It's Massively Multiplayer Wurm Online Fantasy Simulator is many things, but first and foremost it is a survival MMO. In Wurm you must struggle to survive, at least in the beginning. You must find your own food, your own water (MMOFSwith the exception of the first 24 hours of game play thanks to the [[bartender]]), and your own shelter. Joining a settlement is one great way to find all of these things at your fingertips. Once you have mastered the basics of survival you can go on to build great structures, master a trade, and combat the enemies of your kingdom!

=Death and Dying==Next Steps===When you die you will loose 0You may want activate your pickaxe and seek out an [[iron vein]] inside a [[mine]] for some [[iron ore]], or '''right-click''' on a stone tile and select '''rummage''' to get [[iron rock]]s.25 skillYou can smelt these down into [[iron lumps]] in a furnace, such as a [[forge]] or campfire. With the exception of the newbie items iron, you get when you first can begin to make a [[lantern]] and start, to upgrade and replace your items will be on your corpse. You'll need starting tools as well as make [[large nails]] to find it to get them backuse for a house.
There are in-game maps in Wurm Online ({{key|m}}), however, you will still have to rely on your [[compass]], navigational skills, and wits. To open up the in-game map click the 'map button' on your quickbar (the icon resembles a globe). Luckily, there are player made [[maps]] that will help you get a general idea of where you are. When you enter or leave a [[Settlement|settlement]] you will get a message in the [[Interface and controls#Event window|event window]] telling you the name of the settlement ("You leave Blossom"). [[Examine|Examining]] the ground tiles in and around a settlement can tell you information like "This is within the village of Blossom" or "This is within the [[Settlement#Perimeter|perimeter]] of Blossom". The [[settlement token]] of a [[Settlement|settlement (deed)]] has a compass on top. Asking for directions in local chat might help you on your way as well.
===Movement===
'''Why am I moving so slowly?'''
There are many factors that can reduce your speed:
* Rough terrain ([[Moss]], [[Clay]], [[Sand]], [[Peat]], [[Tar]])
* Carrying heavy loads
* Wearing armour
* Having low stamina
* The "Hurting" status
Also, make sure the "[[Climbing]]" toggle is switched off.
'''Why can't I get out or move at all?'''
If you get stuck in a large pit or cave, first try the [[Climbing]] toggle or <code>/stuck</code> command. If you definitely cannot get out, or if you find a bug or glitch etc, then type <code>/support</code> to contact any of the GM's if they are online. Please use this feature sparingly.
'''Why won't my [[Body stamina|stamina]] regenerate?'''
This may be caused by lag, having "Hungry" and/or "Thirsty" in the [[Interface and controls#Statusbar|status bar]], swimming, or your [[Climbing]] toggle is activated. If you are being attacked, your stamina bar also will not regenerate and you may not be able to move away fast enough to get away in order to regain stamina which leaves you in a very dangerous situation.
'''I think I've chosen a wrong server! Can I travel to another one?'''
It is possible to sail across some server borders, depending on which cluster it belongs to. Read [[Server types#Server travel map|here]] for more information. It is however not easy for a starter account to get a boat (unless you buy one from another player), so choose the server you want to play on wisely. If you are joining friends already playing: check and double check with them which server they are on.
===Creatures===
''Friend or foe?''
Creatures are abundant in Wurm Online; from [[sheep]] to [[dragons]], [[crocodile]]s to [[rooster]]s. You can normally tell if you're about to be eaten by one by looking at their hover outline - red for aggressive and blue for passive. Some creatures may even be [[mount|ridden]] or [[tame]]d as [[pet]]s, some may be slaughtered for their [[hide]] and [[meat]]. As a new player you probably want to start small though, no picking fights with [[troll]]s or [[bear]]s. Stick with smaller passive animals like [[hen]]s or [[dog]]s until you feel confident and obtain some reasonable [[armour]]. Local guards may be called to help your battle by shouting '''guards!''' in the local chat window - just make sure you're in range!
:'''Read More''': [[Creatures]] | [[Cooking]] | [[Taming]] | [[Fighting]] | [[Mounts]] | [[Guard Tower]]
==Death==
[[Death]] is inevitable in Wurm. Most players find that the game is much more fun if you get out and explore, hunt, and fight. While there are ways to help reduce the chances that you’ll die during your adventures, it is also important to know what to do when Death comes knocking. You’ll find the game less frustrating if you understand what happens when you die, how and where you respawn, and how to find your [[Death#Your_corpse|corpse]] full of loot.
When you die, there is a good chance you will want to find your corpse to retrieve any valuables you had in your inventory. One option is to look at your event tab or logs to see the last settlement you passed through. If you still can’t find the corpse but you do have enough [[karma]], you can use [[Karma|Summon corpse]]. When you don’t have the karma needed, another option is to find a friendly priest who can cast [[Locate soul]] for you.
Death will also have a [[Death#Death_penalty|negative impact]] on your skills depending on the circumstances, often losing random points from 5 skills.
You cannot die from thirst or [[starvation|hunger]], however your stamina will be affected, meaning you cannot perform some [[Body stamina|stamina]]-draining actions like [[mining]] or [[climbing]], and your stamina will regenerate very slowly. If you have enough [[fat]] reserves and your food bar drops to 6-8%, you will [[Starvation|fast]]. A message in the [[event window]] will say {{event|inline|Your hunger goes away as you fast}} and your hunger bar will be filled again, but at lower [[nutrition]]. Water is not replenished when you fast, so be sure to always have a source or [[container]] of it nearby.
:'''Read More''': [[Death]] | [[Suicide]] | [[Locate soul]] | [[Karma]] | [[Spawning]] | [[Food]] | [[Death#Your_corpse|Corpse]]
==Item creation==
''Craft and use thousands of unique items.''
The [[item]]s found in Wurm are all [[crafting|player created]], with the exception of [[:Category:Gifts|gifts]], [[nodrop|non-drop]] items bought from [[trader]]s and [[mission]] specific objects.
To get crafting your very own items you will need to get your hands on some basic or [[crude]] items, [[raw materials]] and quite often a [[fire|heat source]]. Many of these items may be created or extracted with your [[Beginners_Tools|starting items]] or [[trade|bought]] from other players or [[merchant]]s.
Creating an item nearly always starts with [[activate|activating]] one item and '''right-clicking''' another. The intuitive [[crafting window]] can take away much of the context menu requirements, and also provides a recipe list for all player-craftable items. Each player made tool has a skill, or crafting category, such as [[blacksmithing]] or [[carpentry]].
* [[Pelt]]s are a byproduct of [[butchering items]] from creatures such as [[large rat]]s and [[wild cat]]s.
* [[Large anvil]]s can be crafted once you create a [[small anvil]], and may be used when dropped on the [[Tile|ground]]. To add to the crafting window, use the right-click context menu.
* [[Mallet]]s and [[hammer]]s are great tools to begin making when you first arrive in Wurm. They are cross functional to an extent, but at some point having both is required.
The percentages listed on the create menus is the chance that you will succeed, taking into account tool and material quality, and your skill. However, unlucky streaks can and will happen. Failing ten times in a row with 95% success rate is very bad luck, not a bug. Any items in red cannot be crafted with your current skill level.
The 25 [[Quality level|quality]] [[long sword]] you get at the beginning is barely good enough for killing [[Large rat|rat]]s, so you may want to consider creating yourself a new weapon that may be [[improve]]d, or even go for a new [[shield]]. Bows allow you to deal ranged damage without receiving any yourself, [[long bow]]s have such a range that most creatures are unable to see '''or''' attack you.

==Money==
''There are people who have money and people who are rich.''
The Wurm [[Bank of Wurm|currency]] is split into coins of different types of metal, in different [[Bank_of_Wurm#Denominations|denominations]]; iron, copper, silver and gold. You may find money by slaying [[creatures]], [[Bury|burying corpses]], [[foraging]] or [[botanizing]], or you can purchase it as silver from the [http://shop.wurmonline.com/WurmWeb/index.jsp/ Wurm Shop]. The amount of money that can be found randomly in game depends on the amount of money available in the [[kingdom]]'s coffers.
Another way of making money in Wurm is through trade with other players. You can use the [[chat]] in-game or the [http://forum.wurmonline.com/ forums] to offer goods and services to other players, who ultimately reward you with money.
