Thanks to Vorg getting all the trees, and those three keel sections, I was able to finish building all the parts before I went to bed. All I had to do now is assemble the boat.
The next day, I started to do that. Angry and Anayy are away from Vorgon, searching for mines. I told them if they find any steel, then maybe one of them can make me a Steel and Flint where I won’t have to ask them for one.
They find this road and start to explore it, then running into a bunch of hostiles up there. Yet they stay alive enough to come back as I busy adding my last ten Tenons to complete the boat.
Soon it’s ready and I prep the boat for launch by taking the cart down to the water’s edge, then went back up to get the stern and a few pieces.
Read in the Wurmpedia that when it comes to building a boat in a cart, which is what I’ve been doing, is leave a peg or something. I wondered what it meant. Yet when I attached the Stern to the boat, the boat didn’t fall out. So I don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.
But soon, the Little Dragonhead was born. I pulled the cart back and took the boat out for a spin to make sure it was seaworthy. I also got a few pictures behind me to prove to myself “I did it!! I LEFT VORGON!!”, then turned around and parked it.
I knew now all I would need is a mooring anchor since we didn’t have any known lead veins, that’s going to be a problem.
Seeing how it was also getting dark, I took this time to imp my new boat. I got it from 10 QL to 30 QL.
Meanwhile, angry was exploring around, and then says he found a mine that has a lead vein in it. I jumped when I heard that, telling him we can make anchors with it.
I thought he was going to mine some. Instead it turned into me being lead by him to the mine and showing me the vein, and saying he will make anchors if I mine the ore. 😛
I didn’t have a pickaxe with me, and knew I would need a cart. The problem is, this lead mine is in a deep shaft that’s a part of the other mine. The only way up is to climb the steep shaft to get to the main caves.
I knew if I brought the cart down, and loaded it up with oars and tried to make it back, would be completely impossible. So I tried it another way by leaving the cart up in the main mine, then I would pickup a few ores and walk up the shaft and drop them in the cart.
When I had about 13 ores, I noticed the time (have to eat) and told angry to please take over for me. He said “k” and I left.
When I got back, there was still.. 13 ores. Angry didn’t do SHIT to ‘take over’ for me. I kinda gave him hell, but knew he was AFK so continued my mining.
Finally I got my 40 ore, then carried 2-3 ores at a time up the rock wall to the cart, while paying close attention to my Stam bar. Then went back to Vorgon with them with no problems.
I told Anayy what I did, and he offered to take over making the anchors. I accepted his offer since he’s the only one that has a steel and flint (couldn’t light the forge without it).
Angry finally came back from AFKland, dropped a bucket and started meditating to it. I raised an eyebrow and walked over to the bucket. Looked inside and saw it was some kind of cotton meditation rug.
Anyway, I gave him a few good slaps across the face for going AFK on me. But Anayy finally got an anchor made. I told him since I have 18 Ship Building skill, I should be the one to make the anchor.
He has just over 20. So I gave him the two mooring anchors I got from Vorg, and he was able to make a mooring rope easily and gave it to me.
So now all I need to do is find a steel and flint. I told angry and Anayy that I’ll just ask in kchat. Kinda wish I didn’t though.
Asked if anyone that lives by the shore selling a flint and steel (I accidentally got it in reverse). They started treating me like a noob and shit, and one even decided to pick on my name. I forgot that kchat, while sometimes helpful, can also be full of dicks.
Or I should had just rephrased my question to “Is anyone selling a steel and flint?”
But one of them helped me out by mailing one. Angry told me Vorg has a mailbox. But when I looked, I couldn’t find it. I had to hop on my new boat and go to Port Eminence. When I arrived at the port, I noticed one of the huge boats there, built by Acesfury. Asked angry is this the ‘Ace’ person he’s waiting for, and he said yes.
I remember this guy. He was in kchat back in JK-H.
Anyway, I found the mailbox. Nothing in it. Waited for what I think is a good 5 minutes, then checked again. Finally it arrived. With it paid for I wonder what I was going to do now.
Also, I found out angry doesn’t have a place to live… he’s thinking of settling down on the island that’s on the Northeast corner of the map. The one with mountains covering about 75% of the shoreline.
Anyway, I made my way back to Vorgon with no problem. And the rest is pretty much.. nothing to talk about. I’m still planning to set sail towards Samling.. just for the hell of it.
I’m not sure when I’m going to sail around the server. This time it’s a bit more.. complicated. Because the server is sort of separated by water (if you want to count the Cave Canal the diving line), with settlements lining it.
I also don’t know if I’m going to get to where the ‘dragons’ live. The only thing I know is MD doesn’t own the village. There’s always the possibility they could be living inland. There’s alot of deeds not marked on the map.
