			Hello! Just looking for advice for two brand new people to wildstar (but not mmos) for leveling as far as possible during the event! Anything helps thanks! We are in us server going exiles.	
----
			
- Only do story, zone and region quests.  Ignore tasks (unless they're taking you to a new quest hub).
- Try and do quests 3 levels above you (if there are 2 of you together this should be easy to do)
- When you out level an area/ are the same level as that area, move on (to find a new area you can hit I think default bind N to open up content finder and see where quest hubs are).
- Take a look at this to see the general level each area has: http://www.tentonhammer.com/wildstar/guides/wildstar-exile-leveling-zones
- If you want to spend some money, get an XP flask.
- When you're done leveling for the day, port back to your house to soak up rested XP. Place down decor w/ each buff type (aroma, pride etc) you only need to get one type each - try and get the ones with medium or large bonuses (stacking smalls won't rise up the bonus)
- Dungeons and pvp can be fun, but they don't give really great XP compared to questing.  Ques also rarely will pop, and you can end up in a not-so-great group and spend hours in a dungeon.  A fun experience for sure to have, but if speed is your concern, just quest.
 
All I can think of right now.

I know a lot of people have said to skip task quests, just do world/zone/region quests and dungeons.
 
I'm not 100% sure how well that'd work. I got to 50 in like...4 days with signature and taking my time (reading/listening to everything because lore)
 
Above post seems to know what they're talking about. I'm gonna see how fast I can get my Robot Pirate Doctor to 50 doing that :O

At level 6-ish once you get through the starter zone (Norther wastes or everstar grove iirc) you can buy a "provisional" mount at the first quest hub. You'll get a quest to explore town that will show you the mount vendor.  It won't last forever but it lasts a long time.  Once you hit lvl 15 (I think) you can buy a "real" mount in thayd for 10g - just questing should give you that much money. If you still have your provisional mount though, you can skip that until you hit 50.
 
That or buy a mount from the store, but they are a bit pricey :P Mounts are def. worth using as you quest.

			One other tip,  Wildstar is now in humble bundle at the $1 or more price. Which means that for $1 you can get a hoverboard, 5 gold, a bigger inventory bag, a way to get to your housing plot at a lower level and a few extra things that will more than make up for the money you will not get by doing every little task in the low level zones. Trust me, it is totally worth a dollar just for the hoverboard and it's account bound so every character you make will have a mount as soon as they get old enough to drive.

It just about halves the time it takes.  Skipping tasks benefits you in two ways: it cuts out the time you'd spend fetching bear asses, and it keeps you from getting to the same level as the story quests.  The difference in XP payout for doing the story quests when they're LVL+3 is greater than the amount you'd get for doing every task in the zone.
 
Doing it during a bonus weekend will probably also let you skip one or two quest hubs.  I always pass over the Protostar hubs in Whitevale and Malgrave, and I think I skipped Wigwali village last time around as well.  The trick really is keeping the story a couple levels above your character level.

			Queue for Dungeons!! Since F2P the exp is pretty big - usually a level if not more from 1 run.

			The best type of mount you can use while leveling is a Hoverboard since it will float over water. This can cut travel time if you're speeding over waterways to get to another questhub.
