→‎Common problems of new players: - silly Q/A and excess blank lines, +links and settings section cleanup, event box -> status bar, pelt emphasis on asking first then killing vs. other way around
== Common problems of new players ==
===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 [[hatchet]] 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 (the left hand won't be used if you do), or armor on other bodyparts.
===Q) Where do I get a pelt?===A) [[Pelt|Peltspelt]] are is a product from [[large rat]]s, [[wild cat]]s, [[mountain lion]]s , and [[dog]]s. In order to get one, you first have try asking if someone in the area already has one, as they can be very common (and usually [[decay]] if stored and not in the [[player]]'s inventory). You may be lucky enough to find one for sale at a [[trader]]. Alternatively, find and kill one of those these animals. then you have to and 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 [[tradermeat]], or you might find a more experienced player willing to give or sell you a peltand other animal parts.
===Q) Can I starve to death or die of thirst?===A) No. If those bars are empty, you won't be able to perform some [[stamina ]]-draining actions (like [[mining]]) and your [[stamina]] will recharge very slowly. For more information, read see [[Basic Knowledge]].
===Q) How do I make moneyWhy wont my [[stamina]] regenerate?===A) Unlike other games you This may have playedbe caused by lag, having "Hungry" and/or "Thirsty" in the [[Bank of Wurm|moneystatus bar]] is not gained from killing monsters, but rather from the sale of items you have crafted to other players and swimming, or your [[tradersclimbing]]switch is activated.
