Hello and welcome,
My advice is to stay on newbie island and do as suggested, try out a few things, you may want to create several characters and try out various skills and migrate the one with the skills you want, or you can just do it on 1.
If you are looking for a small friendly guild that has not progressed to far yet, we are english/german/dutch speaking. You can contact our GM on discord : Kraayt#2557 (gernan)
Or myself DarklyNoon#5209 (dutch)
Some tips:
Newbie island skill cap is 200 points, mainland is 400 (without skills put into intellect to raise it)
One profession every guild is likely to accept is a player with alchemy skill leveled up to 60, this is for flux above all else (flux is used in many building projects) this is locked behind Farming, witch is behind Nature lore.
30 points in 1 skill will allow you to level a next skill of that line up to 29.9 60 in a skill is required to go further.
The following skills are best leveled in newbie island (the choice is yours ofc)
All 3 basic skills (Artisan, Nature lore and hunting)
Past this point:
Farming is easy to do in newbie island. NPC crops can be used for starter seeds and there is lots of free space to just plow and harvest you can feed yourself basic foods.
Herbalism (past farming) is totally doable on newbie to.
Forestry, good idea to do this on newbie island, as mentioned trees are at a premium in much of the main land In newbie island you can level it both faster and with less harassment or having to muck about with creating new Forrest terrain.
Animal lore, (past hunting) good idea to do it here because: mainland is larger, and animals are harder to track down, in newbie you can get your Animal lore to 60 in 1-2 days, harvest Q 1 eatable taproots from Q1 soil and look for pigs, aggressive animal tracks are best, search several times in a row and you should get prints that have little dots behind them. Reason for aggressive?> simple there are 3 aggressive animals, Bear, wolf and Boar. Boar can be tamed, bear and wolf can not. the tracks look utterly different so no mistaking them.
Passive animals there are 7 types of (Sheep, Pig, Horse, Cow, Deer, Moose, Hare, Grouse) so if you look for this, you might find all those other animals instead wasting your time tracking them down.
Low Q (1) food has a high fail chance, so you get many tries on a single animal.
Animal lore is part of hunting so you can fish to feed yoursef.
Artisan, Construction, mining,digging and materials preperation:
You could do some if not all of this solo on newbie, getting a feel for it is advisable but leveling high up with this is not to efficient on newbie island. (imho)
