Start with the loop the game confirms
The official Roblox description frames progression around defeating monsters, collecting crystalized ore, and bringing that material to ancient forges. For a new player, the safest route is to learn that loop before trying to optimize every decision.
Do not rush deep dungeons blind
Dungeons are described as lost lands with greater rewards. Treat first runs as scouting attempts. Learn enemy timing, then return with a better weapon or a more durable build direction.
Use upgrades as checkpoints
Every new weapon can change how you fight. After a forge run, test the new weapon against familiar enemies before pushing harder content.
