Starting Area (The Town of Idal.ios):
Looting Etiquette: Be careful stealing. If a container is red (private), stealing adds to your Greed and can cause guards to attack. In v1.26.2, stealing mechanics are slightly more forgiving regarding detection, but the Greed penalty remains. Debuffs are Mandatory: In early levels, enemies hit hard
The First Dungeon: When you enter the first major dungeon (often ruins or caves near the starting town), use the "Scouting" mode (Stealth) to reveal fog of war slowly. Rushing in will result in a party wipe.

Paladin of Light (Tank/Support)
