Sorry to hear of your troubles and yes starting out can be very difficult. Otm the development team have added some crafting such as cooking and fishing that are great for free to play players. My main is 224 and I have an alt of each class that I’m currently leveling. I have been free to play since the beginning (sorry otm). It takes patience but cooking and fishing will help a ton. For cooking you can go to the Taven and cook up many things that will restore health and energy for free. Just follow the cooking quest line and don’t worry about buying recipes, the quest line will give you plenty for free. As for farming gold fishing can do wonders for that as well, but it will take some time.
So please don’t loose faith and try to do some crafting before your next journey out to quest and level. I think you will enjoy the rewards.
Hope this helps
