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 informationon 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, 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]], see [[Basic Knowledgesmall bucket]]etc.).

A Although a 10 [[Quality level|quality]] [[short sword]] is good for killing [[Large rat|rat]]s and such, most experienced players will advice you to skip it and try to make a [[long sword]]. It's a bit harder to make, but in the long run it will pay off. If you choose a one-handed weapon, you can either dual wield for added attack or use a shield for added protection. Look here for more information on [[axes]], [[mauls]], [[polearms]], [[swords]], [[archery]] and [[shields]]. And here for [[fighting]].
