Wurmxmas IS HERE! 😀 So come on down to Freedom Market and receive a prem-only gift from the jolly one! A shock and behold when Christmas came earlier than expected.
Me and my alt are currently approaching the Southwest coast while heading over there as I speak, and can see Santa’s vertical smoke trail from here. Couldn’t see it from my settlement though.
Getting a gale, but it’s going southeast. Not good for my Corbita. A gale from the west however would help. So I took my sailboat instead.
As we’re going, Mrbloodworth is happily spawning dangerous hostiles at FM and talking about it in the Event tab, all having a Christmas theme to them.
As much as he finds these trololololoing antics funny, I’m quite concerned we’re going to get there, I’ll be at the market while my alt is with Santa, then a fucking bear pops up behind me, or him… or even both of us. That will put icing on the bad-tasting huge cake of pure anger I’ve been “cooking”.
This is why I’m taking my sword.. just incase. Surely he won’t leave us all for dead. But with Santa here now this is great for me. I’ll get my lanterns imped, hopefully get me a large maul, AND get my prem gift. Then we’ll go home earlier than expected.

Having fought the annoying southeast gale, I close in on the cave canal. Every now and then you see lightning strikes around the Santa smoke.
Going through the canal, I hit a huge load lag spike, almost like the client crashed. But I recovered and we got through the canal ok. Soon we got to the dock and left.
As we went up, people in local are screaming “GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!” I just ignored them until I saw a horde of zombies all named “Happy holidays Hug Zombie” slowly coming down the road. We both ran back to the boat (my reaction was alot more dramatic than “Ehh. Zombies. Back to the boat”. More like “OH FUCK!! RUN!!!”).
About a half an hour later all of the zombies were dead; dead enough both of us got back up the road to FM safely.
Once there I started checking the merchants for a large maul while my alt headed to Festival Cove with our lanterns to be imped. At FM, it’s true that Santa isn’t giving out gifts yet, but the buffet table is there. Eating from it causes all of your survival stats (Food/Water/Nutrition) to jump to 99%.
Very useful indeed. With Nutrition up to 99% and all of my fat layers back up, it’ll be a LONG while ’till my alt has to cook again. 🙂
As for the maul, I couldn’t find one. So I ask in Local and a guy named Tunes answers me, saying he’ll make one for me. A 70ql. I’m tickled pink and tell my alt to just grab the lanterns, nomatter what their ql is and meet me at FM so he can eat at the buffet table.
Back at the Impalong, they’ve been imped from 28ql to nearly 53ql, much higher than I could do.
I also gave my alt my sapphire, and told him “It’s Christmas. Just give it to them”, which I should had done before so I’m going to do it now. I can always find a higher ql gem by mining, and I was only going to get a measly 1s for selling it. These guys are doing a great service for all of us, so they deserve a thank you from Dragonhead.
After that, my alt ate at the table but we stayed on for awhile. I wanted to wait for the guy to make that maul and mail to me. But due to getting awfully tired suddenly, I went to bed.
