Quests don't award any level experience. They reward contribution experience which helps you unlock nodes.

To clarify, meeting new people, fighting different mobs, gaining knowledge increase your energy CAP. Energy is regained over time.
GvG turns on after a month. If you hover over a node, you'll see it says "No Guild Owns This" or something to that effect. Eventually guilds will be going to war to own nodes in which they gain fame and money/taxes.

How are guild-controlled nodes going to work? Are they going to be able to allow people to come to their nodes whenever they want or are they going to be able to just make it so you're flagged as soon as you're in their nodes or what?
Because I really love the idea of running supplies from guild node to guild node.

A fun little experiment you can do is the following:
- Save about 30k silver in a Warehouse for easy trading
- Buy a decent green bow, nothing expensive, if you can the Yura is the best, but even cheaper ones are alright. Bronze dagger as a complement (Bronze over Steel for hitting red cons).
- Buy a store horse for 15k silver
- The stable keeper in Velia after 4 conversations or 5 (100 amity), will sell you Stirrups. This allows you to shoot while riding your horse.
Get ready for machine gun fun: ride around, slow, fast, strafing, backpedaling, doesn't matter really, what matters is that your LMB becomes a machine gun, doom on a horse, you'll wipe entire camps in seconds without breaking a sweat, Diablo 3 multishot DH can't hold a candle to this mass murdering machine. I did 14-19 in about 9 minutes of goblin holocaust, I was slowed by respawn rate sometimes. I thought Witch was badass (and it is), but at least at low levels, mounted bow shooting is simply ridicolously overpowered.
As a downside you'll get zero loot, unless you have an army of levelled up, ultra fast minipets that swipe everything in your bags.
Keep a bunch of carrots to feed your horse, because it sucks a lot of stamina out of it. I suggest to grind another 100 amity from the velia stable keeper to get the saddle too, for extra stamina for your horse (also it looks way better with the saddle).

I think I kind of knew this in the back of my head but didn't fully realized it. I was mainly using them to focus where I kill but from tonight on I just grind out 20-50.

As you level, you should do the Black Spirit quests, and honestly, you should do all the quests that involve killing the mobs you are currently grinding. Starting in Heidel (I think), there will be a group of 4 npc's hanging out in town(s)/camp(s); 1 giant, 1 dwarf, 1 otter, and 1 human. These guys will give out daily quests for killing mobs in their area...these quests give a lot of level xp. Also, quests in general will raise your Contribution / Energy, which allow you to unlock the Nodes around the area you are grinding in so you can get a higher chance at drops (Black Stones are especially important). The Black Spirit also has a series of quests which will reward you for reaching certain Contrib/Energy levels (60, 100, 140, etc)...these will give you about 3 million silver in total (or a bit more). You'll need millions of silver to level up your gear later on.
Speaking of gear, the Black Spirit will reward you tons of it, as you reach higher levels (30+, I think), you'll get an Ultimate Styd weapon box, this is a pretty good weapon, about equal to a +7, which is fine until you get a Yuria weapon (Ronatz in Calpheon, need 90k + 500 Amity with him) and upgrade it. The Spirit will also start handing the "Dobart" armor set, nothing fancy buy high defense, except each piece can be exchanged for one of the "named" armor pieces once you get it to +5. So you get a full set of Dobart armor to +5, then you get a quest from the Spirit to talk to Dobart in Calpheon to exchange for another set (Agerion, Taritas, Zeleth, Talis). And as you may have guessed, the Spirit will also give out a set of Accessories starting in the upper 40's, so you could get a set of Bares accessories for free (the +Attack Power accessories)...it will also give you 11 black armor stones from a series of quests that show you all the lvl50 hunting areas. This game as SO much to it.

Do you guys chain nodes as you go? I'm about to move into the Heidel area from Velia and wondering if I should link my existing nodes down to there or "pick up and move" by closing my current nodes and making a new node network in the new area (and then do that every time I move to a major new area). Atm I just have nodes linked between Olvia and Velia.

Depends if you plan on trading. I keep a very long conduit of nodes and cities linked together because I do a lot of trading and you need your beginning location and end connected. If not, it is probably worth just ripping up roots unless you have a lot of leveled workers in Velia (Workers cant be moved)
I did this today actually to check it out. No bronze dagger on the market though.
Tomorrow I grind. I grind hard. Off work for the next two days and going to hit 50 the first day I hope.
If I just start ignoring quests at like level 8 will I be OK? I just want to start running around and killing things without the obligation of some shitty quest giver.
