Pretty much it ! Just read the guides, get a understanding of the character and see what kind of items you need. Spend as much or as little as you want, and last but not least climb !! 1-71 is probably the easiest mf you can do, if you can of course; try and well white items as you go. And also remember to mute, other than that its basically climbing to 71 [or higher] and doing it again. You don't need to invest a ton to have gear to climb by yourself, maybe a few hundred fg. But in the end if you keep climbing at it - you will gain more than you put it. But patience goes along way also
