With the community help, namely Izanami, u will feel like u are playing in NA server with the game 99% translated, u dont have to worry much, only stuff that are not translated are events related, and some content still unable in NA, about language barrier, international players are playing in 1 particular server including malaysian players. For updates and patchnotes, theres Empyreal.

If u are playing BnS with 400ms in NA, u will be having a blast playing in Taiwan, combat is smooth

For more info just go to BnS Dojo taiwan section.

Oh yeah, u will not get HM weapon and accessories at the start, u will only gett ur first HM weapon right before Silverfrost, before that, u will only have to rely literally on any weapon u will get, some from main quest, some from the Wheel, dungeons, mobs etc. including accessories, I think they are trying to kill the evolve stones and crafting shiznits, because even I thought they are dumb for new players. I think its better this way

萬夫莫敵 if u go to the taiwan thread u will know because we only talk about this server
