What's new for levellers

Fastest general tips (Classic Era baseline)

1. Take every quest in a hub; turn in by hub.
2. Train every even level; set your hearth to the hub you'll return to.
3. Gathering pays for skills and mount (professions).
4. Group for elites and dungeon chains; party XP penalty is now per player.
