Hello there. I'm a new player (about to finish my free month gametime) and I'm really interested into gathering and crafting professions. I started both and started to suffer at around lvl 10, when gathering a node barely moved the experience bar at all!

I think I might be doing something wrong and that's why I come here. I know it's recommended to gather one of everything in the gathering log since it gives extra exp for the first time, but other than that, I don't know how to lvl other than gathering nodes.

Is there any newbie guide or some recommendations I can follow to get started?

Thansk a lot!
