Once you have gone through the above guide, and wish to continue training fighting, then the following section would be advisable.
'''The Mount''' A Mount is an animal which is leadable by rope and can be ridden on for increased movement speed, or in this case a boost in Combat Rating. Using a Mount effectivly gives you an additional 10 Fightin Fighting Skill (2CR) and makes fighting alot easier, a good example in this case is that using a Mount would allow you to kill a Scorpion with a reasonable amount of Health left afterwards.
'''Use a Shield''' A Shield in wurm allows you to block incoming attacks from creatures, how often being based upon your Skill in the type of Shield you have chosen to use. The easiest way to train the shield is to gather a number(2-3) of pigs or another weak animal and attack them all at once. This method will allow you to reach 20 Shield Skill with general ease, after that its advisable to use penned Dogs.
'''DO NOT turn your back on the enemy''' In Wurm, there is a penalty to your chance to parry, dodge or avoid an incoming attack from an enemy if you turn your back, and to a lesser degree from the sides. If you are fighting something, you want to have it facing you. Later on when you feel more confident in your fighting abilities you may wish to use this penalty against the creatures you face, all things in wurm must obey the penalty so if you can make use of it to your benefit, do so.
'''Raise your skills efficiently''' There are several skill levels which are important to aim for in regards to fighting related skills. As you know, every 10 Fight skill you gain 2 1 CR, so a player with 19 fight skill is no different to a fighter with 10, always go for the rounded number.
Other skill levels worth mentioning are:
