****************POST FINISHED, FINAL FINDINGS POSTED BELOW- followed by original post**********************
Things that I figure are good to share:
2 types of levelling- 1-45, and 45-50.
1-45: task items (frontier mixed in a bit)
@ At around lvl 20, die a few times in the frontier for 1L3's Serenity, Lw1, and Tireless. You now have infinite sprint+ power regen. Any non-power user can just get Lw1 and Tireless.
Around level 40, get all your secondary tradeskills to 1100. Gives you more money later- only takes a 60-80g investment. Very low.
Between 35-40, you want to start dying in the frontier a lot more. /task shows you when the 15 min interval is about to hit (out of 60 mins in the Invade Midgard/Albion/Hibernia section). See if you can double-stack these (meaning, if you die and type /task and see it's 47:00 left in the task, wait for a bit over a minute and head out to die again- you lose nothing for dying. The next quarter is only 2mins away @ 45:00. So if you get one @ 45:01 and one @44:59, you're hugeeeee) and then go to an xp area. Depending on your level and ability to level, it may or may not be worth leaving your xp spot to go level up. Use feel for this.
When I say "go die in the frontier" you'll begin to notice some areas that are fast to die. Snowdonia on the way to Pennine Mtns- always someone camping there. If nobody is there, go to Hibernia/Midgard and just run to a keep that they control. Guards count as RvR deaths. Normal NPCs don't.
@45 in albion, there's some good stuff to level on in Snowdonia (lizards on the SW corner, etc...) and then you can also hitup SI areas (water elementals) for those big bonuses. You want to be doing tasks 100%. You might not have enough money to buy all the task items outright- so go farm em' up! You'll make money from trinketing the stuff you salvage (that's where these tradeskills come in handy).
@47 die every 15 min interval in the frontier. Hand-in 10 xp items and get back to rvr. You can actually potentially kill others now, so go enjoy!
Misc tip: Don't be afraid of respecs. Until lvl 50 or 3L0- you get unlimited free respecs. Respec the hell out of it, and change to whatever style is best for your level. For a while, I found no NPCs with open areas... so I switched to being an Air Theu for the nuke. Then after you're done, respec back.

Someone pointed out the task section earlier, but yea... this has all the info you need for every realm
Misc tip: Buy all the pots you can afford.
Casters: Deftness, Invigoration, Dexterity, Replenishment, Power are the key words to search for in housing. Don't know what I'm talking about? Talk to a teleporter and click "entrance." Then use one of those words on the market explorer.
Tanks would need healing, rejuv, endurance... obviously not power. Probably Strength and the str/con one as well. They're two diff pots.
Find the best prices, try to buy draughts if possible (100 charges).
Final tip:
Use your bind stone when needed. Obviously you can't from the frontier (but I think I only was there for 5-7 levels anyways... the rest you can find good NPCs inland). The time saved running is huge.
Gonna hit 50 tomorrow or the next day... or something. Just some IRL stuff came up.

Hey guys,
I wrote like 5 diff intros- and I've deleted them all. I don't know how to make a splash other than to say, *KERPLOOSH*.
Before I get into it... I don't want to be powerlevelled. I'm going to organically do the whole shibang- and it's all gonna be streamed live! Hopefully it's a bit of a guide for newbies (which I'm going to essentially be).
I've got years of experience with DAoC, but they're almost uniquely ToA+. Considering we're dealing with SI times, I'm not sure how I'm going to fare.
Anyways, if you want to swing by tomorrow and shout "WHAZUP," go ahead and do it. Tips will also make me happy (tips like, "you might wanna go visit tomb of mithra" not like $5... although $5 makes me happy too, but in a much different way... like in the kind of way that I make money for playing DAoC, which is every 16 year old's dream back in 2000).

I'll also drop into discord and see what's up. Looks like a fun time.
