Google as much as you can about guides and whatnot. Definitely used the DFO Subreddit to ask questions that you can't find out yourself; it's at least far better than DFOSource, given the bad apples that sh'itposted here many months ago. The other DFO forums can work too, but I don't know how "qualitative" they are since I'm very sure many ex-DFOSource people are on each of those forums.
Git gud; you only get 3 free tokens a day, so you eventually learn to play carefully or efficiently. On top of getting gud, there should be Practice Mode for each dungeon. Use that to your advantage if you want to test and see if you can clear the place; consumable items are unlimited there, which lets you goof around as well.
Save up potions, but don't be too stingy with them. You don't want to die just because you didn't want to use your 1-3 of your 1,000 Expert HP Potions.
Auction House is your best friend. I can guarantee the overwhelming majority of stuff sold and bought will be in here.
Not sure what class to play? Find Youtube videos to see how they work. Do take note if the character has godly gear, since that may skew your views of the class. However, it still helps to see what sort of high-end stuff your class can do.
Thanks to the free SP resets, play what you want, how you want it. BUT, do know that as you experiment you'll eventually find an optimal build. Also if you plan to do the Outerverse stuff, you may need to switch to a more cookie cutter build depending on who you play. OVs are rather gimmicky, so small things like having an extra skill or switching skill levels around may make things much easier.
Don't trust Kiri with your money (aka the Female Gunner NPC who can upgrade your gear). At best, get +10 weapons/armor/accessories from her, and purchase stronger ones from others. If you upgrade past +10, there's always that chance your equipment simply gets destroyed with no chance of recovery (so think Enhancement scrolls before the latest changes to make it more bearable). If you hate that feeling of losing all your money when you gamble, you'd want to avoid Kiri like ebola. She's a gold black hole, period.
Profession wise, always have an Alchemist and a Disassembler; 1st is essential to make your own potions, and the 2nd lets you always have someone able to shred up those white/blue gear. Doll Makers and Enchanters are nice too, but they're more of a gold sink before they even start paying off.
There are level 20 (IIRC) dailies where you can get quick and easy alchemy materials. Do em, and keep track of which materials sell the most. You'll make a lot of your money that way just by selling them on the AH.
But overall, have fun and don't get too mad at the game. There's the correlation that when you get too mad/angry at a game you begin going on tilt and sucking even more, which becomes a cycle of suffering. Play another character or on an easier dungeon difficulty if that helps. Otherwise, just come back to the game when you're more calm.

Hope it takes off, man!
