You can find them along the historical maps here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6J_aGQ6URL8UURFN2VadWxtSWs?resourcekey=0-DuurGPuGLSABmTTu7-999g&usp=sharing
The maps from this year are located in the "February 2025" folder for each server.
This year, we've included the "routes" maps, showing all of the roads in the highway system on PvE servers, so you can see how highways have changed over time since those were previously released, in 2017 and 2020.
We hope that the new maps will let you travel easier and give you a better overview on what has changed over time in the world of Wurm. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day 2025
Valentine’s Day is here again, and what’s a better gift than jewelry! If you don’t yet have a special Wurmian in your life, you’re sure to catch their attention with this piece!
Between February 14th 2025 00:00 CET and February 23rd 2025 23:59 CET, you can grab the Valentine’s Day gift - Ring of Unity and a Ring Casket.
The ring comes with a box that you can use for keeping it safe. You can see the ring on display while it’s inside the box, making it a nice decoration piece, if you’d rather show it off in your home than wear it!
Ring of Unity
"Adorned with delicate interwoven knots, this ring symbolizes an eternal connection."
Ring Casket
"A small wooden ring casket."
This item can be redeemed in the in-game silver shop by any premium player. Make sure to redeem it on the server where you want the item, as it won’t travel between clusters with you.
Happy Valentine's Day!
February's Monthly Skin
Bring some elegance into your home with the "Merry Flowers"! These vibrant red blooms come nestled in an exquisite crimson vase, usable as instant mood-lifter - no green thumb required!
This skin for the pottery jar is now available in the Marks Shop at any settlement token through February.
"Merry Flowers - A beautiful flowering plant in a crimson vase."

Harvesting from a Wishing Tree now properly requires the holy site to be active instead of inactive.
Cleaned up and corrected some text when harvesting from a Wishing Tree holy site.

Christmas Event 2024
Oops!
After the Great Santa Factory Mishap of 2023, yet another disaster has fallen on Santa’s complex on the North Pole!
Polar trolls have bashed into the stables, and almost all of Santa’s reindeers have escaped! He needs help tracking them down to make sure all of this year’s gifts get delivered!
This year’s Christmas event runs from December 21st, 12:00 CET (noon) until January 11th, 12:00.
You can now find tiny bells through foraging, botanizing, chopping down trees, digging and mining. A tiny bell can be combined with any vegetable to create reindeer food - you need to feed it to one of reindeers found all over the world of Wurm to help Santa find and recover it. Tiny bells can also be hung from walls as decorations.
You can track your progress through missions, divided into three stages:
Recover 2 reindeer - Santa will reward you with a star lamp, a new decorative item that can be hung from a ceiling
Recover 5 more reindeer - get a figurine of Santa
Repeating missions that require you to recover an increasing amount of reindeer, granting you one of the new or old Christmas gifts
You can also find four new wooden snowflake decorations through archaeology. The snowflakes can be hung from ceilings.
Gears, valves and pipes that were part of last year’s event, have also been added to archaeology.
Like last year, we’ll be running a 10% skillgain and affinity bonus through the entire event.
Happy Holidays from the Wurm Online team!
