I’ll do that with you if you’d like!
I’ll start with the basics here, and we’ll continue in-game (unless you prefer to read about it here, in that case I’ll stick to this).
First things first, starting your journey you will select a race. Each race has their own lore, which emphasizes their characteristics and style. For the practical part, races are of little importance, so you should choose whichever one you seem to like the most.
The next step is of alot more importance; selecting a profession. Generally GW2 has a very balanced profession system, but not all professions are equally good at all aspects (necromancers offer very little support to the group for instance), so you should pick accordingly. For more information on professions, contact me and I will furthermore explain them.
Once in-game you’ll see there’s lots of things Guild Wars 2 can offer; Crafting is based on refining the materials gathered on the field and converting them into practical items (gear, inventory boxes, food, etc…) I’ll fully explain crafting some other time if you don’t mind, as it’s a very extensive topic.
Where to go first once your character is made? Wherever. Mostly, you want to follow your character’s personal story and help the citizens of Tyria out (the heart missions) – This is a great start to learn the game mechanics, how to play your class, gain levels and earn money!
Besides money, you’ll be rewarded with karma. Eastern cultures believed in karma deeply, as in “good deeds will be done to those who do good deeds”, if you get me. Basically, you are rewarded with it for helping the citizens out. You can purchase gear, crafting supplies, etc with it. Why? Cause you’ve been a good lad! :P
This is it for now lol, dont want to throw too much at you at once. Add me in-game and send me a whisper whenever and I’ll show you around! Also, you can contact me on here just aswell.
Hope I helped!
Regards, oRx

Dude thank you so much! I’m level 17 I think, just finished the starting area completely so it’s just a matter of where to go now even with the little arrow telling me where to go haha
I’m in Lions Arch now and that place is so big, I have no idea what’s actually there or what to do there! haha
I will definitely speak to you in game if that’s ok? Dreamy was helping me with combat but I had to go offline and he’s not been on since and I really want to play the game and not feel lost and totally confused xD
You’re very welcome!
Lion’s arch is what I love to call a “middleman”. It is where most players go in-between their training for several reasons; It has all the important features a big city can offer; a bank, merchants and a trading post, but what the most important feature of Lion’s Arch really is: Asura Gates. It has teleports to all of the races’ major cities, making it a great hub from which you can access all racial zones and all zones nearby those.
Brief explanation; each race has a 1-10 zone, and a few zones surrounding it (10-15, 15-20, 20-25, etc…), meaning you got several training options, as you can choose to train in any of these, and they are all equally good. The problem is you usually finish off a zone before reaching its level cap (you are level 22 when you finish the 20-25 zone, so you cannot proceed to the next) – in these cases, you go to another race’s zone of the same level.
Also don’t be afraid to finish off lower level zones at any level; it all gives solid xp!
