New Festival Cove

EDIT: On November 14, 2019, Thicket and Vooch decided that our v3 (version three) for creating docks at New Festival Cove will be to remove 4 tiles from each of the docks at Northernmost border. We’re doing this to prevent large ships from decaying if they parked on the tip of one of the Northernmost docks. The v3 design will also improve safety by reducing the footprint. Vooch will upload the v3 design (currently, the v2 design is the pic above) at a future date.

Originally published August 2019:
New Festival Cove is embarking on an enormous project: creating docks in very deep water.

Creating a project like this requires a very, very large number of dirt and sand. We prefer sand because it can prevent marsh tiles from appearing in the water.

Marsh tiles require wooden boards to be placed upon them before any subsequent leveling can occur, so it’s best to drop sand in the water while expanding the dock area.

As you can see in the picture above, we’ve penciled in the areas where docks should appear in the game.

I was hoping to meet up with Lorptahs this weekend, but he got an alert about wildfires in his area (Australia) so he had to go. Because of the wildfire situation, he also said he doubts he will be able to return to Wurm Online for at least the next 3 days. We wish Lorptahs the best during this very tough time.

To all rescue personnel around the world, such as our buddy, Lorptahs, we salute you, and we thank you for your service!

Thicket has suggested a super cool idea. Recreating the “Overlook Lodge” from the movie, “The Shining” in Wurm Online.

We’ve got the perfect spot for it, but we’re working out the logistics first: getting the dirt leveled off in the area… thinking about the design (1st floor stone, 2nd floor timber/wood, 3rd floor on one end, timber wood….it’s a hotel with different heights, but it looks like it’s gonna be a lot of fun to design!

We’re planning to have Overlook Lodge / Free Hotel available at our October 2020 Impalong.

On the second floor on the New Festival Cove Inn, sits “The Filthy Stag Tavern”, which has been in operation for over six months.

The tavern was named in honor of Vooch’s friend Minerva, who runs “The Filthy Stag Tavern”, in the game ShroudOfTheAvatar.com.

And, regarding enchants and skill gains, consider this:

Another person says, the “Blessing of The Dark” enchant working interesting because it increases stamina drain when your stamina is high. It goes lightning fast (and you get little skill), but if your stamina is low, it really goes slow, and you get more skill.

[12:01:06] <Vooch> just saw a guard staring straight into the face of the statue of Tich
[12:01:40] <Cybersnake> didn’t screen it?
[12:01:51] <Vooch> i tried, but i think i missed. i’ll check.
[12:02:40] <Vooch> i missed it by a second or two
[12:03:14] <Vooch> by the time i took the pic, the guard was staring at me.
[12:05:50] <Cybersnake> whops
[12:07:16] <Vooch> i guess that makes it double spooky
[12:07:30] <Cybersnake> haha yes it does
[12:08:20] <Cybersnake> maybe it was tich herself checking things out and didnt like you spotting her
[12:08:46] <Vooch> yup
