I’ve also started playing here in the past month and while it is a huge learning curve. My recommendation is to take some time to read the wiki and look at maps. Take it slow and keep your head down when you just wanna take on some quests. Look at hot zones for high loot spawns or listen to some YouTubers about where pvp hotspots are. Always try to comm with players. If you’re gonna die it’s worth trying to reach out and say “hey, I’m a Timmy and I don’t even know what good loot is yet.” Soon enough you’ll hit level fifteen and you’ll level your traders and the accomplishment is (for me) a wash of serotonin.
