This should go in the Ask a Beginner topic.
Since that's what that thread is about. Beginners helping Beginners.
No need making a new Beginner tip/help topic just to copy and take space : /
Also. You don't have to sell Snail shells or Caps to get neither Fruit Knife or headband. "Bigg's collection of items" - Price; Fruit Knife. "Please Bring This Letter To Lucas" - Price; Red/Blue/Black/Yellow Headband or Brown/Green Skullcap.
Instead I suggest to keep collecting Orange Mushroom Caps and Mushroom Spores till you got at least 40 Mush Caps and 10 Spores. Then you can go right and finish the Scientist quest in Henesys to achieve some pots (25 red) and some exp (+300) as a start.
The chance of monsters dropping scrolls are low. And the suggestions you've inputted are only abused my Islanders (Permanent Maple Island Beginner).
Every thing you've written can be done in an easier way.
But honestly, I'm too lazy to correct them all right now.
