Hey, personal tip for starters, do not rush things.
Best scroll in my experience is knockdown or knockback.
Tome, personally, healing and any that Summon minions.
Weapon, Spear was a great go to early on, then Rifle, I'm a simple guy
Armor, I want all the smoke so Plate armor.
Potions and Antidotes. Maybe you will get lucky and find invisibility or rage Potions.
Focus on making friends and getting party members, but be patient, you will progress eventually.
Most rewards or loot are RNG, so relax, take what you can and just play for fun.
The game is still early on in story, I think.
