For resists, you can socket your gear with Runes (as Dominos said), resistance gems (Amber, Bloodstone, Onyx, Turquoise for armor; Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Emerald for shields), jewels with res mods, make jewelwords, or simply wear gear with res mods. You can also buy Mystic Orbs from vendors, but they're expensive early on. Check the vendor inventories for what they offer (A1=Gheed, A2=Drognan, A3=Alkor, A4=Halbu, A5=Larzuk).
Really, the only thing you need to be aware of as a new player is that there are 3 level-restricted events: Level Challenge 1 (max clvl 50), Ennead Challenge (max clvl 80), and Level Challenge 2 (max clvl 90). So make sure not to over-level before you've completed them.
Finally, if you screw up your build, don't worry. You still get 1 Akara respec per difficulty, as well as Belladonna Extracts, which also allow you to repec and typically start dropping around A2 Terror.
For more info, look to the
Official Documentation and the
Median Wiki. And there's a
Median Discord Channel if you don't know about that already.
There are also many build guides in the
Guide Center that can help you know what's generally important and give you tips on how to do certain things, even if the particular guide isn't for your build.
