Talk:Mooring anchor

It seems that creating mooring anchors doesn't rely solely on shipbuilding skill. I have 30 shipbuilding, and have 85% chance to create a mooring anchor. Using the same items, a townmate with 5 shipbuilding skill has 93% chance. I also have 26 BSing, while he has 68. Can anyone clarify this? --Strawberry 21:37, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Creating anchors relies on blacksmithing skill. Asidecay 02:51, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Creating anchors, yes, but the wiki page for mooring anchors says shipbuilding. --Strawberry 19:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Creating Anchors is blacksmithing yes, but this page is for Mooring anchor, which is attaching a mooring rope to an anchor, which uses Ship building skill. Malaclypse 11:18, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Drift

According to a post by Army on August 27, 2024 at https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/203438-patch-notes-27-aug-2024/&tab=comments#comment-2012894:

• Change: Drifting of unmanned boats has been removed, even if they are not moored with a mooring anchor. Drifting has rarely ever occurred in practice due to bugs, and rather than cause significant inconvenience for players by fixing that, we've made the decision to officially remove it. Mooring anchors will still prevent players from dragging or pushing boats without permission.

Perhaps we should eliminate references to drift on this and related Wiki pages?
