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!

And now, for the patch notes!

Server Changelog

  • Bugfix: Wrong resources showing in event message when digging with a full inventory.
  • Bugfix: Siege Weapons will no longer lose their loaded ammo between server restarts.
  • Change: Successful actions on  Moments of Inspiration when combining archaeology fragments will now always make them rare regardless of how many fragments are already attached.
  • Change: Removed Break Altar nerf on all pvp servers.
  • New: You can now right click the window header to save default size/location of the window, new inventory windows(windows containing items) that don’t have a historical location saved will use that new default. Window sizes/locations now save more often and not just on closing/logging out.
  • 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.
    • Searches based on using that item as a material in the recipe, not the recipe for that item.
  • Change: Unnecessary columns have been removed to make the mission window smaller.

  • Bugfix: Fixed attempting to paste some emojis, then clicking, causing a crash.
  • Bugfix: Removed some information from corners and borders of tiles.
    • Hovering over tile corners will no longer slow slope information.
    • Hovering over tile corners and tile borders will no longer show grass height information.
  • Bugfix: Planting flowers in a flowerpot or marble planter will now leave the container where it is, instead of moving it to the player’s inventory.
  • Bugfix: Planting things in a marble planter, flowerpot, or pottery planter will now retain more data of the original empty item, including any enchantments, runes, or custom colour.
  • Bugfix: Fixed difficulty when picking cocoa or coffee from pottery planters.
  • Bugfix: Items that are lighter than normal can no longer be planted in pottery planters, and items that are heavier than normal (such as combined items) will only remove the required amount of weight when planted, not the entire item.
  • Bugfix: Rope tools now count as “tools” for item improvement achievements. This change applies to all rope tools, including those that existed prior to this update.
  • Bugfix: Fixed a bug where some bulk items, and items with all of their enchantments dispelled, would be prevented from selling to token, discarding, or burning.
  • Bugfix: Birdcages will now be brass when created and pre-existing Birdcages will be reverted back to brass.
  • Bugfix: Mules can no longer receive the “chance to produce twins” trait, as they cannot produce offspring at all.
  • Bugfix: Missions to create altars will now specify the type of altar needed.
  • Bugfix: The scale of Libila use effect now has a 4 hour cool down.
  • Bugfix:  Fixed phobia mode models when placing.

  • Change: Reduced the house planning calculation by 5 to make the first tile of a house free.
  • Change: The burn warning for placing items on something that will damage them is now an alert and will be a different colour in the event tab.
  • Change: Death message for a creature dying of disease or starvation now varies depending on the creature’s body type, and has improved grammar.
  • Change: Many soft or pliable items (such as pelts, leather, and many cloth items) no longer check the specific dimensions of the container they are placed in. In other words, the container must still have enough volume for these items, but simply being too large in one direction will no longer cause them not to fit. This means that some items may fit in containers they did not fit in before, such as colourful carpets fitting inside large carts, and pelts fitting inside small chests.
  • Change: The burn warning for placing items on something that will damage them is now an alert and will be a different colour in the event tab.
  • Change: Sound options in the settings can now all be changed while the game is running.
  • New: Double-clicking the spell effects icon bar will now toggle the spell effects window on or off.
  • New:Players can now empty marble planters, flowerpots, and pottery planters by activating a shovel or trowel, right-clicking the item, and clicking “Empty”.
    • Emptying a flowerpot or marble planter will put the appropriate type of flower bouquet into the player’s inventory. For flowers planted after this change, the quality and damage of the flowers will be based on the quality and damage of the flowers used to plant it. For flowers planted before this change, the resulting flower will be 70QL.
  • Change: The following actions can now be performed with an activated container containing the appropriate items, without having to activate the item itself. For example, you may now queue multiple sowing actions using a satchel containing seeds. This will allow you to fill your entire action queue without having to change toolbelt slots or activate different items in between actions.
    • Each action will use the first valid item found inside the container. Items inside sub-containers (such as a seed inside a satchel inside a backpack) can be used, but items directly inside the activated container are given preference. The full list of supported actions is as follows:

    • Planting hedges on tile borders
    • Planting flowers, grass, thatch, or reed on tiles
      • Planting things in pottery planters. To make this easier, selecting a toolbelt slot with a container will now, by default, activate the container instead of the first item found inside. This behaviour can be toggled on demand; clicking the same toolbelt slot again (or pressing the appropriate key binding, if any) will switch between activating the container and activating the item inside like before. This preference is set per toolbelt slot and is saved with the toolbelt arrangement.

Treasure Hunts: (Please note the “Old UI” client will not support treasure hunts)

  • Players will have a chance to find treasure maps during rare rolls on the following actions:
    • Farming/Harvesting
    • Botanize/Forage Actions
    • Digging
    • Mining
    • Investigating Archeology Sites
    • Fishing/Dredging

      • Will be between 2-3 steps long
      • Will have very small combat challenges occasionally.
      • Will not be terribly far from the locations they are found.
    • Challenging(1/10 chance on rare roll, supreme rolls will always give one)(30-59ql)
      • Can be 3-5 steps long
      • Will have decent sized and not infrequent combat challenges.
      • Will be a moderate distance from the locations they are found.
    • Difficult(1/25 chance on rare roll, fantastic rolls will always give one)(60 – 100ql)
      • Can be 4-6 steps long
      • Will always have difficult creatures to kill for most every step
      • Will be long distances away from the locations they are found.
  • There are several different clue types to help you find your treasure!
    • Map clue: Shows a map with a location you must go to, will not be super close to villages or in an enclosed area.
      • Right clicking the map and selecting the hint option will draw a circle on your ingame map with a general area to search, the area gets larger on harder clues.
    • Deed Ruins clue: Works similar to the maps but will be focused on areas that past villages have existed.
      • Right clicking the map and selecting the hint option will draw a circle on your ingame map with a general area to search, the area gets larger on harder clues.
      • Will mark nearby disbanded villages on the map as well as the area to dig.
    • Challenge clue: will give an area and some information about an item from a list of items to find.
      • Any guard tower that are not enclosed or near or in a village
      • Colossus that are not enclosed or near or in a village
      • Mission Constructed items that are not in caves/enclosed or near villages.
      • Will mention what map grid it is near, this becomes less precise the more difficult it is.
    • Combat Challenges: when you try to dig up a location you may come across some creatures ambushing you which you must defeat before you can continue digging it up.
      • Will go into hiding again after 45 minutes if not yet killed until you come and dig again, then the same remaining creatures will ambush you again.
      • Creatures from this will drop no corpses but will give skill for fighting.
  • Digging up treasures!
    • Use a shovel on the ground and select the dig up treasure option which will check if any clues you have on you are at your location.
    • Has some grace distance, you do not need to dig on the exact tile/item it picks just near it. This grace distance is even larger the easier the clue is.

Journal update:

Various changes and expansions have been made to the Journal system:

  • Several new journal tiers related to skills and groups of skills have been added, targeted toward newer  players just starting to learn and use those skills. These can be unlocked by reaching 20 in a relevant skill, comprise goals related to those skills, and reward 2 hours of sleep bonus and a new title when completed.
  • Two new journal tiers related to treasure hunting have been added. Both tiers will be available and visible to all characters with an active premium subscription:
    • “Hunting for Clues”: Involves actions that can find treasure maps, and rewards you with a bonus treasure hunt map as well as 1 hour of sleep bonus and a new title.
    • “Hunting for Treasure”: Involves finding treasures, and rewards you with a random high-tier treasure hunt prize as well as 1 hour of sleep bonus and a new title.
  • The Journal system now supports journal tiers requiring less than 100% of their goals to be completed in order for the tier itself to be completed. This is to add some flexibility to the system and account for a wider variety of play styles.
    • This change applies to all new and existing journal tiers.
    • Existing journal tiers have had one goal added per tier, and now allow you to skip one goal of your choice and still complete that tier.
    • The number of goals required in a tier can be viewed by hovering the mouse cursor over the tier in the Journal window.
  • Instead of instantly granting you the reward on your current server/cluster, completing a journal tier will now unlock a “Claim” button you can use to receive the reward at the time and place of your choosing.

Graphics Profiles and UI Changes:

The settings windows (both the launcher and in-game versions) have been shuffled around to a new layout to support the addition of graphics profiles available on the Graphics tab.

  • There are 5 new graphics profiles that will change settings that impact performance so you don’t have to. These profiles include Minimum, Low, Medium, High and Maximum. The final choice in this option is Custom, which will enable the Custom Graphics tab to change any performance-related settings manually.
    • There are some settings that are changed within these profiles that will require a client restart before taking effect, but since the majority do not you are able to change your graphics profile while the client is running for an immediate change.
    • Selecting these profiles does not change your custom settings at all, so you will be able to switch from Custom to one of the profiles and back with no lost settings.
    • Existing players will default to the Custom profile, while new players will default to the Medium profile.
  • UI Buffer:
    • The majority of UI elements have been shifted to buffered rendering, meaning that they will no longer update every frame, instead only when changed.
    • In addition to this, there is a new setting in the Custom Graphics tab to allow limiting the FPS of the UI independently of the normal game FPS.
    • Enabling this setting should increase overall FPS in most cases, with the downside of the UI feeling less smooth the lower the UI FPS limit is set.
    • Some windows (particularly animated ones) are excluded from this buffer and will update at the normal game FPS.
  • Other Changes:
    • Text rendering should be slightly faster.
    • Disabling reflections and animations will now properly disable them.
    • The in-game browser will no longer load in the background if the Wurmpedia setting is disabled.
    • Terrain detail and tile decoration settings are now editable while in-game.
    • Fixed the hitbox of the hide button on the Main Menu.
    • Added an option to the User Interface settings to hide filters in inventory windows.
    • Added an option to the User Interface settings to keep the fight window disabled in combat.
    • Fixed a sizing issue with clicking through the invisible part of window headings.
    • Fixed item icons in inventories not scaling up properly with UI scale.

  • New:  Level 100 Archaeology title added
  • Change: The first month 2 silver premium option has been removed. New first-time packages will appear in the shop soon instead.
    • Since its inception the 2 silver introductory offer has not served the purpose it was originally designed to do, allow new players to fund their first premium time within the game. After reviewing the information regarding first time purchasers and alts, we have decided to remove this option.
    • In the coming days we will be adding new first time packages of premium, 2 months for €7.99 or 2 months and 5 silver for €11.99 as replacement introductory offers.
    • With this we will be also beginning to phase out the existing referral system, with ingame purchases as well as the new introductory offers via the shop no longer giving a referral.

  • New:  A guaranteed creation result (no fail) has been assigned to low difficulty mass production bulk items.
    • For mass production bulk items below a certain difficulty, the item will be created even on failure, and will never be created with a QL lower than either 20 or the player’s skill, whichever is lower. Material QL cap still applies.

      • Corrected PoK death protection description, as it does protect fighting-related skills, just not Fighting
      • Clarifications:
      • Clarified PoL healing (previous description made it sound like your natural regen is 1.5 times as fast, which is wrong or at least very misleading)
      • Clarified Goat Shape affecting climbing ability, not the skill itself (this is also in line with the spell description itself)
      • Clarified confusing phrasing on stamina ring effect description
      • Added “for new players” to all newbie buffs, previously only on one of them, for more clarity to newbies
      • Added specific numbers for sorcery damage reduction buffs, since the damage increase debuffs had them and this info is already public.
