== Starting Out ==
The easiest thing to do is die, however living is much more fun. From the soul to the heart, here is a basic start.
=== Molding ===
If you've done everything correctly and successfully completed digging, you should now see an item in your inventory called "clay". Activate either of your hands under the Body section of your inventory (remember, double-click to activate) and right-click a piece of clay. You should notice a sub-menu called "Create". Hover over this menu and a list of things you can make with the clay using your hand will appear. Currently you may only create a flask, jar, or bowl. You should make at least 2 jars and 2 bowls so that you can hold plenty of water and be able to cook two meals at once. This is entirely optional, but it is recommended<i/><b/>Note</b/>: Clay items may turn out "unfinished", and you must examine them to learn what to do to complete them (tasks to complete unfinished items may require certain tools). This is also true for many other crafts.</i/> Once you finish creating your clay item(s)items, you may notice that you can't really do anything with them/it. Clay items are raw and need to be hardened by fire, which brings us to our next section...
'''[ [[:Category:Pottery Items]] ]'''
To add material to a fire for burning, activate it and right-click the fire, then select Burn.
 
=== Hardening Clay ===
Since you've learned how to create and maintain a fire, let's start learning how to harden clay into pottery, which is a fairly simple procedure.
 
To open a campfire for placing objects "inside" of it, right-click and and select the open option. You can drag items from your inventory into the window that appears, and that is how you cook, smelt, harden, and perform various other tasks. You should now take your clay items and place them inside of the campfire. They will go through various stages of temperature and ultimately harden into pottery items.
 
The time it takes for the items to harden depends on the quality of the items and the fire, but don't be surprised if it takes around an hour. You will have to maintain your fire and check on it quite often to make sure it doesn't fizzle out, so before you start doing this make sure you have the time to spend on it.
 
Once your clay items turn into pottery items, remove them from the fire and you've completed your first task.
== Cooking ==
Ok now you know the basic of fires lets get Now, on to cookingyour second task; sustaining yourself with food. It is a skill that may be easier for some to raise than others, but here and it is in requires a somewhat long amount of time to do. In cooking, you can create various types of foods such as stews, casseroles, and meals which you can only use below certain levels of hunger, depending on the quality of the food. To improve your cooking skill (you can view this by pressing F2), you must make dishes with a simple idea if it is difficulty of within 10 levels of your own skill. For example, if you have 1 cooking skill and you try to create a difficulty 42 casserole, you won't gain any skillfrom it. To view the difficulty of a dish you want to make, if place all the items in a pottery bowl and examine it is not. Many types of food can be created, and there are endless combinations of ingredients. However, there are certain restrictions that you must adhere to, such as you receive nothing for skillcan't use just two berries or two herbs. The better your skill You can create a stew out of 2 fish, so if you can manage to borrow or create a fishing pole, you can use that, but the better your results stew will be of your soups and other items cooking requiresvery poor quality.
NowTo create a stew or casserole, the question arrives how do I get my items in the campfire, on you right click the campfire drag and drop your ingredients into a pottery bowl and open examine itto make sure that your ingredients can create a dish. This will Then, open another empty box, once you have the empty box opened your inventory again a campfire and move drag the items like the clay bowls and clay jars entire pottery bowl to the empty campfire box that openedwindow. Go ahead and put You must now play the items you foraged and botanized in there as wellwaiting game. After a long while, <i/><b/>it all the ingredients will take the better part of an hour to get the first clay jars combine into a single item and bowls to the stage you can drag your pottery bowl back into your inventory where they are glowing and become pottery itemsyou can do whatever you wish with your new dish.</b/></i/>
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.<u/><i/><b/> 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.</b/></i/></u/>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.[ [[Cooking]] | [[Stew]] | [[Casserole]] | [[Meal]] ]'''
Ok now that you have at least <i/><b/>2 pottery bowls and 2 pottery jars</b/></i/>. 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, <i/>back to the event window and read</i/>. If it tells you that <i/>water</i/> is needed to finish the items, <i/>fill your empty jar with water by activating the jar and right clicking a water tile or a tile that has water on it</i/>. Select fill. Expand the '+' and activate the water and use it on the unfinished items. Good for skill.
