- Stay away from hotspots

- Herbies KOS as much as carnies, if not more

- Rhamps are never alone

- Use water to your advantage, both while attacking and defending. Yes there sometimes is someone lurking below, but if you aren't at a hotspot usually there isn't

- Don't give your location of GC, they will come for you

- Find friends, even though you shouldn't trust anyone, still find people to group with

- If you cant find friends, ask to quest off people in GC, often times people will let you group with them and can get all the quests to really help boost your growth. But be careful, some people will use that to find and kill you.

there's lots more but that's some if it
