Your first reliable loop
Begin with nearby material nodes, brew common potions, test them on lower enemies, and upgrade only when the next route becomes slow.
Blueberries, mushrooms, eggs, and basic enemy drops help you learn how magic points affect brewing.
Wind Blade, Ice Spike, and similar early attacks help you fight without taking unnecessary hits.
Codes can provide rerolls, but save them until you understand which race helps your preferred route.
