Changes

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 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.

== The Wiki ==What you are reading in now is Some of the official Wurm Online Wikipedia. Just like the original Wikipedia, the Wurm Wiki information printed here is a large, online encyclopaedia containing all sorts of information, covered in this case specifically about Wurm. The Wiki is written and updated by dedicated players who feel a need to help out other people more depth in regards to information. In the Wiki you will find many different types of information, from guides like this one, over small bits of lore to information about the different player made cities and construction guides to almost any item ingame[[Basic_Knowledge|Basic Knowledge]] article. <br style="clear:both;"/>

To find information in == The Interface ==[[Image:Tutorial Menubar.jpg|right|thumb|HUD Status Bars]]First of all is the Wiki, just type your request in interface (or user interface--UI--or graphical user interface--GUI). In the search bar to your upper left, for instance, if corner of the game window you want to know how to create will see some text and use a catapult, you can just type in “catapult” and it will take you to a page containing building instructions as well as small bits of info on using the catapultfew coloured bars.

As the Wiki is made by the players=== Skills ===[[Image:Tutorial Skills.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]], do not expect it to always be 100% correctand spell effects. Much of The characteristic sub-skills are values representing the current Wiki was written during the beta test state of Wurm Onlineyour [[body]], [[mind]], and thus[[soul]]. For instance, to be able to attack anything, some pages can your body characteristic must be a bit outdatedat least 1. You might also find that the Wiki can be lacking any information whatsoever on a specific subject5, in this unlikely case, it is a good idea to ask ingame or on the forumsyou will be too weak. Just make sure that you Each sub-characteristic is again divided into several sub-sub characteristics, which have checked their own functions. For instance, the Wiki properly to see if the information maximum amount of [[weight]] you seek can carry is not there somewhere before you start asking, as quite a lot of people will just tell you to check the Wiki if you ask too many questionsdetermined by your [[body strength]].

If Religion skills consist of 3 things, [[faith]], [[favour]], and [[alignment]]. Alignment basically says whether you are good or evil, this is determined by the actions you at one point should feel do. Some [[gods]] won’t accept your [[Praying|prayers]] if you are evil for instance. Faith is a measure of how much your chosen gods like you have , e.g. how much power 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 [[priest]]s. Priests are dedicated to following the will of their gods, and as such, a priest has the ability to add to cast his or her god’s [[:Category:Spells|spell]] at the cost of favour. Favor is the Wikiequivalent of [[wikipedia:mana|mana]] in many other role-playing games. Favor is only regained over time once used, so it should be used wisely. Note that [[Golden Valley]] have no religion, so the religion skill can not be used until you can send a private message buy premium and move to a GM on the forums premium servers, [[Wild]] and request a Wiki account[[Freedom]].

First of all I will explain the interface. 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.=== Inventory ===[[Image:Tutorial MenubarInventory.jpg|right|thumb|Inventory Menu]]The inventory menu (F3) contains 2 trees: ''body'' and ''[[inventory]]''. Your inventory is where you carry the [[item]]s you start with, create, and pick up. Your body is where your equipped items are placed, as well as where [[wound]] s will be located when you take damage. If you click the ''+'' next to your body you will see your various body parts as well as what they contain of wounds or equipment. The “Active:” on the bottom shows which tool or item you are currently using. To activate an item, double left-click on it.

=== F1: Console Status Bars ===[[Image:Tutorial ConsoleMenubar.jpg|leftright|thumb|250px|The ConsoleStatus Bars]]Hit F1 on 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 keyboard [[stamina]] will go down and you will need to access wait for it to recharge before you do another action, or the game consoleaction will take much longer to finish. Tired people work slower. The console speed with which your stamina bar recharges is not commonly used determined by the ordinary player, except for turning on the additional client statistics window where you can see your current speed, distance travelled [[food]] and other nice statistics. To open the statistics window, open [[water]] bars--the console orange and type in “toggle stats” without blue ones underneath the “”stamina bar.<br style="clear:both;"/>=== F2: Skills === <br>You can refill your water bar by drinking water from a [[Image:Tutorial Skills.jpgWater tiles|right|thumb|250px|A list of common skillstile with water on it]], or from a [[container]]in your inventory, a fountain, or any other external container with water in it. The food bar is refilled by eating; how to get food is explained later in the tutorial.

Hit F2 on your keyboard All actions except for moving are done by right-clicking. Try right-clicking a few things to show a list of your skills. There see what options are 4 main categories in this window, [[characteristics]], [[religion]], [[Category:Skills|skills category]] and spell effectsavailable. The characteristic subskills are values representing Once the current state of your bodyright-click menu has loaded, mind and soul, for instance, to be able to attack anything, your body characteristic must be you will at least 1.5, or you the bottom of it see an option saying “What’s this?” Clicking this will be too weak. Each subopen an in-characteristic is again divided into several under-under characteristics, which has their own functions. For instance, game window with an explanation of the maximum amount of weight item you can carry is determined by your body strengthright-clicked on.

Religion skills consist of 3 things, === Chat and Events ===[[faithImage:Tutorial Chatboxes.jpg|right|thumb|Chat & Event boxes]]The interface also consists of 2 text boxes, [[favour]] and [[alignment]]. Alignment basically says whether you are good or evilone for talking with other players, this is determined by the actions other for the game to deliver messages to you do. Some [[gods]] won’t accept your [[Praying|prayers]] if you The "Local" tab is for chatting to people that are evil for instance. Faith is a measure of how much your chosen gods like near you, e.g. how much power they bestow you can see which people can see your messages in the list in youthe right side of the first box. Faith The "Jenn-Kellon" tab is increased by praying at an altar dedicated to your chosen god, although it is capped at 30 a global chat for all players who does not wish to become of the same [[priest|priestskingdom]]on your server. Priests are dedicated If you wish to following the will of their godssend a message that only one other player can see, you can type in <em>“/t playername message”</em> to open a tab where you and as thus, a priest has the ability to cast his or her god’s [[Category:Spells|spell]] at the cost of favour. Favor is the equivalent of mana <em>“playername”</em> can chat together in many other role playing games. Favor is only regained over time once used, so it should be used wiselyprivate.

The "Event" chat is, as mentioned, where you receive information from the game. If you fail or succeed an action, get attacked, or the server is shutting down, this is where you can find the information. The buttons underneath it are used for toggling your status. “[[Category:Skills|skills categoryClimbing]] is by far the most interesting. It lists all the skills ” will enable you have discoveredto go up steep [[slope]]s, as well as a number representing but it will heavily reduce your expertise within that skillstamina, and you can not regain stamina while climbing. As your skills increase "[[Faithful]]" allows you will find to do actions that the various tasks in the game becomes easieryour god frowns upon, and although you will make better and better itemslose some faith from it. Skills decay over timeWhen "[[Lawful]]" is activated, as well as when it will prevent you from doing illegal things.

== First Steps ==* Move about with the keys W, S, A and D keys. Turn by holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse. There is no jump key; movement in Wurm is very simplistic.* You will start the game in a tutorial area on the Independence server. At the end of the tutorial, you will be able to use a portal to move to a player server. ''Please review [[Server types]] to understand the differences between the various servers.'' The starting town that you will arrive at from the portal you choose will be a relatively safe haven for new players, but as soon as you leave it you must be wary of the many [[creatures]] that inhibit the lands of Wurm.* Take your bearings using the [[settlement token]] in the center of your starting town. On top of the token is a [[compass]].* If you get attacked by a [[creature]], try to flee into water. Only a few animals ([[Large Rat|rats]], [[Brown Bear|bears]] and [[Image:Tutorial MenubarCrocodile|crocodiles]]) can pursue you across water.jpg* Village guards will attack creatures that enter [[deed]]ed land so if you can make it into a deeded area (such as your starting town) you should be safe.* For the first 24 hours of your Wurm playing time (real-life time spent in-game) you can get free food at the bartenders in the starting town and your "built-in" light source will always stay on.

=== The chatboxes 2. Pottery Bowl ===[[Image:Tutorial ChatboxesClay.jpg|800pxright|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.The Wurm Online interface also consists # There are clay tiles just outside of 2 text boxes, one for talking with other players, Newtown located to the north and east by the other for edge of the game to deliver messages to youwater.

Be patient and keep trying.# Make a few clay bowls and perhaps also a tab where [[clay jar]] while you and <em>“playername”</em> can chat together in private'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.

See [[Firemaking]].# You will need to fuel the casserole if fire with about 20 kg of wood every hour or so, you are hungrycan see its status by examining. 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".

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%.
