Level guide 1-20 (including 220 achievement point)
I hear a lot of players asking for levelling advice in [NPH] channel and allthough such guides exist on the net already i decided to make one as well.
My reson for doing this is that i have a hope that patch 5.0 will bring a lot of new (casual ftp players) and i want them to have a good time so they stay :)
Because there is no need to feel trapped forever in Tortage. If you just do the night time questline (Destiny quest) and a few more quest lines you will be out of Tortage before you know it at level 21, with 3 or 4 blue items and with 220 achievement points. Its all about optimising your time.

Level 1-6
After you wake up on the beach you go and kill all crokodiles, talk to Casilda, do her quest and the just follow the path and questline and kill everything in your way until you reach Tortage entrance.
Level 6-10

Get "pict Threat" quest from Laranga and go and speak to Tina at the thirsty dog inn.
Start Tortage night time (destiny) and do Awakening I
When you first go to White Sands Island to help Arias there's two Pict bosses, and one chest in/about the Pict camp near where you land. The first is at (445, 679) and there's a treasure chest nearby, just to the left of the hut's entrance. There are a bunch of pict minions around the camp fire in the center of the camp. Draw them out with ranged attacks or kite around the huts, so you can engage them with drawing the boss into the fray.
The other, named Elder Panther Pict Shaman, is outside the camp on the non-coast side around the area (491, 671).
It continues as Letter to the King I. Do that one too.
Level 10-15
Make sure to be level 10 before entering the Vulcano after talking to Arias
Clear the whole instance will get you to almost level 11,5.
Go back to Thirsty Dog Inn and get:

Do the quests "Pict Threat" and a "Brothers vengance" in Acheronian ruins and find the treasure chest (321, 200) in a hut close to Elder Shaman while you do that.
You are now headed back for the city but since this guide doesnt includ a quest in this area now might be the time to go the scenic route and do some panoramas and Treasure hunt:

Remember to Talk to Ninus on you way back from panorama. Run further up the track and keep to the left. If you have to kill a bunch of gorillas you are going in the right direction to the pirate camp.
