=== Q) How do I get started? ===
+
#redirect[[Basic Knowledge]]
 
 
A) There are 3 things that are considered essential to getting started:
 
# You need to start developing your cooking skills, go here: [[Guide To Cooking]]
 
# You need to build a house, go here: [[The "how do I build a house?" guide.]]
 
# You need a chest with a lock for secure storage, go here: [[Secure Storage]]
 
 
 
* It is strongly recommended that you form or join a group, as cooperation is a key part of succeeding in any task.
 
* Try to stay close to [[Newtown]] until you get the hang of the game.
 
 
 
===Q) What's the difference between equip and activate?===
 
A) An active item can be used to interact with the world around you, like cut a [[Terrain:Tree|tree]] down with your [[Small Axe|small axe]] active. You equip a weapon which is then used automatically while in [[Fighting|combat]].
 
 
 
===Q) How do I activate an item?===
 
 
 
A) Double click on it. It will show up at the bottom of the [[Inventory]] next to '''Active:''' This means that you can use the item for the tasks it is designed for.
 
 
 
===Q) How do I equip a weapon?===
 
 
 
A) Put it in your [[inventory|right hand]]. A second [[:Category:Weapons|Weapon]] can go in the [[inventory|left hand]], but it is used less often, so put your main weapon in your right hand. When you do so, you will get an [[Basic Knowledge|event message]]: 'You equip a [[Short Sword]] in your right hand'. You may also want to put a shield on your left arm instead of a second weapon.
 
 
 
===Q) Where do I get a Pelt?===
 
 
 
A) [[Pelt|Pelts]] are a product from [[Large Rat|Large Rats]] and [[Wild Cat|Wild Cats]]. In order to get one, you first have to find and kill one of those animals. then you have to use a [[Butchering Knife]] to butcher the corpse. If you are successful, you will get a pelt. Alternatively, you may be lucky enough to find one for sale at a [[Trader]], or you might find a more experienced player willing to give or sell you a pelt.
 
 
 
===Q) Can I starve to death or die of thirst?===
 
 
 
A) No. If those bars are empty, you wont be able to do some work, like mining and your [[Stamina]] will recharge very slowly. For more information, read [[Basic Knowledge]].
 
 
 
===Q) How do I get food?===
 
 
 
A) If you have been playing less than 24 hours, you can get free food by visiting The [[Creature:Bartender|Barkeep]] in the tavern at [[Newtown]]. While you take advantage of this free food it is recommended that you begin gaining skill at cooking, it is essential to the game. Start by making a [[Pottery Bowl]] and [[foraging]] some food, then cooking it in a fire. More detail can be found at the [[Guide To Cooking]] and the [[Tutorial|New Player Tutorial]].
 
 
 
===Q) Where are the rest of my beginner tools?===
 
 
 
A) When a new character is created, some of your equipment is automatically equipped. So, check your Torso and Hands. See [[Inventory]] for further details.
 
 
 
===Q) How Do I make money?===
 
 
 
A) 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 [[trader|Traders]]. You could also convert real-life <strong>&euro;</strong>'s<sup><small>(Euros)</small></sup> into <del><strong>¤W¤</strong></del>'s<sup><small>(Wurm currency/silver)</small></sup> using the [http://store.wurmonline.com/ Wurm store]...
 
 
 
===Q) Why is it so dark? I can't see===
 
 
 
A) * The problem may lie with your graphics card. Check to see if it features a gamma adjustment setting. If so turn it up very high.
 
A) * The game features full day/night cycles and nighttimes are fairly dark. Time in Wurm is 8x real time so the darkness should only last 1 to 1.5 hours.
 
 
 
===Q) How do I use a Large Anvil?===
 
A) The [[Large Anvil]] is best used by carrying it in the [[inventory]] and making the [[lump]] active.
 
 
 
===Q) How do I change game settings? How do I get better frame rates===
 
 
 
A) On the log-in screen, there is an options button, you can change the settings there. More information on those settings can be found [[Client Configuration|here]]
 
 
 
===Q) What weapon should I create first?===
 
 
 
A) A 10 ql [[Short Sword]] is good for killing rats and such.
 
 
 
===Q) Why am I moving so slowly?===
 
 
 
A) There are many factors that can reduce your speed:
 
 
 
* Rough terrain
 
* Carrying heavy loads
 
* Wearing armour
 
* Having low stamina
 
* The "Hurting" status
 
 
 
Also, make sure the "Climbing" toggle is switched off.
 
 
 
===Q) What are percentages on creating items?===
 
 
 
A) The percentages you view on a create menu is the chance that you will succeed factoring in the materials' qualities as well as your skill and the tools that will be used. Every time you create something, the chance resets.
