How can I make more Gold?

You can try doing mining or fishing if you need lots of Gold. You may find Shining Fish while fishing or gemstones while mining, and they sell for a lot of Gold!

I'm having trouble with combat!

You may need to switch up your strategy and skills. Defensive and support skills are very useful and are almost required on higher difficulties. Take advantage of consumable items as well!

Where do I find wood (Oak/Maple/Bamboo) for upgrades?

You can only buy them from smithing shops.

What can I do with pelts (and other drops obtained from creatures)?

They can only be sold to general stores, the monster loot trader in Canowi, or NPCs.
