Plenty of folks will be cooking (and eating) up a storm next week in the US, and come November 22nd, Wurm Online players can do the same in game. Last month, devs invited players to test out the big cooking revamp on a unique client; now the bugs have been worked out to the point that update 1.3 is ready for general release. A number of foraged herbs, spices, and vegetables will also be able to be planted on farms.
In addition to cooking, this update will include rune rift changes based on player feedback. Followers won’t be limited to the runes of their god as anyone will be able to make a rift rune of any god (or Jackal). If the rune is for a follower of that good, there will be a crafting bonus.
