Help for Dregora

I have started a Dregora world and I have been struggling way harder than in normal Rlcraft and also have finally reached a stage of having Prot 4 Golden armor and gold saber for 25% durability damage absorption and don't know how to progress now and don't know how strong am I do anything so any tips, methods or guides to help me progress? Thanks!

Also how do I get enchanting books as I've heard that purification method has been patched and from experience It is very scarce of Villages to find and mostly either a vast wasteland of nothing or inhospitable environment as I'm living in a goddam "Polluted Ocean" where there is nothing but mud and ash and HEAPS of sirens that is also found on land
