Help with getting gear

[Achilles]

Hey guys, so not quite sure if this is just part of the game that its taking a while, or if I have missed something, I about level 10 and I am still wearing the rising fighter set from the blacksmith, he hasn't offered any new gear recipes since basically the start of the game, just wondering I missed a quest or something that get more armour recipes

things unlock when finding new materials, picking them up (or crafting) for the first time. And doing quests.

what you talking about, i soloed shrouded wispwyvern with that beginner set ,
just remember to eat food can give you 80% hp buff in early game, but after all you just shouldn't get hit, because even if you are wearing maxed level gear, monster can still easily kill you with 2 hit...

Just find a chest you can easily access and farm the hell out of it, content respawns for some reason.

I would suggest saving your time chest farming once you hit 25 and start farming the lvl 25-30 areas.

You have to do the second tower up north before he gives the quests that enable you to craft more from him.

Thank you very much :)

It's the progression. More options unlock as you go. Fetch an item for the blacksmith and build him a bench or whatever and the other 4 can have quests unlock on them. Lots of them unlock quests on each other.
If there is anything in the crafting list on a bench or the craftsman with an exclamation mark then make sure you craft that as it might unlock other recipes which in turn triggers quests.
Read all the lore books (red glow) in the wilds you can and some of those can point you to things.

I wouldn't be overly worried about armour. If you stop to farm mats for a full set you will probably be ready for the next set before you manage it. I found most armour stats to be pretty undewhelming and I think I went from the lvl 13 gear to the level 23 gear in one step. It just doesn't do much and the improvements each tier are very small. Just try not to get hit, use food and the rest buff and hope for drops. Always try to keep your weapons top notch but armour just isn't that big a thing. It helps for sure but not as much as I feel it should.
