When it comes to [[trees]] age '''Age''' plays an important role in the yield two parts of wood you will get from it.The age of a tree goes Young, Mature, Old, Very old, Overaged. To examine the age of a tree, right click the tile that the tree is on and examine it, the age will show up in the event box.[[Basic Knowledge|Wurm]]:

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.

The optimum time to cut down a tree is when is is old, Maturevery old, Agedor overaged, Old, Venerablewith overaged yielding the most wood. Animals take several months Some overaged trees can be pruned to reach the venerable stagereturn them to very old status but still yield a high amount of wood. Animals Shriveled trees are lost and will eventually die of old yield very low useful wood and cannot be pruned to maintain a useful age, but most species have extremely long lifespans. One [[huge spider]] was observed alive after over six months Size of real timethe log or felled tree yielded will vary depending on the exact stage the tree is in.

Creatures take several Wurm [[month]]s to reach the animalvenerable stage. They will eventually die of old age, but most species have extremely long lifespans. One [[huge spider]] was observed alive after over six months of real time. The following 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, but could well be applicable for all creature types. {| class="wikitable"!

Aged animals have been reported to be the 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)
