== Age Trees ==When it comes to [[tree]]s, age plays an important role in the yield of wood you will get from it. Tree and bush stages are: young, young, young, mature, mature, mature, mature-sprouting, old, old-sprouting, old, old-sprouting, very old, very old-sprouting, overaged, shriveled. To examine the age of a tree, right-click the [[tile]] the tree is on and examine it. The age will show up in the event window. The stage within each age will not show up. For example, a tree will only show Young in any of the three Young grown stages, not further information.

Age plays an important part Cutting down a young, mature, or old and shriveled tree will yield a very low amount of [[wood]] and will be a waste of a tree. The optimum time to cut down a tree is when is is old, very old, or overaged, with overaged yielding the most wood. Some overaged trees can be pruned to return them to very old status but still yield a high amount of wood. Shriveled trees are lost and will yield very low useful wood and cannot be pruned to maintain a useful age. Size of the log or felled tree yielded will vary depending on the exact stage the tree is in two parts of Wurm.<br>

Cutting down a young or mature tree will yield a very low amount of wood and will be a waste of a tree. Optimum time to cut down a tree is when it is either old, or very old. If a tree says it is shriveled then it will also yield a very small amount of wood.<br><brreferences/>

== Creatures ==When it comes to the ages of animals[[creatures]], the ages are Young: young, adolescent, Adolescentmature, Matureaged, Ageold, Oldand venerable. Creatures take several Wurm [[month]]s to reach the venerable stage. They will eventually die of old age, Venerablebut most species have extremely long lifespans. One [[huge spider]] was observed alive after over six months of real time. The older an animal getsfollowing table shows a good estimate of each stage's duration, [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/120560-length-of-time-for-each-horse-age/ based on some research and testing] for horses, the stronger it isbut could well be applicable for all creature types. {| class="wikitable"!

Aged animals have been reported to reach be the venerable fastest around, especially aged huge spiders; anything younger or older will be slower than aged. === Notes ===* [[Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2015#150626 Repair in Creation Window, Breeding changes on PvP|Foals on PvP servers age a lot faster]]* A [[Animal husbandry#Caring|cared-for]] animal will live longer (indefinitely) on its final age stage. ==See also==* [[Farming]] (ages and stages in crop growth)* [[Animal husbandry]] (provides info on care-for mechanic) [[Category:Babel/A]][[Category:Game mechanics]]
