@ronguest one thing I will recommend is to get the Charm of Inari , you can get it early in the game in one of the shrines, I would “google” it’s location, it’s a travel but worth it. Basically every time you collect supplies or woods and such, you get an extra amount. What out for linen, whenever you invade a camp or farmstead, loot the thing dry lol, linen is essential for armor upgrades.
