My advice would be to go on expeditions. Just explore the map and collect resources. Get used to the controls, how to use different slinger ammo and traps. But especially to learn the map. Start figuring out a decent loadout for hunts and start crafting those things.

Such a gorgeous game.

For what it's worth, I did dual blades and solo'd for as long as I was interested in playing, which was about 100 hours and into the early high rank. I'm a beginner at best, but I got plenty of fun out of it.

But it is definitely more fun with friends. For 15 bucks, maybe grab a second copy for someone.
