The Sum is a Survival RPG, meaning an important part of the game is to survive!

== Introduction ==

You get experience ([[Autonomy Points|Autonomy Points]]) for just surviving (as time pass) and additional [[Points|Points]] for [[Quests|quests]] or for winning a fight.

It is essential to focus on gathering food as if you do not eat, you will eventually starve to death.

=== So putting points in following [[Skills|skills]] help ===

'''[[Savenge (skill)|Scavenge:]]''' experience in searching and fishing. Modifies fishing speed and chance to find hidden objects (spear or fishing-rod needed as fishing tool).

'''[[Traps (skill)|Traps:]]''' The detection and removal of traps or building weaknesses. Hunting in the woods with traps (need Trapskill 50 or higher) or use of explosives for demolition purposes.

'''[[Survival (skill)|Survival:]]''' Experience in preparing a shelter to recover from injuries and toxins. Chance to start a fire without lighter. (You need as Sleeping bag or Pelt to go to sleep)

=== At the begin of the game, it can be very useful to find the following tools ===

'''[[Knife (item)|Knife:]]''' not so for fighting but needed to skin and part hunt animals (most [[Random encounters (locations)|random encounter locations]] at a beach have [[Shell knife (item)|shells]], that can be used as knife, in some random encounters you can find a [[Wood splinter (item)|wood splinter]] that can be used as knife. Steel Knives can be rare for most characters at the beginning.

'''[[Fishing-Rod (item)|Fishing-Rod / Spear:]]''' having that equipt, standing near a stream or lake enables you to fish automatically. Cought fish goes into you [[Cooler (item)|cooler]].

'''[[Lighter (item)|Lighter:]]''' You need a lighter or a high [[Survival (skill)|Survival skill]] to start a [[Fire (camp)|camp fire]] (and [[Wood (item)|wood]] or any [[Paper (item)|paper]] as fuel).

'''[[Sleeping Bag (item)|Sleeping Bag / Pelt:]]''' need it to go to sleep (healing mode). Pelts can be savaged by skinning big animals (wolves/deers/cows)

== What to do first ==

* Stay out of fights at the very begin of game!
* Find a food resource!
* Some random-encounter maps have food on it (mushrooms/roots): If you find such random encounter map, keep in mind the position of the Square you found it, and visit it by clicking on that square (if your food suplies are running low).
* If you have fishing equiptment, look out for river or lake squares, as most have random encounter maps with water, where you can fish. (Do not go or cross in open water squares, or save game before doing so)
* Random encounters are fixed to the sqare as well: if you encounter a deer, it is quite likely you will encounter another if traveling around on that map square (same with bandits or any other random encounter).
* Beware some random maps can be quite deadly and such squares should be not crossed, or you will end up dead if you trigger a random encounter. (later in game with surtain tools that can be ignored)
* If you find a good food square it is good to travel around that square, or just trigger random map by clicking on your position. On map, collect food/fish / skin (dubble click on animal carcas in inventory) /make fire / cook (cooked food is better than cold-dish, some dishes need (two items and) to be cooked to be eaten. Cook Water before drinking! Max 5 water per campfire/map all other cooking items seems limitless)., exit random encounter (do not forget to save game), and redo, untill you have the food stash you need for a longer travel.
* Mind that while doing so you will gain Experiance points.
* After you are well prepered you can focus on traveling!
* In the time you did your preperations, you should have leveled some levels, use the trait points wisely (wait with leveling weapon traits before you have found a weapon you can use (or focus on unarmed)).

== Tools/Equiptment ==

* '''[[Clothes (item)|Clothes:]]''' wearing clothes saves you from freezing to death.

* '''[[Wood (item)|Wood / paper:]]''' fuel your camp-fire.

* '''[[Rope (item)|Rope:]]''' can be used to climb down (and out again) specific areas (holes & shafts offering a solid grip).
