1. Not all animals make a good snack, some of them, wich seem harmless, are actually pretty fucking dangerous, take a horse for example
2. Its better to go on your own than to go with other guys, you end up getting killed. (Atleast when night creatures are off)
3. Keep your equipment on you, you never know when you need that scraper or to carve a spear from that skeletal elephant you just killed
4. Evil areas are equal to nuclear wastelands
5. Not everyone are friendly

Max 5 things per post.

"carve a spear from skeletal elephant"

... I must be missing something, cuz I've never seen or heard of an option to do that O_o :p

6: Its amazing how effective diving behind a tree or down a hill is at escaping a chasing enemy.

Is it because light travels faster than sound,
that people appear bright until you hear them speak?

Check out Genesis, it has adventure mode crafting, really awesome too, cool for when you want to make a warrior guy and decorate your weapons with the teeth of your opponents :D

8. If your companion picks a stupid fight, don't rush to the rescue thinking 2 vs 1 will improve the odds.  A camel will kick your head clean off.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

16. While holding ten swords might not work out all that well, holding ten shields will.
17. A high level Thrower near a puddle of water is the Adventure Mode equivalent of heavy artillery.
18. Giving dwarves the ability to make kitchen cutlery allows them to make steel slicing knives, which are so sharp that they can apparently cut between the atoms in a suit of armor.
19. Even without meaning to, you can empty an entire backpack at once by putting a handful of water (or some other liquid) in it and then dropping the water.
20. Oceans in cold climates are made out of ice-nine.

21: If you're unsure whether it will kill you or not, it probably will.
22: If you're sure it can't kill you, then it probably will just to spite you.

26. Caves are endless pits of no return
27. You can't kill something by drinking its blood repeatedly

28. don't go swimming right before sunset

30. companions and water don't mix well
31. always head to the nearest towns keep before adventure, noone minds if you take all that stuff
32. dwarven battle trance does not make you impervous to ranged weapons and/or dragonfire

35. Night Creatures don't breathe. Don't even try to strangle them.
36. Bowmen and Crossbowmen are worse than a dragon.
37. DON'T, DON'T, DON'T EVER TRY TO SLEEP ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS!!!!!!!

38: In fact, don't sleep in the wilderness at all. You will get fucked up by ambushers before you wake up properly.
