Nice, so I (and a friend of mine) aren't the only noobs. We read about people completing the game in roughly 70 hours. We called ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Combined playtime of 300 hours and we couldn't even handle Bonemass (tho tbf, we spent ALOT of time building and grinding to be able to build, rather than upgrade gear).
Anyway, good luck out there. You're not alone (even though you apparently prefer that, so, sorry ;P)
