Things you've never done in Cantr?

I've been playing almost ten years, so I've done various things with my characters, but I just started thinking about things I've never done yet.

None of my characters have ever:

brewed coffee
made sugar out of corn and water (I only found out it's possible)
used gems with the exception of diamonds and emeralds (even though some of them have been in touch with rubies, topaz, obsidian, jade and pearls (do pearls count as gems?))
cooked any of the new recipes
made sealing wax (even though some have been in contact with all the ingredients)
lit a bonfire
made poison
seen a tricycle or a caddie or a tractor (as far as I can remember)
built a herb garden
made biodiesel
built a repeater
built a kite (although have flown one made by someone else)
played a guy that would be purely homosexual and not just bi or bi-curious

Wow, I've done all of those... except for making sugar out of corn. My chars have been in possession of all gems except sapphire and jade. So I can say I've never made jade/sapphire jewellery.
I've never been able to let another char (who means something to mine) go easily.
My chars have never built a skimmer/ferry.
They have not experienced butchering certain animals & cooking their meat yet. So far it's been mutton and beef recipes my chars have been able to cook.
They haven't been to some of the islands (despite visiting many lesser known islands).
They have never killed anyone for financial gain.
I'll update my list if I can think of more things I/they haven't done.

None of my chars ever built a wooden cart. Thank god I checked the wiki back when I started for speed and capacity of those. :)

It's good as a storage on primitive regions when you don't have access to iron, because they come with a free lock.

I wasn't even aware of making sugar from corn and water, only malt. How is this done?

I have never smelted some bronze.
I have never visited a tundra region.
I have never had rubies or emeralds in my possession. Had only Diamonds, Jade and Sapphire.
I have never built a house out of bricks.

There are the first things that popped into my mind.
Sure, there's lot i haven't done yet.. I have been only so little time of one and a half a year in Cantr.

I'm sure there's so many things I haven't done in Cantr, I can't even list them.

But I have made bronze. My character thinks they're cooler than regular tools and treasures them as rare and valuable.

There are tundra areas? Wow, I need to get out more.

Lots and lots and lots of things I've never done. Was away from the game a while, so have never made a healing liquid for example, or most of the new foods, and so on.

I've never killed a couple just for being too cutesy, but I may check that one off the list shortly. :)

Tundra is just a waste of space. Once you've seen one, you've seen them all. Pretty much the same with swamps.

I've never met Chinese, Lojban or Bulgarian characters, not 100% sure about Turkish. All the others I've met, although only met Finnish with my Finnish characters and maybe Swedish with only my Swedish character.

I've also never unsubbed or timed out.

I think I've been to every town on the old English islands.

I have never been caught from piracy. Still running free and wild. Hoarding stuff into my hideout.
I have never seen anyone wearing the bejeweled crown.
I have never had any clothes made out of rubber.
I have never wore the maximum amount of rings in my character's fingers at once.
I have never wore any clothes made out of reed.

It's interesting that you mention wooden carts. I haven't seen those in a long time, but when I first started playing Cantr in the 1000s it seemed to be then fashion, for the reason of what Seko said. And then I learned that the speed is bad..it basically just gives you a higher carrying capacity.

Oh and to stay with the subject..I've never..gone to that super giant island, I think.
Oh and I've also never unsubbed. It's hard for me to imagine leaving Cantr for 40 days or more without planning it out, like putting vacation on, unless I were to decide to quit Cantr.
