 *60 mins. Go find a flat spot to practice digging and get your Digging skill to at least 10, preferably 15. Just dig 2 dirt, drop them, repeat - until your skill is high enough. This may take an hour or so but is going to be invaluable almost anywhere you are starting up. You can dig on any slope that is 3x your skill or less. 15 is mostly a great starting skill but takes a bit longer than 10.

 I hope this guide has helped get you started with a lot less confusion than can be the case. As I said, Wurm is a game of limitless possibilities where you really need to set you own goals, but I hope it has helped you get an idea of what you can do by having a structured walk-through of how to get going.

 The second type is more mature but makes the forgivable mistake of getting so into the game that they burn themselves out. They grind for hours to get the next point of skill and forget that Wurm is a game. I have done this myself, set myself some enormous goal and focused entirely on that one thing till I was so sick of doing the same thing for hour after hour of game time that I had to quit the game for a month or three just to recharge my batteries.
-Wurm about having fun and having the chance to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Always remember to set yourself realistic, achievable goals or you will honestly just get sick of playing, just the same as can happen in any other game.
+Wurm is about having fun and having the chance to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Always remember to set yourself realistic, achievable goals or you may encounter frustrations, just the same as can happen in any other game or in real life.
 When you begin to find that what you have been doing is getting tedious, cut yourself some slack and jump out of the rut before you get into it. A change '''is''' as good as a rest, so change your focus and try a new skill or go exploring or just take a break from the game and go watch TV or something.

 * Do not destroy roads or public pathways. Both premium players with deeds and GM's can enforce penalties against destructive players. Digging within one tile of a road may damage it.
 * Don't steal stuff (its a right click menu option). Doing this usually means you will be attacked by guards in or near the area.
