Gameplay tips:

The first 10 quests of the main story serve as a tutorial for the game's mechanics and world.

The majority of your combat power comes from skills, so leveling up is the best way to make the game easier.

Attributes are also very important, but if you die, they scale to your main soul level, so focus on earning experience.

Gear comes third—it amplifies your offense and defense, but it's more important to find rings and weapons that complement your preferred mastery build.
