Yesterday was a semi-productive day for me in Wurm. I finally stopped being lazy and pushed most of the crap around my deed, into the storage building. The reason is Darkoden said that Dragonhearts would be coming to his deed, to drop off some supplies. Incase the guy wanted to see my deed, I wanted it to look presentable at least. Also, for ones that don’t know, I’ve seen this person while sailing up and down the southern coast of Cele (but he’s always AFK).
Dark told me that he actually lives in Xan. Wow, so many people South of me from Xan. It’s almost as if I’m being given a warning not to go exploring that server (with people ‘fleeing’ the insane lag there).

Not to mention, I also got to build Tulsi a new shack. Forgot about that promise I made to him (after I got done with the redesign project).
Luckily, I still have some iron stored in a BSB. Though I prefer not to waste it on nails (and use lower quality ore). So all I need to do, is to stop being lazy and do it (the same thing goes to making a guard tower). And that, is easier said than done.
“Just trying to help”
Dragonhearts never showed up, sadly. Dark then suddenly decided that he wanted to help with the highway. I offered to help him (as that’s the neighborly thing to do). While trying to help him, I ran into a non-prem problem of not being able to level terrain from a certain height. I felt it was time to re-prem (paying nearly $20 for it.. ouch). But it was the only way to properly help him.
He reached a point where he was confused of where the highway would go. He said he had PM’d War, but got no response. I went with a more direct approach (by asking him in local). He came over to survey it, talking it over with Dark. He then saw the mine entrance that needed to be collapsed, and offered to bring a priest over to do it. Then he’s asking Dark if he wants to keep the road at the same level, or take it down to a lower level. And he chose the lower level option.
I tried to help out with this, but it was like I just kept getting in the way. They were exposing rock. I assumed that War wanted to surface mine it down (in order to build the road). So I started dropping dirt down to fill it back up (since he said he was done). Then he’s all “Dragon, don’t drop anymore dirt”. Okay. Fine. But neither one of them said to help them bring this or that down. Again, it felt like I was in the way. But this is what I get for not having ‘people skills’; used to doing everything on my own.
With the mine collapsed, I then offered to give them the two BSBs full of dirt I have. Dark said I could drop it, but he never really thanked me.
Feeling unappreciated, I then went over to Fooli’s place, and just stood there out in the open next to the token.. thinking if I stay there long enough, I could use “mind powers” to remove it and reclaim the mine.
Ended up falling asleep infront of my computer (while listening to Youtube videos), momentarily waking up to my screen nearly red with a troll whacking me in the back with its club. I tried to move.. with the wrong fucking keys (WASD instead of Arrow keys.. THANKS, VRChat!) Logged out for the night (knowing I would be dead in the morning), furious at myself for everything that has happened to me.
Such as, I should had picked somewhere on the coast (instead of next to dead deeds.. not thinking the original owner may or may not come back to get their deed rebuilt). The fact Wargasm was there, should had been a warning sign. The man has a LOT of influence on people.
The next day, I respawned back in my deed. Geared up, got on my fastest horse, and ran back to my corpse. The troll was nearby, but I was able to grab my corpse and make a run back for my deed. There, I tried to get revenge on the troll in honorable combat (no tower guards). I had it (Bleeding) before I had to run back into my deed and heal up (with 25% health left). After getting healed, the fucker tried to run away. It took awhile until I spotted it, and finished the fucker off.
Sadly, no troll mask after butchering. I then went on a murderous rampage, killing multiple mobs to the North. It. felt. good. But it will still never blow up Fooli’s deed (to build a 1×1 over the entrance, to prevent people from deeding it). For some reason, my brain thinks I need a mine NOW instead of later (even though something like the Impalong is many months away).
Also, most of my skills thankfully did not take a hit from the PvE death penalty (apart from Masonry). It’s actually a plus for having low skills– death isn’t as punishing as people who have 90+ in almost everything.
Upcoming Pristine Impalong (before August)
Speaking of Impalongs, there’s actually one coming in two months from now. This one (as the title says), is happening in Pristine. And luckily for me, it won’t be hard at all to access. It’s hilariously where I said “this would be perfect for an Impalong”. Little did I know, they were planning this even back then.
It’ll be held at Friendship Bay, between July 27th to the 31st. And I signed myself up as an imper (as it shows they’ll also welcome people that don’t have 70 in almost every skill). There’s no guarantee in two months from now, if I’ll be able to make it (health, etc). Hopefully I will. And hopefully before then, I’ll have access to a mine.
I do plan to make (and send with me) some more lamps. But this time, I’m going to imp them all the way to 50QL before I do (since my Mining is 50, thanks to last year’s Impalong).
