A lot of good has come from today (and also last night). And holy shit, are they good ones;
-Started making planks for the house.
-Had a Nahjo Priest come from Deliverance to cast 80 ‘Courier’ on my mailbox. Now B2 won’t have to go so far.
-Gave B2 prem(they still have the Prem + 5s option). Now he can drive my sailboat! No more rowboats for him!
-I now want a Cog for cross-server travel.
–Major update for Wurm. We now have spiral staircases, and a “Plot Course” option for boats that I can go to any border in Indy, and go to any of the servers! Now I can go due West from my house and be in whichever server I choose!! 😀 It’s also completely optional too! You can still cross-server to other servers the normal way.
-Major discount on the cost of mailing items. Now it only costs 1c instead of 10c for same-server mail, and 10c for cross-server mail. This is a lot more reasonable than before, when it took a whole silver to send all of my items to B2.
So, I’m going to keep making planks until either I get the house built, or Ghostofdeath logs in. I remember him telling me how he had a Corbita and a Cog in storage, and was “trying to sell them”.
While I was building the walls on my second floor, someone named “Jberg” started offering a “halter rope”. He explained that you can use this to lead up to four animals with it. That is a real boon for me, so I got one. And with the new courier enchant (from last night), it arrived in my mailbox in about 5 minutes. Not too bad.
Two other things happened after that. The first thing was this guy named “Daash” offering what he called a “Pocket Sun” lantern; a 91QL for only 1s, and already painted white. That’s a hell of a deal, so I bought two of them (one for me, and one for my alt for Christmas).
And the other, a person named “Masterthief” wanting to sell a Cog. I had said I was going to wait ’till either I got done and/or Ghost got on, but I went against my own words and asked him how much he wanted for it. Was 4s, and came with the lock and anchor.
Got my alt on and he drove me in my sailboat to Rockcliff for pickup. When we arrived, I noticed he wasn’t in my local. Felt like he tricked me and stated to get angered. We waited for a half an hour and he never showed back on, so we got back on the boat and tried to find another. This one, was a guy saying I would have to travel to Exodus, and didn’t want to give me the coords where he was at. Before he did, Masterthief logged back in (finally).
I asked him that I felt I should get a discount for him not being there, yet he refused; only offering “my bad i had to go”. I was forced to accept it, seeing how I came all the way out here and gave him the 4s. He gave me the key to the boat lock and turned perms over to me.
So I had B2 following me as I’m controlling this behemoth of a boat back home. Got stuck here and there, and especially in the Bay View Canal that we used as a shortcut to get to our destination quicker. Also being so high up, I could see the entire world.
From my alt’s point of view (on the other side of the canal), all you saw was this HUGE thing coming out of a tiny cave entrance. Was hilarious. The rest of the journey, I had to deal with a gale from the west. Going from 16km/h to 1km/h due to one tiny push of the controls was funny. I also had to zigzag back home. Hearing the wind roaring in my face when I had to re-position the boat was funny.
Got it home. Also learned that they changed the mechanic for the crow’s nest view. It’s no longer the first person that gets an amazing view up there as a passenger; it’s the second.
A slight unfortunate thing, but at least my alt can still enjoy the view up there when I’m driving that big ass boat.
And lastly before I wrap this up, I made a fountain after my 6th fail (19% chance, and had to drop everything I was carrying to pick up the shards). Now, we no longer have to run down to the shore to get our Water level back up. And it looks better than the well.
And I also got the second floor done of my house. For the 3rd (and to make the entire area a walkable surface), I was forced to re-build the floor just above the forge, to build another floor above that. Then I destroyed the previous floor with my maul. The plan worked perfectly, though I thought the game fucked me over when I was using my forge and everything in it refused to go past searing hot.
Thankfully that was just a glitch and was able to continue to make what I needed. Now I’ll be going to bed and hopefully finish off the 3rd floor (and the house) by tomorrow.
Still got to build the Storage Shed for my carts.
