Hi, I'm just starting to play the game and I need a little help, I'd like to go to the mine and get to the last level and gather resources, but I don't have good equipment, I'm already struggling at level 20, from those flying mosquitoes and I can't just run away or kill them, there are too many of them, and I search the internet and I can't find exactly what I want to know, what equipment, the sword should have to be able to dig normally and be in the mine.

Have you replaced the rusty sword with the one you found in the chest?

You can check the weapons Marlon sells at the adventurer's guild. Check frequently, he sells different weapons the further you go.

A good way to find better weapons is to destroy the chests and barrels that außer randomly on the mine floors.

Some fishing treasure chests also give you weapons, but it's a matter of luck/rng how long it would take.

You get a pretty decent weapon if you kill enough bugs. Go for the blue ones if the white ones are to dangerous for you.

Early on, when your gear isn't so great, especially on your first playthrough, the Mines can be difficult. Some practice, along with upgrading your equipment, will make a big difference in a short time.

If you want to upgrade your pickaxe you need (I think) 5 copper ingots and (maybe) 5,000gold this would only be the first upgrade.
You can check this at Clint's Blacksmith shop. You will need to leave you pickaxe with him for a few days though.
With enough mining you can make a cherry bomb which is very useful if you in a rush, but it has limitations.

Fishing and Farming are good moneymakers in early game. Fishing is great if you can get the hang of it but many people, including me, struggle with it at first. However it does have a good money payoff and you get that g the same day (Willy) or next day (Shipping Bin).

High quality vegetables like Cauliflower, Melon, and Pumpkin get you a lot of g and the most per tillable spot in early game, but you'll be waiting about 2 weeks for those to grow, and need to water them if you don't have Sprinklers yet.

Befriending Caroline to 2:heart: with Daffodils in early game can get you the Tea Sapling recipe pretty early and those sell for a lot of g for pretty easily obtained resources: Wild Seeds, Fiber, Wood.

When I switched from mobile to PC, I ran into an infested floor on floor 11. Green slimes and bugs killed me. I’d been playing on mobile for over a year. I totally feel your pain.

One thing to consider is food. You’ll need a lot as you learn to navigate combat. As soon as your health hits yellow, eat food. The game will pause when you eat, so chow down in the middle of a bug swarm if you need to. Salmon berries, forage, spring onions, and blackberries are a plentiful free source of energy. Parsnips in spring and hops and radishes in summer work well as energy sources too.

A great source of energy is high quality chubs. If you can fish, keep all of your chubs. I like to store them in chest at the top of the mines.

Check your crafting menu. If you can make cherry bombs (and with 30 copper bars I suspect you can) and staircases, it will really make your life easier.

Also, embrace infested floors. I finally progressed in combat when I hit that infested floor 11. I died, reset the day and tried again. After dying and restarting the day multiple times I was able to kill all the monsters. Finally, I could descend the mines.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

Progress down the mines is not dependent on killing monsters, so just... stop fighting them.

Just let them do their thing, while you focus on breaking rocks to find ladders. When you find the ladder, go straight down and they can't get you; problem solved. The early monsters don't do enough damage to be of concern, as they rely on cumulative damage to knock you out. You can forestall that quite easily, by keeping an eye on your health bar, and eating when necessary to restore health before you carry on mining.

There are a few monsters in the game that you actually have to stand and fight, that do enough damage in a single hit that you can very quickly end up in danger, and that leave you no choice but to stand and fight, but you won't have come across them yet.

Later in the game you will acquire better weapons, and then you can go back and safely commit mass murder to your heart's content. But for now, concentrate on the mining instead of the combat
