Definitely join a guild. Low level gear is literally worthless here on the EU server we are giving them for free, don't know what about na though. About 160 CP gear just find someone to craft it all for a week's worth of daily writs gold maybe.
Join a guild. Ask around to see if someone can craft you some training gear; it doesn't have to be good (and it won't, lol), but you just need something that will get you a few levels, doesn't even need to be part of a set. Don't buy runs, it's a tremendous waste of money, some people will be more than glad to run content with you if you need. I highly recommend buying some Longfin Pasties or having someone buy/give you a few, they're quite cheap, or you can simply use the free Crown Chicken that is sometimes given out by Daily Rewards. Once you hit 10, try to do your daily dungeon each day. If you have EXP scrolls, use them right before you finish a daily dungeon, then try to farm some dolmens in Alik'r.

1) Creating 7 characters and leveling them to 6 to run writs for easy income.
2) Joining every guild that advertised in zone chat and had no requirements - port to every guild member to get wayshrines
3) Researching 3 traits so I could make armor: Inate Axiom + Vasteries tutelege are not bad and craftable early on
....3a) make the armor in divines, rather than training, you may find changing mundus helps customize for different content
....3b) ignore enchants early on
....3c) don't make the rings, use the broken soul ones you get at level 5 (or so) for the last 2 pieces
....3d) white quality full-gear sets are more powerful than you might think.
That said, I play on both EU and NA with some regularity. If you want to kick start by moving 100K gold from one server to the other, or need a cheap set of starter gear, send a mail to my main: SirPrizedofTen on either server.
I think what makes something like this hard is when you are fresh and you go right into powerleveling mode. That is not how the game is meant to be played and normally you would compensate by using other characters to support your newbie.
When i start fresh, I immediately port to a city that i can crafting dailies in. I do all my prerequisites and can usually hit level 6 in about 20-25 minutes doing these( I skip the tutorial). I then run around Khenarthi's Roost doing chests so i can get some decent gear. Depending on how long i stay here i should be between level 7-9. I would then port to Markarth grab dailies, and run those quests. That should put me at or above level 10.
In this time, if playing magicka, i would have acquired a resto staff. I would learn a couple of spells. I would then queue for dungeons as the wait time on dungeons for a healer for most of the day is less than 3 minutes( just enough time to work on cleaning some of your inventory out.). While in the dungeons, i would focus on healing and container looting and let the DPS do the killing.
Everyday i would do a combination of dailies( markarth and such) and dungeon running. I would join a trade guild when i acquired enough stock and start selling so i can start using guild stores to help get things i need rather than have to farm everything myself.
Personally, i don't find dolmens to be fun, challenging, or worth the effort in XP or loot when you can get lots of XP and loot doing dailies and dungeons.

No food, no gear, 22k mag keep running out grr
How did you tackle this frustrating thing?
I'm contemplating if I should just offer crowns to people for service of leveling, crafting etc, but how to trust
And how much I should offer for leveling? Training gear? Or 160 cp julianos
Or is it better to sell them for gold?
Or just join a guild
If I just get to 160 cp and get my hands on semi decent gear I can farm necessities
Idk, just give me tips and tricks, advertise your guild etc
Ps. PC/NA salute to other newbs running Alikr dolmesn with me

Just do the quest storyline. Use the gear you get along the way. You will be fine. Why do you see yourself as running out of anything? You are just starting out and should be learning to survive first not thinking you can wreck face.

It sure does, because I am so used to having 810 cp on alts and level them in few hours this felt so detrimental lol
I regret not doing this during jubilee, so much potential to make money, I will join the guilds to unlock those shrines as the player above suggested and you have a point, those dailies drop motifs and gear that might be useful
Many guilds run <50 pvp, however you might be better off getting levels, cp and skill points first anyway.Cirantille wrote: »Cirantille wrote: »It feels super uncomfortable and overwhelming

Yes but I already have fully leveled 18 chars on EU
And I like PvPing, this way I am a little stuck though I can play no cp when I get to 160 I guess

My plan:
Join a guild
Dolmen Leveling to lvl 10
From lvl 10-50 I make a tank for fast dungeon que, skill points etc.
I certify it ASAP so I can do writs
Research traits ASAP
At lvl 50 make decent overland gear so I can start to farm monster helmets at 160 where I buy/make next set of gear until I can get BIS or near BIS.
