Hit F1 on your keyboard to access the game console. The console is not commonly used by the ordinary player, except for turning on the additional client statistics window where you can see your current speed, distance travelled and other nice statistics. To open the statistics window, open the console and type in “toggle stats” without the “”.<br style="clear:both;"/>

Major overhaul. Will complete after I've eaten some lunch :)
= Wurm Online Tutorial =
Welcome to the unofficial Wurm Online tutorial. This tutorial will teach you how to feed yourself and how crafting works in the world of the Wurm. == The Wiki ==What you You are currently reading in now is the official Wurm Online Wikipedia. Just like the original WikipediaWiki, the Wurm Wiki which is a large, online encyclopaedia containing all sorts an encyclopedia of information, in this case specifically about Wurmthe game. The Wiki is written and updated a collaborative effort by dedicated Wurm players who feel a need to help out other people in regards to informationand developers. In the Wiki you will find many different types of informationsuch as tutorials, from guides like this one, over small bits of fan fiction & lore to information about the different player made cities and construction guides to almost any item ingame. To find information in the Wiki, just type your request in the search bar to your left, for instance, if you want to know how to create and use a catapult, you can just type in “catapult” and it will take you to a page containing building instructions as well as small bits maps of info on using the catapult. As the Wiki is made by the playersworld, do not expect it to always be 100% correct. Much of the current Wiki was written during the beta test descriptions of Wurm Onlinetowns, and thus, some pages can be a bit outdateditem descriptions. You might also If you cannot find that the Wiki can be lacking any information whatsoever on a specific subject, you require in this unlikely case, it is a good idea to ask ingame or on the forums. Just make sure that you have checked the Wiki properly to see if the information you seek is not there somewhere before you start askingwiki, as quite a lot of people will just tell then you to check can request help in-game using the Wiki if you ask too many questions'Jenn-Kellon' chat tab. If you at one point should feel like you have the ability to add to the Wiki, you can [http<br style="clear:both;"//www.wurmonline.com/forum/privmsg.php?mode=post&u=59 send a private message to a GM] on the forums to request a Wiki account. == The interface ==>
== The Interface ==
[[Image:Tutorial Menubar.jpg|right|thumb|HUD Status Bars]]
First of all I will explain the interface. In the upper left corner of the game window you will see some text and a few coloured bars, I will explain these one by one.
=== Skills ===
[[Image:Tutorial Skills.jpg|right|thumb|A list of common skills]]
Hit F2 on your keyboard to show a list of your skills. There are 4 main categories in this window, [[characteristics]], [[religion]], [[Category:Skills|skills category]] and spell effects. The characteristic subskills are values representing the current state of your body, mind and soul, for instance, to be able to attack anything, your body characteristic must be at least 1.5, or you will be too weak. Each sub-characteristic is again divided into several under-under characteristics, which has their own functions. For instance, the maximum amount of weight you can carry is determined by your body strength.
Spell effects, or “[[:WikiPedia:Buff (MMORPG terminology)|buffs]]” as they are known in other games, are temporary magical effects that affect your character.
=== F3: Inventory === <br style="clear:both;"/>[[Image:Tutorial Inventory.jpg|leftright|thumb|250px|The Inventory window]]The inventory menu (F3) contains 2 thingstrees, your body and your [[inventory]]. Your inventory is where you carry the items you start with, create and pick up. Your body is where your equipped items are placed, as well as where wounds will be located when you take damage. If you click the + next to your body you will see your various body parts, as well as what they contain of wounds or equipment. The “Active:” on the bottom shows which tool or item you are currently using. To activate an item, double left-click on it.<br style="clear:both;"/>=== The bars === [[Image:Tutorial Menubar.jpg]]
=== Status Bars ===
[[Image:Tutorial Menubar.jpg|right|thumb]]
Underneath the white text are 3 coloured bars. The green one is your stamina bar and tells you how much energy you have left to do actions. When you perform an action, your [[stamina]] will go down and you will need to wait for it to recharge before you do another action, or the action will take much longer to finish. Tired people work slower. The speed with which your stamina bar recharges is determined by your food and water bars, the orange and blue ones underneath the stamina bar. You can refill your water bar by drinking water from a [[Water tiles|tile with water on it]], or from a container in your inventory. The food bar is refilled by eating, how to get food is explained later in the tutorial.
All actions except for moving are done by right-clicking. Try right-clicking a few things to see what options are available. Once the right click menu has loaded, you will at the bottom of it see an option saying “What’s this?” Clicking this will open an ingame window with an explanation of the item you right clicked on.
=== The chatboxes Chat and Events ===[[Image:Tutorial Chatboxes.jpg|800pxright|thumb]] The Wurm Online interface also consists of 2 text boxes, one for talking with other players, the other for the game to deliver messages to you. The Local tab is for chatting to people that are near you, you can see which people can see your messages in the list in the right side of the first box. The Jenn-Kellon tab is a global chat for all players of the same kingdom on your server. If you wish to send a message that only one other player can see, you can type in <em>“/t playername message”</em> to open a tab where you and <em>“playername”</em> can chat together in private.
The Event chat is, as mentioned, where you receive information from the game. If you fail or succeed an action, get attacked or the server is shutting down, this is where you can find the information. The buttons underneath it are used for toggling your status. “[[Climbing]]” will enable you to go up steep slopes, but it will heavily reduce your stamina, and you can not regain stamina while climbing. [[Faithful]] allows you to do actions that your god frowns upon, although you will lose some faith from it. When [[Lawful]] is activated, it will prevent you from doing illegal things. If you go unlawful, you can steal items, but be warned, guards do not like thieves.
The text next to the Lawful button displays more of your current status. The first word is your current fighting style, the rest can be either a warning about low stamina, low or high food and low water levels. <br style="clear:both;"/>
== The first steps First Steps == <br>You move using [[Image:Tutorial Bistro.jpg|right|thumb|[[Newtown]]'s Bistro]]* Move about with the WSAD keysW, S, A and turn around D keys. Turn by holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse. Pretty simple there. When you first start out There is no jump key, movement in Wurm, you is very simplistic.* You will be start the game in [[Newtown]](NT). Newtown is a town owned by the game [[developers]], and NT is a relatively safe haven for new players, but as soon as you leave Newtown NT you must be wary of the many [[creatures]] that inhibit the lands of Wurm. The most fearsome beast you are likely * Take your bearings using the [[Settlement_token]] in the centre of NT. This is found on the path next to encounter the trader huts. On top of the token is the huge spider, a threat that will tear you apart in a matter of secondscompass. * If you get attacked by an animala [[creatures|creature]], try to flee across flat land or up/down/across into water. Only a not very steep slope few animals (using the W key and/or a combination of W+A or W+D keys). Caution: Some animals such as [[Large Rat|rats]] and [[Brown Bear|bears]] ) can swim! Most other types of [[animals]] will stop chasing pursue you once you have entered the water for a few tiles (this depends somewhat upon how deep the across water is). By the way, don't worry about drowning because your character will auto-swim if the water is too deep for you to walk. * Village guards will attack and kill most aggressive creatures that enter deeded land so if you can make it into a deeded area (such as New Town) you should be safe. [[Image:Tutorial Bistro* For the first 24 hours of your Wurm playing time (real life time spent ingame) you can get free food at the huts in NT.jpg|right|thumb|400px|[[Newtown]]'s Bistro]]
=== 2. Pottery Bowl ===[[Image:Tutorial Clay.jpg|right|thumb|Digging for [[Clay]].]][[Image:Tutorial Pottery.jpg|right|thumb]]# You will need clay to make a pottery bowl. Clay is found near water.# There is a small patch of clay on the northwest shore of NT, but it is useless due to overuse.#For a reliable source of clay, head directly North out of NT (use the compass on top of the NewTown [[Settlement_token]] to find your bearings) and swim up-river to the north. Hug the coastline to your left as you head north, and you will eventually cross a crude land-bridge spanning the river.#Keep following the coastline around the beachhead to the left and you'll begin heading more to the west. Where this coastline begins to turn back north again there is a very large area of clay which should meet your needs.# Once you find a clay tile, stand on it open your inventory and dig with double-click your shovelto 'activate' it. To do this, activate your # With the shovel'active', right -click the on your clay tile and select 'dig. This will take about 11 seconds if you have full stamina.'<br style="clear:both;"/>Once you have # You should then obtain a piece of clay in your inventory, you must activate . Find your right hand (sounds sillyRight Hand in the 'Body' inventory, I know). Activate and make it and right active by double-clicking# Right-click on the clay. Select create -> containers -> clay bowl. # If you fail at firstcreation of the bowl fails, try again repeat the steps until you succeed. If you make an unfinished clay bowl, keep trying until you make a finished one, but save the unfinished for when you have the tools to finish it. # Make a few clay bowls and perhaps also a clay jar this way, and continue to the next stepwhile you're at it.
=== 3. Fire ===[[Image:Tutorial PotteryTrees.jpg|300pxright|thumb|Tutorial Trees.jpg]]
To make the clay bowls into pottery you will need to heat them in a fire, which leads us to the final item for making food; the campfire. Find a tree, they look like this:
Once you find a batch of trees, go around examining them until you find one that says either “old” or “very old”. These trees give the most wood, and as thus, are the best to chop down. Activate your small axe and chop the tree. It will take a few chop actions, you can see how much damage the tree has by examining it.
[[Image:Tutorial Cutting.jpg|200pxright|thumb]]
Note: I do not recommend cutting down fruit trees, if you can find a pine, cedar, maple or birch tree, chop down that one instead, as you will need more wood for fuel. Fruit trees give very little wood.
Once it reaches 100 damage, it will disappear and a felled tree or a log will be in front of you. If it is a felled tree, right click it and select “chop up” to make a log. Once you have a log in front of you, right-click it and select “take”. You will now have the log in your inventory. With your small axe activated, right-click the log and select create -> miscellaneous -> kindling.
[[Image:Tutorial Kindling.jpg|300pxright|thumb]]
Once you have a kindling, you can make a campfire. To do this, activate your steel and flint and right-click the kindling. Select create -> containers -> campfire.
[[Image:Tutorial Campfire.jpg|280pxright|thumb]]
If you succeed, you will make a campfire in front of you:
[[Image:Tutorial Fire.jpg|300pxright|thumb]]
Note: The campfire needs fuel to burn. If have more log, activate it and right-click the fire and select burn. You will need to fuel the fire with about 20 kg of wood every hour or so, you can see its status by examining. If it does not say “The fire burns steadily and will burn for a long time.” You need to put on fuel.
Once the clay bowl have turned into a pottery bowl, this will happen once the clay bowl has been glowing from heat for a while, take it out of the fire as well as the spices and berries. Now drag one berry and one spice onto the pottery bowl in your inventory so they are located inside the bowl and examine it. If it says something about casserole, put the pottery bowl inside the fire again (with the stuff in it), and click the + next to it. If you can still see the ingredients, they have not been warm enough, and you should continue feeding the fire until they disappear and a casserole appears instead. If you see the word “casserole” when you click the +, you have successfully made your first food. Take the pottery bowl out of the fire and eat the casserole if you are hungry. If not, save it for a rainy day by taking it out of the bowl and putting it in your backpack.
[[Image:Tutorial Casserole.jpg|right|thumb]]
Now know, the food you make here at first is very bad, and will not fill you up very much, but it will fill you enough to make you able to work and have decent stamina regeneration, which is key for everything in Wurm. When you cook more food, your cooking skill will increase and you will make better and better food. Once you gain access to meat, fish and vegetables and have a frying pan, you can start making meals much the same way as the casserole, just with other ingredients. Meals are special since they can fill you 100%.
You can also borrow a [[forge]] to smelt [[iron ore]] and create your first weapon; a [[Short Sword]].
The [[Short Sword]] has to be equipped in your right hand for most efficencyefficiency, you can later use this sword to kill attacking, weak, animals such as [[Large Rat]]s.
You should also create a [[Butchering Knife]] so you can get pelts and food from your killed creatures.
