I had the same problem as you.

I'd recommend unlocking the Memory of Edo (the second one) expeditions ASAP, which you can set your swords to do overnight. B2 (3 hours) and B4 (2.5 hours) will give steel. The higher expeditions give resources, so leave them to gather resources overnight.

While playing, continuously send out the short expeditions in the first section (the 10 minutes to one hour ones).

Also, try to finish as many daily quests as possible. They reset at 1pm (Pacific Time), I believe.

Good luck!
