Hello, fellow Wurmian! If you are reading this, then you must be looking for some help fighting the various NPC creatures in Wurm Online. I will say this now, because it is probably the most important information you will need starting out: your starter shield and sword ARE NOT real combat gear! New players can easily die to a dog (one of the weakest creatures in the game) using the starter gear. You will need 20ql weapons, armor, and shields to start out, at the bare minimum.
==Necessary Gear==
===Weapons===
Your weapon is the tool you will use to deal damage to your target (with some exceptions). It can also be used to block some attacks, with the parry (block) rate determined by the type of weapon you use. Each type of weapon deals a different type of damage, has strengths and weaknesses to different types of armor, deals a different amount of damage, and has different special moves.
*Swords
**Shortsword
***one handed
***cutting and piercing damage
***low amount of damage

**Longsword
***one handed
***cutting and piercing damage
***medium amount of damage
***high parry rate

**Two-Handed Sword

***cutting and piercing damage
***high amount of damage
***high parry rate
***four second swing timer (three seconds in aggressive mode)
***recommended for non premium players and those with low shield skill, as well as those who want a high DPS (damage per second) weapon; about the same damage as a medium maul with a one second (two second in aggressive mode) swing timer
*Mauls
**Small Maul
***one handed
***mauling damage
***low-medium amount of damage
***medium parry rate
***three second swing timer
***recommended for those who want a fast weapon which will create a lot of lower damage wounds
**Medium Maul
***one handed

***high amount of damage
***medium parry rate
***five second swing timer
***recommended for those who want a one handed weapon that will deal large wounds at the expense of speed
**Large Maul
