== Welcome to the unofficial [[Wurm Online]] tutorial. This tutorial will teach you how to feed yourself and how crafting works in the world of the Wurm. You are currently reading the Wurm Wiki, which is an encyclopedia of information about the game. The interface ==Wiki is a collaborative effort by Wurm players and developers. In the Wiki you will find many different types of information such as tutorials, fan fiction and lore, [[map]]s of the world, and descriptions of [[town]]s and [[item]]s. If you cannot find the information you require in the wiki, then you can request help in-game using the "[[Freedom]]" and "PA Help" chat tab.

Some of the information printed here is covered in more depth in the [[Basic_Knowledge|Basic Knowledge]] article.<br style="clear:both;"/> == The Interface ==[[Image:Tutorial Menubar.jpg|right|thumb|HUD Status Bars]]First of all I will explain is the interface(or user interface--UI--or graphical user interface--GUI). In the upper left corner of the game window you will see some text and a few coloured bars, I will explain these one by one. === Skills ===[[Image:Tutorial MenubarSkills.jpg|right|thumb|Skill List]]Hit F2 on your keyboard to show a list of your [[skill]] s. There are 4 main categories in this window, [[characteristics]], [[religion]], [[:Category:Skills|skills category]], and spell effects. The characteristic sub-skills are values representing the current state of your [[body]], [[mind]], and [[soul]]. For instance, to be able to attack anything, your body characteristic must be at least 1.5, or you will be too weak. Each sub-characteristic is again divided into several sub-sub characteristics, which have their own functions. For instance, the maximum amount of [[weight]] you can carry is determined by your [[body strength]].

== F1: Console ==Religion skills consist of 3 things, [[faith]], [[favour]], and [[Image:Tutorial Consolealignment]]. Alignment basically says whether you are good or evil, this is determined by the actions you do.jpg|left|thumb|250pxSome [[gods]] won’t accept your [[Praying|The Consoleprayers]]Hit F1 on if you are evil for instance.

Religion skills consist of 3 thingsSpell effects, faith, favour and alignment. Alignment basically says whether you are good or evil, this is determined by the actions you do. Some gods won’t accept your prayers if you are evil for instance. Faith is a measure of how much your chosen gods like you, e.g. how much power “[[:WikiPedia:Buff (MMORPG terminology)|buffs]]” as they bestow in you. Faith is increased by praying at an altar dedicated to your chosen god, although it is capped at 30 for players who does not wish to become priests. Priests are dedicated to following the will of their gods, and as thus, a priest has the ability to cast his or her god’s spell at the cost of favour.

Spell effects=== Status Bars ===[[Image:Tutorial Menubar.jpg|right|thumb|Status Bars]]Underneath the white text are 3 coloured bars. The green one is your stamina bar and tells you how much energy you have left to do actions. When you perform an action, your [[stamina]] will go down and you will need to wait for it to recharge before you do another action, or the action will take much longer to finish. Tired people work slower. The speed with which your stamina bar recharges is determined by your [[food]] and [[water]] bars--the orange and blue ones underneath the stamina bar. You can refill your water bar by drinking water from a [[Water tiles|tile with water on it]], or “buffs” as they are known from a [[container]] in your inventory, a fountain, or any other games, are temporary magical effects that affect your characterexternal container with water in it. The food bar is refilled by eating; how to get food is explained later in the tutorial.

Ingredients ===[[Image:Tutorial Nature.jpg|right|thumb|Foraging grass for food]]* To [[Foraging|forage]] for food ingredients, find a patch of [[grass]], and right-click on a grass tile then select ''Nature > Forage''.* You will have to forage many different grass patches to obtain ingredients, and it's best to move away from densely populated areas for this, as each grass patch can only be foraged once in any 24-hour real-life period. Hence, you need to find grass that nobody has foraged in the last 24 hours.* Find a few berries, nuts, and herbs before moving on to stage 2 of this tutorial. === 2. Pottery Bowl ===[[Image:Tutorial Clay.jpg|right|thumb|Digging for [[Clay]].]][[Image:Tutorial Pottery.jpg|right|thumb|Creating a bowl]]# You will need [[clay]] to make a [[pottery bowl]]. Clay is found near water.# There are clay tiles just outside of Newtown located to the north and east by the edge of the water.# Once you find a clay tile, open your inventory and double-click your [[shovel]] to 'activate' it.# With the Lawful button displays more shovel active, right-click on a clay tile and select ''dig''.# You should then obtain a piece of clay in your current statusinventory.

Be patient and keep trying.# Make a few clay bowls and low water levelsperhaps also a [[clay jar]] while you're at it.# Clay bowls must be fired into pottery bowls before they become useful.

Now you need to put your clay bowls and jar into the fire and wait for them to turn into pottery=== 3. To do this, open the campfire and drag the items from your inventory window to the campfire windowFire ===[[Image:Tutorial Trees. The items will take quite jpg|right|thumb|A Tree]][[Image:Tutorial Cutting.jpg|right|thumb|Chopping down a while to heat up, while they do this, you can try making some different items from your log, botanize and forage more, or do something completely different, just make sure to examine the fire from time to time to see if it needs fueltree]][[Image:Tutorial Kindling.

Repeat until successful.

If it does not, save it say “The fire burns steadily and will burn for a rainy day long time.” You need to put on fuel by taking it out of activating wood (or substitute) and right-clicking the bowl and putting it in your backpackfire, then selecting burn.

=== 4. Completing the Bowls ===# Put your empty clay bowls into the fire. Right-click the fire and select ''Open'', then drag the clay bowls across from your inventory.# The bowls will take quite a while to heat up to [[Image:Tutorial Casseroleglowing hot]] and become pottery.jpgWhile they do this, you can try making some different items from your log, botanize and forage more, or do something completely different, just make sure to examine the fire from time to time to see if it needs [[fuel]].# It is a good idea to put all your berries, nuts, and herbs into the fire as well (not inside the bowls), so they can heat up. This reduces the time needed to make food when you put them into the finished bowls. # Once the clay bowls have turned into a pottery bowls (this will happen once the clay bowl has been glowing from heat for a while) take it out of the fire along with the ingredients.

Now know=== 5. Cooking a Casserole ===# Drag one berry and one herb onto each pottery bowl in your inventory so they are located inside the bowl. Examine the bowl and it should mention the 'difficulty' of the casserole you're about to cook.# Put the pottery bowls containing casserole ingredients back into the fire.# Keep checking the bowl in the fire until the contents of the bowl turn into "Casserole". If you see the word “casserole” when you click the +, the food you make here at have successfully made your first is very bad, item of food.# Take the pottery bowl out of the fire and will not fill eat the casserole if you up very muchare hungry. Otherwise, store the casserole in your inventory for later, but it will fill if you enough are logging of its a better idea to make you able to work and have decent stamina regeneration, which is key for everything store it in Wurma container. When As you cook more food, your cooking skill will increase and you will make better and better food. Once you gain access to [[meat]], [[fish ]], and vegetables [[vegetable]]s and have a [[frying pan]], you can start making meals much the same way as the casserole, just food with other ingredients. Meals are special since they can fill you 100%.
