Darkfall is not new player friendly which is something we have hounded on Aventurine from day 1. It turns new players away becuase there is no way to catch up to the curve in a timely fashion.

Best bet is to farm hard and try to stick with group pvp.

always be making gear bags and do not craft.

combat skills> crafting skills.

crafting does n0t help you in a fight and there are too many established crafters already so if you need something someone should be able to accommodate you.
