Wurm does not require a traditional download or install as it uses Java Webstart.
All you have to do is is click the big "Play" button right in the middle of the [http://www.wurmonline.com main page]. This will download the Java Webstart application (.jnlp file) which displays news, the login formular screen and a menu (to reach settings for example). It will also load the main game files in the background, which you can observe in the "pack updates" tab. To run the Webstart application you need to have [http://www.java.com/ Java] installed. It's not advisable to save the .jnlp file on your computer though, as it changes frequently. Better load it from the web always.
If you have a problem with getting the Wurm client working , try looking at the [[Common bugs and solutions]] page, manual downloads are also located through this link. You may also make a post in the [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/26-technical-issues/ Technical Issues] section of the forum.
Once the game downloads the needed packs, you can enter your character name and password. You must click ''I agree to the terms'How do I change game options/settings? How do I get better frame rates?', which refers to the EULA that can be found under the EULA button in the menu above the login boxes. Finally, click '''Play'''to log into Wurm Online.

If you need to review the tutorial again, you can find it in the [[Book of Wisdom]] by clicking on the book icon in the lower right of the [[notification]]s window. Click on the Tutorial section to expand and then click on each item to see the information available.

===Communication===
CA HELP is watched by [[Community Assistant]]s and other helpful players. You may ask or answer questions in this tab, but general conversations should take place elsewhere. [[Chat#Freedom|Freedom]] is a chat for players on the same [[server]] as you and [[Chat#Global|GL-Freedom]] is a global chat that can be seen by any player on any [[PvE|Freedom Isles (PVE)]] server, except [[PVP#Chaos|Chaos]]. You can toggle Freedom chat by typing '''/kchat''' and GL-Freedom by typing '''/gchat'''. If the tabs are not open already, you can send a message to Freedom by using '''/shout <message>''' and GL-Freedom by using '''/gshout <message>'''. Freedom is a good place to ask if you are lost or trying to find something on your server. GL-Freedom can be a good place to ask for general advice. [[Chat#Private Message|Private messages]] may be sent between players on any server by typing '''/tell <player> <message>'''. If the player exists, this will open a new tab with that player’s name. If a player sends you a private message, it will also open a tab in which you can reply to them. [[Chat#Local|Local chat]] can be heard by anyone within 80 tiles of your current location. The list in the right portion of the window shows you players that are currently in your local and able to hear messages sent to local.

===The First Day===
For your first 24 hours of play time in Wurm you will receive the benefits of food from the bartender and a divine light source. You also receive other benefits that you can see by hovering over their icons in the top right of your game window. This is to let you learn the game and give you time to become self-sufficient by finding food and water and creating your own light source. You are also given a tent that can be dropped on the ground and used to securely store items and as a [[respawn]] point if you die. This can be used temporarily until you build your first house as the tent will decay if left on the ground. You can empty the tent and pick it back up again if you wish to move. You need a 2 x 2 tile space that is not on a deed or within the [[perimeter]] of a deed, that is clear of obstructions and other structures, and that is not at or below water level in order to drop your tent.

===Using Items===
;Toolbelt: After you equip your toolbelt, you may drag the tools you will use often to the empty squares on the belt. Right-click the toolbelt to save or load slots and use the up and down arrows to cycle through your slots. You can then activate the items in your toolbelt by clicking on the item in your toolbelt. You can also use the number keys {{key|1}} through {{key|5}} to select a toolbelt slot. These are the keys above the letters, not the number pad.

===What Do I Look Like?===
You can see what your character looks like by pressing {{key|O}} for the menu, and clicking on '''HUD Settings''' and then '''Character Window''', which is the third item down on the left. You may also press {{key|C}} to open your character and click on the body icon in the upper left corner. You can use the hand mirror you received when you started to change your appearance. '''Right-click''' the mirror and select '''use'''. This will display a customization window. The mirror is consumed when you save your character’s appearance.
===Basic Needs===
For food, you can '''right-click''' a grass tile and select '''Nature > Forage'''. It may take some time to find items you can eat and you may need to move around to find an area that hasn’t been picked over yet. You can also use your carving knife or a butchering knife to butcher meat from animals you have killed or corpses of animals that you are allowed to butcher. '''Activate''' the knife and '''right-click''' the corpse, then select '''butcher'''. Once you are done, '''right-click''' the butchered corpse and select '''open''' to see the contents. To eat food, '''right-click''' the food and select '''eat'''. The quality and type of food determines how much nutrition you gain or lose when eating, and hot food restores more nutrition than cold food.

===Next Steps===
You may want activate your pickaxe and seek out an [[iron vein]] inside a [[mine]] for some [[iron ore]], or '''right-click''' on a stone tile and select '''rummage''' to get [[iron rock]]s. You can smelt these down into [[iron lumps]] in a furnace, such as a [[forge]] or campfire. With the iron, you can begin to make a [[lantern]] and start to upgrade and replace your starting tools as well as make [[large nails]] to use for a house.

==Exploring==
There are in-game maps in Wurm Online ({{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 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.
===Movement===
''Friend or foe?''
Creatures are abundant in Wurm Online; from [[sheep]] to [[dragons]], [[crocodile]]s to [[rooster]]s. You can normally tell if you're about to be eaten by one by looking at their hover outline - red for aggressive and green blue for passive. Some creatures may even be [[mount|ridden]] 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 obtain some reasonable [[armour]]. Local guards may be called to help your battle by shouting '''guards!''' in the local chat window - just make sure you're in range!

==Death==
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]]. Water is not replenished when you fast, so be sure to always have a source or [[container]] of it nearby.

==Item creation==
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. Failing ten times in a row with 95% success rate is very bad luck, not a bug. Any items in red cannot be crafted with your current skill level.
The 10 30 [[Quality level|quality]] [[short swordlongsword]] you get at the beginning is barely good enough for killing [[Large rat|rat]]s, so you may want to review creating yourself a new weapon that may be [[improve]]d, or even go for a new [[shield]]. Bows allow you to deal ranged damage without receiving any yourself, [[long bow]]s have such a range that most creatures are unable to see '''or''' attack you.

==Money==
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.
