My tip to new players (if you want to rush to endgame)

[Guide]

To be honest, the whole trial/tutorial stage of the game in the very beginning can
be a little dull. But the beautiful thing about Albion is the fact that you're not
actually time gated behind the end game content. After just one or two hours you
can live out in the dangerous black zones just like the rest of us veteran players.

Here's the to do list:

To start living in the black zones, you need to get to Cearleon which is the city
in the center of the Royal continent. But before you move to Cearleon there are are
two things you need to do first.

Number 1: Get a gathering profession of your own choice to tier 4. In the black
zones, you can not gather tier 3 resources, so you need to be able to gather tier 4
before you come here. It can take a very long time to level up gathering in Albion,
so it is advised to specialize in only 1 gathering profession.

Number 2: Make sure you can equip yourself with a full set of tier 4 gear and
weapons. I advise spending LP (Learning Points) to get from tier 3 to 4, but then
you should save the LP until you're more certain about what you want to play. Just
make sure you get to tier 4.

Now you're ready to move to Cearleon. This city is basically your home and the
black zones is your hunting ground. You can store items in the bank in Cearleon so
you only leave the city with items you can afford to lose.

Equip yourself in a set of full tier 4 and the gathering tool of your choice and
move up to the realmgate, pick any location you like. The continent Anglia (green)
might be the best choice for now.

It's very easy for you to be self sufficient in the lower tiers of the black zones.
A full set of t4 is very cheap and you'll soon be able to easily afford a set of
4.1, poisons and food as well.

The maps are full of 2 types of mobs. 1) Animals that are meant to be skinned, and
2) monsters. Unless you're a skinner, you should probably avoid the animals for
most part and just focus on killing the monsters. In a set of full tier 4 it should
be fairly easy to kill them, and once you can afford to bring tier 4 poisons with
you it'll be even easier.

It's very easy for you to make money as a new player in the black zones. Keep an
eye out for treasure chests. There are two types of chests. 1) mob camp chests and
2) hidden treasure chests. The monster camp chests are very obvious and usually
shine a bit, located next to a small group of monsters that you need to clear out.
These chests yield silver when destroyed and a single chest can usually pay for a
whole new set of gear for you. The hidden chests do not have any monsters at all
defending them, but are a lot harder to find because they usually blend in well
with the environment. They often look like logs in the wood zones and like skulls
in the desert zones. Destroy these and you can pick up items that can be sold for
silver back in Cearlon on the market place.

If you have no luck finding chests, you can always just start collecting tier 4
resources and sell those.

Don't be afraid of the black zones, the endgame in Albion is very easy to get
started with. Just make sure you leave the valuable items back in Cearleon before
you head out, and return to stash your items every now and then. Don't be afraid to
die, just bring out cheap tier 4 gear in the beginning and get used to it.

Last tip: If a Tome of Insight drops for you.. it's a very valuable book that
yields only a small amount of fame (experience), if one drops for you, run back to
Cearleon and sell it.

Also, don't forget to purchase some tier 3 Soup (food) to bring along. This allows
you to regen health in between your kills every time you're out of combat.

If you have a group of friends, you can also check out the dungeons and even
attempt PvPing by hunting down other players.

If you have any questions, please ask.
