I have not found Turnip. Carrots I have been farming. I have upgraded bronze gear. I dont have an issue killing the enemies 2-3 at at a time but eventually I end up with 6 drauger with ranged support and there is nothing you can do. my boats kept getting destroyed by leeches picking away at them. I have built a few bases in forests on the edge of swamps but now i think it is a waste of time because after exploring the swamp I found there was no crypt. so obviously i'd have to reason to ever go back unless to punish myself. i do feel better after talking about it. i was pissed after that puddle.
