I just started playing, Im currently lvl 16, No idea what im doing really lol. I just keep getting low lvl quests and doing them by myself. Im a human mage and dont know how to build it. Also wondering if theres a way to lvl up faster? Any help/suggestions is appreciated.

What server?
Life in the Harbor helps alot.
Do that quest several times and try to find a guild that can help you out.
It's a very quest based game for the most part until you get so far and start doing instances that give huge exp bonuses.

Im on West ( Lionheart ) , I wanted to make a new char too , I'm not sure what kind to make, I wanted to be able to Solo and Duo alot of stuff.

I have a level 41 Warrior on Storm so far.
With a Warrior you're able to do a lot of stuff by yourself.

Theres a lot of crap to learn about the game. PM me with your questions and ill try to answer them as best I can

Lionheart Lev80 Priest and Lev74 MM here. Let me know if you need help.
