Im just excited that new people are playing, hang in there! I'd agree if you can do even a few gathering or crafting leves that will help your income. Gathering leves take very little time to complete (some like 5-10 mins). If you do mining you will be getting silver ore fairly quickly which you can sell in wards or npc decently. Sidequests and main story should help too. Heres an older link to some side quests (first thing I could find on google) , if someone has a newer one please post for them.
