I just got the armor set. I lost a bit of defense but haven’t tried it out yet
Try following that leveling guide and the quest map. I think you’ll be ok if you reach 4k hp by the time you are in dg (maybe 20 CON will be enough considering swordsman class). Dg will help you lvl faster as well.
Also, read the swordsman section for more detailed guidance on your class and stats.
This game is not for you for sure.

Ok, I’m not reading all 40 comments, so this may have been said already but uh…
If you’re hitting maps lower level than yourself, make sure you’ve done all the Klaipeda and Orsha maps. Also make sure that you’re completing all map exploration to 100% and speaking to Wings of Vibora NPC in town to get EXP cards from her, and silver from her by using the first option at her.
