Cheesy blog post title. Yes, it is. But there was a real miracle to the point I wonder if Rolf is Santa Claus. But first off, I’ve been busy assembling the pieces and building B2 that replacement boat. Was able to complete the lamps a lot quicker than I thought it would take.
\nI’m also going to (hope) that the impers will do some of my critically-needed tools (like the low QL carving knife I got from Ivan last year).<\/p>\n
I also have a new road map<\/a> of Indy, thanks to kchat. It’s really.. REALLY giving me that exploration itch (mainly due to it being more current than the one I had). This is good. This is what’s going to keep me active in Wurm more. But hopefully I don’t run into another one of these “there’s supposed to be a road here, yet I don’t see it” issues.<\/p>\n So back to current times. While I was attaching the tenons to the boat, I was watching what was going on in the world of Wurm (through kchat and Trade). The Trade channel alone caught my eye with someone wanting a price check on a Transmutation Liquid to.. turn Clay into Dirt. HELLO!! \ud83d\ude00 A few minutes later I stated what I wanted of this, and how bad I wanted to remove the clay pier. Was told things that surprised me. One said that I can actually dig down clay by digging at least 50 Clay. Another one said I could flatten it (with 70 Digging). Both suggestions had to wait, as I still had the boat to do. With this done and it being nightfall in Wurm, I dropped everything I wanted imped in my Knarr for transport on the 23rd(including a small mast I made for the rig). I hope to buy what everything I need for the rig at FM, and even build the rig there. And then either store it in the boat or mail it back to my deed. I told them my findings. Was told instead of flattening, to try Leveling. After being told how to get the option, I tried again and got the same message. It felt like the thing angry told me when he tried with his Fo priest; Tomorrow, the fucking thing WILL BE GONE!!! And with it gone, I can work on a proper boat dock for our boats (especially with the deed border covering the slip I have). Cheesy blog post title. Yes, it is.

\nInstead of freaking out over the possibility of FINALLY ridding myself of this clay pier that has haunted me since 2010, I casually asked if this was just a rumor. It wasn’t, but I continued to keep my cool and stated “it’s probably not cheap and going to take a lot to just turn one tile into dirt, right?”
\nThat is true. I also asked “do people sell these at FM?”, and was told they’re made to order if the need arises.
\nSo I kept the idea in the back of my head. With four days until Christmas, it would be too late to ask for someone to make as much as I need to remove the Clay once and for all.<\/p>\n
\nLater that day I finally had everything (that I could produce or already had the item) attached to the boat. All it’s missing is a single peg, the rig, and two thick ropes. All of these will have to wait ’till I get back from the Impalong.<\/p>\n
\nWent over to the clay and started digging with my high WoA shovel. When reaching 50 Clay.. it didn’t drop a level. Felt like I was lied to. Then I tried the suggestion of flattening. Got the “Some corners can’t be altered.” message. My Digging skill is 73.08; sufficiently high enough to do this.<\/p>\n
\n“Forever plagued…
\n…by clay.”
\nBut when all hope seemed lost…….., a Christmas miracle popped up in the form of a GM named Logi. I’m thinking “OSHI– a GM, HERE at Oceanside Retreat!! I’m not worthy!”
\nAnyway, after a few conversations back and forth of what I was trying to do, he showed me what I needed to do. And it’s actually quite simple. Stand on a perfectly flat tile, face the tile I want to level and make sure none of the slopes(the sides) are facing down.
\nIt’s pretty much “flatlowering”; the opposite of flatraising (but a LOT easier to work with). But instead of getting Clay once the action is completed, I get Dirt.
\nDepending on the steepness of the tile infront of me, the process can take as long as 10-15 minutes to complete. It’s quite time-consuming… but HOLY HELL IS IT WORTH IT!!! THIS IS FINALLY REMOVING THE CLAY PIER!!! \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
\nThis is… this is GREAT! I am so happy right now. Feel like I’m finally going to modernize my deed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
