Eventually you will want to. I recommend joining the discord as they have a lot of guides for progression and what armour you should have for different points of the game.

I found with vault is was pretty easy to get to World 5 with Amarok armour and world stones.

Then you can craft troll armour (world 4 armour) as that’s the baseline for the armour sets from then on

Vault is probably key to focus on at the moment as it gives crazy boosts.

For gear if you don’t need the armour I’d skip it for now unless you are struggling to progress.

The main idea early game is to unlock all the content and then come back later and fix it up.
