Q) What is that black beam/light/line?

A) It is called the Black Light. At the base of it you will find an altar to Libila called the Bone Altar.

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 tree down with your small axe active. A weapon s used automatically when you are in combat.

Q) How do I equip a weapon?

A) Put it in your right hand. A second Weapon can go in the left hand, but it is used less often, so put your main weapon in youor right hand. When you do so, you will get an event message: 'You equip a Short Sword in your right hand'. You may also want to put a shield on your left arm.

Q) How do I get food?

A) If you have been playig less than 24 hours, you can get free food by visiting The 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 How do I get Food/Cook guide.
