Starting out solo in Enshrouded can be tough for some players, especially those who want to use ranged weapons, or create a build something like a Battlemage. This is because so much of the early-game combat is at melee range. However, things do get easier quite quickly, once the player has looted or crafted some basic gear. Materials for crafting and also weapons can be looted from low-level POI close to the starting area.
