Default is <code>bind 1 ACTIVATE_TOOL1</code> and so on, up to 10.
==Exploring= Where do I get a pelt?===A [[pelt]] is a product from [[large rat]]s, [[wild cat]]s, [[mountain lion]]s, and [[dog]]s. In order to get one, first try asking if someone in the area already has one, as they can be very common (and usually [[decay]] if stored and not in the [[player]]'s inventory). You may be lucky enough to find one for sale at a [[trader]] or [[merchant]]. Alternatively, find and kill one of these animals and use a [[butchering knife]] to butcher the corpse. If you are successful, you may get a pelt, [[meat]], and other animal parts.
=== I'm so lost, how do I open up the map?===There are no ingame in-game maps in Wurm Online and ({{key|m}}), however, you will still have to rely on your [[compass]], navigational skills , and wits. To open up the in-game map click the 'map button' on your quickbar (the icon resembles a globe). Luckily , there are out of game player made [[Maps|player made maps]] that will help you get a general idea of where you are. When you enter or leave a [[Settlement|settlement]] you will get a message in the [[Interface and controls#Event window|event window]] telling you the name of the settlement ("You leave Blossom"). [[Examine|Examining]] the ground tiles in and around a settlement can tell you information like "This is within the village of Blossom" or "This is within the [[Settlement#Perimeter|perimeter]] of Blossom". The [[settlement token]] of a [[Settlement|settlement (deed)]] has a compass on top. Asking for directions in local chat might help you on your way as well.
=== Can I starve to death or die of thirst?Movement===No. If those bars are empty, you won't be able to perform some [[Body stamina|stamina]]-draining actions (like [[mining]]) and your stamina will recharge very slowly. If you have enough fat reserves and your food bar drops to 6-8%, you will fast. A message in the [[event window]] will say: "Your hunger goes away as you fast" and your hunger bar will be filled again. For more information on how many times you can fast, the effects on your nutrition level and how to build up new fat reserves, look [[Starvation|here]].
Note that your thirst bar will not be filled when you fast, '''Why am I moving so you need to either stay near [[water]]/water sources or carry a [[container]] that is able to hold liquids (like a [[pottery jar]], [[water skin]], [[small bucket]] etc.).slowly?'''
=== Why am I moving so slowly?===
There are many factors that can reduce your speed:
* Rough terrain([[Moss]], [[Clay]], [[Sand]], [[Peat]], [[Tar]])
* Carrying heavy loads
* Wearing armour
Also, make sure the "[[Climbing]]" toggle is switched off.
=== '''Why can't I get out or move at all?===''' 
If you get stuck in a large pit or cave, first try the [[Climbing]] toggle or <code>/stuck</code> command. If you definitely cannot get out, or if you find a bug or glitch etc, then type <code>/support</code> to contact any of the GM's if they are online. Please use this feature sparingly.
=== '''Why won't my [[Body stamina|stamina]] regenerate?===''' 
This may be caused by lag, having "Hungry" and/or "Thirsty" in the [[Interface and controls#Statusbar|status bar]], swimming, or your [[Climbing]] toggle is activated. If you are being attacked, your stamina bar also will not regenerate and you may not be able to move away fast enough to get away in order to regain stamina which leaves you in a very dangerous situation.
=== How do '''I think I've chosen a wrong server! Can I make moneytravel to another one?===Unlike other games you may have played, [[Bank of Wurm|money]] is not gained from killing monsters, but rather from the sale of items you have crafted to other players and [[traders]]. You could also convert real-life <strong>&euro;</strong>'s<sup><small>(Euros)</small></sup> into Silver<sup><small>(Wurm currency)</small></sup> using the [http://store.wurmonline.com/ Wurm store]...''
It is possible to sail across some server borders, depending on which cluster it belongs to. Read [[Server types#Server travel map|here]] for more information. It is however not easy for a starter account to get a boat (unless you buy one from another player), so choose the server you want to play on wisely. If you are joining friends already playing: check and double check with them which server they are on.  === How do I use a large anvil?Creatures===The ''Friend or foe?'' Creatures are abundant in Wurm Online; from [[sheep]] to [[dragons]], [[crocodile]]s to [[large anvilrooster]] s. You can only normally tell if you're about to be eaten by one by looking at their hover outline - red for aggressive and blue for passive. Some creatures may even be used when dropped on the [[Tilemount|groundridden]] or [[tame]]d as [[pet]]s, some may be slaughtered for their [[hide]] and [[meat]]. As a new player you probably want to start small though, no picking fights with [[troll]] s or [[bear]]s, stick with smaller passive animals like [[hen]]s or [[dog]]s until you feel confident and making an obtain some reasonable [[iron lumparmour]] active. Local guards may be called to help your battle by shouting '''guards!''' in the local chat window - just make sure you're in range! :'''Read More''': [[Creatures]] | [[Cooking]] | [[Taming]] | [[Fighting]] | [[Mounts]] | [[Guard Tower]] ==Death==
=== What weapon should I create first?===Although Unless you plan to spend all of your time hiding on a 10 [[Quality level|qualitydeed]] , [[short sworddeath]] is good for killing [[Large rat|rat]]s inevitable in Wurm. Most players find that the game is much more fun if you get out and suchexplore, most experienced players will advice you hunt, and fight. While there are ways to skip help reduce the chances that you’ll die during your adventures, it is also important to know what to do when Death comes knocking. You’ll find the game less frustrating if you understand what happens when you die, how and try where you respawn, and how to make a find your [[long swordDeath#Your_corpse|corpse]]full of loot. It's When you die, there is a bit harder good chance you will want to make, but find your corpse to retrieve any valuables you had in your inventory. One option is to look at your event tab or logs to see the long run it will pay offlast settlement you passed through. If you choose a one-handed weapon, still can’t find the corpse but you can either dual wield for added attack or use a shield for added protection. Look here for more information on do have enough [[axeskarma]], you can use [[mauls]], [[polearms]], [[swordsKarma|Summon corpse]]. When you don’t have the karma needed, another option is to find a friendly priest who can cast [[archeryLocate soul]] and [[shields]]. And here for [[fighting]]you.
=== What are percentages Death will also have a [[Death#Death_penalty|negative impact]] on creating items?===The percentage listed your skills depending on the create menu is the chance that you will succeedcircumstances, all modifiers taken into account. However, unlucky streaks can and will happen. Failing ten times in a row with 95% success rate is very bad luck, not a bugoften losing random points from 5 skills.
You cannot die from thirst or [[starvation|hunger]], however your stamina will be affected, meaning you cannot perform some [[Body stamina|stamina]]-draining actions like [[mining]] or [[climbing]], and your stamina will regenerate very slowly. If you have enough [[fat]] reserves and your food bar drops to 6-8%, you will [[Starvation|fast]]. A message in the [[event window]] will say {{event|inline|Your hunger goes away as you fast}} and your hunger bar will be filled again, but at lower [[nutrition]].

Many of these items may be created or extracted with your [[Beginners_Tools|starting items]] or [[trade|bought]] from other players or [[merchant]]s. Creating an item nearly always starts with [[activate|activating]] one item and '''right-clicking''' another one?===. The intuitive [[crafting window]] can take away much of the context menu requirements, and also provides a recipe list for all player-craftable items.

They are cross functional to an extent, but at some point having both is required. The percentages listed on the create menus is the chance that you will succeed, taking into account tool and material quality, and your skill. However, unlucky streaks can and will happen. It Failing ten times in a row with 95% success rate is however very bad luck, not easy for a starter account to bug. Any items in red cannot be crafted with your current skill level. The 30 [[Quality level|quality]] [[longsword]] you get a boat (unless you buy one from another player)at the beginning is barely good enough for killing [[Large rat|rat]]s, so choose the server you may want to play on wiselyreview creating yourself a new weapon that may be [[improve]]d, or even go for a new [[shield]].

You may find money by slaying [[Animals|creatures]], [[foraging]] or [[botanizing]], or you can purchase it as silver from the [http://shop.wurmonline.com/WurmWeb/index.jsp/ Wurm Shop]. The amount of money that can be found randomly in game depends on the amount of money available in the [[kingdom]]'s coffers. If you have items to sell, you may check with a [[trader]] (found in any starter town, as well as certain player deeds). Traders may buy items from you if they have enough money on them . They do not create or destroy money, they simply use the money already present in the game, which results in the traders often being out of money, thus unable to purchase anything from you. Another way of making money in Wurm is through trade with other players. You can use the [[chat]] in-game or the [http://forum.wurmonline.com/ forums] to offer goods and services to other players, who ultimately reward you with money. :'''Read More''': [[Foraging]] | [[Botanizing]] | [http://shop.wurmonline.com/WurmWeb/index.jsp/ Wurm Shop] | [[Trader]] | [[Trade]] | [[Bank of Wurm]] ==Servers and accounts==See [[Account Types]] for an explanation of the various accounts.<br>See [[Server types]] for an explanation of the various server they are ontypes.
