There's the "?" help menu, in case you need it.
There's also a fairly active
forum.
Then there's a fairly extensive
Wiki as well.
As with all .wikia sites, I'd recommend either registering/logging in or using an adblocker.
Feeling lost in a sandbox game is natural, as there IS no real path aside from one you make yourself.
In the meantime, do what Hitty said and grind some quests for $$$ and platinum. Avoid hunting quests, party time quests, or quests that take you to Noyel, and avoid fighting UNLESS you chose a non-magic class MEANT for fighting; locate a non-cursed ranged weapon/ammo and start building that up otherwise.
Collect food in the wilderness (Press enter on a wilderness tile); healthy leaves and edible plants are edible and other junk items such as "junk stone" and "skeletons" occasionally appear in I Want This/Birthday quests.
Hold on to your starting level-up skill points; use platinum to train your skills and use your bonus skill points to train them once it's too expensive to use platinum.
If you didn't take the "prevent cursed whispering" feat at the beginning, remember to remove all of your equipment before falling asleep.
Don't bother identifying equipment that you're going to sell, as it's far too expensive to do so at your level.
