Wurm is designed so that a player can start with nothing, and create every essential and craftable item. No starter gear, no weapons, no tools, just a shirt and pants, not even shoes! Noobs start with a [[starter kit]]. These can be lost, or thrown out. Wurm allows that. 'It isn't easy', starting over in Wurm, 'but it is possible'. 

Your The objective shall be here is to lead you to make the your own [[starter kit ]] out of nothing, without [[starving neither ]] nor being killed [[kill]]ed by a [[creature]].

As Note that as you dont don't have neither weapon nor any weapons or armor, you should avoid fightfights. Finding water place Water is a good idea way to escape if attacked. But the crabsDon't [[swim]] to far from shore or you will [[drown]]. Amphibians like [[Crab]]s and [[bear]]s may be your Nemesis (if no [[crocodile]]s). Sand let lets you run fast enough to escape them. Large exposed rock is better for that purpose.Water place is tiles are also good idea to drinkfrom. Food is easy to find foraging at grassland (or forest)but should be cooked as soon as possible. Forest is also need needed for wood (branches). Last is Rummaging on rock tiles is needed to start crude tools. ==[[Foraging]]==Forage for food, branches, cotton and wemp fibers.

First find [[iron rock]]. Once you find a rock face, you need to rummage over it. [[Rummaging ]] is like foraging but for rock instead of grass, trees, or steppe. You will likely only turn up two types of items: rock shards (in smaller amounts than you would mine) and iron rock. You will need both to make your first tool, a [[crude knife]].

*find a large area of exposed rock, like a cliff or mountain, now rummage on a [[rock tile]] until you haveat least :**at least 1 [[iron rock]]**1 [[rock shardsshard]]Also **also keep any extra and flint you find.

If you dont still have materialswith former forage and rummage, go back in forest and rock tiles, fo*rummage on a [[rock tile]] for [[iron rockstone shard]]*Forage forage in a forest until you have**1 [[branch]]*Use the [[crude knife]] on the [[branch]]es to make [[crude shaft]]s, keep the woodscrap*Use the [[crude knife]] on the [[rock shards]] to make a [[crude axe bladehead]]*Use the [[crude knife]] on the [[rock shards]] to make a [[crude pickaxe bladehead]]

*Use the [[shaft]] on the [[crude axe bladehead]] to make a [[crude axe]]*Use the [[shaft]] on the [[crude pickaxe bladehead]] to make a [[crude pickaxe]]

==Smelting Prepare for first irontools==*[[mallet]]*[[Note that all none of the crude tools can be repared, that will lead you to make iron tools in replacement as soon as possible. Therefore keep iron lumps]]rocks for that purpose.

Use *if no branch, using your crude axe cut a tree for logs or your crude shovel to cut down a "mature tree", an "old and shriveled tree", or a "fruit tree"*using your crude knife at branches or logs make shafts (minimum 4 for malet, axe, pickaxe, shovel) keep woodscrap*using your crude knife at a shaft make a [[mallet head]] and a [[handle]] and assemble for a [[mallet]] ==Prepare first cooking tools==It is recommended that you search for [[clay]], and take crude shovel*Make 2 or 3 [[jar]]s to carry water, and a [[clay bowl]] to cook in. Clay normally appears along shorelines, but deposits can be some distance apart.

Use your crude knife on the log Eventually you are going to need to cook casseroles, and make carry water around with you. Jars are a shortbowlot lighter than small barrels full of water, and are also good for mixing liquids such as lye and dyes. This will give Once you 2kg woodscrapfind clay, they are also much easier to make.

Use your crude knife on The [[clay bowl]] and [[clay jar]] have to be cooked in a firecamp to make pottery [[bowl]] and [[jar]]. In the log and same fire you will make a kindlingthe first iron tools.

''Use the ==First fire, crafting bowl, smelting iron==*[[kindling on the woodscrap to make a campfire'' (you don't have to have steel and flint to start a campfire)]]*[[iron lumps]]

Put Prepare for a long fire, check your fire fuel stocks. You may go to dig peat, tar, cut tree for logs, use kindling, forage for sprouts.Use your crude knife on woodscrap and make a kindling.''Use the kindling on the woodscrap to make a campfire''*put the clay items in the fire*put the iron rocks in the fire.*add fuel in the fire and keep an eye on its life line and refuel if needed*prepare some shaft and handles with your crude knife

While ==Cooking and crafting anvil==* as soon as the clay bowl turn into pottery, drop a vegie in the bowl* as soon as the lump is on iron rocks are heating up, you need to forage 2 more branches andcut them combine all of the *hot* lumps into shafts.make a one big [[malletlump]] and , use the mallet on the lump to make a [[handlesmall anvil]]

==Steel and flintCraft first iron tools==If you don't have a *use the [[steel and flintcrude knife]] you can create to make a campfire using handle*use the small anvil on lump to make a wood scrap and kindling, Place a wood scrap inside [[carving knife blade]]*attach the lit campfire. When handle to the scrap is hot, remove it from the campfire, and right-click on your forge, oven, or other fire container blade to light it.make a [[carving knife]]

making one is going *use the [[carving knife]] to be make a real tough proposition.handleSteel and flint requires steel lumps. To *use the small anvil on lump to make steel, you need charcoal. The easiest way a [[ chisel blade]]*attach the handle to get charcoal is the blade to build make a [[charcoal pilestone chisel]].

There are at least two other sources of charcoal. Lava spiders and lava fiends sometimes drop charcoal when killed. Other than that, you may have *use the [[carving knife]] to buy or (dare we say) steal it. Until you have this valuable tool, you are going make shafts*use small anvil on lump to be hampered by only being able make a [[hatchet head]] and attach un shaft for a [[hatchet]]*use small anvil on lump to make poor little a [[campfirepickaxe head]]s. Unfortunately, campfires will limit the quality of items you and attach un shaft for a [[pickaxe]]*use small anvil on lump to make with them. Hope you have decent fight skill!a [[shovel blade]] and attach un shaft for a [[shovel]]

==Make Storage: nails, more iron carving knife and small anviltools==*Use the remaining [[iron lump]] to make 4 [[small anvilnails]] for a [[small cart]], 3 [[large nails]] for a [[rope tool]], 1 [[small nail]] for a [[small barrel]], [[rake blade]]*, [[carving knifelarge anvil]].If still enough lump you can contine using large anvil on lump to make ribbons for food storage bin and bulk storage bin.The small cart is far the best storage at first. It requires very few iron, can store anything and is mobile.

*Combine all of the *hot* lumps into one big [[lump]].==Weapon and armor==*Use the mallet on the lump Starter set is with leather armor, which requieres leather, and thus to make a [[small anvil]]kill some beast... without armor.*use With the remaining lump on the small anvil to make convenient tools (very few iron for that), cloth armor requires only cotton but wont protect a [[carving knife blade]]lot.*use the knife on the shaft Esiest armor to make a handle*attach the handle at this point seems to the carving knife bladebe iron. Same for weapon. But beware you will be slow.

==Your ChoiceRope==Make a rope tool to make a rope to lead a donkey which allow you to keep in armor with correct speed.Rope is also needed to make a fishnet with is a no danger way to have meat replacement in receipesRope is also needed to make a rowboat wich is also very usfull for storage, to escape mobs...

===Cooking=Next fire: forge, oven, charcoal pile==It is recommended that With your tools you search for [[clay]], can make a forge and take 2 crude shovelsan oven wich will allow you to have better QL lump, and 2 crude pickaxes (because they breaklonger fire, good ash. You also will need to make a charcoal pile to later craft a steel and cannot be repaired)flint.*Make 2 or To light theses sources, first get 6 woodscrap which of turn 3 [[jar]]s to carry waterinto kindling. Create a campfire using a wood scrap and kindling, and place a [[clay bowl]] to cook inwood scrap inside the lit campfire. Clay normally appears along shorelinesWhen the scrap is hot, but deposits can be some distance apartwait a bit for about 20% damage, then take it from the campfire, and right-click on your forge, oven, or charcoal pile to light it.

Eventually you are going ==Tent==Tent will require wemp, cotton (and wood which shoul be easy to need make). Plant and cultivate to cook casseroles, have enough. Tent cant be repared. Dont let it on ground all the day and carry water around with younight. Jars are a lot lighter than small Use cart, barrels full of water, and are also good chests or bins for mixing liquids such as lye and dyesstorage. Once Use the ten for respwan point if you find clay, they are also much easier fear to makebe killed soon.

==Steel and flint==more Charcoal pile will require some time to give you charcaol. Be prepared with a flint (rummage) and iron tools===lump (find a iron vein trough prospecting with your pick axe, open tunnel with pick axe, mine the vein to have beter QL iron lump than the one you get from rummage.Put that When charcoal pile is burned, take the [[small anvilcharcoal]] to use and make more tools, nails, [[steel lump]] in the forge then combine with the [[flint]] for [[steel and locksflint]]. A Charcoal pile also gives [[pickaxetar]] which is a good tool to haverequired in [[rowing boat]]. A Charcoal pile also gives [[stone chiselash]] that is another good tool to have handy, especially if you have required for [[steel and flintlye]]. With that and some clay, you can build a therefor [[forgeleather]]. With that, you will be pretty much even with any other beginning Wurmian.

==Have FunCompass==This should Last tool that may be enough to get you going. You will need to get more iron rock for a missing from the starter pack is [[pickaxecompass]], which requires [[hatchetolive oil]], that is harvest in [[large anvilseason]] and a [[shovel]], but now you can use the carving knife to make shafts, and the shovel to cut down trees (tip: only cut down mature trees, or fruit trees, you need a hatchet to chop up felled trees).
