This is usually the first question new players come to ask on the [[Jenn -Kellon ]] kingdom chat.

the information needed to construct a house so how . How to get those resources will be provided

To plan and build a house, you'll need a flat piece of ground, a [[mallet]](later you can also use an [[Iron Hammer]]), and for each wall 20 [[planks]] and a [[Large Nails]]. You'll also need some [[Carpentry]] skill dependant on how bigyour house will be. If you are in a [[:Category:villages | village]], you might want to ask for the Small nails, [[mallet]] and someone with high carpentry skill to plan your house.

Prospecting for Iron. When you prospect a rock tile it show all Ore viens veins within a 7x7 area, you can use this to approximate the location of the ever elusive Iron Vien. Once you get the message there is Iron nearby you can start to tunnel for it. The first rock tile will break after mining it approx 25 times, all further tiles inside the cave take around 50. After your two tiles in you can start mining at different angles, well up or down anyway. Once you recieve the message 'the wall will break soon' start mining up, mining down or mining(will go level) and your cave will go up, down or level. There are many methods of building a cave, one of the most thurough method is to make your main shaft about 10 tiles long, then mine side shafts every other tile going in both directions.<br>

Well, when you have found your precious iron Vein its Iron vein, it's time to start mining it to get to the ore, the "mine" options is also found in the "mining" submenu. Each mining action will deliver 20kg ore. Now you want to get to the iron inside the rock of these ores so you will have to smelt them, you do this by getting yourself another of those fancy logs and with your axe "create" a [[kindling]] from it, once you have this little nifty piece of wood you select your steel and flint, right click on the kindling and create a [[campfire]] with it (its under the container submenu). Now that you have your campfire its time to get smelting! Right click on your campfire and "open" it, drag the ore from your inventory to the campfires inventory. Next theres waiting - lots of it. MAKE SURE TO FEED THE FIRE WITH WOOD, OTHERWISE THE FLAMES WILL GO OUT AND YOU WILL HAVE TO START THE SMELTING PROCESS OVER FROM SCRATCH! I suggest you mine more ore while you do this but of course if you want to idle you can do that too. Right click on the ore and examine it to check how hot it is, once it reaches "glowing hot" you are very close to get your [[Iron Lump]]. When the ore has smelted it is replaced by a 1kg [[Iron Lump]] in the campfire, you will need atleast 2kg for the next step.

The [[Small Anvil]] is a crucial tool in wurm and this is what you will create now, get your 2 1.0kg [[Iron Lump]] from the campfire, (they have to be glowing hot for this to work) and activate one of them, rightclick on the other and choose combine. Now activate mallet you made earlier and right click on the 2kg [[Iron Lump]], again choose create and pick iron anvil. If you are extremly lucky you will pull this off at the first try, if you dont put your [[iron scraps]] in the fire and let them smelt again so they can become [[Iron Lump]] once more (this take a shitload of long time though , so rather mine you some more ore and smelt it up). Repeat till you have your anvil.

The higher the [[quality]] of your walls, the slower they [[decay]], and the harder it is to break them for an attacker. To see the quality of one of your walls, right click the wall and select examine. This will display [[quality]] and [[damage]] of the wall. <strong>Tip:</strong> <br> <br>

To improve your house walls, activate a [[Plank]], right-click your house wall, and select '''Improve'''. Success and amount of improvement depends on your [[Carpentry]] skill. <br>
