Just like the original Wikipedia, the Wurm Wiki is a large, online encyclopaedia containing all sorts of information, in this case specifically about Wurm.

As the Wiki is made by the players, do not expect it to always be 100% correct. Much of the current Wiki was written during the beta test Some of Wurm Online, and thus, some pages can be a bit outdated.

== The interface Interface ==[[Image:Tutorial Menubar.jpg|right|thumb|HUD Status Bars]]First of all 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.

First === Skills ===[[Image:Tutorial Skills.jpg|right|thumb|Skill List]]Hit F2 on your keyboard to show a list of all I will explain the interfaceyour [[skill]]s. There are 4 main categories in this window, [[characteristics]], [[religion]], [[:Category:Skills|skills category]], and spell effects. In The characteristic sub-skills are values representing the upper left corner current state of the game window 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 see some text and a few coloured barsbe too weak. Each sub-characteristic is again divided into several sub-sub characteristics, which have their own functions. For instance, I will explain these one the maximum amount of [[weight]] you can carry is determined by one.your [[Image:Tutorial Menubar.jpgbody strength]] .

Hit F2 on your keyboard to show a list of your skills. There are 4 main categories in this window, [[characteristics]], [[religion]], [[Category:Skills|skills category]] and spell effects. The characteristic subskills 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 under-under characteristics, which has their own functions. For instance, the maximum amount of weight you can carry is determined by your body strength. 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 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, 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|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 [[Category:Spells|spell]] at the cost of favour. Favor is the equivalent of mana in many other role playing games. Favor is only regained over time once used, so it should be used wisely. The [[Category:Skills|skills category]] is by far the most interesting. It as it lists all the skills you have discovered, as well as a number representing your expertise within that skill. As your skills increase you will find that the various tasks in the game becomes easier, and you will make better and better items. Skills [[decay over time, as well as ]] when you [[die]], so take good care, of yourself as your skills are the most valuable thing you have. Due to the time it takes to reach mastery in any given skill decay, it is important to specialize if one wants to have high skills, as they will otherwise slowly decay.

=== F3: Inventory === <br style="clear:both;"/>[[Image:Tutorial Inventory.jpg|leftright|thumb|250px|The Inventory windowMenu]]The inventory menu (F3) contains 2 things, your trees: ''body '' and your ''[[inventory]]''.

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 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.

When you first start out in Wurm, you will be equipment in your [[Newtowninventory]]. Newtown is a town owned by when you begin the game [[developers]], and is a safe haven for new players, but as soon as you leave Newtown you must be wary of the many [[creatures]] that inhibit the lands of Wurm. The most fearsome beast you are likely to encounter is the huge spider, a threat that will tear you apart in a matter of seconds. If you get attacked by an animal, flee across flat land or up/down/across a not very steep slope (using the W key and/or a combination of W+A or W+D keys). Caution: Some animals such as [[Large Rat|rats]] and [[Brown Bear|bears]] can swim! Most other types of [[animals]] will stop chasing you once you have entered the water for a few tiles (this depends somewhat upon how deep the water is). By the way, don't worry about drowning because your character will auto-swim if the water is too deep for enable you to walkobtain these items. Village guards will attack and kill most aggressive creatures that enter deeded land so if you can make it into a deeded area (such as New Town) you should be safe.
