Keep exploring and put down a bedroll when you get to a new area.

Get a thrall and then keep getting better thralls. The cage at Spotter's Squat is guarded by a single Black Hand and Jailer. Twice recently I've gotten a T3 Dog of the Desert from there as my first thrall.

The skeletons around the Sinkhole sometimes drop heavy padding you can use to make heavy armor.

The Black Hand sometimes leave steel weapons laying around including steel war hammers that are great for rocknoses. Dogs of the Desert drop steel weapons and come with steel weapons as thralls. The Stygians around Al'Merayh drop hardened steel weapons you can't craft until level 50. Get a couple for you and your thrall and you can rule the desert and savanna and get ready for more advanced areas.
Another way to get heavy padding early is to assign a Tanner to your Armorer's Bench. It should unlock a recipe to stitch thick hide from hide.

They wander around now, but still count as working the station. They don't have to be standing at the bench in order to get their bonuses.

And I think it is the other way round. You need an armorer in a tanners table, not a tanner in an armorers bench. Though rhinos aren't hard to kill. You can find them outside Sepermeru or in the savanna (watch out for the tigers). Gorillas in the jungle aren't that hard either, and have predictable attack patterns.

single, dont like my save being taken from me
So since youre on single player you should switch living settlements off on the server settings menu, its currently bugged and for some reason is its on by default, switching it off will prevent your thralls from wandering off

Back when I was new I watched a Youtuber called Anabriella and learned much.
Now after all this time I think she would even learn stuff from me.

She is here if ya wanna look through the vids one day:

Here is the rough starter strat i have been using for success.

In beginning stay little while in in the starting river in the south do first few survival journey that does not require iron.
When you have gotten few levels, back everything and make couple extra bed rolls.
Run to skulkers end in the end of left side of river, there is large darfari camp there do not fight you get killed instead run to one of the wooden benches there is darfari bone sword that unlock darfari bone weapons which are better than stone weapons.

Get out of camp and craft bone axe and wooden shield (or stone daggers because of the bleed effect). Also craft a basic bow to shoot and lure enemies out one by one.

Now start running and i mean run like Forest Gump near river to north, stay near river because crocs are easier to dodge and run away that hyenas that roam areas around river.
Drop bed rolls in save places for updated spawn points if you happen to die.

Stop running when you see giant hand statue ( i think it is called hunters view in the map) and three rivers crossing one form south where you come, one from east and one from north.

Start building your starter/mid level base in general vicinity of iron that is near rivers and start building crafting stations like thrall wheel, tanner, smelters and armor and weapon bench and cooking.

Start collecting iron and smelter it to iron bars and make iron tools (pick and woodcutting axe and sickle).

When you are high level enough to get thrall wheel do it and start hunting sorcerer from enemy camps kill him and loot pack for iron bonk stick and leather bindings. (be very careful if sorcerer is level 3 with steel daggers they will kill you instantly if they hit you).

When you get you iron bonk stick from dead sorcerer go get T4 fighter thrall like N'Batu, Thugra, Sully or Tarman they all have 100% spawn chance. When one them is knocked out yank them back to your wheel and start braking their will. It takes 30 minutes to convert T4 fighter so do something productive in mean time and collect iron. Look wiki for map locations for those T4 fighter previously mentioned.

When you have your first T4 fighter it is time to level up him and start to hit black hand and dogs of desert camps and start collecting steel weapons from dead bodies and possible armor pieces like hyena armor set.

Also go savanna north and start collect heavy leather from Dumbos and Rhinos that roam there, avoid that giant Stygian castle in there.

When you want t4 crafter thralls hit sinner refuge cave and later sepermeru town.

Attribute level up order that has worked for me:
First 5 points to VIT to get passive health generation.
Then 5 points to GRIT to get +20/+50 stamina/armor perk so you can swing weapons and run/dodge more.
Then 5 point to EXPERTISE and perk that gives -33% slower tool braking and thirst/hunger.
Then 10 point to AUTHORITY to more bonk damage.
Then 5 point more VIT.
Then 10 points to AUTHORITY to max 20 for war party perk and second thrall.
Then 5 point to VIT to 15 for extra 100 hitpoints.
Then 10 for STR or AGI.
And last 5 points more to EXPERTISE.

Your level 60 attribute distribution should look like this 10 STR or AGI, 15 VIT, 20 AUTH, 5 GRIT and 10 EXPERTISE.

Hope this gets you started.

My biggest issue with the game when I played years ago was that I HATED building. I hated building and I hated the thrall system. I was completely uninterested in micromanaging and all I wanted to do was explore and get gear. I liked that I could do that. I joined a server that was mostly PvE but had PvP on a timer, so you could only PvP at a specific time each day. I really liked that I could play the way that I wanted by joining a server, gathering resources to help my group but letting them handle building/thrall management while I went adventuring.

I’ve been thinking’s of getting back into the game and buying isles for a while now, but the thought of trying to find another server I enjoy playing on and finding another group is kind of holding me back.
im already a lvl 40, with a lvl 3 fighter only issue is need a safe route to the rinos casue last time i tryed solo i got myself killed at some big base? near the place of group rhinos
and also i wouldnt mind if someone would like to join my single player/co-op game to help me better understand
