<font size = "5">(A quick guide for new playerson PvE servers)</font><br><br> ==I’m out of the tutorial – but where am I now?== You were sent to the starter town of the island you selected at the portal. This town is a protected environment, perfect for you to get acquainted with the game. To see a map of the island you are on, press “M”. On the map you will see a little purple house icon, showing the location of the starter town. Moving your mouse pointer over that symbol will show you the town name.  Note: Some islands have several starter towns. To determine which of them you are in, double click anywhere on the ground next to you and you will see a message in the “Event” tab, saying something like “''This is within the village of Glasshollow.''”<br><br> ==How do I move and look around?== In the tutorial, you learned how to move around using the arrow keys or the W,A,S,D keys. Please remember you can also look around by holding down your left mouse button while moving the mouse.<br><br> ==How do I switch to 3rd person view?== Press V to enter 3rd person view. The Minus and Plus keys will zoom in and zoom out.<br> Pressing V again will return to 1st person view. <br><br> ==Can I jump?== No, there is no jumping in Wurm Online – and it is usually not needed. You cannot pass obstacles like fences by jumping over them. There is a risk, however, to “fall” over fences if you accidentally drop down a steep slope – so be careful not to get trapped in an enclosed area.<br><br> ==I am walking very slowly. How do I run?== There is no “run” mode in Wurm Online. Your movement speed is determined by the weight you are carrying and the the terrain you are walking on. If your character appears to move extremely slowly, you are probably carrying too much weight, or you may accidentally have enabled “climb mode”.  * To find out about your current weight, open the character window by pressing “C” and move your mouse pointer over the little weight symbol in the upper left corner. The tooltip window will show your total weight and also inform you about speed penalties.  *To find out if you are accidentally climbing instead of walking, use your “quickbar” in the lower right of your screen. The first icon of the quickbar toggles Climb Mode. While playing Wurm Online your skills and body characteristics will continue to rise, and you will eventually be able to carry more and more weight without getting slower!<br><br> ==Why don’t I regain stamina?== [[Stamina]] (the green bar in your [[healthbar]] window) is decreasing while you are walking, swimming, or performing actions. As soon as you stop your current activity the stamina bar will slowly fill up again. How fast it fills up depends on the level of your hunger and thirst, as shown by the [[Interface_and_controls#Healthbar|hunger and food bars]]. There are a few cases when your stamina bar will fail to refill: for example if you are in “Climb Mode” (see above) or swimming in deep water.<br><br> ==I see creatures around me. Are they dangerous?== The world of Wurm Online is full of creatures! Some are hostile and will attack you if you come too close. Others are harmless and peaceful. To check just move your mouse pointer over the creature – if you see a red outline around it you should be careful: this creature is hostile and can attack you! Harmless creatures have a blue outline.<br><br> ==A creature attacks me. Can I survive?== During your first couple of days you should try to avoid any hostile creature, i.e. those showing a red outline, by just not moving close to them. However, should you accidentally have approached a dangerous animal and it starts to attack you, try to run away! If you have been hit you will be slowed down for a little while, but soon you will be able to move normally again. Please note that most hostile creatures are not able to swim (with a few exceptions, like brown bears, crocodiles, and of course marine animals), so it is a good idea to stay near the coast or lake shore and try to escape into water. Also: you should wear the leather armour you found in your inventory.<br><br> ==I see towers and tower guards. What are they?== [[Guard tower]]s are scattered around the islands; they are there to protect you! Around each of them you will find a number of special NPCs (“Non-player characters”), the tower guards. You can call out for them to help you against hostile creatures, but only if the creature is not too far from the guard tower (technically: within 20 tiles) and the creature has been “targeted” by you, i.e. it already attacked you and thus appears in your “target window”. To call the guards use your “Local” chat tab and enter “help” or “guards!” (without quotation marks). If the creature targeted is within tower range every call for help will alert 2 of the guards to run and attack it. After a cooldown time of 10 seconds you can call again and alert the next 2 guards to join in. A guard tower can have a maximum of 5 guards. Some special types of towers can even have more.<br><br> ==How can I find a safe place for the night?== The safest place during your first hours is the starter town! Explore it and get acquainted with the game. After leaving that safe haven you should always look out for hostile creatures and try to avoid them. When it comes to creature behavior there is no difference between day and night – however you may not be able to see them soon enough in the dark. Thus, it may be wise not to travel at night time, as long as you are brand new. Should you come by a developed area with houses, fields and fences, chances are high you are inside a player settlement, a village or town. These often have a special kind of guards: [[spirit templar]]s. They look like transparent white ghost warriors, and they will attack any hostile creature within the area of the settlement. This would be a safe place to stay!<br><br> ==I found a cotton tent in my inventory. What is it good for?== You can drop your [[starter tent]] somewhere in the wilderness, outside a settlement, by right-clicking it in your inventory and select "Drop - On Ground". It serves as a secure temporary storage for your items (no other player can take them from the tent) and as a respawn point. So, if your character dies (see below) you get the option to respawn at your tent, in addition to respawning at the starter town. To store items in your tent, right-click the tent and select "open", then drag and drop items from your inventory to the tent window. (''Do not just drop items on the ground inside the tent!'') Please note that the tent will not decay while in your inventory, but it will take damage once dropped. It decays rather quickly, so only use it as a temporary storage, and put it back in your inventory if not needed.<br><br> ==I died! What can I do now?== Dying is something to be expected during your first days in Wurm Online – so don’t be worried. You will lose a small percentage of your current skills (which aren’t very high yet anyway), and some of your inventory items will be missing. They remain with [[Death#Your_corpse|your corpse]] and can be retrieved later. The items are safe for quite a while; nobody will be able to take them as long as the corpse is lying on the ground – typically about 2 real days. When you die, a window will appear asking you where you want to respawn. You always have the option to respawn at the starter town, and – if you dropped your [[starter tent]] somewhere – near your tent. That’s why it is a good idea to drop your tent if you are staying at a place far from a starter town for a while. It is also possible to start over with nothing.<br><br> ==How do I find water and food?==

'''I’m out of You may have noticed that your water and food bar are slowly decreasing while you play Wurm Online. Don’t be worried too much: you cannot die from hunger or thirst! However, having full bars is always a good thing, because the tutorial – lower they are the slower you will regain stamina. Drinking water regularly is more important than keeping your food level up, because your body is able to “fast” several times if you become too hungry. “[[Fasting]]” will restore your food bar (while lowering your nutrition value; but where am I now?'''you don’t have to worry about that for the time being). Getting water is easy: just find a well or fountain, or go to the sea coast or any lake shore and drink! (Yes, you can even drink sea water!) Getting food is a bit more difficult. You can either [[forage]] at [[Resource nodes]] for vegetables or berries (which are not very nutritious), go [[fishing]], or try to cook a simple meal from fresh meat (look for animal corpses) and vegetables, using a campfire.<br><br>

'''How do I move Later on, when your skills have increased, you will be able to ride horses and look around?'''drive carts. For now, you will probably just walk! (Technically, even as a new player you could ride a cow – but they are pretty slow. Donkeys are a good alternative.) There is no “magical” way of fast travelling in Wurm Online, so no teleporting. One exception: When you decide to join an existing village, you will have a one-time option to teleport to that place.

:There is no 3rd person view in Wurm Online! Just Using abandoned vehicles, like in real life you only look through your eyescarts, wagons, and boats may seem tempting, however, so there it is only a 1st person view! Howeveractually very risky. As you are not the owner and don't have permissions for that vehicle you may easily get into trouble. When you happen to disembark the vehicle inside another player's settlement you will usually be unable to embark again and the vehicle will become useless. In these situations you will also lose everything you loaded into the vehicle, if as well as any animals you want hitched to know what your character looks like, it - unless you can open a special character window: open contact the main menu (by pressing “Esc” or owner of the letter “O”), then select “Hud settings” settlement and enable “Character window”.
