→Wurm Online Tutorial: Changed some things to fit GV
= Wurm Online Tutorial =
Welcome to the unofficial [[Wurm Online]] tutorial. This tutorial will teach you how to feed yourself and how crafting works in the world of the Wurm. You are currently reading the Wurm Wiki, which is an encyclopedia of information about the game. The Wiki is a collaborative effort by Wurm players and developers. In the Wiki you will find many different types of information such as tutorials, fan fiction and lore, [[map]]s of the world, and descriptions of [[town]]s and [[item]]s. If you cannot find the information you require in the wiki, then you can request help in-game using the "[[Jenn-KellonFreedom]]" and "PA Help" chat tab.
Some of the information printed here is covered in more depth in the [[Basic_Knowledge|Basic Knowledge]] article.
Hit F2 on your keyboard to show a list of your [[skill]]s. There are 4 main categories in this window, [[characteristics]], [[religion]], [[:Category:Skills|skills category]], and spell effects. The characteristic sub-skills are values representing the current state of your [[body]], [[mind]], and [[soul]]. For instance, to be able to attack anything, your body characteristic must be at least 1.5, or you will be too weak. Each sub-characteristic is again divided into several sub-sub characteristics, which have their own functions. For instance, the maximum amount of [[weight]] you can carry is determined by your [[body strength]].
Religion skills consist of 3 things, [[faith]], [[favour]], and [[alignment]]. Alignment basically says whether you are good or evil, this is determined by the actions you do. Some [[gods]] won’t accept your [[Praying|prayers]] if you are evil for instance. Faith is a measure of how much your chosen gods like you, e.g. how much power they bestow in you. Faith is increased by praying at an [[altar]] dedicated to your chosen god, although it is capped at 30 for players who does not wish to become [[priest]]s. Priests are dedicated to following the will of their gods, and as such, a priest has the ability to cast his or her god’s [[:Category:Spells|spell]] at the cost of favour. Favor is the equivalent of [[wikipedia:mana|mana]] in many other role-playing games. Favor is only regained over time once used, so it should be used wisely. Note that [[Golden Valley]] have no religion, so the religion skill can not be used until you buy premium and move to the premium servers, [[Wild]] and [[Freedom]].
The [[:Category:Skills|skills category]] is by far the most interesting as it lists all the skills you have discovered, as well as a number representing your expertise within that skill. As your skills increase you will find that the various tasks in the game becomes easier, and you will make better and better items. Like most everything in Wurm, skills [[decay]] over time, as well as when you [[die]], so take good care as your skills are the most valuable thing you have. Due to the skill decay, it is important to specialize if one wants to have high skills, as they will otherwise slowly decay.
* Move about with the keys W, S, A and D keys. Turn by holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse. There is no jump key; movement in Wurm is very simplistic.
* You will start the game in a starting town on [[Golden Valley (server)|Golden Valley]]. Depending on the kindom you chose, it will be [[Glitterdale]] for the kingdom of [[Mol-Rehan]] or [[First Light]] for the kingdom of [[Jenn-Kellon]]. The starting towns are a relatively safe haven for new players, but as soon as you leave them you must be wary of the many [[creatures]] that inhibit the lands of Wurm.
* Take your bearings using the [[settlement token]] in the center of your starting town. On top of the token is a [[compass]].
* If you get attacked by a [[creature]], try to flee into water. Only a few animals ([[Large Rat|rats]], [[Brown Bear|bears]] and [[Crocodile|crocodiles]]) can pursue you across water.
* Village guards will attack creatures that enter [[deed]]ed land so if you can make it into a deeded area (such as your starting town) you should be safe.
