 When a mob is engaged by NPCs, you can run around it and attack it from behind.  Even if it appears to turn toward you, it may still be attacking an NPC; keep an eye on your combat log.  In this case, you should switch your attack stance from normal (sword) to aggressive (axe).  This way, you will earn fighting skill for aggressive without much risk.

 One of the first things recommended for any new player to do is to make (at least one) clay jar(s).  One is adequate and will hold enough water for personal use over a few game days.  First, though, you have to:
-) Find some clay - on Freedom Deliverance, where you enter the world at Green Dog, the closest I have found is south of The Sanctuary.  At the lake on the south border of The Sanctuary, on the far side of the land bridge (which is on the left/east side) is a deposit of both sand and clay.

+:# Make a [[Clay jar]].  You might as well make a [[Clay bowl]] too.  Using your character window (equipment page), activate your hand as if it were a tool (double click on it - it is in the lower right corner of the character window).  You will probably not be completely successful on the first try.  This will result in an unfinished clay jar or bowl , and the icon is a darker grey than the clay icon.  If you do succeed, the icon for the clay jar or bowl will be the same color as the clay icon.
