# 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 is that white beam/light/line?===
 
 
 
A) It is called the [[White Light]]. At the base of it you will find the [[Altar of Three]]. From this you are able to become a follower of one of the three 'good' gods. Since Wurm went gold, the [[White Light]] is only seen on the [[Wild]] server. See [[Religion]] for further details.
 
 
 
===Q) What is that black beam/light/line?===
 
 
 
A) It is called the [[Black Light]]. At the base of it you will find the [[Bone Altar]]. From this you are able to become a follower of the one 'evil' god. Since Wurm went gold, the [[Black Light]] is only seen on the Wild server. See [[Religion]] for further details.
 
 
 
===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|small axe]] active. You equip a weapon which is then used automatically while in [[Fighting|combat]].

===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|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?===

===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.
