* 8 Fighting - it helps you survive but this skill is very hard to raise - use a QL 1 shaft on practice doll at the start
* Animal Taming - its fun and eventually the animals you gain as pets can be awesome - but this is not a priority skill
= SO WHAT DO I DO? =
== The game is really all about exploration, survival and '''skill'''. ==
Wurm is extremely deep, having many layers and a vast array of possibilities.
This guide has told you more or less what every Wurm player ''must'' do at the start but you dont actually have to. You can just grab your newbie toolkit and run out into the world to explore.
Its very hazardous and you will probably die but very fun also.
Eventually, though, you will almost certainly find yourself doing the things described here and asking yourself 'What now?'
Honestly, you really do need to have a bit of that pioneering spirit, the ability to be self motivated and the courage formulate and pursue your own goals.
For myself I have mostly found that a fairly natural process though. You build your house and you realise that you need or want some tool, weapon, bit of furniture or more space to farm in .. and there you have your goal. Terraform a large space for fields. Make your house bigger so that you have more storage space. Make a better weapon so that you can kill better or some armour so that you dont die quite so quickly again.
== And, of course, money! ==
Money is a great luxury in Wurm just like it is in the real world. With money you can buy much better equipment, or save yourself the time and difficulty of building a boat. You can buy the land you live on and safeguard yourself against wild animals and destructive players.
You can exist in and enjoy the game on a basic account. Its a bit restrictive with its 20 skill cap but not so limiting that you cannot get a lot of great fun out of playing. There are hundreds of things to make and many many skills to develop.
So there is plenty to do before that 20 cap means that you have done it all. And along the way you always have the chance to make some cash working for another player.
=== The Reward Tool ===
Or you can look at [[The Reward Tool]] which is accessible, [[http://shop.wurmonline.com/WurmWeb/index.jsp here]], and earn yourself some ingame pocket money.
=== Premium ===
At the end of the day though, the advantages of premium are huge. You can raise your skills much higher and so achieve a lot more, set more interesting and extensive goals. Become a reknowned crafter or explorer in ways that a basic account player simply cannot.
Some aspects of the game are only available to premium players.
As a premium player with high skill, the potential to make money selling your handiwork to other players is much greater. You can become financially self sufficient inside the game without spending real money. Its difficult but its been done by many hard working, perseverant players.
