i have no clue how to work things this is my first time

You are off to a good start, I see you transferred your old item to your mule, you should also keep your 15 sword on there until you can use it, that way you don't accidentally shrine it or trash it.
Another tip: Pick up and save a few
junk items, then when you need HP, go to town and sacrifice them at the Shrine of Mu'rakar to regen yourself.
Also start looking for a charm with +STR or even +LIFE to help you out. Stat charms are useful for melee characters, whereas Enhanced Effect charms are more useful for casters.
