There’s probably tons of ways to get started in this game - all I can say is - this one worked for me: it is a wizardbuild, low egonomy/easy to get started/good explanations in the guide - and best of all - the OP, Griffin, is a tome of knowledge when it comes to this game, and very helpfull. So - if you read the guide and try to understand the stuff written and combine this with the answers you will hopefully get to whatever questions might appear, it will eventually get you started as far as understanding this game:)
Good luck, and welcome to the game!
