I'm a noob, been playing for just a couple of weeks. I'm still doing the training missions but here is my tuppence worth.
I can recommend you get to grips with the stanza system. It makes for a more interesting and creative experience.
Also, have a go at all four disciplines. You don't need to level up in all of them, but some skill in each will help with the others when you are doing the training missions.
Check out what is available to buy, especially jewellery and armour. You will be given weapons as you progress through the fighting missions, but other weapons are available to buy. Armour helps, and jewellery gives you some protection against magic / melee damage.
When you find you don't need stuff anymore, just sell it back to the merchants.
Get the Life Gift / Heal Life skills, they can be used to heal other players and that's a) good for team missions and b) a good way of making friends.
By the way, if you are playing on a Mac, you will need to get yourself a 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel. The standard Mac mouse doesn't let you scroll down in a window to buy stuff or trade in your experience points, and there is no mouse/key combination to replicate the right button functions like POV zoom.
