sorry meant to add on PS4 (couldn't find the edit button)

[edit, found the edit button on my second post but now can't edit the first, sorry :P ]

"1. I have stuff, recipes for example that I don't need and sell for little. I tried to trade with random lower levels (i'm 12) folks to give them away, but would appear you can't. I read that sharing via a guild is the way but I have no idea what to do for that. Do i just join a guild and give it away, i have no interest in selling randomly acquired stuff, I am all for sharing with new folks (and old folks though they likely won't need my level 12 crap :P)"

A: Guilds have a guildstore. This is a place where you can list items you want to sell (and choose what price you want to sell it for). You can also browse the store to see what your fellow guildmembers are selling (e.g. to see what price is reasonable or cause you can use it). Some guilds also have a guildtrader. This is an npc in the world they hire for a period of 1 week (based on biddings). This allows non-members to browse the store of that guild and buy the items needed. Guilds with such a trader are often called "trading guilds". The better location a guilds trader has, the better the sales are. But it also means the trader is more expensive. So those guilds often require your to meet a certain amount of sales (they get a small cut of your profit to pay for the trader). So join a trading guild and make sure you inform bout the location of the trader and the things they require from you. for example, my trading guild (on the PC) has a trader in the main town of the third map and ask members to be active and use the trader to sell items (no requirement how much). The A location-guilds demands you to make atleast an x amount of profit each week.


"2. How/Why do I join a guild (other than question 1) i have seen guild traders around and some randoms have invited me (i ignored) honestly I don't know if i should. I hear you can join up to 5. I'd love to know the pros/cons.
"
A: As for the function of guildtraders, see the above
You need to be invited by a member of the guild. I am in 4 guilds. One is the traderguild I'm leading. I'm also member of a bigger traderguild that I also use to do my trades. One guild is a social guild that I use to chat, socialize and play together and I'm member of a PvP guild.. My fifth guild slot is currently unused.


"3. I am mostly selling stolen goods and deconstructing/researching weapons for experience/parts , i read this is best for early game leveling but i make bugger all money (1k/6 hours really). I need that mount but honestly i'll likely just buy crowns/sub once payday rolls around. is this the best way to go about things?"

A: Researching: Hell yeah. Do it as early as possible and as much as possible. Now it is a matter of hours. At later levels it will be a matter of weeks!
Deconstructing: it is good to deconstruct to level experience, but don't do it on all. Also sell the items to the merchant. I've heard that 1/3th deconstruct, 2/3th sold for money is a good ratio to keep on track for the crafting while still gaining enough money to get things going. Stealing is also a great way of getting some money quickly.


"4. I read people talking about "builds" like concentrating on healing ect I am just randomly leveling up things I use or sound useful (hirelings) i guess for dungeons a mixed team works but I only have one friend on my list who plays ESOTU so i doubt i will be doing them (i hear they are multiplayer areas/ so perhaps a pro for guilds?)"

A: The term "hirelings" is used for crafting. It is an npc that sends you crafting materials in the mail everyday. It got nothing to do with dungeons or group content.
There are several kind of dungeons.
1: solo dungeons aka delves. These are indicated on the map as a torch. You can do these solo
2: public dungeons. These are hard to do solo, but cause anyone can enter the same instance, you often have fellow players running around (just like open world), so it is not required to group up at all.
3: group dungeons. These are instanced and (nearly) impossible to solo. You will need a group and in those group you got 3 roles:
- tank, to hold the agro
- healer: to keep everyone alive
- dps: people dealing the heavy damage. Typically in a group you got two of these.
Many guilds run dungeons on a regular base, and you can also use the groupfinder (that works bad on the console at the moment due to bugs) to find a so called "pug" (pick up group , aka a group of people you dont know. be warned, not everyone is nice there)

great feedback guys/gals thank you

seems i need to find a guild atleast, i would like some friends...

@MissBizz how does one go about training a horse without one?

Not called @missbiz but to answer it. Just go to the stable, talk to the stableguy there and check the tab bout riding skills.

Yup. If you look at your map, where you see a horse head (usually in or just outside a city) is where you will find a stable with stablemaster

I'm more concerned why it wouldn't let him trade. He knows how to, right?

Go up to a player, hold down the menu button, select invite to trade.

sorry I should clarify, I could trade but the recipe was not in the list of things that I could trade. However i think it may now be because I had stolen it but not laundered it. perhaps...


[edit]
To confirm, I had another recipe (found not stolen) I didn't need so tried again, it was in the list this time around so does work.
