and when you finish aleroth, take a good run AROUND Aleroth, the orcs you'll find there should be relatively easy but very good for exp. points.

Also try to get level 35 strength asap, this will enable you to start carrying better weapons with (a lot) more damage (for your level). It will make things so much easier, you can rebalance afterwards in other stats.

Oh and yes, try chicken meat, gives you mana, and normal meat from the rabbits hopping around, restore vitality (full life bar restoration in the beginning)
Get the teleport asap.You will get one of two, once you opened the gate to the catacombs. Go fetch the other teleport first by teleporting yourself to the other missing teleport. Be warned of multiple enemies upon arrival. Put one teleport near your bed, and one in your stash. When u run out of life or mana zap yourself to your bed to take a nap (this will give you full life/mana.
Your room is found in a basement of one of the houses in Aleroth (the house where you start the game). Feel free to decorate your room with plants, pots and especially gems; it's gives a beautifull glow and is a lot of fun to do.

Oh and yes, the zombie that helps you in the catacombs, get rid of it asap (by surfacing back in the village)
Why ? the enemies it kills do not add to Your Experience! which is pretty important when you start. Each Kill Matters!
