{{guide}}  Hello, fellow Wurmian! If you are reading this, then you must be looking for some help fighting the various NPC creatures in Wurm Online. I will say this now, because it is probably the most important information you will need starting out: your starter shield and sword ARE NOT real combat gear! New players can easily die to a dog (one of the weakest creatures in the game) using the starter gear. You will need 20ql weapons, armorarmour, and shields to start out, at the bare minimum.

Your weapon is the tool you will use to deal damage to your target (with some exceptions). It can also be used to block some attacks, with the parry (block) rate determined by the type of weapon you use. Each type of weapon deals a different type of damage, has strengths and weaknesses to different types of armorarmour, deals a different amount of damage, and has different special moves.

===[[ArmorArmour]]===Armor Armour will reduce incoming damage in combat. It will also offer a glance rate, a chance for all damage from an incoming attack to be negated. The glance rate depends on the type of armor armour you are wearing and the type of attack hitting the armorarmour, as well as the armorarmour's quality and the strength of the incoming blow. Nothing less than studded leather armor armour is recommended for actual combat. Cloth and leather armor armour are used by some players who are on their deeds and/or do not fight much.

Metal All shields take less damage per block and per shield bash than wooden shields. For metal shields, steel takes less the same amount of damage than iron. For wooden shields, oak takes less damage than other types of wood.
