Help with a few things

[RealJustin]

Hello all,

To start out, I never played this game previously and just started a week ago. I currently have a lvl20/RR18 Zealot. I was able to make it to IC and find all of the gear vendors and trainers. The gear vendors is a little overwhelming because I have multiple types of currency and how you can trade them 5:1 for another type.

My main question is, how should gear progression look? What sets should I be trying to get as I level? What is the first set you usually aim for once level capped?

My secondary question is, does anybody have an up to date Zealot guide? I was able to find a few things on the forums but they were older and I am not sure if they are viable for where the game is now.

My tertiary question of least importance, is what is generally the best way to level? I have been doing a mix of questing, public quests, and BG's trying to keep my level and RR as close as possible. Eventually, I will get capped so this isn't that big of a deal.

Thanks!
