This came in from one of our newer RedGuides members. I'm posting it up, because not everyone thinks of little time-saving measures for alts such as "skipping the tutorial" ... you still spawn with pretty much all the free stuff that you were going to get in the tutorial.
What you do for some quick and fast leveling is when you start the game, do not take the tutoral, this is first.
Second, do all the possible quests that you need to to to get off the island , and ONLY those quests.
Third, after you finish just talk to the ambassador and get off the island as fast as you can.
Once your off you can finish up with your apartment/house and then all you have to do next is get outside of the town and start killing everything in sight. If you are a lvl 5 or 6 you can kill anything through 1 and 8, so don't worry. After around half an hour you would probably be up to lvl 9 or so, then just do all the possible quests there is. This should get you up to lvl 12, have fun with your lvl 12 guy or girl that only took you about an hour to get there
