How should I Level Up and Get More Powerful Items in Realm of the Mad God?

I am level 16, and I want to level up faster by getting closer to the middle of my map. How can I tell the direction to the middle and the godlands, and what is the best way for me to get better items? Right now all of my gear is trash. I would appreciate your help greatly.
Thanks!

I'd simply reccomend looking on your map for yellow dots in the vague direction away from the beach. Once hovering over that if theres a cluster of lvl 20s, just teleport. If your trying to not teleport for fame bonus just walk away from the beach and follow class quests.

Knights are the single best all-around eventer in the realm, eminently capable of taking on all the event bosses and killing them whether solo or in a group. Their stun makes them the most versatile melee class, giving them both the ability to stop a large enemy from firing and to decimate small mobs.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
