Starting out in Wurm!

Starting out in Wurm can be tough at first, but as long as you're pointed out in the right direction you will be able to thrive off the land.

Stats

In wurm you have a Thirst bar , Hunger bar and a Stamina bar these are you're basic Stats for the game.

Hunger bar

to fill you're hunger bar you must eat when you eat you gain Nutrition but when you're hunger bar hits 0% you fast (use up a fat layer) which gives you 100% hunger again until you use up all 8 of youre fat layers (See Starvation for more details.).

Thirst bar

You also have a thirst which you gain by drinking water from a container or just straight out a lake or river.

Stamina/Health bar

last you have youre Stamina bar which doubles up as youre Health bar this shows how tired youre character is when it hits 0% you will walk slow and will need to stop doing task for it to fill up again.


Finding a place to start up

The best place to start would be a place with:

Water

Close or not to far from water is a good place to be especially for a new player.

Mine

Not too far from a public mine or a rock face.

Space

You don't want to be building on someone else's building plans so check in local or kingdom chat to see if anyone's building near you.

Wood

As a new player wood is a main resource for most of the games items so find a pretty forest with big trees like Pine, Cedar and maple.

Help

Make sure not to go far away from spawn you dont want to not know were you are if you need help.

Once you have found all of these you have a nice place to set up camp!


Starting off

First

You want a house to keep all you're belongings in and to keep you safe from all the nasty mobs that wont to naw on youre flesh.

1. Chop some trees with you're axe and make some planks, for a 1x1 house you would need around 80 planks and 4 large nails.

2. Use some off that left over wood to make yourself some shafts then use them to make a mallet head and a handle and attach them to make a mallet.

3. Next you will need some nails find some iron ore in a nearby mine or public mine (ask in CA HELP for a pointer in the direction of some) around 10x Iron ore will do just fine

4. Look for a public furnace (also ask in CA HELP) and light it with some kindling and a flint and steel, then plonk the iron ore in it.

5. Wait for the Iron ore to turn into lumps use a log to fuel the fire so it don't burn out.

6. Activate youre mallet and right click on the lump (make sure its glowing with heat) and make a Small anvil.

7. once you've got you're small anvil use the lump on the anvil to around 4x large nails.

8. now you have got the materials needed to make you're house.

9. now you should flatten the ground you want it to be (see Flattening for help).

10. lastly activate you're mallet and right click a tile click plan building.

11. now just add all the materials to it by clicking continue building.

Second

The next task would be to get some storage up in you're house like a Bulk storage bin or BSB as there known as.

You will need:

1x iron ribbon

24x planks

4x nails


You may also need a food storage bin.

You will need:

1x iron ribbon

24x planks

4x nails


Feeding yourself

Foraging/Botanizing

Probably the simplest way to obtain food simply righ click a grass tile and select nature then forage/botanize.

Foraging Can give berries and some herbs, vegetables and nuts.

Botanizing Can give you Herbs, vegatables and seeds

Hunting

Going out and finding a animal thats at you're Fighting skill and killing it then butchering it with you're carving knife is a good way to gain meat with the updates in spawn times.(see Animals for your Fighting skill limits)

Fishing

Fishing is the best source of meat when you don't want to risk fighting, to fish you will need a fishing rod

To make a rod you will need:

1x shaft 1x string of cloth 1x fishing hook

Cooking

To start cooking you need to make a Campfire to cook you're stuff or you can use a oven but you will need a one botanizing item and one foraging item and add them into a pottery bowl then place the bowl in the campfire until it makes casserole.

There are loads of other dishes to cook but this is the most basic one, there are foods such as:

Soup

Meal

Goulasch

Bread

Stew
