It is possible to swim reasonable distances across water, however if you run too low on stamina while in the water you will start to drown and eventually die if you don't make it back to land (or a [[Ship|boat]]). This makes crossing large bodies of water, such as those which separate the servers very difficult without a boat. While unladen and unarmoured, you can swim at about 8km/h. You are generally quite safe from animals while in the water, as most cannot swim, however it should be noted that while in the water you suffer a large [[combat rating]] (fighting) penalty, so it's not recommended that you fight anything while swimming. You cannot drag a [[small cart|cart]] into water, ; instead you may use a [[raft]] which functions the exact same way but only works on water. To travel on water you can use boats as well, There are 6 types of boats with each different speed, size and cargo hold
cleanup, minus redundant boat info
== Description ==
''Water '' is found at the on [[Wurm]]'s coasts , lakes, and lakes of wherever the world[[terrain]] is low enough. Other than a safe refuge from a variety of non-swimming [[animals]] and [[monster|monsters]]s, it has a number of practical uses and can be collected in [[containers]].
== Usage ==
To collect water, [[activate ]] a [[container]] capable of holding liquid, such as a [[pottery jar]], [[pottery flask]], [[small barrel]], [[bucket]], or [[bucketsmall barrel]], right-click a [[water tile]], and select '''[[fill']]''. The [[action ]] is executed on the tile itself, so if it's too deep you will get a message that "you You are too far away".
Once collected, you can use water foris used to:
* Drinking Drink to regain [[stamina]] regeneration (you can also do this directly on the tile)* [[Temper]]ing metal [[smithing]] items* Treating Treat [[pottery]] items before hardening in a fire* Mixing Mix with other items using [[alchemy]]; for example, to make [[paint]]* As a cooking ingredient Cook with for [[gulasch]] and [[porridge]]
== Water level ==
Water at sea level is universally set throughout the whole of WURM, Wurm and as such is always the same. This also applies when [[mining]] tunnels. If you mine mined deep enough you will hit sea level will be reached and create a submerged [[cave floor ]] tile. This , which can also be used to collect water from, just like any other submerged tile.
== Travelling on the waterways ==
It is possible to swim reasonable distances across water but if the [[player]]'s [[stamina]] falls too low while in the water it will start to [[drown]] and eventually [[die]] if the player does not make it back to land (or a [[boat]]). This makes crossing large bodies of water, such as those which separate the [[server]]s very difficult without a boat. While unladen and un[[armour]]ed, a player can swim at about 8[[km]]/h.
You are generally quite safe from animals while in the water, as most cannot swim; however, it should be noted, while in the water you suffer a large [[combat rating]] (fighting) penalty, so it's not recommended that you fight anything while swimming.
