You are already miles ahead of me when I first started. I didn’t find the forum for quite a while so that’s a huge first step.
There is so much excellent information here on the forum. I can tell you from my own reading that you may want to be careful of following advice given on FB or Reddit. I’ve seen some outrageously wrong advice given there. This community forum can be trusted because it’s well moderated and other players will quickly step in when wrong advice is given.
Here is a ton of info for new players. Please don’t feel overwhelmed by it. Read it, play for a bit, read it some more and it will soon make sense. Ask lots of questions here - we were all new at some point and lots of us are still learning.
It’s a great game, with a wonderful community of helpful, friendly players.
