| − | === Q) How do I get started? ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A) There are 3 things that are considered essential to getting started:
| |
| − | # You need to start developing your cooking skills, go here: [[Guide To Cooking]]
| |
| − | # You need to build a house, go here: [[The "how do I build a house?" guide.]]
| |
| − | # You need a chest with a lock for secure storage, go here: [[Secure Storage]] | |
| − | | |
| − | * It is strongly recommended that you form or join a group, as cooperation is a key part of succeeding in any task.
| |
| − | * Try to stay close to [[Newtown]] until you get the hang of the game.
| |

| − | ===Q) What's the difference between equip and activate?===
| |
| − | A) An active item can be used to interact with the world around you, like cut a [[Terrain:Tree|tree]] down with your [[small axe]] active. You equip a weapon which is then used automatically while in [[Fighting|combat]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Q) How do I activate an item?===
| |
| − | A) Double click on it. It will show up at the bottom of the [[inventory]] next to '''Active:''' This means that you can use the item for the tasks it is designed for.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Q) How do I equip a weapon?===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A) Put it in your [[inventory|right hand]]. A second [[:Category:Weapons|weapon]] can go in the [[inventory|left hand]], but it is used less often, so put your main weapon in your right hand. When you do so, you will get an [[Basic Knowledge|event message]]: 'You equip a [[short sword]] in your right hand'. You may also want to put a shield on your left arm instead of a second weapon.

| − | ===Q) Where do I get a pelt?===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A) [[Pelt|Pelts]] are a product from [[large rat]]s, [[wild cat]]s, [[mountain lion]]s and [[dog]]s. In order to get one, you first have to find and kill one of those animals. then you have to use a [[butchering knife]] to butcher the corpse. If you are successful, you may get a pelt or meat and other assorted products. Alternatively, you may be lucky enough to find one for sale at a [[trader]], or you might find a more experienced player willing to give or sell you a pelt.

| − | ===Q) Can I starve to death or die of thirst?===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A) No. If those bars are empty, you wont be able to do some work, like mining and your [[stamina]] will recharge very slowly. For more information, read [[Basic Knowledge]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Q) How do I get food?===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A) If you have been playing less than 24 hours, you can get free food by visiting The [[Creature:Bartender|Barkeep]] in the tavern at [[Newtown]]. While you take advantage of this free food it is recommended that you begin gaining skill at cooking, it is essential to the game. Start by making a [[pottery bowl]] and [[foraging]] some food, then cooking it in a fire. More detail can be found at the [[Guide To Cooking]] and the [[Tutorial|New Player Tutorial]].

| − | ===Q) Where are the rest of my beginner tools?===

| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Q) How Do I make money?===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A) Unlike other games you may have played, [[Bank of Wurm|money]] is not gained from killing monsters, but rather from the sale of items you have crafted to other players and [[traders]]. You could also convert real-life <strong>€</strong>'s<sup><small>(Euros)</small></sup> into <del><strong>¤W¤</strong></del>'s<sup><small>(Wurm currency/silver)</small></sup> using the [http://store.wurmonline.com/ Wurm store]...

| − | ===Q) Why is it so dark? I can't see===
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | A) The percentage listed on the create menu is the chance that you will succeed, all modifiers taken into account. However, unlucky streaks can and will happen. Failing ten times in a row with 95% success rate is very bad luck, not a bug.
