Talk:How to Play/@comment-31.52.16.177-20150503191435

hi everyone! I'm just wondering if i'm doing something wrong hereS:

I've been playing this game for about 3 days now and i'm level 21. I only have two swords above uchigatana level and they are both tachis(I smithed one and the other was a drop). Am I just super unlucky or am I doing something wrong?? In my first 1 or 2 days I spend a majority of my resources on smithing but then I got to map 4 and now I use it all for repairs and armour, I barely have enough steel at all. Smithing was useless since I used a lot of different recipies (some very high amounts) and got pretty much all 1:30:00s and all my drops are useless. I went back to map 3 and tried a lot of times on there to get a good drop but nopeee.

It's kinda depressing since if I go into PVP it's really hard to beat people, even when they're lower levels. This is because they have many tachi or above levels, and I mainly have uchigatanas. I have no idea where they're getting these awesome swords though!/: I have no chance of beating them despite pretty much all my swords being 25+ levels and good stats because i get beat in one hit!:L

is this normal?? any advice as to how to get rare swords? smithing is kinda poopy for me right now since I have the worst luck and no resources.
