 The second big thing to mention here is that there are Alchemy recipes that will be essential if you want to fight in Kur instead of just run from campfire to campfire. The best one in my experience for survival was the Cold Resistance potion that only requires Green Glass, Bottle of Water, and a Nightmare Flesh that can be farmed mostly in the Goblin Keep in Eltibule. The other one worth mentioning is Orcish Thickskin Potion which works very well with gear (mentioned below), but this requires Muntok Peppercorns which are an extremely rare item. The second big thing to mention here is that there are Alchemy recipes that will be essential if you want to fight in Kur instead of just run from campfire to campfire.

-Meditation provides a few other solutions, one is a level 17 Meditation you can get farmed up to pretty easily with minimal resources. A decent amount of Salt, Parasol Mushrooms, Potatoes, and Crabs can be used to grind up to 17 where you can use a Mycena Mushroom to get 10% Cold Resistance. Combined with a good Meditation Stool, you could have this buff last for several hours.+Meditation provides a few other solutions, one is a level 15 Meditation you can get farmed up to pretty easily with minimal resources assuming you can find the scroll that teaches it. A decent amount of Salt, Parasol Mushrooms, Potatoes, and Crabs can be used to grind Meditation up to level 15 where you can use a Mint at a Meditation Pillar to add Indirect Cold Mitigation. At level 17 with a Mycena Mushroom you can get 10% Cold Resistance, which I'm not sure will help with the cold ticks, but should help against some of the Yetis and Ice Elementals here. Combined with a good Meditation Stool, you could have this buff last for several hours worth of gameplay.
  
 Another honorable mention is Fire Magic, which provides a very good Wall of Fire spell that will restore a good amount of Body Heat early on. In fact, Fire Magic is relatively easy to level up in Kur if you know what you are doing. Another honorable mention is Fire Magic, which provides a very good Wall of Fire spell that will restore a good amount of Body Heat early on.

 Later in the game, you'll find the "Rage to Heat" potions are affordable for you to use or farm in Gazluk. They keep your Body Heat from dropping while you are in combat, encouraging you to fight stuff along the way in both Kur and Gazluk. These are especially helpful during Gazluk farming runs. Later in the game, you'll find the "Rage to Heat" potions are affordable for you to use or farm in Gazluk.

 +If you are a Fire Mage or can use Fire Magic, you can survive very easily here. In fact, this can be a great place to farm for nearly 40-80 as you can pretty much stay outside without dying as long as you are in combat and using your spells that generate heat.
  
 Lastly, this section requires mention of the Winter Gear that can be created by Mid-to-High level Leatherworking. These items not only have increases to Max Body Heat, but also reduce Indirect Cold Damage, which is what you are taking when your Body Heat drops in Kur. These items require "Tuft of Fur" which can be farmed from many of the mobs inside Kur itself. Lastly, this section requires mention of the Winter Gear that can be created by Mid-to-High level Leatherworking.

-One trick that new players should know is that there is an Orc NPC named Ratuk the Thinker in this area that teaches Teleportation skills. He is difficult to get to safely without any sort of campfires, heat, or cold mitigation. By leveling up Teleportation skills a bit and gaining Favor with him, you can get the spell "Recall Last Recall". This requires only Salt and Aquamarines. Aquamarines are a unique gem that you can actually get by Bartering with Flia in Serbule a Tuft of Fur and a Beak (which you can buy from Way the Mushroom in the Mushroom Cave), making them very cheap and easy to obtain for players willing to do a bit of traveling. Tufts of Fur are already going to be pretty plentiful if you are killing Wolves, which you can do safely from Lamashu's campfire. Or just killing Bears near the beginning of the zone.+One trick that new players should know is that there is an Orc NPC named Ratuk the Thinker on the ice floes in Western Kur that teaches Teleportation skills.

 Once you have a stack or so of Aquamarines and a lot of Salt, you can bind to the Kur Outpost teleportation circle and cast Recall Circle followed by Recall Last Recall over and over to make it your "Hearth's Home" target. Each time you cast, you will gain experience in Teleportation. Once you hit level 20 you will get the spell Recall Beginnings, which lets you go the the exit point of the last teleport you used in a zone without consuming your Amethysts. It's primarily used to go back to the beginning of a dungeon, but there's another trick you can use with it to farm in the more hostile environments. Once you have a stack or so of Aquamarines and a lot of Salt, you can bind to the Kur Outpost teleportation circle and cast Recall Circle followed by Recall Last Recall over and over to make it your "Hearth's Home" target.
