Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness/Pilgrimage quests

Improve health and purchase a frigate
At the start of the game, the Stranger is in the Lands of Lord British. The lord's castle is visible to the west, but actually it can be ignored for the moment. Go north, instead.

After a few steps, the town of Paws comes into sight. There, the Stranger can [T]ransact with the merchants and purchase an axe, a horse and some food rations. Remember to get the weapon [R]eady.

There is no distinction between actual HP and maximum HP. The only max HP is 9999. Enter a dungeon (one is just north-east from Paws), fight some monsters on the first floor only, then exit: your HP will be increased depending on how many monsters you defeated.

As soon as you collected enough money (about 500 coins), go back to Britain and buy a frigate.
