Re: Questions about Intelligence & other stats Like others, I've fairly sure the Advanced course provides a reward as well, but I expect it will be some time before my current character gets to the end of it.

Re: Quick Question About Item Quality Article On The Wiki The values are the net values relative to the baseline (decent), so both rough and crude result in reduced impact, while crude adds a skill penalty on top of that.

Thus, it's your second alternative.

Re: When it says, "you could have done better, but you can't make good out of bad."? You can't improve a finished good to a quality level above that of the input materials (there are some exceptions with "no quality" tags in recipes). All slender trunks you cut are of decent quality, and thus you can't turn them into higher quality items (you can rarely buy fine and masterworks staves, so you can make fine and masterworks javelins out of those, if you're lucky).

There are also cases where the tools hold you back. You can't create masterworks fur and leather with a decent standard knife, but you're capped at fine. To be able to make masterworks you need either a broad knife (the preferred type for hideworking), or a fine knife of any other kind (except stone knives, but I don't think you're going to have any fine stone knife, or if it's even possible to make one).

Re: Has anyone completed the task of forest maids? The quest should tell you what to do. If you follow her you obviously go towards her, in whatever direction she leads.

If you think summoning (powerful?) otherworldly beings and then attack them is a good idea you can try (I've never done it, so I don't know what would happen).

I can tell you what has happened to my characters from encountering her (there's more than one possible outcome), but it's probably better to try for yourself.

Re: Parry as skill If the trees are dodging your lumberjack he should cut back on the booze and noiaidi mushrooms. Also, trees very rarely attack lumberjacks when they try to cut the trees down (a pile of snow or a dislodged branch at the worst).

Cutting down trees uses a completely different skill from using an axe for fighting in UrW, and the weapon skills include all usages of the weapon in a fight, i.e. attacking, counterattacking, and blocking (which essentially the same as parrying).

There's some synergy between cutting down trees and using an axe for combat, but that's not modeled in UrW. Also note that some "simple robbers" can be extremely hard to hit even for master fighters in UrW.

Re: How far will you shoot your first arrow? If I'm trying to hunt a non predatory animal I want to be as close as possible, but I still expect to miss most of the time. For Njerps I want to be as far away as possible (i.e. basically max visible range) and expect to have to fire lots of arrows before hitting. Often the buggers don't react to being fired at until hit, so it does work, but I tend to have to rest up a bit every few shots to keep the hit chance up.

Re: How far will you shoot your first arrow? @skyleaf: 50. I also try to make a note on the world map indicating the direction I fired so I can try to collect them later, should the enemy flee or my character retreat (to tire the enemy).

Re: Adventurer gone missing & Human footprint tracking Hirelings often have trouble getting back to their villages. I've had cases (earlier versions) where I've encountered bands of dismissed hirelings in the wilderness months after they were dismissed.

The footprint issue has to do with tile maintenance, I think.

Re: Animal in forest cover died That's it. The quest failed and will time out eventually.

Re: A "get lost!" button? You can throw a glove in his face, which would probably make him angry enough to fight you...
