*'''Green: Stamina''' - Your stamina will decrease while doing fatiguing tasks and increase while resting.
Before you leave the safety of the New Town deed (all land areas owned by someone is called a deed), you should gear up.
To equip your items; Open the inventory and expand all trees, now click and drag the ''Wooden shield'' onto your ''Left arm''. Put the ''Small axe'' in your right hand, and drag the ''Backpack'' to your torso.
Your equipped shield will help block attacks, and you will use your axe 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!)
I hope you enjoyed the swim.<br>
You might have noticed some creatures ontop of the shore, it is adviced you stay away until you have some decent skills and weapons. Be extra careful around bears and rats, as the can swim.
=== Hazards ===
As mentioned above, exploring is not without risk. There are several hazards and creatures to look out for, some of them is mentioned below.
*'''Caves''' - The most common newbie killer is the caves with locked gates in the entrance, uncareful players might fall into the cave and never get out. The only option is to use the ''/suicide'' command.
*'''Pits''' - A bit less common, if lucky, you might just be able to climb out.
*'''Huge Spiders''' - Keep on a distance at all costs. Can be outrunned on paved roads.
*'''Bears and rats''' - Most creatures can't swim, so you are safe in the water... but these can.
*'''Thorn bushes''' - Walk through them and they'll tear you apart.
*'''Steep hills''' - Steep hills and cliffs may give you minor foot wounds, but a long hill might just kill you.
== Your first pice of art ==
Now, when you have your nice warm fire, rightclick it and select open, then drag your claybowl into the campfire container. It will take a great time for the clay bowl to harden into a pottery bowl, so make sure you keep the fire alive.
== Feeding yourself ==
Finding food is relativly easy, however, you won't stay full for long on just berries and parsley.
<br>You have 5 ways of getting food;
*'''Foraging and Botanizing''' by going ''Nature > Forage/Botanize'' on grass tile. This gives you seeds, berries, herbs, and even potatoes or corn. But, a grass tile can only be foraged and botanized once every 24 hours, don't be surprised if you don't find anything!
*'''Fishing''' on tiles with water by using a fishing rod. You can either make the rod yourself, or trade for one.
*'''Hunting''' and butchering killed animals for meat, pelts and other items.
*'''Farming''' sowed fields with various farming tools.
*'''Trading''' money or items for food.
Raw items won't feed you much unless you cook them. 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 your 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.
== Improving and finishing items ==
Improving and Finishing items works pretty much the same way as creating them, except that you may need special tools or items for the job. To see what your ''unfinished clay bowl'' needs, examining it will tell you what it is.<br>
Your clay bowl will probably have to be molded with a wooden spatula or a clay shaper. You need to make the clay shaper or spatula from a wooden shaft, which you get by using a carving knife on a log. You should know how to do this by now.<br>
*'''Finishing:''' Activate the required item and rightclick the unfinished bowl, if it's the correct item there will be an option that sais ''Mold'' or ''Water'' ,depending on the item, on the top of the menu. Keep an eye on the event log to see what it needs next.
*'''Improving:''' Improving works the same way as finishing, except that the option is under the 'improve' submenu.
