Welcome!
Best advice I can give to a new player is don't rush levels!
Enjoy the quests which are mostly aimed at lower levels, and enjoy exploring and investigating things. It's a massive world. When you are high level there will be very few places that are worth hunting any more, so if you just focus on levelling up you will find you miss out a lot of experiences that you would otherwise have enjoyed.
There's so much to learn, don't try to learn it all at once. Follow the quests in the village you start in, they are very simple and don't take long and will get you a good grasp of the absolute basics of the game. Then proceed to the "farmer" NPC in the middle of the main town (Bichon Wall) and find he has a lot more quests for you. The exp rewards from those will get you a good start.
Collect up things that drop and sell them to shops, you should easily gain enough gold to buy any items you need from shops. Players tend to only sell higher level items so don't worry about trading with players for now.
If there's anything you're properly stuck on have a search on the forum first, as most things have had guides written for them at some point or another. If you can't find anything then give me a message in game and I'll help if I can.
Good luck on your adventure!
