−
−	~~__NOTOC__~~
−	~~=== Q) How do I get started? ===~~
−
−	~~A) There are 3 things that are considered essential to getting started:~~
−	~~# You need to start developing your cooking skills, go here: [[Guide To Cooking]]~~
−	~~# You need to build a house, go here: [[The "how do I build a house?" guide.]]~~
−	# ~~You need a chest with a lock for secure storage, go here: [[Secure Storage]]~~
−
−	* It is strongly recommended that you form or join a group, as cooperation is a key part of succeeding in any task.
−	* Try to stay close to [[Newtown]] until you get the hang of the game.
−
−	~~===Q) What's the difference between equip and activate?===~~
−	A) An active item can be used to interact with the world around you, like cut a [[Terrain:Tree\|tree]] down with your [[small axe]] active. You equip a weapon which is then used automatically while in [[Fighting\|combat]].
−
−	~~===Q) How do I activate an item?===~~
−	~~A) Double click on it. It will show up at the bottom of the [[inventory]] next to '''Active:''' This means that you can use the item for the tasks it is designed for.~~
−
−	~~===Q) How do I equip a weapon?===~~
−
−	A) Put it in your [[inventory\|right hand]]. A second [[:Category:Weapons\|weapon]] can go in the [[inventory\|left hand]], but it is used less often, so put your main weapon in your right hand. When you do so, you will get an [[Basic Knowledge~~\|event message]]: 'You equip a [[short sword]] in your right hand'. You may also want to put a shield on your left arm (the left hand won't be used if you do), or armor on other bodyparts.~~
−
−	~~===Q) Where do I get a pelt?===~~
−
−	A) [[Pelt\|Pelts]] are a product from [[large rat]]s, [[wild cat]]s, [[mountain lion]]s and [[dog]]s. In order to get one, you first have to find and kill one of those animals. then you have to use a [[butchering knife]] to butcher the corpse. If you are successful, you may get a pelt or meat and other assorted products. Alternatively, you may be lucky enough to find one for sale at a [[trader]], or you might find a more experienced player willing to give or sell you a pelt.
−
−	~~===Q) Can I starve to death or die of thirst?===~~
−
−	~~A) No. If those bars are empty, you won't be able to perform some stamina draining actions (like mining) and your [[stamina]] will recharge very slowly. For more information, read [[Basic Knowledge]].~~
−
−	~~===Q) How do I get food?===~~
−
−	A) If you have been playing less than 24 hours, you can get free food by visiting The [[Creature:Bartender\|Barkeep]] in the tavern at [[Newtown]]. While you take advantage of this free food it is recommended that you begin gaining skill at cooking, it is essential to the game. Start by making a [[pottery bowl]] and [[foraging]] some food, then cooking it in a fire. More detail can be found at the [[Guide To Cooking]] and the [[Tutorial\|New Player Tutorial]].
−
−	~~===Q) Where are the rest of my beginner tools?===~~
−
−	~~A) When a new character is created, some of your equipment is automatically equipped. So, check your Torso and Hands. See [[inventory]] for further details.~~
−
−	~~===Q) How Do I make money?===~~
−
−	A) Unlike other games you may have played, [[Bank of Wurm\|money]] is not gained from killing monsters, but rather from the sale of items you have crafted to other players and [[traders]]. You could also convert real-life <strong>€</strong>'s<sup><small>(Euros)</small></sup> into <del><strong>¤W¤</strong></del>'s<sup><small>(Wurm currency/silver)</small></sup> using the [http://store.wurmonline.com/ Wurm store]...
−
−	~~===Q) Why is it so dark? I can't see===~~
−
−	~~A) * The problem may lie with your graphics card. Check to see if it features a gamma adjustment setting. If so turn it up very high.~~
−	~~A) * The game features full day/night cycles and nighttimes are fairly dark. Time in Wurm is 8x real time so the darkness should only last 1 to 1.5 hours.~~
−
−	~~===Q) How do I use a large anvil?===~~
−	~~A) The [[large anvil]] is best used by carrying it in the [[inventory]] and making the [[lump]] active.~~
−
−	~~===Q) How do I change game settings? How do I get better frame rates===~~
−
−	~~A) On the log-in screen, there is an options button, you can change the settings there. More information on those settings can be found [[Client Configuration\|here]]~~
−
−	~~===Q) What weapon should I create first?===~~
−
−	~~A) A 10 [[quality]] [[short sword]] is good for killing rats and such.~~
−
−	~~===Q) Why am I moving so slowly?===~~
−
−	~~A) There are many factors that can reduce your speed:~~
−
−	* Rough terrain
−	* Carrying heavy loads
−	* Wearing armour
−	* Having low stamina
−	* The "Hurting" status
−
−	~~Also, make sure the "climbing" toggle is switched off.~~
−
−	~~===Q) What are percentages on creating items?===~~
−
−	A) The percentage listed on the create menu is the chance that you will succeed, all modifiers taken into account. However, unlucky streaks can and will happen. Failing ten times in a row with 95% success rate is very bad luck, not a bug.
−
−
−	~~===Q) Why wont my stamina regenerate?===~~
−	~~This may be caused by lag or you having "Hungry" and/or "Thirsty" in your event box, or your Climbing switch is activated.~~
