First, read all of these: [[Useful links for beginners | New Player Guides ]]
It is vital to understand how to cook! High skill is not necessary but you do need to make sure you read the various cooking guides. [[Casserole]] is recommended for the new player since it tends to decay more slowly and has reasonable nutrition value.
*A [[hammer]] is vital. Mine 10 ore nad and attempt several of these until you get lucky and complete then one on the first attempt. You can use these this to attempt to improve each othercomplete the others.
*Without a [[stone chisel]] you cannot make bricks or improves forges or ovens. Again, its easiest to make one by making several attempts.
*To smith well you will also need a [[whetstone]]. Your Stone Chisel will help you make one.
*For most carpentry and smithing skills you will need a [[pelt]] to refine and polish what you make. These are acquired by [[Butchering]] various types of animal, rats and dogs being ideal for inexperienced fighters.
*For more advanced carpentry, normally essential if you want a [[bed]] and other nice perks, you should have a [[file]]. Again make several attempts until you get lucky and make one that is complete on the first attempt.
*Now improve all your tools. Bad tools make your life harder.
In Wurm, you are not measured by anything simple like a character level. A good character is a good smith or carpenter or tailoror etc. Someone who can make quality goods for their friends, neighbours and villagersis more liely to be welcome in a village and can make ingame money with their handiwork.
Trying to give you the best skill outline I can, develop each of these skills to in '''roughly''' this order to get a good an easier start in Wurm ...
* 20 Digging - an invaluable skill that is incredibly effective at 20 and only gets better
* 20 Carpentry / 15 Wood Cutting - these are interdependent but Wood Cutting can be hard to raise, so raise the carpentry to 20 and move on and let wood cutting rise naturally or as you have time to spend on it later
* 20 Mining - raising your mining is vital to both [[smithing]] and [[masonry]] and you usually get plenty of excuse to increase it
* 20 Smithing - invaluable skill but get your mining higher before yuo you dedicate yourself to itraising this one* 20 Masonry - may seem not so important but a ql 20 forge is so much better than a campfire - this skill can really work wonders - at higher levels its awesome. Raise it by making walls and improving your [[Forge]], [[Oven]] and [[Coffin]]s* 20 Fine Carpentry - not a great skill in many ways but spamming and imping barrels means you can make good ql [[practice doll]]'s - (these are good for [[fighting skill]]) and you will have a much easier job of making a [[bed]]* 8 Fighting - it helps you survive but this skill is very hard to raise - just use a QL 1 shaft on practice doll at the start* Animal Taming - its fun and eventually the animals you gain as pets are can be awesome - but this is not a priority skill
