¶ Introduction
Winning a battle and coming up on top is one thing, surviving your wounds afterwards is another.

Will finish the potion part once I test them
¶ Basic UI and Interactions
On the far left side of your in-game screen, you should see your charater doll, this is useful for interacting with your own character and others alike.
- You can examine your bodyparts or other character's condition by selecting the limbs on the doll, then examine your character or others via Shift+LMB
However, be mindful that there are no clothing or armor obstructing the limb when you are trying to examine.
Beside the character doll, you should see a heart icon not far from the doll, this is your health examination button.
This is extremely useful to examine your conditions without taking off your clothing to examine wounds or embedded objects.
- LMB on the heart icon to see your character's bodypart conditions
¶ Understanding Health and Blood
A character's maximum blood level is 1000, your blood can regenerate from drinking water or resting over time.
Now say you were ambushed by a lone volf, you managed to kill/run away, now you are suffering from heavy bleeding from the attack.
The bloodlevel pool will start to decrease by the amount of bloodloss rate every wound have.
Meaning you can get away with 3 clotted slash wound on your chest for a good amount of time.
But you won't go very far with a crit aortic bleeding with a bleedrate of 60 untended.
When a bodypart gets injured from damages from any source; (Blunt, Sharp, Fire, etc...)
Your character will sustain pain, and pain can affect certain actions like climbing, running and even stun you from time to time.
You can see your character doll has color changes to red on said damaged bodyparts, it is crucial to identify the type of wounds you have been afflicted of.
¶ Picking Your Tools
If you plan to get hurt or expected to get injured, stocking up on basic medical supplies are never a bad idea.
- Sewing Needle: This can be made from one thorn and one fiber in the wild. Holds five uses of threads, useful for sewing wounds that can't clot in time.
- Sewing Needle (Iron): This can be made by blacksmiths in town, for a fee of course. Holds 20 threads, can be refilled with fiber.
- Cloth: This can be made from either ripping your clothing via target arms/legs and MMB (with Bite, Jump, Kick, Steal intents off) on yourself to rip off a patch of your clothing, or craft via two fibers and sewing needle. Useful for applying on clotted wounds, or as a stop gap when you dont have needle to sew wounds.
- Water: Water is extremely essential, from extinguishing flames, to rehydrating those who plan to travel for long periods of time, or to quickly replenish blood from bloodloss either for you or others.
- Leech: Leech can be used to treat poison, those can be found via digging through dirt or walking through murky waters.
