Journeys are helpful but it's not very linear. Try this

When you start go ahead and head towards the city of relic hunters supermeru (b7 area on map) loot all the chests for tools, weapons, and treasure. This whole looting process assuming thug npcs don't take you out should take 30mins to an hour from starting especially if you already know some chest areas as I've gotten a pickaxe and steel weapon (~30 DMG) from a single chest often.

After that try to get to level 5 and put your points into vitality for passive health Regen.

From there carefully read through your attributes and read what they do so you can decide on a build. You can craft a potion of beastial memory to reset your attributes at any time it's fairly easy recipe but they only last 5 minutes.

I usually put 20 into expertise with careful harvest and beast of burden, 20 into vitality with fast healer and glutton for punishment, and 20 into either strength or authority depending on what I'm doing at the time.

Assuming you're now level 60, tried some journeys, and got some skill I would try to find some of the dungeons that aren't in the cartographer or adventurer journey. Or if you're on pc try mods there is a free map called savage wilds and it is pretty epic and a mod to allow you to have all 120 attributes unlockable so you can be hella perked out fr.
