For general tips, I'd say start with the achievements (Under Den dropdown), the first page has Starter Achievements that take you through some of the basic site functions, and it gives you curency and apparel to start with. Exploring in the campaign (under Play dropdown) is helpful for getting items, leveling up wolves, and you can even get new wolves from it on occassion! You can explore in all the pack territories, not just the one you're in, too.
It does burn stamina though, and it can be tough to keep your wolves at full stamina in the early levels. I run a free food thread, so feel free to comment or message me if you run into stamina troubles! :)
Hey, welcome to Loria! Definitely just focus on beginning your campaign, leveling wolves, and beginning your profession grind. You'll gain XP pretty quickly early on, so it's not that slow to get up and going. I think one month in I had more than enough food to sustain myself and was well-versed enough in the game that I have been set up comfortably ever since.
If you're looking for wolves, some users have some threads where they're giving them away in the forums, and I have this Pride Raffle you can enter if you want a chance at winning one of the two remaining wolves!
