Book 1 New Player Training Preface:

Here I sit making a record of what I know and what I have seen. For being the help for the helpless, some would say being a pain to others, or those who I ignore. Let me start with the basics of help and the start of your new life in wurm.

Chapter 1: Starting Out The easiest thing to do is die but living is much more fun. From the soul to the heart here is a basic start. Learn to forage and botanize tiles, each and every grass tile you come across, because who knows there may be something there you want.

**Right click a grass tile and select the option of forage or botanize. You may not find anything your first tries, especially near Newtown(NT)

Chapter 2: That Clay Thing Once you get into the habit of that, (foraging and botanizing) you need to find some clay.

**There is clay just west of NT also a larger deposit further south along the east bank

Once your have found clay Activate your shovel to start digging!

**You activate your shovel by first opening your inventory <F3 key/>, expanding your inventory <left clicking the + sign beside “Inventory”, and double left-clicking the shovel or shovel icon.

You dig by right-clicking the tile of clay and selecting dig.

**You have to be standing on the clay tile to get any clay.

Chapter 3: Moulding the Clay Once you successfully dig clay, it will appear in your inventory. Activate your hand and left-click the clay in your you inventory (Inside your <F3/> window left click on the body menu above the inventory and expand the '+'). Now go down to where the arm is and expand the arm sub menu. You should see a hand sub menu. Activate your hand by <double left-clicking/> it and proceed to right clicking the clay in your inventory. Select create>bowl or create>jar. Don’t worry if you end up with unfinished bowls or jars, keep them as it will pay off later. Make sure you have at least 2 clay bowls, and 2 clay jars.

Chapter 4: Starting a Fire Now you’ll want to start a fire to bake your clay items into pottery<//>. You will want to find an old tree. (You can discover the age of a tree by right-clicking the tile that the tree is on and selecting examine). (Chop fruit trees. Everybody hates fruit trees… especially lemon trees) The reason you want to use the apple trees or fruit trees is because they have the least amount of wood and are good for skill. Activate the small axe in your inventory (using the same method described in activating your shovel)and right-click the tile the tree is on to elect to chop the tree down. It may take several attempts to do this (as you only do a certain amount of damage dependant on certain factors - examine the tree tile to see how much damage you’ve done) but it is good for skill.

Once the tree is cut down, a log or felled tree should remain on the tile. Pick up the log (or right-click the felled tree, with your small axe activated, and elect to chop it into smaller pieces), use your carving knife or saw on the log, depending on how much weight the log has. If the log has 4.0kg or more make a plank, if it has less, make a shaft. **You will more than likely fail the first few times you do this but it is well worth the effort.

Now that you have wood scraps you can combine them to make a bigger pile of wood scraps, you do this by expanding the '+' (beside the wood scrap in your inventory). Once you can see how many wood scraps you have there are 2 ways to combine them.

The first way is to click any wood scrap and activate it then right click on another scrap and combine them. Or if you want to combine 10 at a time, you select and activate any wood scrap other than the first in the list and right click the pile of wood scraps right of the '-' is and select combine. This will combine 10 to 11 of the scraps into a single pile - continue until you are left with 1 pile or happy with what you have.

Activate your carving knife and right-click the pile of wood scraps that you just combined. If it is bigger than 1.5kgs then make kindling out of it. Repeat this process until you have at least 1 kindling.

Once you have at least 1 kindling in your inventory you are free to make a campfire. You do this by selecting your steel and flint and right clicking the kindling and selecting create>campfire.

Chapter 5: Keeping Your Fire Lit Ok, congrats you just make your first fire in wurm, now to keep it lit. For future reference you can add any amount of peat, logs, kindling or wood scrap to the fire to burn but anything over 25kg is a waste. The way to tell whether a fire needs fuel to burn, examine the fire and you will notice the message it brings up in your event window which is very important to read. It will tell you if it has plenty of fuel or not, but here is a base outline:

Glowing coals = Needs fuel right away Starting to fade = 2 to 3 minutes to get fuel for fire Much unburnt material = 4 to 5 mins to get fuel for fire.

The way you add stuff to burn to your campfire is by activating what you want to burn and right clicking the campfire and selecting burn.

Chapter 6: Cooking Ok now you know the basic of fires lets get to cooking. It is a skill that may be easier for some to raise than others, but here it is in a simple idea if it is within 10 of skill you gain skill, if it is not, you receive nothing for skill. The better your skill the better your results of your soups and other items cooking requires.

Now, the question arrives how do I get my items in the campfire, on you right click the campfire and open it. This will open another empty box, once you have the empty box opened your inventory again and move the items like the clay bowls and clay jars to the empty campfire box that opened. Go ahead and put the items you foraged and botanized in there as well, it will take the better part of an hour to get the first clay jars and bowls to the stage where they are glowing and become pottery items.

The jar is for you to hold a small amount of water in your inventory to start with, the bowl is used to cook soups and casseroles. Once the items have become pottery you can put stuff in them, like items to make a soup. As long as you have 2 different items you can make soups like a berry and a herb, but note it cannot be 2 berries, it will not work. Take the pottery bowl out of the campfire then take the items that you foraged or botanized back out of the fire one at a time, and place it in the pottery bowl. Once you have 2 items in the bowl, examine it, it will show up in event window, read the difficulty of the item if it is within 10 of skill you will gain skill. Starting out you will want to make soups to raise skill. The difficulty should be 4 to make the soup, put the pottery bowl back into the fire and expand the '+' once it turns into soup eat it it will raise your hunger level a bit, but if it is raised to far, you may not be able to eat the soup so don't worry. You have a few choices to make at this point in time, you can either pour it out, that is if you have more foraged and botanized items in the campfire to make more soup with. Take the soup and move it to your jar, click and drag method. Or keep it in the bowl for later.

Ok now that you have at least 2 pottery bowls and 2 pottery jars. Now to move on to more challenging things. To finish those unfinhes clay pottery, cut down more fruit trees, be it apple, lemon, or something else, activate your carving knife and right click the log, you want to choose to make a wooden spatula and a wooden clay shaper to finish your unfinished clay jars and bowls. Examine each of the items to tell what is needed to compete them, back to the event window and read. If it tells you that water is needed to finish the items, fill your empty jar with water by activating the jar and right clicking a water tile or a tile that has water on it. Select fill. Expand the '+' and activate the water and use it on the unfinished items. Good for skill.
