Just starting out. Tips on where to go?

[RTukka]

That's safe advice, although the mob density in some of the starting zones is rather poor, so in some cases it does make sense to move to another starting area.

I'd recommend non-evil erudites hop on the boat to Qeynos, for example. (If you're an enchanter, stock up on Tiny Daggers first though.) The Qeynos newbie yard is much better than Toxxulia. Similarly, it can make sense as a dark elf to make the run to the Freeport yard.
