Decay

Main / Decay

Description

Decay is what happens to items and walls over time. There are several ways to reduce it.

Deeds decrease decay on walls of any kind by 10x, if the upkeep is higher then 7 days.
Deeds stop the decay on walls of any kind if the upkeep is higher then 30 days.
Kingdoms reduce wall decay by 2x.
Non-kingdom zones have no reduced decay.
Normal decay will rot a 20 quality house wall in 1 month.
Containers will reduce decay by 2x.
Items made out of cedar wood decay slower. Containers made out of cedar do not reduce the decay of it's contents any more then a normal container would.
Pottery reduces decay by about x1.5, depending on the quality.
Backpacks (leather containers in general?) reportedly have a slight reduction on decay of items in them. (So less than pottery?).
Stacking a container inside another container does not help. Neither do containers in the inventory.
- Except: It is suggested that stacking a container inside another container reduces the decay rate of the (inner) container. Which might be useful.
- Also except: It is suggested that if you put an item inside multiple containers (stacked containers), the highest QL container affects the decay rate of the item.
Houses reduce item decay
Raw materials decay faster then finished materials. (Raw materials being logs, rocks etc., finished materials being weapons, tools etc.)
There is a 2 day period of no decay after a wall is finished.
