How do I - destroy inventory items?

You plant carrots rather than getting seeds from them. So grow them to Stage 4 (http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Carrots) then pluck them and replant them/eat them. Finding them via WWW's and foraging is the first means to getting seeds. If you have neighbors of any kind, you can ask them for seeds. Most people will be happy to set you up with a starting variety bag to get you on your feet. Failing that, get exploration to 6 and above and explore a lot to begin finding WWWs.

A couple other quick notes:

The type of seed found in WWWs seems to be tied mostly to area, so if you only grab them around your claim, you'll probably only find a limited number of seeds at first.

Don't just stop once you get your exploration to 6 - the higher your per*exp score, the more of the available weeds you'll find, up to a cap of (the wiki says) 4 times the base needed to find the stuff.

If you can't find carrots or get them through the kindness of neighbors (I still don't have any myself for instance, ugh), you can still get your perception up - blueberry pie, roasted deer, roasted plaice, and boiled eggs for instance all give perception, although they may also give other stats. Although pretty much all of these can be tricky for a player just starting out, unless you're lucky fishing on a full moon, or happen across a deer carcass that someone killed but didn't use all of it. Peapods also give almost straight perception if you eat them raw, but only a very little bit, so you'd have to eat a lot of them.

If you're going to be farming, you might want to go full nature, since that'll raise the number of seeds you get. Of course, that'll hurt industrial stuff like mining or gathering grey clay, but if you want you can always change it back later. Replant your highest-quality seeds/crops, and use the other low-quality ones for... whatever you want to use them for. Spare seeds that you don't want to plant can go toward planting grass, or feeding chickens/livestock. (That's for the crops that give seeds that aren't actually used - hops, peas, beetroot, carrots (I assume), peppercorn and onions for example don't give seeds, you just replant the items themselves. You can still come out ahead and use some for food though, since with full nature slider you'll get three items for each one you plant. And with wheat, it's the seeds themselves that you use for flour/grist.

Oh, and if you want to plant any grape seeds you find, you need the winemaking skill. I can't remember if you need the beermaking skill to plant hops.

Er, I guess this has drifted from some "quick notes," but hey, it should be helpful to someone I hope! But I'll shut up now. :p

Adding a question: wiki says fishes are now a limited and localized resource. Just want to know, once you drain that "fish jumping out of water" node it is gone (forever?) - but do new nodes appear or respawn? Or will we run out of fish eventually?

[TeckXKnight]

It doesn't mean you make it disappear, it just means you can't just dunk your rod in water anywhere and get fish. Now you're limited to the fish jumping out nodes. All nodes that become depleted regenerate over time, without exception.

Adding more questions.

Now that I've pretty much established a solid home I find myself in a lack of leather - now, how does one start his hunting journey?
I heard early on the slingshots are the best way to go... I really want to farm some foxes and boars because there's actually quite many close to my home. What would be skill requirements to hunt those down and how would I go on about it (I heard theres some "easy" ways to like trap them and then slingshot them to death).

Thanks

If you're near water, you can hunt easy mode. Hop in a boat with 20 MM a q10+ sling and a pocket full of rocks. Spot a boar, pelt it with rocks until it runs away, then hop out of your boat and switch your speed to Run and begin to punch it to death. Even with 1 UA you'll hit for maximum damage and ignore defense if an opponent is fleeing. You can trap foxes around the water too with unbuilt signposts (campfires are good since they only need 1 branch to be held there).
Without water it gets a bit more tricky but you can trap them in your palisade and pelt them from the outside. Or you can close the door on them while they're standing there and trap them in the door. With foxes, if you can muster up the damage to scare them off in 1 hit, you can trap them in a fence and hit them with an arrow. They'll attempt to flee and not break your signposts. Without water, it gets a bit tricky just so you know.

Luckily I have water near. You only need to/can trap foxes with singposts, not boars - why is that?
I have seens these "traps" before, so I just build one like those before I start the combat?

If the boar is further away from water, I just engage him with ranged then run to boat and avast so he can't get to me?

[TeckXKnight]

Boars are slower than you, Foxes are faster. If you don't trap a fox, you'll be chasing it forever.
You can "Punch" the Boar while in your boat and just move away from the shore once it's aggro'd to you.
Aggro, Run, Avast also works.

[Grable]

Ok if I got this right then to kill a boar it would go something like this:
- aggro it with a slingshot or just walking near
- run/kite it to water
- avast
- shoot it with the slingshot so the boar starts running away
- get off the boat, chase him down and punch him to death

And for fox:
- prebuild signpost trap leaving one square open for the fox to enter
- aggro fox
- lure it inside trap
- avast and sail away till it deaggros
- get back to trap, build that last signpost
- sling-stone it to death

Is this right?

[anasky]

That's how I'd do it ^^
Although I've never actually managed to hit a fox (due to MM being 10)
