Prioritize upgrading your tools, especially your Pickaxe and Axe, to gather resources more efficiently. Always carry a few food items for stamina recovery. Talk to every NPC you meet; building relationships unlocks perks and quests. Don't neglect your commissions from the Commerce Guild; they are your primary source of income early on. Explore the surrounding areas but be mindful of your stamina and health. Save frequently, especially before venturing into dangerous areas or making significant decisions.
