It’s not so bad with how little time it takes to get back early on

Right-clicking is used to activate your current "active" skill, such as beheading. If it's a recursive skill, like the lightning strike, you need only click once and it will repeat, just like a physical attack Airrivals Gold, until the enemy dies or you run out of energy.

Don't fear getting killed. Run if you can, but if you get killed it really isn't that much of a deal for a fresh character. Sure you lose a bit of experience, but it's not so bad with how little time it takes to get back early on.

Once you get a few small potions, assign them to a hotkey. This will make healing in a panic a lot easier, and taking on some of the stronger enemies more possible.

You can't drop items until you reach level 11. I don't know why, but you just can't, so stop trying.

All those yellow lines of text you see are private shops. These might have their use, but mostly I just find them annoying as they make it very hard to find quest-related NPCs.

Your character can't negotiate corners on their own, so you'll have to show them the way. This means no clicking behind a building and expecting to wind up anywhere but running against said building.
