Arowhun's Barrel
While Arowhun was a traveling worker on Freedom, he dropped his food barrel in the middle of the woods. It was found by Theflash, and Arowhun has been annoyed by his constant PM's over the last 3 years saying "I STILL HAVE YOUR BARREL :D". When Arowhun left, he asked Theflash to keep his barrel, and to pass it down to other people, and to explain his story when doing so.
Histories of Adventure and Challange
Arowhun was a mighty adventurer who ran through the Freedom wilderness, seeking fame and fortune through labor from 2009 to 2013. His claim to fame is that he got as far as he did in the game without paying a penny of real world money. The first thing he did after joining the game on the Island of Independence was ask "How do you make money?" Someone quickly responded by saying that he should find a job with someone, and that the town of Gustaberg was hiring. Arowhun then looked at his map, and saw that Gustaberg was across the Inner Sea from his location near Freedom Market.
He attempted three times to cross the sea, but he failed each time. At first he tried swimming, but he made it 9 meters from the other side before drowning. Then, he tried walking around south from Freedom Docks, past the town of Water's Edge. He had to stop walking that way when the coast-side road turned into a vertical slope. Finally, Arowhun looked at his map closely, and north of him at Black Dog Isle, he saw a dotted line on the map labeled "boat bridge". He had no idea what this was, but he guessed it was a way to cross.
Arowhun made his way north, past the towns of Liberty and Nuclear Waste Silo. At this time, the island of Independence was overpopulated and busting at its seems. Because of this, the slums around The Howl were massive and confusing. Arowhun got stuck between slopes, fences, and decaying hovels before he decided to give up and try something else (this was right before Deli was added. Deli eased the congestion greatly). He made it up to Black Dog Isle, but he failed to see where the "boat bridge" was. Instead, he went back to The Howl and started asking if any villages were accepting new people.
Arowhun recieved a message from Tenderwolf, who recruited him into his homestead deed named "The Wolf's Den" with an alt, and Arowhun then suicide-ported to his deed. It was a wonderful place on a steppe next to a lake. Tenderwolf was building a farm by flattening a giant hill, and he had a pet greenish dog to keep him company. Arowhun loved the location, but when Tenderwolf logged off, Arowhun was alone. He hated this so much that he suicide-ported back to The Howl to ask for another town. At this point, Arowhun came to the conclusion that for now on, he will make sure he is living around other people. Otherwise, it wouldn't be nearly as fun as it could be.
Arowhun was soon recruited by someone that wanted to found a new town in the East, just west of The Western Wall. Instead of suicide porting this time, Arowhun was boated over across the Inner Sea. He was then led with a group of other new players deep into the woods. He walked past the impressive desert Nation of Grizlam, and hilariously, his group walked right through Gustaberg. It was an amazing experiance for Arowhun to be in the woods when the token was dropped, and to be there as the trees were cut down and the land was flattened. The town of Stonewood Pass is still Arowhun's favorite part of his adventure. He saw the town form from nothing, and the whole process fascinated him. He went out exploring, and he ran into the massive castle of Plunder Hold. He asked his mayor about it, and the mayor said it was built by someone all on his own, and that the person had been there for a very long time (he is still there today, and I'm writing this in 2013). The group aggreed that every villager has one 2x3 house. The mayor hired someone to come and build some of the brick buildings, and this interested Arowhun greatly. He thought that maybe he could copy this person's profession, and use the money he earned to get premium. So, when Arowhun's house was finished, he asked for a storage shed, and he made a store sign next to his house that said "Arowhun's Mason Shop". He planned on making bricks in the town's mine, storing them in his house, then carting them to the coast and boating them over to buyers. His plans of doing this never worked out, because he couldn't use boats as f2p (f2p could drive large carts back then)
Arowhun was eager to explore the massive island of Independence (known simply as "Freedom" at this time, because Deliverance and Exodus weren't added yet), and he found a fence ladder to get to the middle ring of Dragon Fang. He jumped off from the top and survived without a scratch (fall damage wasn't added yet).
Behind Stonewood Pass was an archery range designed by one of the villagers, and behind that was a vertical rock slope. The instant Arowhun saw the mountain, he wanted to get to the top. More experianced people in the town warned that there could be something terrible on top, like a dragon or kyklops (this person didn't know all the uniques on the island were already Penned or killed). In order to climb up, Arowhun and some of the other villagers climbed up 15 metters, mined inward and created a small cave, and then repeated. They used each cave on the way up to regain their stamina to go up further. Their process of creating this crude ladder was interrupted when their path was blocked by a starving champion brown bear. The creature was very frightening to Arowhun, so he stayed far away from it. One of the villagers shot arrows at it with his longbow, and the bear was lured down. The group ganked up on the bear and killed it. Then they butchered it and shared the meat in a meal of celebration. After a few more days of building the ladder the cliff turned into dirt so they could sadly climb no higher (they didn't realize that they could have built fences).
Some people in the town decided that they didn't like the forest, and he wanted to copy Nation of Grizlam by creating a desert. This angered Arowhun and a few of the other villagers, because they really enjoyed the forest. Arowhun had to quit the game for a few months, so he never saw what resulted of this dispute. When he returned, he found the town abandoned, with a sign that said "ranoutofmoneyhadtoleave" in the middle of the unfinished desert(the small desert project is still there, and you can see it on the Independence map north of Gustaberg. Stonewood Pass was directly east of that desert, hugging the mountain.).
Saddened that he couldn't find any of his old friends, Arowhun returened to The Howl to ask for a new village. Again, Tenderwolf replied. This time, Tenderwolf had a bought the town of Casteli Nemi, which was right next to his homestead deed "The Wolf's Den". The area looked dramatically different from when Arowhun was there last, and in fact he didn't realize Tenderwolf was the same guy that accepted him before until he realized the water front dock looked familiar. Tenderwolf kept up his deed without money from out of game, which urged Arowhun to ask how he did it. Tenderwolf showed Arowhun how he farmed, and how the nearby deed of Fospital needed crops to its Fo priests to pan fill with. The neighboring deed bought all the surpluss crops that Tenderwolf produced, and Tenderwolf also left periodically to do jobs.
Casteli Nemi is in south eastern Independence. In the times when Arowhun lived in the town, the citizens were Iskrillex, Merfin, Raykow, Tenderwolf, and his alt Sniperwolf. They were a happy community, and Arowhun was given a house from a previous villager so he didn't have to build his own. Arowhun soon got bored, and decided to climb the nearby mountain of Sharfin Peak in order to see the red dragon said to be on the top. Arowhun ran down the Coast of Elysian bay, and died several times to mobs. It was at this time that Arowhun learned his legendary techniques of mob avoiding. He would huddle all the aggressive creatures stalking him together in a tight pack, and then he would swim away to safety. The only problem was when he was chased by the occasional bear or crocodile, but at these times he would simply run for it, because on a road he could outrun them (as long as he didn't run out of stamina). These techniques remained very useful to Arowhun in the future.
After much practice, Arowhun decided to use a row boat in order to skip the mob-covered coastline and start right from the mountain. He would climb up until a mob started chasing him, and then he would lure it down the mountain, and then swim to safety and start climbing again. This process took a long time, but he eventually made it to the town of Magus Volar, the half way point up the mountain. The remainder of his climb was easy, because it seemed someone had hunted there recently and cleared away the mobs. At the very end of the road, Arowhun found a cave tunnel, which went all they way up to the grassy top of the mountain. He realized that he wasn't alone after he noticed Elite arguing with someone else in local. Arowhun had in fact ran into a dispute over the red dragon, which was pened up in the town of Elysian Heights. Elite had bought the town and the dragon that was in it, but he wasn't focused on the game and failed to repair the walls around it. The dragon broke free and began wandering around the mountain, but Elite thought this wasn't a big deal. However, a visitor to the mountain noticed the dragon was free, so he took the opportunity and placed his own deed on a corner of the mountain peak, and he penned in the dragon for himself.
The person who penned in the dragon thought Arowhun was an alt of Elite that he would use to attempt to glitch into his deed somehow to somehow take the dragon back, so he put a KoS on Arowhun and he was trapped on top of the mountain. Arowhun tried running through the deed to safety, but he got so injured that he ran back before he was killed and looted. He called a GM, and the GM forced the person to lift the KoS so Arowhun could get out. Elite then healed Arowhun with his Fo priest, and the guy who stole the dragon let Arowhun get into the outer layer of the dragon pen so he could see it. As Arowhun climbed back down the mountain, both parties spammed him with PM's claiming that "they were the rightful owners of the dragon." Arowhun believed Elite's tale over the other guy, and Arowhun found out later that Elite was given the dragon back somehow, and then he had it killed in a slaying event with some of his friends.
Arowhun heard about the upcoming Kyklops slaying on Deliverance, and he convinced Iskrillex and Merfin to join him. Deliverance was just added a few months before, and Arowhun had never left Independence before. The group had a good time, but they all were flattened by the Kyklops, so they had to respawn in Green Dog. Confused and without a compass, they got split up and Arowhun accidentally went to the southern coast instead of the northern one. It took 6 hours before Merfin and Arowhun met back up at Tristan, the port town where the warriors from all over Freedom met up to kill the beast. (Kyklops slaying vid here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_pevHmePSU) Iskrillex had logged off so he was left behind, but Tenderwolf went over the very next day to pick him up. After this, Arowhun began doing a few traveling work jobs by making bricks for Icerns in Anchorage and Sklo in his unfinished event center on Deliverance. Arowhun then left the game for a few months.
When Arowhun came back, he joined Royal Oak on the Eastern Coast of Independence. Thunderstruck, an old warrior who was once the most feared BL back in beta, was the mayor. He hilariously had changed his ways, and cherished his oak trees on his deed and said he would "KoS people if they were cut down." I guess even BL need to retire eventually...
In Royal Oak, Arowhun made new friends. They went out together to loot abandoned deeds, including the ruins of old Hermitige on Hermit Isle. Arowhun then went out to do some more jobs for money on Independence and Deliverance. He realized boat was the only way to travel out of the deed, because the few roads through the mountains next to the deed were dangerous and covered with mobs. One day, Arowhun led back a massive horde of over 15 spiders and a mountain lion, and he got them all stuck in Thunderstruck's copper mine. Thunderstruck and the rest of the village had to work together to cast pilar spells to kill them all so the mine was usable again. He loved Royal Oak, but he realized that the deed was in such a secluded location that he wasted too much time going back and forth between jobs. It is at this time that Arowhun finally got his first premium time done, so his account was finally solidified as permanent and he could grind skills for a month. He bought some tools at Puzzle Plaza on Deliverance, some made by Eyesgood, who will be mentioned again later on. Arowhun decided to move to a deed on Deliverance, so he left and said goodbye to his friends.
On Deliverance, Arowhun joined Gallifrey under Odynn. Odynn's group was originally from the town of Krondor, but the original mayor of the town left without giving the settlement form back, so the town was covered with houses that couldn't be removed. However, the group still kept krondor up and running by paying upkeep because they still used the farms on the deed and some of the houses. (Krondor is still running to this day, even though the mayor is nowhere to be seen). Odynn noticed how Arowhun frequently left and was rarely around his town, and this annoyed him. He told Arowhun that he wasn't doing enough work to live in his town, so Arowhun went to the coast of Bear Lake in order to dig him a cart full of clay for his deed. When Arowhun returned, Odynn kicked him out of his deed, so Arowhun took the horses, cart, and clay with him when he left. Arowhun gave the horses and cart full of rafts of clay to a person he met on the road for free of charge. Odynn's alliance then KoS'd Arowhun, and it wasn't until later that he was told that they thought he had stolen something. Odynn and Arowhun have made up now, and they are on good terms.
After this incident, Arowhun lived on the road entirely. He went to visit Elysian Heights again, and he found out that the dragon was dead and the deed was pretty much abandoned. In the mine tunnel, he found a 70ql ruby. He went back to Casteli Nemi, and Raykow traded him a row boat for the ruby named "The Emerald Arrow". This boat then became Arowhun's ride throughout his adventures of looting abandoned places, doing jobs at people's deeds, and delivering items that can't be mailed. He has become a decent merchant, and he buys and sells items for profit.
There was one time when Arowhun was walking down the road looking for work, and he ran into a group of individuals pushing a rare loom down the road. Curious, he asked them where they were going, and they said that they were "pushing it from the north coast to the south coast". Without a complaint, Arowhun joined in, and pushed the loom with them for 5 hours before he had to log off. He heard that some of the others had been pushing for 7 hours strait, just so they could get the loom in their deed on the southern coast.
Arowhun eventually got tired of this lifestyle, and he looked onward towards the PvP at Chaos. He really wanted to become a priest of Magranon to fight. He realized that as a traveling worker, it would be impossible for him to grind the required skills do this, so he looked for another option. He ended up making a contract with Xiled in his deed Olive Lake Resort on Olive Lake on Exodus. Arowhun acted as Xiled's priest alt, and in return Xiled payed his premium. While Arowhun was there, Xiled wasn't online much so he became lonely. Every day, Arowhun would groom the 28 horses and cows Xiled had on his deed, till his 75ish tiles of farm, grind up his faith, and then if he had time left, he would grind channeling or locksmithing. Arowhun planned to evenutally use the crops he was gathering to grind HFC and Soul Depth, so his mag priest spells could be very powerful. Though Arowhun was bored and lonely, he made a few new friends in this time. Neighbors of Xiled's deed included Ajano and Trikul, two individuals that had their own homesteads on the lake. The three would sometimes go out to the Great Northern Desert to hunt, and they sometimes went to other places like Tundra Mountain. Arowhun had a lot of fun with these two, and it was defiantly a bright spot in his Wurmian career.
Arowhun had a small adventure, where he scoured the entire server in search of a path of power tile. First, he went to Wolf Island, where Shrimpiie said he knew of a power spot. However, the spot proved to be just a packed tile of dirt and nothing else. Xsamuraizx helped Arowhun by directing him to a deed on the Calhadras Mountain, called Hall of Legends. This mountain top deed was the most amazing deed Arowhun had ever seen, because it wraped around the peak of the mountain and had a completely flat area with farms, houses, and even a tree and animal farm. Behind the deed was a small forest on the edge of a shear cliff, and in the end of the forest was a power tile. Arowhun came back here often to go up a level in his path.
After a few months of grinding at Xiled's place, Arowhun grew incredibly bored. Grinding, he thought, was the least fun thing he could be doing. Because of this, Arowhun talked with Xiled, and he agreed to let Arowhun go. Arowhun then stopped playing for a few months.
