Eh... I'd advise a newer player to focus on the iron/lead tier first. It's not impossible to go straight from wood to shadow/crimson armor, but that's a large leap for someone fresh to the game.

Also, to the original poster, you should know that terraria has kind of a dual system built into it's world gen. Every world will have copper or tin, iron or lead, silver or tungsten, and gold or platinum. A lot more of the game's ore tiers also does this, and so does the "evil" your world spawns with (corruption or crimson). It makes it harder to make more worlds just to farm for resources, but at the same time it also gives separate playthroughs more variety.

Oh, and whenever you do pull up the metal to make an armor piece, make the greaves first if you're replacing your wood armor. The wooden greaves don't have a base stat, and only gets that extra 1 defense if you're wearing the full set. Once you put on another piece of armor, you lose the set bonus which could case you to not gain any defense in the process.
