* Right-click until your mouse icon is a sword. Then, click on a [[creature]] to [[Combat|fight]] it.
* The first and only creature you should attack is the [[Brown Rabbit|rabbit]]. You may be able to fight [[rat]]s or [[beaver]]s, but to avoid losing a lot of health, stick to rabbits.
* No creatures on the isle will attack you unless you attack them first. This is not true in most of the lands beyond.
* Having trouble opening a creature's bag? Is it under the snow, underwater, or under the creature's body? - Easy solution: Drop something. The bag's window will open automatically. As of the 1.8 update, there is a button called "Get&nbsp;All". Open your inventory window, and click the "Get&nbsp;All" button.
* A nearly empty inventory is useful before harvesting or fighting for an extended time. See the ''[[#Storage|Storage]]'' section below.
* Once you get a few levels of attack and defense, you can fight rats and beavers. Although there are [[brownie]]s and [[Wood Sprite|wood sprites]] on the isle, be careful not to click them accidentally because you will surely die.
* The rat cave in the southwest of the island is a good place to fight rats in a closed space.
* Wear [[armour]], but use a weak weapon such as a bone or no weapon at all. The longer your fights are, the more experience you will receive for each fight.
* The [[Tutorial NPC]] will give you a '''free''' set of leather armour and an iron sword after you complete some of his quests. The items are put into your storage, not your inventory.
