Hello and welcome to the game! I hope you enjoy your stay.
I think the first thing I'll tell you about is this isn't a fast game, so take your time and enjoy it. If you can find a good fellowship that fits your play-style they'll help you out a lot since you'll be able to trade with them, get to visit and be visited (more coins and supplies) and chat and ask questions as you have them. I don't know which world you're on, but if you are in Arendyll feel free to look me up and check out my fellowship.
Have fun out there!
