An example would be something like this *See note 2
----------------------------------< Player stats >-----------------------------------
Stat Base Assigned Rewards Bonuses Artifacts Total Effective
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psyche 150 250 0 5 0 265 301

Lifeforce 150 122 0 5 0 405 238
Evasion 150 0 0 5 0 155 155
Regen 150 250 0 5 0 405 301

Section 3: NEWBIECHALLENGE *See note 3
In the newbiechallenge you have 3 main objectives:
Level: (1/75)
Deposited comms: (0/300)
Battle Participation: (0/25)
Your main focus should be getting your battle participation out of the way, as it is a challenge that requires you to get a spar once a day. Multiple duels will not count for this challenge and you can use the command COOLDOWNS to check when you are able to duel again. You may also get completion for this challenge by participating in COSMPIERCERS and ARENA EVENTS like FFA, or RAMPAGE. I would highly suggest anytime you see a FFA or a RAMPAGE that you hop onto it Immediately.
Your secondary focus should be getting to level 75, to achieve this goal You can follow the leveling area I put above, or you can have a friend help you level.
Your third focus should be getting the commodities, I put this as third focus as you dont want to spend time getting commodities that you can just buy with the marks you will get from leveling to 75 if it is going to eat up alot of your time you could be spending getting to level 75. Once at 75, you should look to complete this challenge either by collecting them in your ship or just buying them and depositing them to your faction. (I chose to just buy and deposit but its up to you.)
Section 4: NOTES
*Note 1: Level 30-40 Is quite terrible, Its probably the hardest gap in game. I would very highly suggest asking for someone of higher MIL(level) to party level with you at a place like New Dikimazi
*Note 2: The stats you see here are from my leveling of a nanoseer, for you I would suggest asking someone of your class what your main damage stat is and making an informed decision
*Note 3: There were some negative responses to the challenge at first, mostly such stating that it would be impossible to complete for a veteran let alone a newbie I wrote up this guide to dispel that thought.
Day 14 of the challenge for me, I had 10 duels left to do, with a total of 4days 12hours put in. this would mean If I were to have just put in roughly 3 hours and 30 min a day Id have achieved it within the 30 day requirement. Any day that you put in more time than 3 hours and 30 min is less days it will take you to complete the challenge. I completed this challenge while working 12 hour shifts and 46+ hours a week. This challenge should be easily doable for most people.
ENDING NOTE: Its a game, Have fun. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

I finished on my 14th day, I believe I was the third person to complete it. One thing I'll add, which I've told every person who's asked in game, is that quests can drastically speed up the leveling process, especially in the awful 30-40 range. Find quests that can be done quickly and are level appropriate, then do them pretty much every time they don't show up on COOLDOWNS. I'm about halfway to getting my sixth talent point at the time of this writing and I'd estimate that more than 2/3 of my post-75 xp is from quests rather than killing things.
But also, yes, definitely ask for help. Especially while the challenge is active, a lot of established players are giving away experience chips and/or taking low level characters hunting to help them out.
Addendum to Soza's Guide:
Orchids and Mechs are fair game though!
WOW SPOILERS! Let them go to the area and read the signs/be warned about it by the players to entertain the rp of the zone flip gosh!
