So I never really attempted to play this game, I started to try recently, and I need some advice on leveling.

Current level is 33, and I'm a page. What's the fastest way to level up, to say 40? (alone?) Stray from those abbreviations. You people kill me with them seeing that I never payed enough attention to them when Scott explained it all to me 2 years ago. ^.^; Also want to know a time range of how long you think it would take me if I did it using your advice.
