Carla and Drew give their best tips, for noobs and veterans alike. We answer hot questions like "Where do I get a crafting skill?", "Where do I buy a mount?", "What is the best class?", and other such questions one might see too often in General Chat, as well as some more in-depth questions for the knowledgeable player.
