--- Basics for Vets returning to the game from 10+ years ago.
Alt + O opens your menu options.
Alt + M opens your sub menu for socials / actions.
your Alt + M sub menu has a Socials tab. Click it backwards to 10 or whatever and click on a blank tab. Name it "Corpse" and type " /corpse " (without qoutes) on the line. Do the same for " /assist " and " /loc ". Macros are fairly important, and those 3 get used more than anything.

I'll end with those for this part, so...

If you rolled a Light race in Faydwer, get your ass over to in front of Kaladim and level from 1-5 there. Accept no substitutions. Bone Chips and cloth armor / rusty weapons for days. Just do it - and save the chips. They sell for 5pp a stack in East Commons tunnel all day long, or even more for desperate people wanting Cabilis faction. It goes without saying you will want to level from 6-11 outside / inside crushbone for belts, which sell for 2-3pp a pop. more if someone rich and stupid comes by.
If you rolled a Dark race - get the hell over to Nektulos and get bound. Innothule SUCKS to level in due to water breaking LoS for spells / proximity aggro unlike how it worked in Classic. It's not worth dealing with. While you could level in Feerot, visibility kinda makes that place suck too, but you can go for it.
The naked ogre / troll run to Nektulos is a time honored tradition. And it is worth the risk as the bone chips / cloth + rusties is much, much better than your starting zone. Tons of silks too (save those spiderling silks. those sell in EC tunnel too).
If you rolled an Iksar - good job. Level from 1-5 in field of bone, SAVE your bone chips, but also do the Curscale Pelt quest for mad experience. All the Cabilis noob turn-in quests suck for experience but that one. It's as good as the Kaladim paladin chip quest. Bank pelts, save them, make the jump from 5-6 easier from doing a massive turn in instead of turning them in through the stretch of 1-5.
People wanting Cabilis faction will buy your bone chips. Just be patient. It does happen off and on. Save spiderling silks as well.
You CAN leave Kunark if you have courage, to cash in on that CB belt madness. Exit out of Cabilis into Warsliks woods, hook around the Giant Fort on the right side as you run for the Overthere exit at loc neg 300, pos 4000. Once in the Overthere, hug the wall to the ocean, run along the shore to the Evil city wall, jump in, swim, give the wall a LOT of room (there's a stupid Sarnak spawned near the wall in the water), swim over to the dock area, tread water, wait, then get on the boat by climbing up a barrel on the rear.
As you enter Timorous Deep, wait until the boat passes by the Graveyard of Ships location, let the boat travel 500 full loc past that, then jump off. Swim past the graveyard, then carefully make your way to the Firepot Room at neg 12000, pos 4400. If you jump off the boat early and try to swim in a straight line instead for the shortest route, a Fire gator might eat you. Go the longer way past the ship graveyard, cutting back in a straight line once past it for the safe way.
Once inside the Firepot chamber, Click on the brown wooden flame for Kelethin. You'll spawn in a spot outside of the PoD lift guards that might aggro you. So you'll be safe. Faeries in the zone pathing in certain areas WILL kick your ass though, so get a bind as soon as possible. I'd recommend camping the Wizard spires for a Wiz to give you a mercy bind near the Zone Wall by it.
