The best Finding a place to start would be settle in Wurm is a somewhat difficult task. On some servers, however, there are villages for new players to stay, such as the Inner City Orphanage on the Independence(Freedom) server. These villages will allow you to learn the ropes of the game while also letting you gain skill levels and personal experience with the game so that you may move on without being totally overwhelmed. To help you find a nice place with:to settle, we provide these simple guidelines and resources to account for in your new settlement.

Close or not to far from water Water is a good place to much needed resource, and should always be especially accounted for around a new playersettlement. Finding a water source in cave, lave, river, or stream would be great. It doesn't matter where it comes from, but you're going to need water to fill your thirst meter. Being sure that a water source is around your settlement should be one of the first things to think about.

Not too far Ensuring that a mine is close by is extremely important. Most of the things you'll be creating will be made from either stone or iron. Both of these materials are obtained through mining. A good distance would be somewhere close by that isn't a complete pain in the toe to cart back and forth between. Another thought would be to set up a small 'camp' inside of the the mine, be sure you have permission to do this if it's a public mine or a rock face.Most public mines already have forges and Bulk Storage Boxes close by to use. Creating your own isn't very difficult, see [[mining]] for more details.

You don't want to be building on someone else's building plans so check in local or kingdom chat to see if anyone's is building near you. Space is important, so make sure you have plenty of space between your neighbors. Be sure to ask your neighbors before you start building, this will keep you on good terms with your neighbors, which may prove very useful for the both of you.

As a new player , wood is going to prove extremely useful in your future endeavors. Whether you're going to be part of a main resource village or decide to go off by yourself, you're always going to need wood. Wood isn't hard to find, just look for most of the games items so find a pretty forest with big trees like Pine. Before cutting trees down though, Cedar and maplemake sure that they are 'Very Old'. See [[Woodcutting]] for further information on the topic.
