If you have the Winds of Magic DLC, beat Dark Omens to gain access to weaves. Then complete a round of weaves so you can start earning essence to upgrade weapons and abilities at the athanor after regular games.
Even if you aren’t interested right now, at least you can hoard the essence so if you do change your mind, you’ll have enough to upgrade anything you want.
Also, don’t level up the Athanor past level 23 you get nothing for it and waste your essence.
External link →One ranked weave. The first one is actually quite difficult. Bots do not spawn in there, and you have 5 power weapons and must use your starting gear (so like greatsword on Kruber - if you ply GK, you start with two greatswords). It took me 3 attempts to beat it by myself.
I think you can beat it pretty easily with a full team. Otherwise, IIRC, weave quick play spawns you in with bots. Beat a few runs of that, and you will have some essence to upgrade your stuff. Then the first ranked weave is a lot easier.
If you quickplay you get bots though (not 100% if that unlocks the essence bonus though unfortunately). You also get a lot more essence when quickplaying weaves
