	PvP, or player versus player combat, is a feature of Wurm where two or more players are pitted against each other in combat. PvP also extended to kingdom wide disputes, and the conquest of land and building of structures throughout the world of Wurm. Currently, the [[Epic cluster\|Epic]] and [[Server types\|Chaos]] servers are Wurm's PvP servers, while the rest of the Freedom servers are PvE (player versus environment.)

 '''Scale:''' Scale is the strongest armour available to players. It offers nearly no movement penalty, and has an extremely high (higher than plate) glance rate. The dodge rate is greater than that of drake, and weighs only slightly more than the drake set. Scale is very rare, and only a few players are seen PvPing in it. Wearing scale gives the player a substantial advantage in PvP.
-Armour, especially the higher tier armours, are often enchanted with [[AOSP]] or [[web armour]] to give an additional advantage to the player. AOSP returns a portion of the damage done to the player, and, just as vitally, adds the hurting status to the enemy. Web armour greatly reduced the movement speed of a player, and allows the person who was hit to retreat or call in their allies to go in for the kill. What enchant one gets on their armour is a matter of preference, although it is easier for BL to get web armour, and WL to get AOSP.

 If you die in PvP you do not lose skills as you usually would. Instead, you take a .25 hit to your fight skill, as well as a small loss in body strength. If a resurrection stone is not active, or the player is not a 70+ faith Magranon priest, all items are dropped on death, and can be picked up by the opposing faction and looted. PvP can be very high risk, because losing all of your items, including valuable scale and drake, is a possibility. Players may also lose an affinity on death, and it is transferred to an opponent who damaged the player. If you kill a player on PvP, or are apart of a kill, you can gain a few possible things. All kills on players with above 10~ fight skill will give fight skill gains. A seventy fight skill player will give roughly .25 at 70 fs. This scales as you or the enemy gains or loses in fight skill. If you get a hit on an enemy, you may also receive their affinity. There is no limit to the number of affinities a player can have other than a max of 5 in any one skill, and all players receive one upon start up. If they lose their last affinity they will receive another after a set period of time. Finally, upon killing a player or dying, a player gains or loses rank. All players start with 1000 rank, and give progressively less as they died. Contrarily, if a player with very high rank dies to one with a very low rank, the amount lost from the player is increased greatly. While you may find yourself gaining only one rank from a group kill, when you die you may lose twenty or more, as your rank has been spread across all of the players that killed you. Likewise, killing an opponent in solo combat will increase the amount of rank you gain, as there are no other players to spread the rank to. The same can be applied to fight skill.

-The current most common armour in PvP is a set of chain or leather armor with Web Armor enchant. Other armors are used less frequently, sometimes due to rarity, and sometimes because they are not useful in combat. Below is a list of armors, their frequency of use in PvP, and their individual advantages and disadvantages.

 '''Cloth:''' Rarely used in PvP. It is considered too weak for combat, however is a decent choice in a 1v1 scenario due to it's high dodge chance.

 '''Leather:''' Leather is often used due to it offering decent protection while still giving the 30 % increase to [[Archery]] and [[Spells]]
-'''Studded:''' Studded armor is rarely seen in PvP do to its weakness against piercing attacks. This makes the wearer highly susceptible to damage from swords, and pierces can often prove fatal. It has a better dodge rate than chain, and is considered to be more practical against blunt weapons. It also weighs much less than a full chain set, and is much less cumbersome to move speed.

-'''Plate:''' Plate armor is extremely cumbersome to the player. While it does slow the player down immensely, it has an extremely high glance rate, and damage done the player is greatly reduced. The weight of an entire plate set is over 20kgs, and as such, decreases the overall amount a player can hold.

-'''Drake:''' It is made from the hides of dragon hatchlings. Its glance rate is considered to be higher than that of chain, and it has a considerably higher dodge rate. The entire drake set decreases a players movement only slightly more than the great helm alone. While your chances of dying are reduced in drake, the loss is much greater than if one were to lose chain. Drake is expensive when compared the other armor sets, and cannot be as easily replaced.

 '''Short Sword:''' The short sword is rarely seen in PvP. It is does low amounts of damage, but has a high swing rate and is very accurate. It is one handed, and thus can be used with a shield.

 '''Pets:''' Having a pet in combat (usually a troll or crocodile) will give you what is known as 'gank bonus'. This greatly increases your chance to hit, and the chance of your pet hitting.
-'''Aiming:''' Aiming for any spot besides the torso decreases your chance to hit the player, however the torso is also the most resistant of all body parts. While you may land more hits, they will each do considerably less damage than hits to anywhere else on the body. When chasing someone down, people generally aim for the feet/calves, which will cause the greatest slow down in movement speed. If the player is not wearing a helm, the head is often aimed for, as a single powerful shot may kill them if it hits their unprotected face. When no obvious weak spots are present, players will normally aim for whatever piece of armor they think is weakest.

 '''Focusing:''' Each level of focus grants a +1 bonus to CR. This is the equivalent of 5 levels of fight skill in PvP. In one on one combat, it is highly recommended that you focus, in order to gain the upper hand in the fight. If one player gets to high focus, whoever gets the first hit in will often be the victor, as the they will immediately be in a position of power. Focusing takes four seconds, and the player is more vulnerable during this time. If you out focus your enemy, it is arguable that the disadvantage is made up for by the levels of focus already gained.

 '''Frost Brand:''' The Vynora equivalent of Flaming Aura but causes a frost wound.
-'''Rotting Touch:''' Causes infection wounds that get worse over time, and need special care to be healed. Higher power generates increasingly dire wounds. Instead of adding more wounds Rotten Touch increases the damage of for example the cut done by a sword.

 Many factors can be considered when one enter PvP in Wurm. All combat skills are used while PvPing, and these including your shield skill, weapon skill, fight skill, fighting stance skill, bow skill, archery skill, and player characteristics. Having higher in any of these can attribute to your success, however it is generally advised to be trained in at least one shield skill, weapon skill, and fighting stance of your choice. Overall fight skill is considered to be the most important skill in PvP, as it adds greatly to your overall combat rating. Having higher fight skill will allow the player to hit more, but so will having greater weapon and fighting sub skills. Having a higher shield skill is important to block both blows in up close pvp, and arrows for long ranged. Fighting stances are another choice the player must make. Currently, they can choose between Defensive, Aggressive, and Normal fighting modes, which all have their specific advantages and disadvantages. In long ranged combat, both bow and archery skill are considered important. Most frequently players use Long Bows, although Medium and Short Bows are considered to have their tactical advantages and lower ranges.
-Beyond skills the other major character attribute that effects PvP are the player characteristics. Body Strength, Body Stamina, Body Control, Mind Speed, Soul Strength, and Soul Depth all have some effect on PvP. Having higher body strength will allow you to hit harder, while having higher body stamina will increase your stamina. The over all body skill increases a player's "toughness", and therefor is also considered important, although it levels on its own with your other skills. Body control is believed to increase the players chance dodge and perform critical strikes. While the effects of Mind Speed let's you cast more spells before becoming overheated, it is considered to make focusing easier, and perhaps increase chance to hit, aim, and perform special moves. Soul Strength and Soul Depth factor into spell resistance and ability to cast spells. For priest, having a high Soul Depth and Soul Strength means the ability to cast stronger spells, while for normal players it will improve their resistance to said spells, as well as to the effects of the Orb of Doom. Because of characteristics important roll in PvP, crafters who decide to fight have a notable advantage in combat, assuming they train their skills to certain standards.
