Description

A lava tile comes from lava eruptions, which are extremely rare natural events and happen only on rock tiles, or when created by a follower of the Path of Power. Lava flows downhill, and its path can be changed by terraforming in front of it.

Lava is the most dangerous tile in Wurm. It has the potential to kill in seconds if stood on it. Stay away or expect damage and potential loss of items and corpses!

Erupt

  • Follower of Path of Power level 7 receive the ability to erupt lava tiles and freeze back to rock tiles.
  • Can not erupt on non-allied deed. When trying, you will see the message: Some psychological issue stops you from spawning lava here.
  • Erupt spell cannot be used on a tile next to a cave entrance

Notes

  • Lava fiends and lava spiders spawn on lava tiles.
  • Lava dries up over time and changes back into rock, raising its slope by a tiny amount.
  • Lava affects the whole 'column' of rock on which it sits, meaning it will appear underground as a 'lava wall' in line with the surface tile.
  • Lava walls in caves are not harmful if touched. They act like a solid wall and you cannot pass through them. Also, if you try to mine the wall it will give the message The rock is too hard to mine.
  • Priests of Magranon with above 40 faith and 40 favor receive the ability to walk on Lava tiles without taking damage.
  • A lava tile cannot be created on tiles adjacent to a settlement token.
