Today has been a busy day. Half of the trip had to be postponed due to getting that new terabyte hard drive installed in my system.<\/p>\n
But the trip started as I said. I left, but as the sun was setting. By the time I got to the vicinity of the Colossus Canal, it was pitch dark. Good thing for ‘night vision’ (aka Gamma control).
\nGot lost alittle bit, but got help finding the canal, and explored. First thing that surprised me when I got out of the other side of the canal was a champ scorp, who was pinned.<\/p>\n
Nothing else was interesting. Even having to drag my boat over the landbridge marked on the map. Except when I arrived at the island in the middle of Colossus Lake, called ‘The Republic of Shine’. There’s a ramp. At the end is a palisade door. Locked of course.
\nAlong the ramp are several piles of lockpics. It made me wonder if they were testing the security of the doors, or grinding.
\nIf it was allowed, and if I was evil, I would had taken a pile, and picked their lock and stole everything. Since I’m not evil, I left them alone.<\/p>\n
I also made it to the IKEA Market. It was inland, so I didn’t see it. Checked it out and noticed they had Scythes for 10c each. Bought one and headed back to my boat.<\/p>\n
After that, I headed back to sea, and then headed to Cliff Side. After having to stop for directions, I made it. Went up this switchback path. Along the path was a meal. A meal with no damage. Like it was recently cooked. And good quality. Of course I took it with me. Free meal!<\/p>\n
I finally got to the end of the path, which lead to the main road in and out of Samling. Following my compass, I followed it left and wound up at my destination, the Roadside Historical Site. I didn’t see anything ‘historical’ about it, though. But I found another scythe laying on a road outside of the settlement border. It was unfinished, but I took it with me, thinking angry might want it, then headed back to my boat.<\/p>\n
My next stop was to find the ‘dragons’. But was delayed due to what I said in the beginning of this entry. When I got back, I continued down the river. As I went down fog started developing, but never became a problem thankfully. I then left the river and went towards the two islands on the northwest corner of the server. One was boring, and the other had an awesome pier. Then I followed the west coast, south to the other islands, and to Dracos Tor. Though before I knew it, I had already passed that settlement, and didn’t feel like turning around. The two southwesterly islands, were pretty boring. Except the one that has a settlement named ‘Waffles, Pancakes, And French Toast’. Lining the island was a bunch of ‘Lava World storage shed ##’ houses, with alot of missing walls.<\/p>\n After that, I headed into Kinoss Bay, following the left coast first. I passed by PE, and stopped at the next destination; Solace. Why? According to the map, there’s a Troll King here. A live one. Behind me was the ‘gift shop’, and jokingly said if I could find a Troll King souvenir here to take home. After that, I headed further north until I arrived at a settlement that has an all-too familiar name in my Wurm life; ‘Akhenatan’. The home of Flinter. Never got to meet him, and his place is now more inland than it was before. After then I continued following the coast, now heading south. Stopped at Flinter’s Farm, a homestead (that’s owned by this ‘Ahkto’ person. Maybe one of Flinter’s alts?) So, this concludes DAY 1. Stay tuned for tomorrow for DAY 2. I should be heading back home by then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today has been a busy day.

\nFinally making it to the merchant row outside of Reborn, I did my best to follow the map and wound up in the settlement of Reborn. Again, got lost alittle bit and did my best to find the right road.
\nI passed by a small lake, and saw two roads going left and right. Using my compass and the map pointed me to the right way, and went up this long path with lots of Oak and Maple trees. As I was going up, I happen to move my mouse over the upper left part of my screen, and saw “Spike, MD’s<\/strong> and Drago’s<\/strong> tea cup palace”. I FOUND IT!!! At long last, I finally found it! Proof they live here! \ud83d\ude00
\nAlas, I never got the chance to shake their hands and see how they’re doing (they never logged on), but took pictures of this settlement they’re living in.
\nAnother noticeable feature is the large peat field infront of their village. Walked around and found some that were already dug up. Excellent quality. So I grabbed ten to remember this moment.
\nUnfortunately they weigh 10 kg each, making me carry 100 kg. Fortunately I never ran into a hostile, and easily got back to my boat and dropped the heavy peat in.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s possible it was up that path I saw, with a troll ‘guarding’ the bottom. And I rather keep myself medium damage-free.<\/p>\n
\nI was able to talk to a villager by the name of ‘Zivirit’. He showed me where this Troll King is. Inside this huge pen. Then I finally saw it…. “I expected him to be, kinda bigger.” I told Zivirit. He agreed and said that’s what everyone says. I expected a Troll King to be.. giant-sized. Bigger than a champ troll. And it was the size of a normal troll.
\nStill, you shouldn’t underestimate it. It can kill you with one blow of its club. Even a person with the best known armor would die.<\/p>\n
\nIn it had a bunch of named items, mostly belonging to a person named ‘Ryuu’. I’m guessing this person is the owner of Solace. Heard of the name before.<\/p>\n
\nParked my boat at this nice pier, which pretty much was my idea I wanted Elshar to do infront of his settlement, then walked up this three tile-wide path right into the village.
\nIMO, it sucks compared to the one in JK-H, but it had merchants. During my trip, I’ve had contact with angry who’s struggling to find a good place to meditate.
\nIn one merchant, they had a exquisite meditation rug for 1.5s, and 70QL. He jumped when I told him and asked if it was enchanted. Sadly, it wasn’t. But I told him I would buy it for him. He liked that idea.<\/p>\n
\nI then wrapped up DAY 1 of my trip by parking infront of ‘Midgard’, and logged off to focus my attention on this. I was afraid I would get ahead of myself.<\/p>\n
