools and supplies and supplies
• Oven for cooking food.
• A templar for protection, plus a few tower guards nearby.
• Clay just west of the deed, for making bowls and flasks
• Sloping Sands spawn point and market nearby

Deed allows you to :

• Pickup items. So you do not have to worry about dropping your stuff.
• Hunt and butcher. Lure mobs onto the deed and the templar will tank them for you. It templar is busy or dead, type "help" in Local chat - tower guards will attack your target.
• Forage and botanize, to get food and healing.
• Mine ore (but not rock)

Here are a few rules:

• Feel free to take materials, foods, and simple tools if there are left laying around.
  • Do NOT take the Large Anvil from the mine. It is heavy, it is low quality, and you can make one using just 10kg iron and a small anvil
• Keep area around the deed as it is:
  • Cut only Very Old and Overaged trees - they will give you more logs, and more skill. Try to replant trees if you know how.
  • Do not destroy grass through digging or dropping sand. If you want to practice digging, dig and drop dirt in a single spot.

And a few other ideas for what you can do:

• You can drop your tent outside of the deed, both to securely store your belongings, and respawn.
• You can sell unwanted items to the deed token to raise a bit of money. Common sells are corpses (after you remove the butchered items), since they are QL100 you get you 11 iron.
• There is empty land W, NW, E, and NE of the deed.
