Danar: /* Examine details */ Updated farming tooltip level to 30 (The tooltip displaying at 15 skill is listed as a bug)

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==

The '''farming''' [[skill]] covers tending [[field]]s, sowing and [[harvest]]ing the crops. Crops can take several [[day]]s to grow, during which a farmer should farm the field [[tile]]s to remove weeds. This will improve the harvest. [[Quality]] and amount of the harvest increases when you have a high farming skill. Quality of the [[seed]] also effects the growth time of the fields.

The seeds needed to start farming can be found while [[botanizing]] or from harvesting the crops. Harvested [[cotton]], [[wemp]] and [[pumpkin]] must be picked to recover seeds for replanting.

Crops can be harvested at any time after the first growth level, but harvesting too early or too late results in zero return. When a field reaches optimal height it will be the same height as a [[small barrel]], no taller, no shorter. The colour of the field is also possible marker, as it changes to a yellowish-green or golden when ripe.

The [[maximum slope]] on which you can sow seeds is 8; attempting to sow seeds on a greater slope results in a message "The ground is not flat enough for crops to grow. You need to flatten it first". The slope '''does''' appear to effect growth speed, but crop quality is unknown.

Sowing on a sloped tile takes into account its compound slope, however. That is, it's slope both North-South (NS) and East-West (EW). For example, the slope can be level EW and 8-steep NS. Or 4-steep EW, 4-steep NS etc.

== Examine details ==

Anyone can verify if a field needs tending. "The crops grow steadily" means the field is in order, while "It could use a touch from the rake or some other farming tool" means it must be tidied with a [[rake]]. If the description mentions "rotting old weeds", the field is overgrown and can no longer be harvested.

Level 10 farmers can determine which type of crop is growing in a field, except at the lowest growth level ("freshly sown").

Players with a farming skill of 30 or more can determine when a field is ready to harvest by activating a farming tool. The growth status of nearby tiles can be seen in the tool-tip when hovering over the tile.

The stages displayed (in order) are:
# Freshly sown
# Sprouting
# Growing
# Halfway
# Almost ripe
# Ripe
# Only weeds

Level 20 farmers can determine the growth level of a field. The levels are, chronologically sorted:

# You see a patch of freshly sown field.
# A few green blades pop out of the ground.
# Small sprouts with many blades grow here.
# The sprouts are growing, a bit above half their mature height.
# The field is almost at full height.
# '''The field is at full height and ready to harvest!'''
# '''The field is at full height and ready to harvest!''' (Used to be: The field is overaged, and some crop has been ruined.)
# (rotten old weeds, crops completely ruined)

Level 60 farmers can determine the number of items they will get after a harvest when they examine the field. It should be noticed however that the number it shows it not very accurate but more of a minimum since luck and other factors change the final number.

== Tools ==

* [[Rake]] for farming
* [[Scythe]] for harvesting [[wheat]], [[barley]], [[oat]] and [[rye]]
* [[Small barrel]] to indicate perfect harvesting time; the crops will be the same height, or slightly higher than a small barrel when ready to harvest.

== Farming Products ==

* [[Barley]]
* [[Corn]]
* [[Cotton]]
* [[Garlic]]
* [[Oat]]
* [[Onion]]
* [[Potato]]
* [[Pumpkin]]
* [[Rye]]
* [[Wemp]]
* [[Wheat]]

Talk:Peat

2009-11-19T01:07:10Z

Danar: Estimated size of peat

Only 45 peat fits in a coffin.

Based on that, size of peat is estimated to be:

10.869565217391304347826086956522 - 11.11111111...

11 L sounds like a good estimate.

Meditating

2009-11-11T06:49:20Z

Danar: Added Knowledge 6th Title

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''

== Meditation ==
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.

== Paths ==

=== Starting and Following a Path ===

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be the Path of Honor.

To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.

Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.

The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.

For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].

You start meditating.

'''Failed attempt'''
*You fail to relax.

'''Others'''
*You recently meditated here and need to find new insights somewhere else.

Drown

Danar: Drowning wounds don't heal in the water

{{stub}}
When a player reaches zero [[stamina]] while swimming (on [[Water tiles|water tile]]s) they will begin to drown. Drowning will incur a [[Wound:Light|light wound]] at random intervals upon the player's stomach while they continue to swim with zero stamina.

Drowning damage is only incurred while the player is moving, standing still in water does not cause drowning wounds.

Drowning wounds are untreatable, but they always disappear after a brief rest on land, regardless of [[Wounds|wound severity]]. Note that drowning wounds do not heal while in the water, and bad/severe wounds will get worse over time if you are stuck in the water.

Currently, drowning damage is listed as fire damage. This will probably change in the future.

Stone slabs

Danar: /* Destroying Stone slabs */ Changed Body Strength

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Terrain|Terrain]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

{{terrain
|name=Stone slabs
|speed=17.3 km/h
|type=[[Pave]]ment
|playermade=Yes
|underground=No
|creation=Player made by paving [[packed dirt]] with [[slab|stone slabs]]
|material=dirt
|method=dig
}}

Walking on Stone slabs is the fastest way of travelling (up to 17.3Km/h). Stone slabs can only be removed or terraformed by a player with a premium account. Stone slabs are usually very flat, much more so than normal grass tiles or even that of cobblestone. Paving with slabs is fairly difficult compared to other pavements due to the simple fact that it requires slabs. For these reasons, only roads of the highest quality, decorative tiles, flooring of structures, and courtyards are usually made of slabs.

Slab tiles have a chance of decaying if they are not walked upon for 2 days.

== Making Stone slabs ==
# Activate a [[slab]]
# Right-click a tile of [[packed dirt]] and select ''[[paving|Pave]]''.

== Destroying Stone slabs ==
# Activate a [[shovel]]
# Right-click a tile of stone slabs and select ''Destroy Pavement''.

'''Note:''' 20 body strength is needed to destroy stone slabs.

== Alternatives ==

Alternative pavements include [[gravel]] and [[cobblestone]].

Paving

2009-10-27T05:09:28Z

Danar: /* Method */ Changed body strength

[[CDB | Main]] / [[:Category:Skills | Skills]] / [[Paving]]

== Description ==
Paving is the skill needed to pave dirt for faster travel.

Road construction is very important in Wurm, it lets you go places - fast. On a paved road you can reach speeds up to 17.31km/h compared to the 11km/h on grass and less then half of that on sand. That in combination with finding your way around (which many seem to have trouble with in Wurm) makes it pretty obvious that roads are a good thing to have.

== Items required ==

* [[Rock Shards]] for making [[Terrain:Gravel|Gravel]]
* [[Stone Brick]] for making [[Terrain:Cobblestone|Cobblestone]]
* [[Slab]] for making [[Terrain:Stone slabs|Stone slabs]]
* [[Floor boards]] for making [[Terrain:Wooden planks|Wooden planks]]

== Method ==

Paving is done on [[Terrain:Packed dirt|Packed dirt]]. Simply activate the item you want to pave with, right-click the tile and choose 'pave'.

Paved tiles can be converted back to [[Terrain:Dirt|Dirt]] by equiping a shovel and choosing 'destroy pavement'. [[Vynora]] frowns upon such actions, however. [[Body strength]] of 20 is needed for destroying pavement.

== Levelling ==

To make a road level to walk on (so does not slope to one side), stand on the higher of the two sides and examine the tile border that crosses the road to the lower side. You will need to do some combination of [[digging]] the higher side and dropping dirt on the lower side to bring this to "this slope is level".

In normal grassy areas, it may be possible to simply choose '[[flattening|flatten]]' on each tile as you walk along the road, but this often does not work because of rock, uneven numbers of dirt, lack of dirt in your inventory or low digging skill. A player with a higher [[digging]] skill may also flatten paved tiles of any type provided they're not too close to a building / wall or on deeded land where they do not have permission. The dig & dump method however will always work, unless there is a fence preventing dirt from being dropped. It may also be possible that a road has to be placed near a 30+ slope, in that case, it's better to [[flattening|flat-raise]] to flatten your tile because any dirt dropped will slide down.

When using flatten, one may find it handy to 'stop' the flatten action once the slope hits the desired value, instead of allowing the entire flatten to take place. This can make evening out slopes along a hill much faster.

== Slopes ==

The optimal road slope is 20. Any slope greater than 20 may physically hurt you if you travel down the road at full speed.

A road with a slope of 24+ is self-defeating and fairly useless.

== [[Titles]] ==
* Roadbuilder at 50 skill

Walking on cobblestone is the fastest way of traveling on foot (up to 17.3Km/h on a flat tile). Cobblestone can only be removed or terraformed by a player with a premium account. Cobblestone is easier to create than [[stone slabs]], which has an identical travel speed. For these reasons, cobblestone is widely used when making permanent roads, paths, or courtyards. 

Cobblestone tiles have a chance of decaying if they are not walked upon for 2 days.

== Making cobblestone ==
# Activate a [[Stone Brick]]
# Right-click a tile of [[packed dirt]] and select ''[[paving|Pave]]''.

== Destroying cobblestone ==
# Activate a [[shovel]]
# Right-click a tile of cobblestone and select ''Destroy Pavement''.

'''Note:''' 20 body strength is needed to destroy cobblestone.

== Alternatives ==

Alternative pavements include [[gravel]] and [[stone slabs]].

Danar: how much mind logic does a caravel need?

I have 25 SB and i am using 2 ql 30 keels and i do not have an option for the caravel. Will update the page when i do get the option.

is it even possible to exceed the caravels carrying capacity? - [[Player:Fishybows|Fishybows]]

People in the forums have claimed that it only takes 24 Mind Logic to command. This would be more in line with what the other boats take. Is 30 actually the confirmed number? -[[Player:Danar|Danar]]

Drown

Danar: fixed typo

{{stub}}
When a player reaches zero [[stamina]] while swimming (on [[Water tiles|water tile]]s) they will begin to drown. Drowning will incur a [[Wound:Light|light wound]] at random intervals upon the player's stomach while they continue to swim with zero stamina.

Drowning damage is only incurred while the player is moving, standing still in water does not cause drowning wounds.

Drowning wounds are untreatable, but they heal very quickly and never get worse, regardless of [[Wounds|wound severity]].

Currently, drowning damage is listed as fire damage. This will probably change in the future.

Damage

2009-10-18T09:07:52Z

Danar: Medium wounds don't heal on their own

'''Damage''' is used to illustrate the concepts of wear-and-tear on [[item]]s. Most items will accumulate damage when left outside, though this process can be slowed with the use of [[container]]s. Containers made from [[cedar]] trees are particularly good at protecting items.

Some items are damageable through player actions as well. Most [[tool]]s will take damage and require [[repair]] from usage or failed [[improve]]ment. [[Wall]]s, [[fence]]s, and player structures can take damage from direct player [[attack]]s.

Should your character sustain damage (being attacked by wildlife or other players, by falling etc.), any [[Wound:Medium|medium wounds]] (you can find your wounds on your body in your [[inventory]]) or worse are likely not to heal by themselves. You can heal them by casting healing [[spell]]s (See [[Religion]]) or by using [[rags]] as bandages, it's also possible to use [[healing cover]]s to heal.

Damage reduces the effective [[QL]] of an item to '''QL * (1 - DMG/100)'''. Example: A QL 20.8 [[log]] with 26.0 damage will only give QL 15.4 [[kindling]].

Questions for testing by Marni/[[User:Marni|purp]] 06:03, 21 May 2009 (CDT)
: Are the wounds always new or can they affect other wounds already on the stomach area?
: Do they, as some people say, heal faster than normal light wounds?
: Has anyone experienced the glitch where drowning could occur on land?
: Are animals affected by drowning?

Battlepants:
Seems they are always a new drowning wound, I have had 15+ on my torso at once and they never stacked.
Also, it actually seemed like this heal slower to me. (not actually measured though, just a hunch)

AvatarJTC:
Perhaps the healing was slower because you were out of stamina?

AvatarJTC:
I lead a tame dog while on a boat from Kinsaitos to a kilometer east of Samling.
That journey was all on water, and the dog swam the entire time. It is safe to say dogs are not affected by drowning.
Further testing with bears and crocodiles will be required before we are certain animals don't drown.
This also could mean tame animals can't drown and wild animals can.
:Untame animals lead with a rope while sailing/rowing don't drown. Who thought of that anyway? ;) --[[User:Ulviirala|Ulviirala]] 07:22, 13 July 2009 (CDT)

Danar:
Drowning wounds are displayed as fire damage ATM, they seem to stack each other now but I am unsure if it stacks with FA damage or lava damage. The latter might be untestable since lava damage is applied to the feet and drowning is not. Also not sure if they never stack with regular wounds or if animals just don't normally target the wound.

Console

2009-10-02T07:32:37Z

Danar: Added unstable client's default console key

[[Main Page]] :: [[Console]]

The console is a window for entering text commands to the client. It can be opened using {{key|F1}} in the default key bindings. ({{key|F9}} in the current unstable client) Console commands are different from [[chat commands]], which are typed in the chat and sent directly to the server.

== List of commands ==

Console commands are small commands to use in the console, to change settings. These commands can also be used in [[Client Key Bindings|autorun.txt for defining key bindings]].

; bind <key> <action> : Binds the key to the specified action. See the [[#Key binds|key section]] for <key> and <action> values.
; bind <key> "<text>" : Binds the key to a console command. Pressing the key will act as if you had typed the text into the console.
; cmd <num> : Raw fight commands, use with care.
; dump (debug | skills) : Saves the specified data to a file in the player's dumps directory.
; dump (binds | options) : Dumps the specified data to the console.
; exec <filename> : Executes each line in the file as a console command.
; fightmove<1-5> : Use fight special move 1-5. (No space in the command.)
; irc [server] [port] : Connects to the specified [[IRC]] network. Defaults are irc.heavenlyplace.net and 6667.
; ircsay <text> : Sends the text to the topmost IRC window.
; quit : Opens the quit dialog
; reallyquit : Quits the client without asking for confirmation
; refresh: Reloads the game graphics
; say <text> : Sends the specified text to the local chat window. (Access other chat windows using /tell, /shout, /village)
; screenshot : Creates a screenshot (in the player's screenshot directory)
; sensitivity <0-10> : Changes mouse sensitivity to the given value. Note that this only changes the senstivity when looking around.
; setoption <option_name> <option_value> : Changes a game option without restarting. Not all options can be changed while playing. Look in gamesettings.txt for option names and value hints.
; showbml <filename> : Parses the file as [[BML]] and displays it
; switchlight : toggles between old and new light code
; toggle (console | fightspam | fps | gui | healthbar | improve | inventory | keyboard_hints | skills | spelleffects | stats | target | wikisearch* | compass* | toolbelt*) : Toggles the specified feature. Most control display of [[HUD]] components.
; wiki <title> : Opens a window with the specified wiki page.

Legend: <name> is a mandatory argument, [name] is an optional argument, (name|other) is an argument which requires one of the listed values.

== Key binds ==

The bind commands require special values as input.

<key> is based on Java key constants. Letters and numbers represent themselves. For other keys, search [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/event/KeyEvent.html the full KeyEvent list] if you can't guess the correct name. Meta keys can also be specified, e.g. <tt>shift-tab</tt> or <tt>ctrl-alt-w</tt>. Available meta keys are Ctrl, Shift and Alt. The "Alt Gr" key is treated as Alt (if your keyboard has one). The non-meta key must always be the last key in the combination. It is not possible to bind only meta keys.

<action> is based on an internal client list. The known values are based on autorun.txt. They are: <tt>NEXT_TAB, TOGGLE_CHAT, AUTORUN, CENTER_VIEW, TURN_DOWN, TURN_UP, TURN_LEFT, TURN_RIGHT, MOVE_FORWARD, MOVE_BACK, MOVE_LEFT, MOVE_RIGHT, STRAFE</tt>

In November 2007, more "keys" were added: <tt>FIGHT_DEFENSIVE, FIGHT_NORMAL, FIGHT_AGGRESSIVELY, TOGGLE_CLIMB, TOGGLE_FAITHFUL, TOGGLE_LAWFUL, ACTIVATE_TOOL1, ACTIVATE_TOOL2, ACTIVATE_TOOL3, ACTIVATE_TOOL4, ACTIVATE_TOOL5</tt> (there was no key option for spam mode)

In March 2008, more "keys" were added: <tt>TOGGLE_FIGHT_SPAM, GLANCE_LEFT, GLANCE_RIGHT, NO_TARGET, PREVIOUS_TAB, NEXT_WINDOW, PREVIOUS_WINDOW, EXAMINE, TAKE, DROP</tt>
