{{Cleanup}}
A quick 'Exploring For Newbies' page, outlining some of the items which may help you survive your first off-path wilderness exploring.
The goals of this is to:
* Suggest some necessary items to carry
* Try to fit everything in under ~20kg to maximize [[movement speed]], and minimize [[stamina]] loss.
==Things You Need==
* Some type of [[Food]] Items. Possibly carrying a [[Bowl]] to cook in while exploring.
* A [[container]] for water. Good Choices might be [[Water skin]], [[Flask]] or a [[Jar]]. The latter two can be created by anyone with access to clay and fire.
== Things to Heal Yourself ==
* [[Cotton]] is probably the best. Derivatives also work, such as [[string]], [[rags]], and [[cloth tailoring]] items such as [[Cloth Gloves]], [[sheet of cloth]], even ''[[Cloth_tailoring#Sails | Sails]]''. The important factor is the [[QL | Quality Level]], or QL of the item.
* [[Healing Cover]]s - Components for HC's can also be [[forage]]d, which every character can do without tools.
== Useful Tools ==
* [[Steel and Flint]] for making fires to cook food, and seeing in the dark. Also useful for lighting [[torch]]es if you happen to find some [[tar]].
* [[Rope]] probably one of ''the'' most useful tools for newbies. With a rope, you can lead + eventually ride a [[horse]] (Assuming you have or can get the 21 [[Body Control]]
== Extraneous Useful Tools ==
* Read up on the [[moons]] of wurm. Valrei and Jackal are handy if you can discern which way they're currently moving.
* The only animals to cross water are [[alligator]]s and [[brown bear]]s. All other aggressive animals will stop at sufficiently deep water. Use this to your advantage.
* Always try to maintain 1/2 stamina. Try for 3/4 until you learn how to 'lose' aggressive critters. When running you'll be surprised how quickly you can run out of stamina, and for a new player that often leads to death.
* Water damage from [[drowning]] will fix itself once you rest for abit on land. Also, STOP MOVING when you take drowning damage - the damage applies randomly as you're moving. So you want to be moving as fast as possible in this state.
