Woke up (ingame), using the WurmClock of when it became morning. I tried to go around the mountain more than I did last night. I got 3/4 around instead. The south side is very dangerous. There’s no roads, and not a lot of places to walk. The terrain is angled, and I spotted a bear in the distance. Just too risky.
I picked a few more sprouts… and some fights with wolves. Also I learned why I felt why you can’t lead and ride your horse when in combat… it was because I was “too far away” from leading the horse (even though I was right fucking NEXT to it!) What a load of bullshit. But at least I know.
Anyway, I got five sprouts and found the tunnel. The way back down was of course faster (due to being downhill). Also, I asked if there was a way to reach the tip top of the mountain (the peak). Was told how “the gm’s don’t like people going up Dragon Fang Mountain”. Why is it so forbidden to reach the highest point of the server?
They said something about the GMs have something up there that they don’t want others to see. One said how I could make a ladder, but it’s possible to have it removed..while going up it.
Maybe it’s where their cursed Fog Machine is.
Got back to FM. Couldn’t find WoA on a sickle or a chisel, but I did find a bridle (which from what I’m told, I won’t need a rope anymore). This will give valuable (even life-saving) time to get on my horse.
Checked out Black Dog Isle next, crossing the bridge there. Not really much to see here.
I took the boat bridge to get back home. My first ever boat bridge. Each boat can be boarded as a passenger. The point of a boat bridge is to let your stamina regen (so you won’t drown). Had to keep re-leading my horse, and one time I was again “too far away”(even though I was right infront of it).
Back on dry land, I made it back home. If you were to tell me 5 years ago that I would make it to the summit of Dragon Fang Mountain, I’d call you insane.
I also learned from the maker of the WurmClock, that Wurm only has four days of Winter. So that means by December 13th.. it’ll be Spring. Which is impossible (as 5 years ago, there was snow on the ground and it was nearing Wurmxmas).
He said a few years ago, they forced it to be snowing on Christmas. Yet also reminded me how on the other side of the world (aka Australia), it’s Summer.

With DeedPlanner, I now know exactly how many planks and nails I’m going to need to build the 2nd and 3rd floors of my house. It’s a good thing I bought those high WoA tools when I did. Because I managed to make 46 planks in under 5 minutes (and that was from one Overaged maple).
I also need to start making the lamps I’ll need to get imped at this year’s Impalong. Do wish it was near FM like back in 2010, but what can you do?
