Try and see how it goes. If it gets bad run away. Try to have a full set of gear first?

Levels don’t affect power/how high you hit. So as other commenter said, maybe make some basic gear and give one of the two in the starting area a try.

Also I found Magic much easier and powerful when I was starting out but now almost exclusively play melee. Regardless it’s good to wear a magic helmet as the set effect of your first worn magic piece gives you 50% stamina reduction when attacking.

If you die your gravestone is outside the entrance :)

The ones in the early areas are Tier 2. You really just need a tier 2 weapon to properly take down the vault guardians and one is given to you pretty early on that you can make with Ashwood.

Tier 2 gear is enough, but if you can work towards Tier 3 and get a Tier 3 shield for Tempest shield, it will make things extremely easy. Use air magic attacks, often activate tempest shield. Have the highest healing food you can ,make to avoid eating too much. Attack with a combo pattern so that you don't run out of stamina in order to activate a block when an enemy attacks. Wear melee armor body and legs, then magic hat. This provides melee defense from their close range attacks and some magic defense from their long range attacks. Again, Tempest Shield will be your best help to prevent big damage.

Just try,  game is forgiving even on hard, the enemies in the dungeons are hard hitting and the best damage type against them is blunt, except for that, nothing to lose

You just need some gear, food, and some other buffs you might have at that level.

Just because you might not be able to defeat the boss, doesn't mean you won't get good stuff from the dungeon.

When you die, the grave appears outside of it.

In the starter map there are only two dungeons?

You can do the starting area dungeons basically at the start, range weapons recommended as if you get 2-3 monsters attacking you at once you’ll have a horrible time trying to parry/dodge them all

The “dungeons” are a joke in this game
