Personal merchant

2011-03-24T08:15:12Z

Kediec: /* Managing */

== Description ==
''Merchant_<name> is here selling items on behalf of <player>.''

A '''personal merchant''' is an NPC that tries to sell anything you give him to other players. Then you can come back and collect the money.

Unlike [[trader]]s, personal merchants will not buy anything, they only sell items that the owner gives them, and the owner sets the prices.

[[Image:Merchant.png|left|thumb|200px|A merchant]]

== Contract ==
You can buy a [[personal merchant contract]] from a trader for 10 [[silver coin]]s.

You can sell or give the contract to another player, either before placing the merchant or after dismissing it.
Merchants trade ownership when the contract is traded.

If you change [[kingdom]], you will lose the contract, since the merchant stays in the old kingdom.

== Placing ==
Merchant can be placed either inside a finished [[house]] or on a tile that has a [[market stall]]. Go on the desired tile, and make sure no other creatures than you are on it. Right-click the Personal merchant contract in your inventory and select 'Manage traders'. Name your merchant, select the gender and click 'Send'. If the name is too long, a random name will be picked for you.

If you want to place a merchant on a [[deed]] in a building as a non-villager, you need to be on the [[writ]] of the building. If the merchant option is set on the deed, non-villagers may place personal merchants in market stalls.

If the building the merchant is in rots away, he will still be able to trade and be managed.

== Stocking ==

To add items to the merchant, right-click him and select '[[Trade]]'. Drag items from your inventory into the Your offer -window, and the merchant will drag them down to his Demand window. Note that the Prices shown there are his evaluations; if you have set the prices manually, the selling prices will be those. (To set the price yourself, right-click the item in your inventory, select Prices > Set price, and set the desired amount of Gold, Silver, Copper and Iron coins you want for the item.) Once finished, check 'You accept'.

You cannot put containers with items in them nor items inside containers onto a merchant, the container must be emptied first.

The inventory limit for a merchant seems to be about 50 - 55 items.

You can remove items from sale by dragging them from merchant's Offer window down to your Demand window and checking 'You accept'. You do not need to pay for them. If the merchant has gained money, he will give that to you as well.

== Managing ==

After placing the merchant, you can manage it by right-clicking the Personal merchant contract in your inventory and selecting 'Manage traders'.

'''Use local price''' means that the merchant will use his local supply when determining price for items. This is the default. Otherwise the price used will be the standard base value for the item.
'''Price modifier''' is the value he will apply to the price; default is 1.4 times the Get Price.
If you set specific prices on items, those prices will be used regardless of these settings.

If you see that the amount of money has increased in the ''Sold'' columns, remember to go to your merchant to collect the money. Note that merchant takes a 10% cut of the sales.

=== Changing Prices ===
To change prices of the items in stock, check '''Manage prices''' and click 'Send'. A window with all the items and their price fields comes up. Note that in a very busy place, the item may be bought before you change the price. To prevent that, begin a Trade session and leave it open to "lock" the merchant until you have set all your prices.

=== Dismissing ===
To dismiss a merchant, for instance to move it somewhere else, check the '''Dismiss''' box and click 'Send'. A dismissed merchant's items and money disappear, so make sure to take them all out beforehand.

==== Forced Dismissing ====
* If the merchant has not sold anything for over 28 days, he may disband, leaving just a sign behind.
* If you are away for several months, the merchant may leave or be forced to leave with all the items and coins in his inventory.
* Mayors can dismiss merchants for long gone villagers.
* If the merchant is wizkilled, he is dismissed, but he can still be placed again as usual.

== Notes ==
* You can also do Get Price etc in the Trade window. This will show you the Set Price of the item, if it was set.
* Items held by a Merchant can be Examined, by anyone, via the Trade window.
* Putting large numbers of low-value items on a Merchant is hardly worth the effort, as you have to set the price on each one individually, even if they are all identical.

Settlement

2011-02-16T12:08:20Z

Kediec: /* Description */

[[Main Page]] / [[Useful links for beginners]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

''To see a list of the current settlements, see the Category [[:Category:Settlements|Settlements]].''

== Description ==
A [[settlement]], or deed, is an area of land owned by a player or group of players: [[mayor]] and optional [[citizen]]s. A settlement is marked by a [[settlement token]] in the exact center.

See this website for details about the new deed system introduced in February of 2010: http://sites.google.com/a/wurmonline.com/new-deed-system/

<span style="color:red;">'''Placing or Trading an already Placed Settlement requires [[Premium]] Time.'''</span>

== Advantages ==
* Control of who is allowed which actions within the settlement area
* [[Deed guards]] protecting the settlement
* Setting reputations to keep out unwanted people (see [[Kill on Sight]])
* A settlement token to have your [[bank]] account at
* Reduced [[decay]] on [[structure]]s
* Maintenance of signs, lamps, banners and flags by spirit guards
* Village chat
* Instant logout when leaving Wurm inside the settlement (some exceptions apply)
* Respawn at your own settlement from anywhere on the map when you die
* Respawn at [[Ally#Allies_and_wars|allied]] settlements that are within 50 [[tile]]s when you die
* [[Skill]]-loss when dying on your own deed or allied deed is only 0.025. [[Suicide]]s have the normal skill-loss of 0.25
* [[Champion player|Champion]]s suiciding on a deed get a 50% chance of not counting as a [[real death]]
* [[Branding]] animals to show the village they belong to and to allow them to be lead by villagers
* A productivity bonus to item crafting for the citizens the older the deed is; see ''acquired knowledge'' in the village info at the token.

== Founding ==
To found a settlement, you must first obtain a [[settlement form]]. Unlike [[Writ of Ownership|writs]], which are created by building a [[house]], settlement forms must be purchased from an [[NPC]] [[trader]]. The price of a form is 10 silver.

Stand on the tile that you want your village centre token to be on, right-click the Settlement deed paper in your inventory, and choose Village > Found Village. A series of forms follows where you can set:
*Settlement size, east-west and north-south
*Perimeter size, beyond the five free tiles
*Village name and motto and whether it is a democracy or autocracy
*Number of guards.

Deed has a rectangular form. One edge of the deed can not be longer than four times the other edge. Minimum is 5.
Example: Settlement size east-west 5 and north-south 6 will create a deed 11 tiles by 13 tiles. To visualize the area better, make use of the Survey Area button in the forms that places temporary survey markers at the planned borders.

===Notes===
*Free player cannot plant a deed, even though they may own one (via trade or [[Account_Types#Premium|premium]] expiration).
*You need the writs for all buildings within your new settlement area held in your inventory.
*Settlements can only be founded within your [[kingdom]]. On the [[wild server]], this might require building [[guard tower]]s.
*If the founding tile of the settlement has a house or fences, the token is moved to a random spot away from them. The deed borders do not move with it. You cannot build a house or fence on the token tile later on either, but [[terraforming]] is possible.
*Token must be placed at least two tiles away from tiles submersed in water.
*Token cannot be inside a cave.
*Aggressive animals in local area prevent planting the deed, kill or lead them away first.
*The mayor can destroy any building on deed even if he/she has not got the writ

'''Tip:''' You can test whether you are able to plant a deed at your current location simply by trying to found it.

After founding, you can edit settings from token > Settlement menu, or Settlement deed paper > Village menu.

== Perimeter ==
The perimeter around a deed disallows non-citizens building structures and the founding of other deeds. Your deed perimeter cannot overlap with the perimeter of another deed, though they can share a perimeter border. On the wild server, the kingdom guards will hunt down any player that have less than -30 reputation in the deed within the perimeter.

The first 5 tiles around a settlement deed are free perimeter. You can extend beyond the free perimeter, but this will come at a cost. Initial fee per tile is 50 iron, with an added monthly upkeep of 5 iron. Perimeter can be resized at any time.

== Resizing ==
Deeds can be resized by the mayor at the token or with the settlement deed.
You cannot resize if the settlement is under siege.
There are no refunds for downsizing.

== Disbanding ==
* A deed may be disbanded. If manually disbanded, the owner receives half of the cost of the settlement form (5s), and all upkeep in excess of 5 silver. The owner will receive nothing back if the deed is disbanded due to lack of upkeep. The money is placed in the former owner's bank account. It is believed this money comes direct from the King; reasonable since deed money goes to direct to the King.
* Only people with the '''manage roles''' permission, or the mayor, may disband the settlement; citizens can stop a disband.
* Disbanding a settlement takes 24 real hours.
* When a village disbands, all its [[gate]]s are unlocked.

== Mayor ==
All settlements have a mayor. The initial mayor is the founder of the settlement. At any given time, the mayor is the one who holds the deed. Trading the deed makes the new owner of the deed the mayor.

=== Voting ===
Villages can elect a new mayor by a successful vote, by using the command ''/vote''. Success requires a majority: 51% of the votes if the village is a democracy, 81% if it is a dictatorship. Citizens may vote at any time, once per election. The election ends immediately whenever one candidate has received a majority of the votes, or when all votes have been cast. Elections can continue, even though the incumbent mayor is already clearly going to win, until a majority have voted. Each citizen is allowed only one vote per election, and can only vote for another citizen, not for themselves. A vote cannot be changed after it is cast. If a new mayor is elected, the deed transfers into their possession ''(not tested)''. Once an election is completed, a new vote will initiate a new election.

''Note: Vote command gives the confirmation message: "You vote for Name as mayor this week.", so possibly the mayor can only be changed once per week, regardless of the number of elections?''

== Citizens ==
A village can have many citizens, maximum being the number of deed tiles divided by 11. You may remove even that restriction if you pay double upkeep.

Inviting someone to join your village requires that you have the '''(make people) citizens''' permission. Right-click them and choose ''Invite to join''. They will get a Settlement invitation confirmation window.

If the village is a dictatorship, the mayor can remove citizens. Citizens can also leave on their own volition using the [[chat command]] ''/revoke <village name>''. Citizens of a democracy cannot be removed; they must revoke their citizenship. If you have become a citizen of a settlement in the past 24 hours, you will not be able to join a new village until 24 hours have passed.

Each citizen is assigned a role determining which actions are allowed inside the settlement. Customizing, adding and removing roles requires the '''manage roles''' permission.

== Guards ==
Settlements can be protected by heavy [[deed guards]]. Changing the guard settings requires the ''hire guards'' permission.

Guards will attack aggressive [[creature]]s that enter the settlement area, as well as any character with -30 or lower [[reputation]]. Negative reputation is automatically acquired when [[stealing]] and otherwise breaking the settlement rules. Citizens with the '''manage roles''' permission can also set reputations manually.

The maximum number of guards you can have is 1 guard per 49 tiles. Example: Guard amount of a 31x31 deed is 19.

Guards demand payment. Hiring each new guard will cost 1 silver summoning cost. This is deducted immediately from the settlement upkeep, before they spawn. Each guard also adds 30 copper to the monthly settlement upkeep.

Guards can be managed at the token under Settlement > Manage guards, or from the Settlement deed paper under Village > Manage guards.

== Upkeep ==
Upkeep money is taken from the village funds every month. If the upkeep fund is depleted, the settlement is disbanded automatically. A large upkeep fund reduces decay on buildings and [[fence]]s in the settlement. If the fund has more than a month of upkeep, there is no decay at all. Upkeep can be paid at the token under Settlement > Info or Settlement > Manage guards, or from the Settlement deed paper under Village > Manage guards. Anyone can donate money to the upkeep fund at the token, even non-citizens.

=== Upkeep draining ===
On the Wild server, citizens of the enemy kingdom can drain your token once all your deed guards are dead. An enemy draining your token will remove 15% of the monthly upkeep cost from the upkeep fund, of which the drainer receives half. Upkeep cost is treated as always being at least 5 silver, which gives a minimum drain of 75 copper (37.5 to the drainer). A drain can occur once every 24 real-time hours. Every time a deed is drained, the drained amount will increase by 50%. This is reset if the deed is not drained for 2 days

Draining cannot take more money than the upkeep fund actually contains. If a drain empties the upkeep fund completely, the deed will disband in a short while. (The reason given will be the generic lack of upkeep message.) Unlike normal disbands, no money is refunded to the former mayor.

== Allies and wars ==
Someone with the ''diplomat'' permission can make alliances or declare wars against other settlements.

=== Allies ===
* Allies can respawn on the deed if they die within 50 tiles of it.
* Allies have their own deed role.
* Allies have a green outline.
* Allies can loot your [[corpse]] when you're online.
* Allies can pick up items on the ground, even if they're on deed and your permissions would otherwise not allow people to do so

=== Wars ===
Wars are only possible on the wild server.

When a war is in effect, the normal penalties for same-kingdom fighting do not apply. Enemy citizens will have a red outline.
When declaring war it will come into effect 24h after the declaration, unless the other side accepts it, in which case it will start immediately.

== Permissions ==

=== Permission Roles ===
Each role can have a different set of permissions enabled. There are no known permissions that control butchering and burying.

; Build : Plan, color, and continue buildings and fences <br> Also allows [[lockpicking]]
; [[Forestry]] : Chopping down young [[tree]]s, picking [[sprout]]s, planting sprouts
; Cut old trees: is required for cutting down old trees
; Destroy buildings : Destroying buildings, [[building plan]]s, fences, and fence plans. Only works on citizens, not allies. <br> Also allows lockpicking
; Farm : Sowing, [[farming]] and harvesting fields <br> Also allows [[milk]]ing and leading [[animals]]
; Hire guards : Changing guard level
; Citizens : Making non-citizens into citizens. If your village has the maximum number of citizens, none can be added.
; Manage roles : Change role permissions and role assignments, change reputations <br> Also allows disbanding the settlement
; Mine rock and ore: [[Mining]]
; [[Terraform]] : Dig, pack, pave and flatten
; Expand : Expand the settlement with a larger deed
; Pass all fences : Passing through all fences, even locked ones
; Lock fences : Locking fences
; Attack citizen : Attacking citizens
; Attack non-citizen : Attacking non-citizens
; Diplomat : Form alliances, declare war, make peace
; Fish : Allows fishing
; DELETE : This permission will delete the role if set

These additional permissions are not linked to roles:
; Politics: Marking this will make the settlement a democracy

; Unlimited citizens: Allows the recruitment of citizens above the maximum amount. While you are above the maximum amount of citizens upkeep is doubled.

; Merchants: Allows placing of personal merchants

; Items and creatures : This allows ''anyone'' to pick up items and [[tame]] animals within the settlement (but not inside buildings). Allies are always able to do this, unchecked or not.

== Cost ==

Settlement

2011-02-16T12:03:09Z

Kediec: /* Description */

[[Main Page]] / [[Useful links for beginners]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

''To see a list of the current settlements, see the Category [[:Category:Settlements|Settlements]].''

== Description ==
A [[settlement]], or deed, is an area of land owned by a player or group of players: [[mayor]] and optional [[citizen]]s. A settlement is marked by a [[settlement token]] in the exact center.

See this website for details about the new deed system introduced in February of 2010: http://sites.google.com/a/wurmonline.com/new-deed-system/

<span style="color:red;">'''Placing or Trading an already Placed Settlement requires Premium Time.'''</span>

== Advantages ==
* Control of who is allowed which actions within the settlement area
* [[Deed guards]] protecting the settlement
* Setting reputations to keep out unwanted people (see [[Kill on Sight]])
* A settlement token to have your [[bank]] account at
* Reduced [[decay]] on [[structure]]s
* Maintenance of signs, lamps, banners and flags by spirit guards
* Village chat
* Instant logout when leaving Wurm inside the settlement (some exceptions apply)
* Respawn at your own settlement from anywhere on the map when you die
* Respawn at [[Ally#Allies_and_wars|allied]] settlements that are within 50 [[tile]]s when you die
* [[Skill]]-loss when dying on your own deed or allied deed is only 0.025. [[Suicide]]s have the normal skill-loss of 0.25
* [[Champion player|Champion]]s suiciding on a deed get a 50% chance of not counting as a [[real death]]
* [[Branding]] animals to show the village they belong to and to allow them to be lead by villagers
* A productivity bonus to item crafting for the citizens the older the deed is; see ''acquired knowledge'' in the village info at the token.

== Founding ==
To found a settlement, you must first obtain a [[settlement form]]. Unlike [[Writ of Ownership|writs]], which are created by building a [[house]], settlement forms must be purchased from an [[NPC]] [[trader]]. The price of a form is 10 silver.

Stand on the tile that you want your village centre token to be on, right-click the Settlement deed paper in your inventory, and choose Village > Found Village. A series of forms follows where you can set:
*Settlement size, east-west and north-south
*Perimeter size, beyond the five free tiles
*Village name and motto and whether it is a democracy or autocracy
*Number of guards.

Deed has a rectangular form. One edge of the deed can not be longer than four times the other edge. Minimum is 5.
Example: Settlement size east-west 5 and north-south 6 will create a deed 11 tiles by 13 tiles. To visualize the area better, make use of the Survey Area button in the forms that places temporary survey markers at the planned borders.

===Notes===
*Free player cannot plant a deed, even though they may own one (via trade or [[Account_Types#Premium|premium]] expiration).
*You need the writs for all buildings within your new settlement area held in your inventory.
*Settlements can only be founded within your [[kingdom]]. On the [[wild server]], this might require building [[guard tower]]s.
*If the founding tile of the settlement has a house or fences, the token is moved to a random spot away from them. The deed borders do not move with it. You cannot build a house or fence on the token tile later on either, but [[terraforming]] is possible.
*Token must be placed at least two tiles away from tiles submersed in water.
*Token cannot be inside a cave.
*Aggressive animals in local area prevent planting the deed, kill or lead them away first.
*The mayor can destroy any building on deed even if he/she has not got the writ

'''Tip:''' You can test whether you are able to plant a deed at your current location simply by trying to found it.

After founding, you can edit settings from token > Settlement menu, or Settlement deed paper > Village menu.

== Perimeter ==
The perimeter around a deed disallows non-citizens building structures and the founding of other deeds. Your deed perimeter cannot overlap with the perimeter of another deed, though they can share a perimeter border. On the wild server, the kingdom guards will hunt down any player that have less than -30 reputation in the deed within the perimeter.

The first 5 tiles around a settlement deed are free perimeter. You can extend beyond the free perimeter, but this will come at a cost. Initial fee per tile is 50 iron, with an added monthly upkeep of 5 iron. Perimeter can be resized at any time.

== Resizing ==
Deeds can be resized by the mayor at the token or with the settlement deed.
You cannot resize if the settlement is under siege.
There are no refunds for downsizing.

== Disbanding ==
* A deed may be disbanded. If manually disbanded, the owner receives half of the cost of the settlement form (5s), and all upkeep in excess of 5 silver. The owner will receive nothing back if the deed is disbanded due to lack of upkeep. The money is placed in the former owner's bank account. It is believed this money comes direct from the King; reasonable since deed money goes to direct to the King.
* Only people with the '''manage roles''' permission, or the mayor, may disband the settlement; citizens can stop a disband.
* Disbanding a settlement takes 24 real hours.
* When a village disbands, all its [[gate]]s are unlocked.

== Mayor ==
All settlements have a mayor. The initial mayor is the founder of the settlement. At any given time, the mayor is the one who holds the deed. Trading the deed makes the new owner of the deed the mayor.

=== Voting ===
Villages can elect a new mayor by a successful vote, by using the command ''/vote''. Success requires a majority: 51% of the votes if the village is a democracy, 81% if it is a dictatorship. Citizens may vote at any time, once per election. The election ends immediately whenever one candidate has received a majority of the votes, or when all votes have been cast. Elections can continue, even though the incumbent mayor is already clearly going to win, until a majority have voted. Each citizen is allowed only one vote per election, and can only vote for another citizen, not for themselves. A vote cannot be changed after it is cast. If a new mayor is elected, the deed transfers into their possession ''(not tested)''. Once an election is completed, a new vote will initiate a new election.

''Note: Vote command gives the confirmation message: "You vote for Name as mayor this week.", so possibly the mayor can only be changed once per week, regardless of the number of elections?''

== Citizens ==
A village can have many citizens, maximum being the number of deed tiles divided by 11. You may remove even that restriction if you pay double upkeep.

Inviting someone to join your village requires that you have the '''(make people) citizens''' permission. Right-click them and choose ''Invite to join''. They will get a Settlement invitation confirmation window.

If the village is a dictatorship, the mayor can remove citizens. Citizens can also leave on their own volition using the [[chat command]] ''/revoke <village name>''. Citizens of a democracy cannot be removed; they must revoke their citizenship. If you have become a citizen of a settlement in the past 24 hours, you will not be able to join a new village until 24 hours have passed.

Each citizen is assigned a role determining which actions are allowed inside the settlement. Customizing, adding and removing roles requires the '''manage roles''' permission.

== Guards ==
Settlements can be protected by heavy [[deed guards]]. Changing the guard settings requires the ''hire guards'' permission.

Guards will attack aggressive [[creature]]s that enter the settlement area, as well as any character with -30 or lower [[reputation]]. Negative reputation is automatically acquired when [[stealing]] and otherwise breaking the settlement rules. Citizens with the '''manage roles''' permission can also set reputations manually.

The maximum number of guards you can have is 1 guard per 49 tiles. Example: Guard amount of a 31x31 deed is 19.

Guards demand payment. Hiring each new guard will cost 1 silver summoning cost. This is deducted immediately from the settlement upkeep, before they spawn. Each guard also adds 30 copper to the monthly settlement upkeep.

Guards can be managed at the token under Settlement > Manage guards, or from the Settlement deed paper under Village > Manage guards.

== Upkeep ==
Upkeep money is taken from the village funds every month. If the upkeep fund is depleted, the settlement is disbanded automatically. A large upkeep fund reduces decay on buildings and [[fence]]s in the settlement. If the fund has more than a month of upkeep, there is no decay at all. Upkeep can be paid at the token under Settlement > Info or Settlement > Manage guards, or from the Settlement deed paper under Village > Manage guards. Anyone can donate money to the upkeep fund at the token, even non-citizens.

=== Upkeep draining ===
On the Wild server, citizens of the enemy kingdom can drain your token once all your deed guards are dead. An enemy draining your token will remove 15% of the monthly upkeep cost from the upkeep fund, of which the drainer receives half. Upkeep cost is treated as always being at least 5 silver, which gives a minimum drain of 75 copper (37.5 to the drainer). A drain can occur once every 24 real-time hours. Every time a deed is drained, the drained amount will increase by 50%. This is reset if the deed is not drained for 2 days

Draining cannot take more money than the upkeep fund actually contains. If a drain empties the upkeep fund completely, the deed will disband in a short while. (The reason given will be the generic lack of upkeep message.) Unlike normal disbands, no money is refunded to the former mayor.

== Allies and wars ==
Someone with the ''diplomat'' permission can make alliances or declare wars against other settlements.

=== Allies ===
* Allies can respawn on the deed if they die within 50 tiles of it.
* Allies have their own deed role.
* Allies have a green outline.
* Allies can loot your [[corpse]] when you're online.
* Allies can pick up items on the ground, even if they're on deed and your permissions would otherwise not allow people to do so

=== Wars ===
Wars are only possible on the wild server.

When a war is in effect, the normal penalties for same-kingdom fighting do not apply. Enemy citizens will have a red outline.
When declaring war it will come into effect 24h after the declaration, unless the other side accepts it, in which case it will start immediately.

== Permissions ==

=== Permission Roles ===
Each role can have a different set of permissions enabled. There are no known permissions that control butchering and burying.

; Build : Plan, color, and continue buildings and fences <br> Also allows [[lockpicking]]
; [[Forestry]] : Chopping down young [[tree]]s, picking [[sprout]]s, planting sprouts
; Cut old trees: is required for cutting down old trees
; Destroy buildings : Destroying buildings, [[building plan]]s, fences, and fence plans. Only works on citizens, not allies. <br> Also allows lockpicking
; Farm : Sowing, [[farming]] and harvesting fields <br> Also allows [[milk]]ing and leading [[animals]]
; Hire guards : Changing guard level
; Citizens : Making non-citizens into citizens. If your village has the maximum number of citizens, none can be added.

These additional permissions are not linked to roles:
; Politics: Marking this will make the settlement a democracy

; Unlimited citizens: Allows the recruitment of citizens above the maximum amount. While you are above the maximum amount of citizens upkeep is doubled.

; Merchants: Allows placing of personal merchants

; Items and creatures : This allows ''anyone'' to pick up items and [[tame]] animals within the settlement (but not inside buildings). Allies are always able to do this, unchecked or not.

Pet

2011-01-30T11:36:39Z

Kediec: /* Tamable animals */

== Description ==
'''Pets''' can be obtained by [[taming]] or [[charm animal|charming]] an [[animals|animal]].

== Handling a Pet ==
You can only have one pet at a time, so if you have a pet and tame another, your first pet will become untame. Pets that become untame will return to their normal hostile or non-hostile stance; ie. if the animal is normally hostile then it will begin attacking guards and players.

Other players cannot tame your pet, and you cannot tame another player's pet. You cannot kill your own pet.

You can give your pet to another player: right-click on the person and select '''Pet > Give away pet'''. They may need to type '/[[Chat commands|invitations]]' command first. They must not have a pet before. Their own taming skill must be high enough to keep the animal.

You can lead a pet with a [[rope]]. Make the rope active, right-click on your pet and select '''Lead'''. If your pet is an animal that can swim, then it will follow you into the water, otherwise it will go unhitched and stay on land.

== Orders ==

Pets can be told to walk to a [[tile]] within range of your mouse. Right-click the tile and select '''Pet > Go here'''. The pet will then walk to that spot (or not).

Pets can be told to attack another player or animal. Right-click the target and select '''Pet > Attack'''. The pet will then attack the target. A pet will auto-attack another animal if it is aggressive or if a player or animal is from another kingdom or their [[reputation]] is negative. This includes a friend's pet.

To tell a pet to stop going somewhere or attacking, right-click the pet or a tile and select '''Pet > Clear orders'''. It will cancel any orders to go places or attack, unless already engaged in combat. To stop your pet from attacking in the middle of combat, you must be leading the pet; then you can simply walk away and your pet will follow.
:Tip: If you end up fighting your own pet, either while trying to tame it or by some mishap, walk a few tiles away out of its range, issue the 'Clear orders' command and then right-click the ground and select 'No target' (if you have "Display 'no target' in menus" option checked in Settings).

You can decide if your pet should go offline or stay online when you log off. Right-click a tile and select '''Pet > Go offline''' to make it leave Wurm with you, or '''Pet > Stay online''' to make it stay in Wurm even when you are not.
