===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.
 
 
 
===Q) Where do I get a Pelt?===
 
 
 
A) [[Pelt|Pelts]] are a product from [[Large Rat|Large Rats]] and [[Wild Cat|Wild Cats]]. 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 will get a pelt. 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 go up very slow. FOr more information, read here: [[Basic Knowledge]]
 
 
 
===Q) How do I get food?===
 
 
 
A) If you have been playig 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 [[How do i get Food/Cook guide|How do I get Food/Cook guide]].
 
 
 
===Q) Where are the rest of my beginner tools?===
 
 
 
A) When a new character is created, some of your equipment is automatically equiped. So, check your Torso and Hands. See [[Inventory]] for further details.
 
 
 
===Q) How do I get new basic tools?===
 
 
 
A) It is prefired that you try to retrieve your original tools if possible. To do this, you need to find your corpse. Note that your tools could have been taken by a [[Blacklighter|BLer]], but if you have just started, they would probably not be of interest to them. If you are unable to get your original tools back, you can re-start the game as a guest, then simply walk out of [[Newtown ]]and drop your tools on the ground. When you re-start as your propper character, you can pick the tools up.
 
 
 
===Q) How Do I make money?===
 
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 with other players and [[Trader]]s.
