==Make some new tools==
From here on out, the only difference between hardcore and normal Wurm is the lack of weapons while you are building your own set of tools and weapons (and armor and whatever else you decide to build). Being able to defend yourself is an undeniable advantage, but tools are far more important to you at this point. Especially an [[anvil]], a [[pickaxe]], a [[hatchet]], and a [[carving knife]].
