Some newbie Questions for starting

[nellieoakley]

Sooo I started an Adventurer in this game.

I found my way to Serbule and took on most of the favor quests (I may have missed some) but somehow its quite hard for me. It seems to do some I need first favor with someone else and for that I need even more stuff etc...

I got fire magic (for killing deers as the npc recommend), sword and psychology for combat. But every brain bug/tiger/wild pig kill me if they find a friend and somehow there are good in this Do I need better loot (which is really random?) other skills, more level, more I do not know??

I do pick everything up I can find. Should I level cooking (any other crafting skill? Found carpentry and alchemy so far) first?

I do like to play a healer normally, I did read that mentalism is for that? (Hello Echur who needs more favor...) But that guide said something from mentalism and fae magic. Is that the only way? Because fae magic requires being a fairy which requires a not so easy group quest which requires a new character with drawbacks?

I am mainly confused by now, partly I get killed so often and just do not know if I do something wrong or if solo is really that hard?

Am i meant to go to other zones? I fould the gate to Eltibule but was to scared to go further Just marked it on my map. Because in other games I played to complete one zone before going to another as they increase in level/difficulty
