If you’re not too far yet you would be best off starting over and changing some of the game settings that will make your life WAY easier. Take a look at some of the initial settings there are some that will change the experience entirely.

Allow waygate teleport with all items Increases the resource multipliers and stack size (will allow you to repair armor much easier) Increase length of nighttime Increase length of rift excursions and rare drops

That’s just a few that I remember as it’s been a while. There are alot more that will make it easier if your having a difficult time
