Description

Decay is the erosion of items and manmade structures in Wurm. There are several ways to reduce decay.

Decay rates

  • Deeds decrease decay on walls of any kind by 10x, if the upkeep is higher then 7 days.
  • Deeds stop the decay on walls of any kind if the upkeep is higher than 30 days.
  • Kingdoms reduce wall decay by 2x.
  • Non-kingdom zones have no reduced decay.
  • Normal decay will rot (wood only?) a 20 quality house wall in 1 month.
  • Houses reduce item decay by ?.
  • Containers will reduce decay by 2x.
  • Items made out of cedar wood decay slower. However, containers made out of cedar do not reduce the decay of its contents any more then a non-cedar container would.
  • Pottery reduces decay by about x1.5, depending on the quality.
  • Backpacks reportedly have a slight reduction on decay of items in them.(verification needed)
  • Stacking a container inside another container does NOT help; neither do containers in the inventory.
  • Raw materials (clay, dirt, logs, rocks, etc) decay faster then finished materials (weapons, tools, etc.)
  • There is a 2-day period of no decay after a wall is finished.
