Talk:Keel section

Hatchet works. Tried using a large axe, didn't work. Probably not going to work with other axes either, but doesn't hurt to try. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 17:54, 2 May 2008 (CDT)

In the description it talks about the keel being destroyed on a failed creation attemp, and although it is related to a keel section, this only happens when making a ship. A failed creation attempt on the keel section just results in wood scraps 1 @ 30, and 1 @ 60.

Perhaps this would be a possible way of showing it... see table.

Confirmed to use ship building. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 20:12, 25 November 2008 (CST)

== Notes ==

I was building a Corbita today. I found that what the wikki is saying is wrong when attaching the two keel sections I found it to be this way instead:

*The quality of the passive keel section affects the initial quality of the ship.
*The quality of the active keel section affects the success chance when creating a ship.
*The active keel section is lost when you fail creating a ship.

Can anyone confirm this before I change it?

:Active keel section QL11.43, passive QL4.69

:<s>Looks like it's correct to me. Maybe you're confusing something? Tired? :)</s>
:<s>LOL sorry... you had '''me''' confused now, but yea... you're right, it's always been like you said, with every ship. So I checked the article history and I just refined the old article ealier, which was already wrong.</s>
:On a second thought, no... I remember that the passive one used to affect the success chance. It was a pain when I made my first corbita back then in november or september... and I didn't worry too much about the active section at all. Anyway, you're confirmed, even though this change is weird and came unnoticed *shakes fist at [[User:Rolf]]* :P

::*yea, i remember that it was the passive one that affected chance when i was making my cog. but when i was making a the rig some time later it was the active item (mast) affecting chance. [[User:Norill|Norill]]

== Description ==
An ornate and intricate metal lock used to lock a boat. A recommended device to prevent your [[mooring anchor]] and boat from being stolen.

Lump QL determines quality of lock when made. QL doesn't matter on Home servers, but on Wild, a QL of 80+ is needed.

Boat locks cannot be improved.

Gives 0.80kg [[Iron_scrap|iron scrap]] if you fail.

=== Usage ===
:*Boat locks can be attached to [[boat]]s to enforce boat permissions. Combined with a mooring anchor will give maximum boat protection.

==RE: ''Player:'' Redirects And Babel Information==
Okay, we need a collaborative effort in making all of these happen. As you should know, a Wiki redirect is as follows: ''<nowiki>#Redirect [[Pagename]]</nowiki>''. So when you come across a link to a User:USERNAME page please take the time to copy all the information on that page then make a redirect to Player:PLAYERNAME(for this purpose we will assume every wurmpedia account has a corresponding Wurm Online player account, if not please redirect that user page to the matching in-game name). Now go to the page you just redirected to and paste the information in, additionally you will need to add to the bottom of the page ''<nowiki>[[Category:Ingame Help]][[Category:Players]][[Category:Babel/INSERTFIRSTLETTEROFPLAYER'SNAMEHERE]]</nowiki>''.

Here's what I've got so far: [[User:Ancient/Prototype_Main_Page]]. Any ideas and suggestions? Do you think we should replace the main page with this. I've also seen that Lain Iwakura is working on alphabetical categories for all articles: [[User:Lainiwakura/NewMainPagePrototype]].

Huh? There are not that much French people playing wurm :p I would be useless

And how could we translate the 1000+ article? It's a lot of work, and I don't think that there are a lot of people who can speak french who want to translate the whole wiki :O

Up to now, me and [[User:Kiri|Kiri]] are on it. We tried it on the [[Page principale|Main page]]. --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 14:03, 14 June 2006 (CDT)

I asked [[User:Egal|Egal]] and she said that the french pages should be prefixed with either "Francais:" or "Fr:". I think "Fr:" would be just fine. Onward, "Es:", "Ru:", might become interesting. --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 02:05, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

Would it be possible for Wurmpedia to detect the language preference of the visitor's browser and redirect those who chose fr, fr-CA, fr-FR, fr-BE, fr-CH and on to [[Fr:Page principale]]? --[[User:Kanif|Kanif]] 22:10, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

That would be possible if we asked Egal to make a script that does it. For example there is a wiki.php script which is executed when the user clicks "Wiki" in the menu, instead of going straight to the wiki, then the wiki.php script finds the language and redirects the user onwards to the real wiki.

--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 05:32, 17 June 2006 (CDT)

My proposed code is below:

<?php
// Language Redirect Script by Graham Edgecombe aka Ancient
//
// Find the user's language
$language = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
// Default it to English if it is not set by the browser
if(!isset($language))
{
$language = "en";
}
// A list of all the languages supported and their "Main Page" names is defined here
$languages_supported = array
(
"en" => "Main Page"
"fr" => "Page principale"
"de" => "Hauptseite"
);
// Checks to see if the users language is supported
if(isset($languages_supported[$language]))
{
// If so redirect them to their language's home page which is "language code":"Main Page in that language" - of course this means English goes to "En:Main Page" so we will have to make a redirect in the wiki to go back to "Main Page"
header("Location: http://www.wurmonline.com/wiki/" . $language . ":" . $languages_supported[$language]);
}
else
{
// Otherwise redirect them to the Main Page, this could also be another page saying that the language is not supported
header("Location: http://www.wurmonline.com/wiki/Main Page");
}
?>

--[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 05:28, 17 June 2006 (CDT)

The web server has a function that, when there is a page that has multiple copy but all ending with a language code (ex.: index.html.en, index.html.fr, index.html.fr-CH, index.html.es) then it returns the file that match the language of the browser. It isn't turned on by default.

I don't think that would work with the wiki - it would do a different index.php file for each language, what we want is a different page in the wiki database, and that has to be done by passing a different parameter to the script, not by finding a different index.php file. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 01:55, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

== Signature generator ==

Today I made a signature generator for my Wurm fansite.

You can access it [http://www.grahamedgecombe.com/wurm/index.php?c=signature.php here].

You can choose a background image, add some text and put some dynamic text in. At the moment you have three choices for dynamic text: number of players on home server, number of players on wild server or number of players on all the servers.

It might be slightly off to what you see on [http://www.wurmonline.com www.wurmonline.com] because it only updates every 5 minutes.

Here's a sample signature:

http://www.grahamedgecombe.com/wurm/sig.php?r=255&g=255&b=255&img=6&text_dynamic=pcTotal&dynx=200&dyny=80&text_normal=%3D+Ancient+-+Wurm+Online+Player+-+Member+of+DarkWood+%3D&staticx=5&staticy=20&/file001.png
It exports HTML, wikicode and BB code.

Thought it might be interesting to put it up here. --[[User:Ancient|Ancient]] 07:33, 30 December 2006 (CST)

: I'm not convinced that's a good idea. There's already a skill compare site, and villages can boast their accomplishments on the village pages.

I'm a bit hesitant to mess with the main page, but the japanese community have been working on their own wiki & I thought it might be a good idea to link to it. It's here:
http://wurm.mmorpgplayer.com/ --[[User:Uzetaab|Uzetaab]] 03:16, 2 January 2008 (CST)

: I added the link to the language bar. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 17:04, 2 January 2008 (CST)

== Duplication of effort and redirects, a suggestion ==

Since the client has supported redirects for a while now, how about a bit of a reorganization spree involving deleting all the Item: Creature: Skill: (and so on) pages and redirecting them to their equivalent main namespace articles. I'm sure I can't be the only one who thinks having to maintain two copies of most pages is a big unnecessary pain.
[[User:Robert|Robert]] 04:48, 27 February 2009 (CST)

: Redirects were never the issue to begin with. The reason we have ingame help pages is because the client doesn't support markup. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 10:51, 27 February 2009 (CST)

== Namespaces for Settlements ==
There are a lot of settlements listed on the Wiki and I suggest that they get their own namespace, regardless of their server or whether or not they longer exist. This would tidy them up into one area and also mean if anyone happens to create, or have already created, a settlement with the same name as a current page there would be little confusion. I know we already have categories for the settlements, but I believe they deserve their own namespace... even more so than wounds (which DO have their own). Thoughts? --[[User:Marni|purp]] 10:04, 21 May 2009 (CDT)
:Seems reasonable to me, however what about the situation of two villages having the same names on different servers, how would that work? [[User:Robert|Robert]] 11:47, 21 May 2009 (CDT)

:: I like this too. rolf could make it so when u right click on the token and select "what's this?" u will see village's wiki page. something similar to "Player:" pages. [[User:Norill|Norill]]

Player:Ulviirala

2009-05-20T20:27:34Z

Norill:

Ulviirala is a female [[Mol-Rehan]] character living in [[Ussta Delmah]] on the western coast of [[Mol-Rehan Home]], she is a jack of all trades and appreciates quiet places.

== Background ==
Ulviirala arrived in the [[starfall]] of dancers in the year of 990 (08/09/08) as a [[Jenn-Kellon]] on [[Jenn002|home]]. She moved away from [[Newtown]] very early and found a place to live near [[Hidden Village]]. She made friends with Vitruvius and Vish who eventually disappeared and were never to be seen again a short time after. While this might sound suspicious, there was no evidence and thus no investigation, connecting the disappearance of named men with Ulviirala. Neither suspected was [[Player:Raidsoft|Raidsoft]], a fellow of Ulviirala or [[Player:Dynok|Dynok]], a frenzied, [[Wind_of_Ages|item shattering]] priest fellow of Raidsoft which stayed a short while at the area.

People in the adjacent [[Settlement|village]] haven't seen her after the white shark's starfall in the year of 992 (10/22/08) anymore, probably believed to have fallen victim to the [[Animal conditions|raging]] [[Scorpion|scorps]] that heavily inhabitated the [[local]] area, sharing the fate of her former friends.

Word has been spread, she was seen again in the starfall of the saw in the year of 994 though, asking locals about the situation while she was away. Although she eventually moved away to visit a barely known [[:Category:Players|fellow]] in [[Chalice]], that she found dead empty and asked for shelter at [[Bennie Bay]] for a few days. After these days she built a [[rowing boat]] and decided to move on and in secret, [[convert]] to the [[Mol-Rehan]] kingdom.

She founded the [[Settlement|homestead]] of [[Ussta Delmah]] in the [[Astronomy and geography|great lands]] of [[Johen King]] on wrath day in week 4 of the starfall of diamonds in the year of 994, living there since.

==Trading==
Ulviirala keeps an eye out on trading opportunities but due to limited means of travel and transportation and still working on her home, she won't travel too far and limits activities mostly to the western coast area. If you are interested in hiring, you can view [[Player:Ulviirala/Tradeskills|her tradeskills on the wiki]] or at the [http://wurm.riceri.se/ Wurm Online Skillcompare] beforehand. She accepts enchants and goods as trade, or coin as payment.

|group=Containers
|materials=* 15 [[plank]]
* 2 [[shaft]] (1.0kg)
* 4 [[small nails]]
* 1 [[Yoke]]
|result=* 1 Large cart
|skill=fine carpentry}}

== Description ==
A mobile [[container]] used to transport cargo.

== Subcomponents ==
*2x [[small wheel]]
*1x [[small wheel axle]]

== Total Materials ==
* 7 [[shaft]]
* 22 [[plank|planks]]
* 4 [[small nails]]

'''Note:''' At very low fine carpentry skills, it is a good idea to make a couple of extra shafts and planks.

== Hitching ==
To hitch an animal to your cart, lead it with rope, right-click the cart and select '''Hitch'''. You can hitch up to two animals. Some animals may be too weak to drag a cart, this could be due to:
* The animal is generally too small and/or too weak to drag a cart.
* The animal is too young.
* The animal is too old.

To unhitch an animal from your cart, embark the cart, right-click the animal you want to unhitch, and select '''Unhitch'''.

For convenient speed it is recommended to hitch two animals in a proper age.

The cart doesn't move faster when going downhill, but it will slow down a little when you go up hill, just as if you were [[Mounts|riding]] an animal.

Terrain type does not affect speed.

Animals cannot drag a cart over tiles that have a slope of 25 or higher, set back a little and go around it.

Stamina drain is very low, the benefit being to be able to transport heavy amounts of weight you could not drag by yourself.

Maximum weight animals can drag is unknown. Discuss on the [[Talk:Large cart|talk page]].

== Notes ==
* The first plank is lost if you fail the initial attachment.
* The [[quality]] of the cart affects its [[decay]] rate. Carts are naturally very resistant to damage.
* The cart can be locked with a [[boat lock]].
* The volume of items will affect how many can fit into a cart.
* Although carts cannot be dragged in water tiles, they can be pushed.
* 47.23 kg of [[dye]] is needed to paint a large cart.
* The maximum weight you can [[drag]] in a large cart is determined by the formula: ([[strength|Body Strength]] * 7 - Amount of weight you're carrying) * 10 - 240.

== Useful Capacity Quantities ==
*100 dirt, sand, peat
*18 felled trees
can be adjusted by stacking other containers, such as rafts, inside.

== Building Items Inside Carts ==

This is a precarious thing to do as sometimes an item must be on the ground in order to be continued or finished. Other times, the item may be too heavy to remove from the cart once finished or too heavy to remove to add the last piece, leaving you with a 99% complete item that can never be used. A patch was applied in October 2008 making it impossible to finish most items inside carts, including, but not restricted to, fountains.

A few amusing things that used to be able to be finished inside carts: Shrines. Fountains. Guard Towers. Forges (could not light). Mailboxes.

2009-05-17T21:56:21Z

Norill:

Should the generic warnings (like building things inside carts) be moved to the cart page, and make it a category instead of a disambiguation page?

== Speed ==
How fast can you go with animals hitched to the large cart?

* 1 old [[bull]] dragged it with 0.72km/h on [[packed dirt]]. - [[User:Ulviirala|Ulviirala]] 23:55, 3 April 2009 (CDT)
* Heard that two bulls dragged a cart at about 5km/h.
* 1 old bull and 1 adolescent horse w/o any "upgrades" 3.60km/h. - [[User:Ulviirala|Ulviirala]] 03:27, 9 April 2009 (CDT)
* Same adolescent horse on its own 1.72km/h. - [[User:Ulviirala|Ulviirala]] 03:27, 9 April 2009 (CDT)
* Two adolescent/mature horses with QL50 shoes, one with bridle, 3.60km/h.

It looks like the cart maxes out at 3.60km/h with any type of creature. Here's a quote from IRC:
:<Rolf> i haven't hardcoded a max speed limit but maybe it's not possible to get it higher with those creatures
:<Rolf> ox carts are notoriously slow
:<Rolf> part of the siesta manana image

A villagemate had 100 coal piles in his large cart, only the dirts missing. that sums up to 50.000kg. the cart didnt slow down. --[[User:KaiH|KaiH]] 14:50, 3 May 2009 (CDT)

=== Notes ===
<s>The cart doesn't speed up downhill, but it doesn't slow down uphill either.</s>
With the latest changes to mounts, the cart doesn't speed up downhill, but it does slow down when going uphill now.

Terrain doesn't affect cart speed.

<s>At steep slopes (20?) the cart might not move. You have to '''move forward and double-strafe''' (hold your walk left and your walk right keys), to get up that hill but it's very slow.</s>
This has been fixed and it seems that the animals don't move over a tile that has a slope above 27? of any opposite corner (diagonal opposite counts, too). The exact conditions are to be discovered yet.

== Dragging ==
The formula applied to small carts does not seem to be valid for large carts.
I propose testing: ((BodyStr * 7 - AmountYoureCarrying) * 10) - 240.
- [[User:Ulviirala|Ulviirala]] 02:58, 4 April 2009 (CDT)

== Locks ==
My large cart has a boat lock attached, it is "locked" but I can access the hold, drag it, and embark it without the key being in my inventory but in a large chest in my house. Therefore the information added about locks seems to be errorneus. It's to be tested if only the builder of the cart can still access it, and other people can't, I don't have many people around who could test though. --[[User:Ulviirala|Ulviirala]] 01:41, 17 May 2009 (CDT)

Healing cover

Norill:

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Alchemy]] / [[Natural substances]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''



== Description ==

Alchemical item made from natural substances. It consist of a cream to be applied on wounds. The cream will stabilize and accelerate the healing of a covered [[wound]].

== Creation method ==

Activate the first item and right click on the second item. To preview it's effectiveness, choose '''Alchemy>>Lore''' (Required: 10 of the [[natural substances]] skill). To make the '''{{PAGENAME}}''' choose '''Alchemy>>Mix'''.

== Result ==

* Healing cover - 0.02~0.8 kg

== Skill used ==

* [[Natural Substances]]

== Usage ==

Activate a healing cover, right click on a wound and choose '''Treat'''. The success rate is relative to your skill in [[First Aid]] and the [[quality]] of the cover. Failure to apply has a chance to make the wound worse. It appears that success chance is also related to the severity of the wound.

== Cover strength ==

The strength of the cover is the value of the first ingredient multiplied by the value of the second.
: ''substance1.potency * substance2.potency = cover.power''

For example, a cover made from Onion (2) and Nettles (3) would be (2 x 3 = 6) 6 potency. The maximum potency is 25.

== Potency List ==

{| border="0" cellpadding = "3" cellspacing = "1"

== Strength identification ==

The quality of a healing cover is of no consequence to the strength of the cover. To identify if it is weak or strong, one can examine it. One of these answers will be returned:

* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''help some''' against wounds.'' (1-5)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''pretty efficient''' against wounds.'' (6-8)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''be good''' against wounds.'' (9-11)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''be pretty good''' against wounds.'' (12-15)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''be very good''' against wounds.'' (16-20)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''be supreme''' against wounds.'' (20+)

== Effectiveness ==

The effectiveness of a cover is the amount of points the healing cover will add to the base rate of natural healing, which is 5 each 20 minutes. It is determined by the substances used to make the covers.

It can be seen, once applied, while examining a wound. It will show as a number between parenthesis at the end of the wound description. Example:

* ''You see a small bruise at the lower back.''
* ''It is covered with some healing plants (2).''

Weak covers will have an effectiveness of 1 to 10 while strong covers will have an effectiveness of 10 or more.

== Additional notes ==

* You cannot mix two items of the same type, you can however mix 2 different types of mushrooms.
* Butchered items can last for more than one creation.
* [http://imperialsoft.sytes.net/files/healingcovers.php Healing Cover Calculator] - '''website down - anyone know who owns it?''' 
* When training your [[natural substances]] skill by making covers, higher potency ones will give you more skill.

Body strength

2009-05-17T21:09:04Z

Norill: Undo revision 44015 by Special:Contributions/Ulviirala (User talk:Ulviirala)

[[Main Page]] :: [[Useful links for beginners]] :: [[Characteristics]] :: '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

High '''body strength''' allows you to carry or [[drag]] heavier loads. It also increases [[damage]] in combat and on [[wall]]s or [[fence]]s.

Skills for improving your body strength include:
[[mining]], [[digging]], and [[woodcutting]].

20.5 body strength and [[soul strength]] is required to attack players on the [[home server]].

== Carrying capacity ==
The maximum [[weight]] a character can carry is '''7 * body strength'''.

The integer part of body strength (e.g. 25 if 25.62) also determines how much you can carry before starting to move slower.

* Above 2*strength weight, speed drops to 3/4 of normal
* Above 3.5*strength weight, it drops to 1/4
* Above 7*strength weight, speed is only 1/20

For example the key values for 25.62 strength would be 50 [[kg]], 87.5 kg and 175 kg, and the maximum possible load would be 179.34 kg.

== Dragging ==
The maximum weight a character can drag is (((Body Strength * 7) - (Amount of weight you're carrying)) * 10) - Weight of cart or ship. If you drag more than this value, you will stop dragging the cart or ship as soon as you move.

For example, someone with 21 strength carrying 20kg of tools could drag a small cart, which weighs 60kg, filled with up to (147-20)*10-60=1210kg, which is 80 bricks.

Norill:

== Required strength to drag a corbita ==
Hello, how did you come to the conclusion, that you need over 20 body str to drag a corbita? By the formula, (21.00 * 7 - Weight you're carrying) * 10, equals exactly 1400kg so you should be able, having nothing on your body and inventory, to drag a corbita with 20.00 strength, not "greater than 20.00".

The formula is also explained below so everyone with enough of a working brain can figure that. No offense intended. I undid the change since you didn't specify a reason in the summary.

*Yea, i know the formula. But i checked it ingame and u cant drag it with exactly 20 bs. u need anything greater than that, even 20,000001 [[User:Norill|Norill]]

Lamp

2009-05-17T21:01:32Z

Norill:

[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / [[Blacksmithing]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
A decorative '''lamp head''' on a pole.

{{item
|name={{PAGENAME}}
|active=[[lamp head]]
|passive=[[log]] (~4.80 kg)
|group=Decoration
|materials=no
|result=*'''{{PAGENAME}}'''
|skill=blacksmithing
}}

=== Usage ===
Lamps are used to light an area, unlike [[lantern]]s they can be planted much like a [[sign]] without the 1 per week timer, and like a sign they can only be picked up by the planter. When lamps are placed on a [[deed]], they will light themselves in the evening, and all lamps will go out in the morning(even lamps in mines).

=== Hint ===
Lamps can be made out of any metal (confirmed by Oracle). When attaching the [[log]] to the [[lamp head]], it's the log that determines the success rate, and if you fail you lose the log while the lamp head is turned to a scrap. If you succeed to make a lamp, the whole log is used.

Lamps take 0.125[[kg]] of [[tar]] to fill to max capacity, and painting them takes 0.06kg of [[dye]]. Like a lantern, the higher quality they are the brighter they shine. Brass lamps glow the brightest, although they cannot be painted. Silver lamps cast white light, copper lamps glow orange, and bronze lamps give a deep brown(courtesy of Bianca).

Water Divining

2009-05-13T18:25:10Z

Norill:

[[CDB | Main]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==

Divining for water allows the detection of water sources beneath the surface using a [[pendulum]]. No skills seem to be required. Tiles with water sources will automatically fill up [[well]]s and [[fountain (container)|fountain]]s placed on them.

== Method ==

Stand on a tile and right-click the pendulum in your inventory, then select use. One of the outcomes below will result depending on how far you are from water. Placing a [[fountain (container)|fountain]] or a [[well]] on the spot where water is detected will result in the fountain/well being filled automatically. With a low quality pendulum, the pendulum will "seem dead" frequently on tiles where it should detect the presence of water nearby. Pendulums will never give false positives, so if the result is anything other than dead it is accurate. Higher quality pendulums give fewer false negatives when detecting water.

== Outcomes ==

The outcomes are in order of rising magnitude. Those at the end of the list indicate water is closer than those at the beginning. Please note that with a lower quality pendulum, the chance that a false negative reading will occur can be as often as 25%.

; The pendulum seems dead. : There is no water nearby (or a false-negative)
; You think you detect some faint tugs in the pendulum. : There is water nearby (5 to ~10)
; The pendulum is starting to move, indicating a flow of energy somewhere near. : There is water closer (3 to 4)
; The pendulum is swinging in a circle, there is probably a water source in the ground nearby. : There is water very close (2)
; The pendulum swings back and forth! You are close to a water source! : You are within approximately one tile of water (1)
; The pendulum swings frantically! There is something here! : You are standing on a water source (0)

Healing cover

2009-05-02T15:55:52Z

Norill:

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Alchemy]] / [[Natural substances]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''



== Description ==

Alchemical item made from natural substances. It consist of a cream to be applied on wounds. The cream will stabilize and accelerate the healing of a covered [[wound]].

== Creation method ==

Activate the first item and right click on the second item. To preview it's effectiveness, choose '''Alchemy>>Lore''' (Required: 10 of the [[natural substances]] skill). To make the '''{{PAGENAME}}''' choose '''Alchemy>>Mix'''.

== Result ==

* Healing cover - 0.02~0.8 kg

== Skill used ==

* [[Natural Substances]]

== Usage ==

Activate a healing cover, right click on a wound and choose '''Treat'''. The success rate is relative to your skill in [[First Aid]] and the [[quality]] of the cover. Failure to apply has a chance to make the wound worse. It appears that success chance is also related to the severity of the wound.

== Cover strength ==

The strength of the cover is the value of the first ingredient multiplied by the value of the second.
: ''substance1.potency * substance2.potency = cover.power''

For example, a cover made from Onion (2) and Nettles (3) would be (2 x 3 = 6) 6 potency. The maximum potency is 25.

== Potency List ==

== Strength identification ==

The quality of a healing cover is of no consequence to the strength of the cover. To identify if it is weak or strong, one can examine it. One of these answers will be returned:

* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''help some''' against wounds.'' (1-5)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''pretty efficient''' against wounds.'' (6-8)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''be good''' against wounds.'' (9-11)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''be pretty good''' against wounds.'' (12-15)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''be very good''' against wounds.'' (16-20)
* ''A bunch of interwoven grass mixed with various healing ingredients. It will '''be supreme''' against wounds.'' (20+)

== Effectiveness ==

The effectiveness of a cover is the amount of points the healing cover will add to the base rate of natural healing, which is 5 each 20 minutes. It is determined by the substances used to make the covers.

It can be seen, once applied, while examining a wound. It will show as a number between parenthesis at the end of the wound description. Example:

* ''You see a small bruise at the lower back.''
* ''It is covered with some healing plants (2).''

Weak covers will have an effectiveness of 1 to 10 while strong covers will have an effectiveness of 10 or more.

== Additional notes ==

* You cannot mix two items of the same type, you can however mix 2 different types of mushrooms.
* Butchered items can last for more than one creation.
* [http://imperialsoft.sytes.net/files/healingcovers.php Healing Cover Calculator]
* When training your [[natural substances]] skill by making covers, higher potency ones will give you more skill.

|active=[[plank]] (2.0 kg)
|passive=[[small wheel axle]]
|group=Containers
|materials=* 15 [[plank]]
* 2 [[shaft]] (1.0kg)
* 4 [[small nails]]
* 1 [[Yoke]]
|result=* 1 Large cart
|skill=fine carpentry}}

== Description ==
A mobile [[container]] used to transport cargo.

== Subcomponents ==
*2x [[small wheel]]
*1x [[small wheel axle]]

== Total Materials ==
* 7 [[shaft]]
* 22 [[plank|planks]]
* 4 [[small nails]]

'''Note:''' At very low fine carpentry skills, it is a good idea to make a couple of extra shafts and planks.

== Hitching ==
To hitch an animal to your cart, lead it with rope, right-click the cart and select '''Hitch'''. You can hitch up to two animals. Some animals may be too weak to drag a cart, this could be due to:
* The animal is generally too small and/or too weak to drag a cart.
* The animal is too young.
* The animal is too old.

To unhitch an animal from your cart, embark the cart, right-click the animal you want to unhitch, and select '''Unhitch'''.

For convenient speed it is recommended to hitch two animals in a proper age.

The cart doesn't move faster when going downhill, but it doesn't move slower when going uphill either.

Terrain type does not affect speed.

If you're getting stuck at about a 20 slope, try moving forward while double-strafing.

Stamina drain is very low, the benefit being to be able to transport heavy amounts of weight you could not drag by yourself.

Maximum weight animals can drag is unknown. Discuss on the [[Talk:Large cart|talk page]].

== Notes ==
* The first plank is lost if you fail the initial attachment.
* The [[quality]] of the cart affects its [[decay]] rate. Carts are naturally very resistant to damage.
* The volume of items will affect how many can fit into a cart.
* Although carts cannot be dragged in water tiles, they can be pushed.
* 47 kg of [[dye]] is needed to paint a large cart.
* The maximum weight you can [[drag]] in a large cart is determined by the formula: ([[strength|Body Strength]] * 7 - Amount of weight you're carrying) * 10 - 240.

== Useful Capacity Quantities ==
100 dirts ( current known quantity)(same as any container)
can be adjusted by stacking other containers, such as rafts, inside.
or
18 felled trees

== Building Items Inside Carts ==

This is a precarious thing to do as sometimes an item must be on the ground in order to be continued or finished. Other times, the item may be too heavy to remove from the cart once finished or too heavy to remove to add the last piece, leaving you with a 99% complete item that can never be used. A patch was applied in October 2008 making it impossible to finish most items inside carts, including, but not restricted to, fountains.

A few amusing things that used to be able to be finished inside carts: Shrines. Fountains. Guard Towers. Forges (could not light). Mailboxes.

Prospecting

2009-03-08T16:59:43Z

Norill:

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

== Description ==

Prospecting is the locating of [[ore]] veins in rock. To start prospecting, activate a [[pickaxe]] and right-click a [[rock tile]], select Mining -> Prospect. Note that you can not search for ore veins by means of prospecting when being inside a cave - you have to be on the surface.

Anyone can detect veins within 3 tiles. At higher skill levels, additional abilities are unlocked.

* At 20 skill you can estimate the quality of a vein or rock tile. You can detect the presence of [[flint]].
* At 40 skill you can detect the presence of [[salt]].
* At 60 skill you can estimate the remaining amount of ore in a vein.

Gems appear randomly during all mining, and cannot be prospected.

All ores are slightly regional. Thus, if you locate a vein of ore, it is likely there will be other veins of the same ore type nearby.

== Vein quality ==

Rock tiles and ore veins have a maximum quality level. Ore veins on the [[home server]] are limited to 50 QL (normal).

When prospecting inside a cave, both "poor" and "acceptable" are displayed as "pretty bad".

* Poor: 20-29
* Acceptable: 30-39
* Normal: 40-59
* Good: 60-79
* Very good: 80-92
* Utmost: 93-99

== Vein depletion ==

Ordered by decreasing ore supply. Some estimated values of the message added by Gavin.

* "Only a few weeks mining remain here"
* "The ore is starting to deplete"
* "You should start to prospect for another vein of this ore" ''(Definitely under 5,000)''
* "The ore will run out soon"'' (Definitely under 2,000. Likely under 1,000.)''
* "The ore will run out any hour (100 left)"

The estimated values are not to be accepted as 'true', There could be all kinds of factors like it might be a message of total vein capacity, Not just 'whats left' I noticed these numbers on a Silver vein.

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

X = no prospect of that ore
<-- = last tile you did get a prospect
3 = I recommend you start mining here
</pre>

Realize that the world is 2 dimensional. All the rock and ore tiles are pillars, they are not cubes. You can ignore the height of mountains when prospecting. Only North/South/West/East matter.

When you prospect on the surface, you can detect ore in an area of 7x7 area around you. That's 3 tiles in all directions from the tile you are prospecting. Prospecting inside a cave is not done to find ores, but to tell specific details about the tile you are prospecting.

When you prospect e.g. iron ore on the surface that means that somewhere within a range of 3 tiles around you (including the tiles behind you) an iron vein is located. You then try to find the tiles where you can no longer prospect the ore. You need to find one North or South edge, and one East or West edge.

Then count 3 tiles from both those edges and the tile you end up with is the ore vein.

You cannot mine the vein tile directly from the surface. If you try to mine the vein tile from the surface you will get the message You fail to produce anything, the rock is stone hard, or You cannot keep mining here, the rock is unusually hard (only when you were supposed to get a stone shard, otherwise you'll get You chip away at the rock as usual. You will have to start tunneling in the tile next to vein.

Sometimes grass, dirt or other tile types hinder the prospecting. Try to find a large rockface to ease prospecting.

Or you can try this program out as well [http://discon.googlepages.com/prospector.html]

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| | | | o | | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
3 2 1 | # | 1 2 3
+---+
</pre>

You will have to reveal all the tiles in a 7x7 area to find the vein.

* ‘O’ the tile you prospected
* ‘X’ tiles that need to be mined out
* ‘#’ you

Note that I left 2 rows of tiles unmined between mined rows. This increases your chances of finding a 2nd vein that is beyond the reach of prospect. As you expand your mine, this pattern should be continued and expanded to reveal all the tiles in your mine's area.

:* Resulting [[dye]] will have three color values, red, green and blue.
:* R=255 G=255 B=255 is pure white.
:* You can combine [[dye]] and the values will average out (although they will be about 2 points closer to grey across the board).
:* The higher the quality is, the brighter and less grey the colour will be.
:* Dye and water cannot be mixed to make a paler dye.
:* The more difficult colours can not be made until after making some of the easier colours. Start with green, or maybe blue.
:* To get rid of unwanted dye just right click and select "Pour" (don't worry, it won't leave a stain).
:* When making dye with metal lumps, there is no need to heat them up first.

=== Usage ===
#Activate [[dye]]
#Right click on item, select Paint

You can paint building walls, chests, barrels, buckets, signs, carts, catapults, pottery, lanterns and statues. The amount of dye used depends on the item being painted:
