Um well first off newbies are level 1 20 in my opinion. Then 20 - 30 you go
through a tranisition where the game really changes for you and then 30+ you
are no longer a newbie. Besides the point since you were in the arenna
anyway it would of been a ton quicker to just travel through rathe
mountains, Ferrott, Innothule, Sro, Oasis, Nro, and then freeport. There are
ways around this, your just going to have to take the root evil race tanks
take.
