Steep slopes require you to climb. To climb a surface, click on the '''Climb''' button in your Event window. If you carry a lot of items, your stamina will drop like a stone while climbing, and fairly fast while walking. And you can not climb trees, sorry.
The [[Compass]] is one of your most important tools for getting around Wurm. To see your [[compass|Compass]], make sure it is in your inventory then place it wherever you like in your [[HUD]]. You should also know where the [[WhiteLight]] is at all times. It is a good point of reference when trying to find your way. Currently, the [[WhiteLight]] is only in the [[Wild Server]]. Last, but not least, you can look at a [[Settlement token|Token]] to see a wind rose.
Note that when your green stamina bar goes down to nothing, your speed while walking will slow dramatically, and that if you are climbing and it drops to less than about half way, you will stop climbing and may fall.
=Chat=
In the lower left corner (by default), you have the chat-dialog. This is were you talk in Local, Kingdom, Village (when you become a citizen on a deed), and private messages.<br>
The people shown in your local chat are the players within about 1 kilometer radius from your position. Both darklighters blacklighters and whitelighters can talk here. As a new player, you talk in the Jenn-Kellon kingdom chat, where only whitelighters can talk.<br>
To talk in kingdom when the window isn't open, use the '''/shout''' -command, like so ''/shout Look out for the truck!''
These are listed next to the buttons on the event window.<br>
''Bloated, Full, hungry, starving:''<br>
These are states relating to your orange Hunger bar.<br>
''Tired, Exhausted:<br>
These are states relating to your green Stamina bar. When you are Exhausted, you will walk slower. You will also be far more vurnerable to attacks.<br>
=Death and Dying=
When you die you will loose 0.25 skill. With the exception of the newbie items you get when you first start, your items will be on your corpse. You'll need to find it to get them back. Also, you will be on a red and black screen with a little box in the middle, you will have to choose where you want to respawn. If you are dead and you cannot see the little box, type /respawn in your chat window.
While you have no deed, or are not an [[Alliance|ally]] of one, you will only be able to spawn at [[Newtown]] or start (also [[Newtown]]). When you are on a deed, you will be able to [[Spawning|spawn]] there, if that deed has any [[Alliance|allies]] you will be able to [[Spawning|spawn]] there also.
