Wurm Online News

"Under the veil of the eerie moonlight, when malevolent spirits emerge from the shadows, we gather once more to invoke the time-tested tradition of cleansing."

Sharpen your weapons and slip into your armors, polish your trowels and prepare your chisels - it's time to push the evil forces back into oblivion!

From October 27th 2023 until November 5th 2023 it's Halloween time in Wurm.
Besides a 20% skill gain bonus and a 20% increased chance to gain an affinity, you also have the chance to find new special Halloween items:

• "Skjaldi the Scarecrow" (archeology item)
  
• "Autumn wreath" (archeology item) (placeable on walls!)
  
• "Black-winged shoulderpads" (creature drop)
  

That's not scary enough yet? Boo! There is still more! You can also find the items from the previous years at a lower rate:

• "Sigvard the Skeleton" (archeology item)
  
• "Flaming skull candle" (archeology item)
  
• "Pet bat cage" (archeology item)
  
• "Statue of Pumpkin Terror" (archeology item)
  
• "Pumpkin shoulder pad" (creature drop)
  
• "Troll mask" (creature drop)
  
• "Skull mask" (creature drop)
  
• "Deception mask" (creature drop)
  
• "Plague mask" (creature drop)
  
• "Faceless mask" (creature drop)
  
• "Minion mask" (creature drop)
  
• "Witch hat" (creature drop)
  
• "Black bear helm" (creature drop)
  

And that's still not all!
We are also running a sleep powder sale during Halloween time. Use this opportunity together with the 20% skill gain and affinity chance increase to grind until you look like a spooky skeleton yourself! (Just joking of course, please don't do that... or?)

We hope you'll enjoy this special time in Wurm. Happy Halloween from the whole Wurm Online team!

Ever dreamt of having your very own caravel without having to cut down an entire forest for it?
