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 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 . 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]])
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 make moneythink I've chosen a wrong server! Can I travel to another one?===Unlike other games you may have played, [[Bank of Wurm|money]] is not gained from killing monsters. Instead the players have to exchange euros in the [http://store.wurmonline.com/ Wurm store]. But you do not need to exchange it yourself, you can trade it with other Players against items and service.'''

Here is more information Unless you plan to spend all of your time hiding on a [[axesdeed]], [[maulsdeath]]is inevitable in Wurm. Most players find that the game is much more fun if you get out and explore, hunt, and fight. While there are ways to 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 where you respawn, and how to find your [[polearmsDeath#Your_corpse|corpse]]full of loot. When you die, there is a good chance you will want to 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 last settlement you passed through. If you still can’t find the corpse but you do have enough [[swordskarma]], you can use [[archery]] and [[shieldsKarma|Summon corpse]]. And on When you don’t have the karma needed, another option is to find a friendly priest who can cast [[fightingLocate soul]] itself.for you.

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.
