This is a recommendation list for other gamer's who read this to either add to or enhance as the time progresses for Beginners come to the game.
1) If for example you are a thief you thus have Thievery automatically but NO Abilities for Religion, Dungeoneering, etc.. But That does not mean you cannot when reaching the Protector's Enclave, find a merchant that sells the Kits. Recommendation is 3-5 kits of each type bought outright except for your specialty(Mine being a rogue/thief does not need thief kit). As you enhance through the levels, keep 10 for when going into dungeons that are single player in general. Please note when doing dungeons with a group - first gets to it first gets it.
1a) With this said, scour for these types of items - they will be sparkling blue if you have the necessary kit, otherwise as you most likely have found out will be glowing red and you can't do a bloody thing with them. Though if you have the kit you can sometimes get anything from items needed for professions to runes to even items for your character that will help or can be sold.
1b) Try and remember where the "drops" are of these items as some quests repeat you to go into an area with them numerous times just to finish out a zone/areas quests. If they aren't there. Someone beat you to it already.
2) Gold/Silver/Copper IS Important. I saw one person say in global chat it isn't. That's garbage because it allows the buying of Injury Kits and Healing potions and previously stated the kits. And it takes a lot of copper to be built up from the drops of killing monsters to earn the gold. It's taken me to level 30 to finally make it with 10 gold still being built.
3) Do your dailys As much as possible - But remember they are timed as to when you can do repeatable daily's again. Sometimes it's 20 hours others are 4 or such. I don't recall the exact times but they are needed and I can appreciate these time frames. But do them for the unrefined Astral Diamonds. People are complaining this is not a free game. Well it is so to speak. You can earn the Astral diamonds this way slowly but it can take time. Patience is needed as with any game.
4) This game is not always necessary to play with a tank and healer and support etc... as many of the other mmo's out there are doing. Coming to this world, of Neverwinter, you need to throw a lot of what you may already know of games, online at least, and relearn how to specialize and work the keyboard even how to make a team without a healer work well.
5) Kill Kill Kill, I say this because it levels a bit faster and allows for more bonuses etc. Heck if you die, as long as you found the camp site you'll just need an injury kit to fix you up. I had a leg injury and went against a boss once, slowed me down significantly so I say keep a stock of 5 injury kits at all times for any deaths.
6) Well I'll stop here and say, Others PLEASE contribute to this thread and Dev's/Moderators, I ask that you make this a sticky if possible when it has enough info for everyone or at least an editable sticky to help.
Those who feel I'm wrong say so, and give why. So we can all work together to help make a great game experience. I can be reached via PM and I will be glad to respond to questions.
Thank you for listening and hope this helps some beginners.

Btw corrected first post, Mitzelpikl. Thanks for the heads up.
Agree or disagree Fcrowles? And again sorry for getting my dander up. Sorry it's late and been a rough day and wanting to kill some monsters LOL.
Visual - Learn through seeing things.
Audio - Learn by hearing things.
Kinesthetic - Learn by doing things.
Tactile - Learn by touching.
The two most common methods are Kinesthetic and Tactile. Visual learners are very rare, usually people with a photographic memory. If someone figures out how to do something on their own not only did they find a solution to their problem they also figured out HOW to find a solution to their problem making them a more intelligent useful person. I never invite people to raids I constantly see asking very obvious questions like "How do you stealth as rogue" - "Where do I get a companion" and a few other big ones I can't remember I see literally every 30 seconds in PE.
Heh, just so you know: Kinesthetic and tactile learners are the same thing, it's just another name for the same style. (http://www.studyingstyle.com/tactile-kinesthetic-learners.html)
They literally teach you how to do everything in this game. The tutorial is fantastic and the helpful hints. The dialogue for the quests. Common sense isn't even required. All you need is the ability to read.
Agreed, also handy with the soloing, where you are low on energy and just want to reach a campsite/healing spot and are out of potions.
Stop identifying equipment you can't use. Identify scrolls are pretty expensive and the low payoff for selling equipment you can't use doesn't really justify using an identify scroll IMO. Unless something looks really cool, like a sword dropping from Boss in upper levels. Then you might go for it hoping to cash in at an auction. I've run out of identify scrolls a few times and it's really annoying having to spend your AD's to buy new ones. In general I think ppl should consider trading more and just trade unidentified equipment they can't use to something unidentified that fits their class. It would probably be worth the payoff. Same goes for Kits you don't need.
To me it seems the game throws you a huge amount of portable altars so don't be afraid to use one before a big fight or instead of using potions to heal.

Read my link please: http://www.studyingstyle.com/tactile-kinesthetic-learners.html
wiki states the same: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesthetic_learning
Short quote: Making up about 5% of the population, tactile and kinesthetic learners absorb information best by doing, experiencing, touching, moving or being active in some way.
Enjoy feeling, discovery and action
They are the same thing. I'm not trying to knock you here, but just google kinesthetic learning. You'll find thousands of other references that same the same thing, it's not my opinion vs. yours.
A student who is always touching things is a tactile learner. These are the learners who need to practice what they learn. Learning for this type has to be tangible. These were the students in lab class that always touched items before instructions were given. They just have to touch what they are learning. It is difficult to transfer some subjects into tactile lessons, but a tactile learner need to be active with his learning.
Kinesthetic Learner
For a teacher, these students are sometimes frustrating. In the middle of a lecture or directions, these students will be walking around the classroom. These types of learners learn by moving. Some classrooms are installing stand up desks. A kinesthetic learner will remember better when being taught learning. Also, letting a kinesthtic learner move while he learns is best. A teacher might give this learner a reading assignment and let him walk down the isle and back to his desk while reading.
I'm not asking if they are the same. I'm telling you they are different. If you really want to believe they are the same then that's on you. I'm a professor at a college with a masters in teaching and a MTS in the military.
Also tactile-kinesthetic is a kinesthetic learner. It's not a basic form of learning.
Ok, if you insist. But for a university professor you blatantly plagiarized that quote from http://voices.yahoo.com/four-basic-learning-styles-7103082.html?cat=4.
It's a word-for-word rip-off from that site.
Technically that should get you fired, but this is off topic completely so I will politely agree to disagree.

Thus far thank you to all who are contributing to this. I am looking to make this into one long thread after I see how it progresses in a day or two. Please though I ask disagreements such as Tactile Vs Kinesthetic to PM's please. If you find the information wrong, that IS NOT pertinent to the game, PM the person so this thread stays clear of any unnecessary info put into it.
Thanks

Yes it was a copy and paste because I don't waste my time typing up paragraphs for a ignorant internet troll.
