Happy Anniversary!

• Premium character can investigate on a tile during the week of the anniversary to get a “special fragment”.
• Find 3 and identify them all before combining to get one of a few different gifts for Wurm’s Anniversary.
• Chance to get a special fragment is 1/15 upon finding any other fragment.
• Once combined, players won’t be able to combine another, or find any more special fragments.
• Finding and combining these special fragments is available only during Wurm’s Anniversary week which will start at midnight on the 6th of June and end at midnight on the 13th.

Changes and Additions:

Archaeology changes:

• Archaeology items can now be found in all metal types:
  • If you investigate and find a metal fragment that is NOT ore or a lump, it’ll get the “metal” material.
  • If the fragment you found would have had the steel material (instead of iron), it’ll get the “alloy” material instead.
  • Any existing iron fragments can be combined with metal fragments (they will be converted to “metal” material when you start the combine action.
  • Same deal with steel and alloy fragments.
  • When you complete an item from fragments of the metal material, the final item will have a chance to become any base metal type (iron, tin, lead, gold, silver, copper, zinc) depending on how well identified the fragments were – heavily weighted towards iron.
  • When you complete an item from fragments of the alloy material, the final item will have a chance to become any alloy metal type (steel, brass, bronze) depending on how well identified the fragments were – heavily weighted towards steel.
  • If alloy fragments are extremely well identified, upon combining they will have a small chance to come out as a moonmetal (seryll, glimmersteel, adamantine) – though steel is more likely again.
  • “metal” material fragments can only be combined with other “metal” fragments, and “alloy” material fragments can only be combined with other “alloy” fragments.
• New:  You can now create an archaeological journal to help record your investigations. ( Special thanks to Wurm Unlimited modder Bdew for some ideas in implementing this!)
  • Add report pages to the journal by activating paper or papyrus sheets and right clicking on the journal – Add report.
  • 22 reports will fit into the journal.
  • Data will be added to your reports as you investigate and gather information.
