= Wurm Online Tutorial =
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 "[[Jenn-KellonFreedom]]" and "PA Help" chat tab.
Some of the information printed here is covered in more depth in the [[Basic_Knowledge|Basic Knowledge]] article.
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]].
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]]s. Priests are dedicated to following the will of their gods, and as such, 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 [[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 buy premium and move to the premium servers, [[Wild]] and [[Freedom]].
The [[:Category:Skills|skills category]] is by far the most interesting 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. Like most everything in Wurm, skills 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.
Spell effects, or “[[:WikiPedia:Buff (MMORPG terminology)|buffs]]” as they are known in other games, are temporary magical effects that affect your character.
== 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 starting town tutorial area on [[Golden Valley (the Independence server)|Golden Valley]]. Depending on At the end of the kindom tutorial, you chose, it will be able to use a portal to move to a player server. ''Please review [[GlitterdaleServer types]] for to understand the kingdom of [[Mol-Rehan]] or [[First Light]] for differences between the kingdom of [[Jenn-Kellon]]various servers. '' The starting towns are 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 them 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 [[Crocodile|crocodiles]]) can pursue you across water.
* 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.
=== 1. 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.
=== 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 +, you have successfully made your first item of food.
# Take the pottery bowl out of the fire and eat the casserole if you are hungry. Otherwise, store the casserole in your inventory for later, but if you are logging of its a better idea to store it in a container.
As you cook more food, your skill will increase and you will make better and better food. Once you gain access to [[meat]], [[fish]], and [[vegetable]]s and have a [[frying pan]], you can start making [[meal]]s food with other ingredients. Meals will increase your nutrition quicker and generally have a higher nutrition value than casseroles of the same quality.
== What Next? ==
* If you are lucky and ask around, you might be introduced to a nice [[village]] or neighborhood to live.
