You gain 1CR 1 CR per 10 overall fight skill(Pvein [[PvE]]) and then additional CR depending on wether whether you have the height advantage, or are mounted on an animal, or lose some if not at optimal range to the target or on un-even ground.

The most suggested and more practical way for a begginer beginner player to train their fighting for skill is as follows:

'''Create a [[practice doll]]''', equip . Equip a shaft and right click the practice doll and select 'practicePractice'. This will make you start to attack the doll and periodically increase your overall fighting skill.

'''Make a Weaponweapon''', This . Creating a [[weapon]] will require access to a forge (If your if you are new, you can may be able to use the [[New Dawn]] a forge and mineat the starting point) and the related equipment.

'''Train your selected weapon skill''' . The easiest way to train your weapon skill is to simply go out and chop down a lot of tree's trees with it. This will work until 20 weapon Skillskill. Only blade weapons apply for this method (, as in no mauls[[Category:Mauls|maul]]s, and the exception of a [[short sword), any ]] is an exception also. Any other weapon must be trained through combat with other creatures. You gain more weapon skill when you do more damage, so things to consider when training weaponskill is your weapon QL (higher ql = more damage) and the animals you are killing (tougher animals = less damage done). To primary train weaponskill you should focus on weak creatures such as rats, cats, deer, horses, cattle.

'''Create your equipment''' . [[Cloth Armour armour]] is the easiest and simplest armour type available to make in wurmWurm. However, however it provides next to no protection and isn't is not recommended for combat. [[Leather armour ]] would be a lot more appropriate, however leather is obtained through killing wild animals, which could proove prove to be difficult for some, so . So going straight for [[:Category:Chain_armour|chain armour ]] is the safest bet, especially since mining iron ore will increase the [[Strengthstrength]] skills.
