Target

Main / Skills / Fighting / Target

Fighting in Wurm uses a target-to-attack system.

To enter combat, simply right-click the entity, and select target. Then, move within fighting range. There are 3 distances:

• Melee - move right up against the target
• Throwing - 1 to 5 tiles from the target
• Archery - up to 20 tiles depending on the bow
  • Short Bows are best shot from 5 tiles away
  • Bows are best shot from 10 tiles away
  • Long Bows are best shot from 20 tiles away

Multiple targets

If something is targeted that is too far away, and another player runs in to attack, the first player will not fight against that player but will instead parry and dodge the other player's attacks. If that happens, the player will not be able to change aim or shield bash.

Be aware of what is targeted

You show off some moves means you have no target or the target is out of melee range.
