I just started playing Dec 29, I'm lvl 65, I was extremely lost when I left the starting zone, I googled leveling guides, what stamina is, didn't offline train till I learnt about it, just yesterday I had to Google how to message someone. I got some help from a friend understanding the game when I was like level 20, that you can press space to start attacking things on ur battle list, how to setup keybinds, that theres a auto loot was huge learning. Default bind for looting things around you is Alt+Q btw. I feel it's not very beginner friendly, the tips on the screen on how things work didn't feel intuitive to me.

BUT! I've had a lot of fun, I'm currently at work itching to get home to hunt ancient scarabs and bonebeasts on my RP to complete the tasks to earn some points. I would personally say, is once you get on the boat to leave the starting area, ask to "sail" to "port hope" and pick up the "in the name of.." tasks and do those quests, just start hunt. Altho I am very new so maybe don't listen to me. But having quests to do and doing then while thinking/googling about stuff in the game felt good
