This topic covers the most basic things you, a new player in Wurm Online, should know about.
Steep slopes require you to climb. To climb a surface, click on the '''Climb''' button in your Event window. If you carry a lot of items, your stamina will drop like a stone while climbing, and fairly fast while walking. And you can not climb trees, sorry.

=Important Hotkeys=
=Equipping & Inventory=
To equip an item (you can only hold one at a time), simply doubleclick double-click an item in the inventory. You can work with items within the inventory, there is no need to drop them on the ground. As an example, you activate/equip the carving knife, and right-click on a log in your inventory, to create new items with it. '''Note:''' If you carry too much, speed at which you walk is reduced. You can also become encumbered, and walk extremely slowly, by carrying very heavy items such as felled trees. Improve your strength skill to carry more.<br>Remember you can also use your bodyparts for certain things, like molding clay, by activating one of your hands by expanding the Body-category and doubleclick double-click a hand, and then rightclicking right-clicking the clay in your inventory, to work with it.
=Interaction=
Rightclick Right-click on objects, tiles, people, anything, to interact with it. A popup pop-up menu appears saying "''Requesting...''" which means the game is fetching data from the server about the specific object you are trying to interact with. When it's done (which is fairly quickly), you are given several options in the menu of what to do with the object. There are different options for different objects. You get more options depending on what item you have active. For example, you are presented with another option called "Cut down" if you have the Small Axe active and right-click a tree.
<br><small><em>(Cutting down trees does not work with herrings!).</em></small><br><br>
Note that a menu that appears in <span style="color: #999999">dark grey</span> is cached. Not all options may work. It will be automatically replaced with the real menu when the data from the server is received.
=Chat=

This is were you talk in Local, Kingdom, Village (when you become a citizen on a deed), and private messages.<br> The people shown in your local chat are the players within about 1 kilometer radius from your position. Both blacklighters and whitelighters can  To talk here. As a new playerin kingdom when the window isn't open, you talk in use the Jenn'''/shout''' -Kellon command, like so ''/shout Look out for the truck!''
