✓ Do — Follow the chapters in order. Each one unlocks the vendor/area you need for the next.
✓ Do — Save Charon's Obol. You'll need 15+ for the Rapier of Devastation (endgame).
✗ Don't — Don't skip Chapter 3. The Witch Doctor's services (Cursed Bay vendor + Ancient Guardian crafting) are essential.
✗ Don't — Don't try Chapter 6 before Level 40. Blackbeard one-shots lower-level players.
