Fairly new player looking for guidance

[TripSin]

For general advice, check out the wiki. It has plenty of guides on there and a wealth of information most people consult regularly. Unfortunately, the low level zones aren't much populated anymore so it can be hard to find people to group with outside of maybe very prime time. You'll almost surely want to get a port if you want to find people to group with as mentioned above because the Erudite continent is not popular at all except for its 50+ zone
