Description

A gift box with nice decorations.

Ability to create item removed from game, see here: http://www.wurmonline.com/2014/01/08/slew-of-bugfixes/

The gift box was a player-made gift that could be addressed to other players.

Creation/Wrapping Method

• First, activate a wood scrap, right-click the item to be wrapped into a present, and select "Wrap". Next, 'rename' the gift box with the name of the recipient. The gift itself will then carry the name: "From [creator] to [receiver]".

• Wrapping Event Text:

You start to wrap the <item> in a nice package. You will have to destroy the package to retrieve it afterwards.
You create a box side.
You create another box side.
You create yet another box side.
You create the last box side.
You create a bottom.
You create a top.
You paint the package.
You add some decoration and put the <item> in it.

Additional Notes

• To open the gift box, right-click it and select "Open". Opening will destroy the box, while just the contents will remain. Only the named recipient or the creator can open the box in this way.
• Players with long names were reported to have problems opening the box. It wass therefore suggested that players experiment with the process before wrapping something of considerable value.
• The gift box is created at a quality of 99. It decays slowly over time, and it cannot be repaired or improved.
• The gift box will always say, "It is made from birchwood", despite the wood scrap type used in creation.
• Items unable to be gift wrapped include: wood scrap, edible items, ores, lumps, rock shards, and leather.
• Gift boxes will not burn if placed in a fire, forge, or oven. However, players can use a gift box as fuel.
• Players can destroy a gift box in a trash heap, along with its contents.
• Gift boxes can no longer cross server borders, either via ship, or through the mail.
• An examine action performed on some of the gift boxes will then refresh them and allow the intended recipient to open them.
