I'm new to this game (fourth day to be exact)

I'm really trying to figure it out and at least get on a correct path.

I'm a Mage [lvl 17] I really enjoy PVE farming and would like to possibly do PVP

Is there any suggestions someone has for me

Example.

Type of Mage for said interestst

Good armor, if anyone wouldn't mind adding me in game possibly, that would be cool.

Show this rookie the ropes please!
