Well, my journey in wurm continues well.

I am no longer starving, as I taught myself how to cook, and built a large supply of meals.

My stats are going up steadily, with an exception of smithing and combat, as I can't rightly do either of those until I 1) find an iron vein behind my house 2) create a decent weapon. I've been mining into the mountain behind my shack for some time, and I've gotten about 110 rock shards deep into it, which is about 3 tiles, or 6 metres.

My main problem is time. This game takes a lot of time, and though I thought I could finish my stone wall around my land today, I failed to do that. I have 22 sections of wall surrounding my 6x4 plot of land (minus 2 for the front and side gate, of course), and only 11 are fully done, while 11 of them are 10% completed, which means I am 55% done with my wall.

I would have completed it, but I was starving for the first four hours of play, and my masonry and mining were fairly lower, meaning it was taking me longer to mine the rock and put the wall up.

As for the house itself, it's not built yet. I have a shack off to the side which is done, but the house just plain isn't started. I don't have the carpentry skill to build it.

I also spent a considerable ammount of time building up ingredients to cook with, and looking for some potatoes and cotton.

Significant achievements include making a fishing rod of almost 10 quality, and managing to fish myself up about 25 fish, and filleting half of them. So, basically, after I finished my fishing rod, things were good, and building continued as normal.

Now, the making of a frying pan was also pretty big today. I made a frying pan, but I didn't make a large anvil, which is required to make a frying pan. I had to borrow one. Now, I know what you are thinking, but it really was just borrowing it. I stuck the iron in my campfire, but it wouldn't stay malleable long enough to take the iron on a 15 minute walk to the large anvil that I had seen two days earlier, just sitting in a cave.

So, I hitched up my cart, and went down to the cave, and loaded up the anvil into it, then lugged the 50kg peice of junk back to my homestead. Which, was alltogether fun. Then, I made the frying pan, and took the anvil back down to the cave I found it in, and put it back safely.

It would have been so much easier to just steal it, because I need like, six more frying pans, and I haven't had time to make a forge on my property yet.

Tomorrow I plan to build the last 11 walls, make a bunch of real meals, and not just casseroles, and then start making a forge. I don't know if I'll finish it, but it'll be fun either way. Then, I'm going to start farming some potatoes once my property is fully enclosed, and start collecting lumber to build more planks for the BYOND village with.


Again, we have a group of 5 people who are currently looking to create a village, all from BYOND. Give WURM a shot, we really want to make a full village, it's a great game if you have a little patience, and like building things, meaning if you are here, you would probably like it. BYOND users are invited to give it a shot, and help us create a village.
