Day 5. Final day, and MUCH much quieter weather-wise. There are two last places I want to visit before it’s time to leave for Pristine. Though the first place (a road that claims that goes through the mountains toward the East coast) is a bust because it doesn’t exist. That, and I’m getting that “WILL YOU ALL FUCK OFF?!?!” attitude with mobs again. And that was just getting to that first place.
From where I left off, I had to swim through a bay because of how steep the terrain is to a deed. This deed was secured and I had to walk around it. Finally got on the main roads.
I go the wrong way and head to the Northmere Bridge. When I finally realize it, I cross the bridge and start going though this landmass on the south side of the lake. Mobs start to flank me before I can make sure I’m going the right way. I cannot stop, running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Trolls everywhere. To make matters even worse, my parents come home and want in the house while I’m being chased BY EVERY FUCKING MOB IN THE GAME(besides Champs/Rift mobs/Uniques)..somehow I find myself on the East side of the lake. Gggggoooodddddd that was insane!! Was able to let my parents in the house as their hands were full of stuff and couldn’t use their keys.
This is all because of the whole re-imping armor thing (posted this thing on the Wurm forum about the entire ordeal..which is currently down ATM).
So it was off to see the second area of interest. This one looks like a possible road leading up to the mountain range on the Northwest coast. Had to set up camp in the Steppe area before crossing back over the Northmere Bridge(to go eat). Next Solrise I’m on the East-West highway on the North side of ‘The Gulf of Funk’ and ‘The Salsa Straits’..who the heck came up with the names of these? They’re awesome!
I’m now approaching the mountain range. Someone named ‘Turnips’ is in my Local. As I’m trying to see where the entrance of this thing, the person calls for guards and has an ven troll to deal with. Being the nice guy I am, I run to assist. I soon meet the person driving a large cart (while I too have mobs after me).
This lady (playing a female character at least) seems to feel my pain about the number of mobs on this server, and even feels this questionable thing of people enjoying hunting mobs. How… can you enjoy damaging your gear and re-imping? Maybe their brain is wired differently. That, or mine wasn’t wired right. It definitely wasn’t taught the value of hard work and effort.
Finally found the entrance to the mountain range. It’s infront of a scene of beautiful rolling hills of Moss tiles. There’s an abandoned deed here, but all of its walls are still up. The way to the peak is behind this thing, forcing me to walk around it while on my horse. Thank goodness no mobs were anywhere around me as I was doing this. Got up on the ‘peak’, but not the actual peak. It was limited, but still pretty good. I know not every mountain is going to have a mind-blowing 360* view due to trees and terrain.
And with that, I felt that was it. I was ready to leave. But then I decided to head up this other hill that’s south and west of the Moss biome. Had a lot of resistance of hell hounds, spiders, bears, and trolls that I had to dodge (or kill). This lead me up to a rather unique, small deed named “Restless”. It looked like it was carved into the mountain here. Must’ve taken a long time to do. I was able to enter the deed and take a look around. Nearly all the doors are opened to the public, and I’ve also been seeing a recurring theme with bridges leading to the second floor of a structure. I’ve always found these odd since Deli, but now I know what they’re used for. You can’t drag or ride anything up stairs, yet you can use a bridge to get to the upper floors. Quite ingenious.
Saw a sign pointing to the East to ‘Death Valley’. Ohh GOODY!! 😀 Yet I have news for you, sign. This entire server has been ‘Death Valley’ for me (mobs = KILL PLAYER)! Still followed the sign, then I got horribly lost (with more mobs chasing me).
Alright, mobs… I’ve had enough of seeing your ugly faces. You want me off this server? You win, because I’m outa here (and to YOU, hell hounds? FUCK you, you flaming multi-attacking assholes)! And then I made my way back to my boat. To make sure I would leave, they still persisted in chasing me.
Finally made it back with a wolf chasing me. Try to tame the horse, and it actually gets angry at me and starts attacking. Tried to run away, yet I’m still leading it. End up walking into the aggro radius of the wolf. Final wolf death by me. Eventually I got the horse tamed, got my stuff off, and then lead it over to the 1×1’s and allowed a spider to feast on it. Now that spider is going to be fat, because that horse was. But who cares? I don’t need it anymore. It’s outlived its purpose. I’m not a monster. 😛
.
Now because Day 5 ended so early, I’ll be going back home and washing my armor and axe to get all the dried blood off and wait ’till tomorrow. Not to mention I’ll have to pay someone upwards to 5s to re-imp everything. Though I think when I go to Pristine, I’m going to use my Chain set this time (as from my testing, Chain works better than Plate against trolls…and I’m NOT going to be told otherwise).
Though the question is, when, if ever, will I get myself a set of Dragon Scale(which I hear is the best armor set in the game)? Honestly, I doubt that’s even possible (since you can only get the material from..well, slaying dragons(and hope the RNG is in your favor)).
