==== Statusbar ====

*'''Green: Stamina''' - Your stamina will decrease while doing fatiguing tasks and increase while resting.
*'''Red: Damage''' - Your wounds and health is are displayed here. When the bar goes all red, you're dead.
*'''Blue: Water''' - How much water you have in your body. This controls how fast you regain your stamina.

You cannot die from thirst or hunger, but you won't be able to perform many tasks.<br>
Hovering the mouse over any of these bars will give you a percentage (%) leveland your nutrition level. Note: All foods can fill you up, but they will only fill up your nutrition so far which has many positive effects when high, and many negative when low. The status bar group can be clicked and dragged to a position of your choosing.
==== Chatbox and Eventlog ====
[[Image:Tutorial Chatboxes.jpg|800px]]<br>
In the lower left is the chatbox, here you can communicate with other players and send special slash-commands (/help) to the eventlog. By clicking on the 'Jenn-Kellon' Kingdom tab, you can talk globally to all players on the same serverin your [[Kingdom]]. If the Jenn-Kellon /HotS/Mol-Rehan chat tab is not available, you can type ''/shout <message>'' in the local channel to open the J-K channelit.
In the lower right is the eventlog. All nearby and global events are listed here. <s>There are three buttons in this window;</s>
*'''Climbing''' allows you to climb on steep areas as long as you have enough stamina.
*'''Faithful''' controls whether or not you can go against the will of your god. (When you start, you are not aligned to any god.)

'''[ [[Climbing]] | [[Faithful]] | [[Lawful]] | [[Inventory]] | [[Console]] | [[Compass]] ]'''
= The first steps =
I assume you must be eager to get started, so here we go.
You will find a few NPCs (Non-Player Characters) in your starting town, such as [[trader]]s and [[Bartender|bartenders]]. Interact with a bartender by rightclicking him and click ''Ask for refreshment'' once the menu has loaded. This NPC will give you free food and water until you have played for longer than 24 real-life hours. You can check how long you have played by entering ''/time'' in the chatbox. Wurm game time is 4x faster than real time.
'''[ [[Newtown]] | [[Deed]] ]'''
=== Gearing up ===
Before you leave the safety of the New Town deed (all land areas owned by someone is called a deed)your starting area, you should gear up. <s>To equip your items; : Open the inventory (F3)and expand all trees, now (click the +'s). Now click and drag the ''Wooden shield'' onto your ''Left arm''. Put the ''Small axe'' your starting weapon in your right hand, and drag the ''Backpack'' to your torso.</s>Your equipped shield will help block attacks, and you will use your axe weapon to attack.
You are now ready to head out on your first Quest. (There are no quests in this game, you make them up yourself!)
<br>Your first Quest is to find clay in order to make a Pottery bowl.
=== The Quest for clay ===
[[Image:Tutorial Clay.jpg|right|thumb|Digging for [[Clay]].]]
Take a look at the token outside the buildings, it has a sundial and a compass.
As you may have noticed, you walk at different speeds on different tiles, other things that may slow you down is:
*You have got a wound and is hurting
*You are carrying too much
*Ground Type
=== Hazards ===
Raw items won't feed you much unless you cook themhave very poor nutrition and will lower it till 5-10%. Cooking is done by heating ingredients and putting them in a pottery bowl, frying pan or a cauldron etc..
Put some ingredients in the pottery bowl you made earlier by dragging them onto the bowl, then examine the bowl to see what kind of food the mix will make. Once you're satisfied, put the bowl back into the fire and wait. Again, this may take a long time depending on the quality, QL, of the items. When the food is ready, you'll see that the ingredients has turned into one.
Different ingredients in different containers makes different foods, such as meals in a frying pan, gulasch in a sauce pan, porridge, stew, soup. But some foods will only feed you so much before you stop eating them.

===Treating wounds ===
You probably have gotten some wounds by now, don't worry, most of them will heal by themselves.<br>
To heal a more serious wound such as a ''severe'' or a ''bad'' one, you must to use ''Cloth rags'' or ''[[Cotton'' ]] on the wound to Firstaid it , or the wound might get worse and eventually kill you.
==== Creating a healing cover ====
Some foraged and botanized items has healing powers that may be used in alchemy to create healing covers. Healing covers will, as the name says, help heal your wounds faster.
If you find some herbs of different types such as garlic or parsley, you may try to use it on an other herb. If the herbs can create a cover, you will see an ''Alchemy >'' submenu... select mix.

=== Finishing, Improving and Repairing ===
== Trading ==
Rightclick a player or an NPC and choose ''Trade'' in the dropdown. If you find the trading process difficult to understand, then this section is for you.<br> Bear in mind there are no traders in the Golden Valley server.
It has four components;
*'''Traders offer''' This is what the person/NPC has to offer you.
*'''Traders demand''' This is what the trader wants from you.
Trader NPCs such as Jake back in the trading center next to the new town bistro will both offer and demand items, while Merchant NPCs only sells items for money.
=== Trader NPC ===
Drag your things into your offer box and the Trader will take what he believe is valuable into his demand, if it is valuable enough, the Trader will put money in your demand box.<br>
'''[ [[Trader]] | [[Personal Merchant]] | [[Trader Jake]] ]'''
== Mining ==
If you are still around the Newtown starting town area, there should be plenty of caves opened already. You just need to find an unlocked one with an iron vein inside...
...or you could do it the hard way, using your pickaxe to prospect for veins on rock and cliff tiles. (If you can't figure out how to do this, you should probably read the clay section again.)<br> Once you've found a good spot, start mining with your pickaxe. It will take some time to create a cave entrance, be patient. You probably won't hit a vein on your first try, so continue mining. I do suggest though that you look for an already opened cave.
'''[ [[Iron stone chisel]] | [[Stone Brick]] ]'''
==Fighting==
Even though the fighting in wurm is not a great experience, it is good to know how to do it. But first, feed the fire another log and make yourself a shortsword.
Equip the your shortsword in your right hand, and put the axe in wooden shield on your left '''arm''', not your otherhand.
Items equipped in your right hand will be used as the primary weapon while fighting, and left, your secondary weapon.<br>
=== Picking a fight ===
You don't want to fight a player on the home server golden valley you are on now, as this is illegal and will put you into outlaw statusnot even possible. See if you can find a weak animal such as a hen, chicken or even a pig. Do mind though that creatures with a red outline might attack you on sight.
Walk up close to the creature, select ''Attacks > Attack'' from the dropdown. You will begin fighting. Not much will happen in the even window, so rightclick the animal or any nearby tile and select ''modes > spam mode''. Spam mode will show all the misses and attack attempts in the event log. You can turn it off the same way you turned it on.
