Which renewal server are you in? We have two renewal servers: Chaos, the main renewal server and a new server Thor, the pRO merged server/probably the SEA server. We in Thor follow the Philippine time. So if you're in Thor and used to follow Pacific time, it might be hard for you unless you really want to adopt to it.
1. Economy: Thor's economy is basically unstable at the moment. I cannot speak for Chaos tho but I heard their economy is by far better compared to Thor (w/c is indeed evident if you compare daily vend prices on Ragial). Leveling: New comers usually do bounty board quests located at Payon. You might want to check those. Also, if you read through this post (refer to original post), the OP indicated leveling spots corresponding to your level.
2. WPE & KP selling/buying for/through zeny is allowed, as far as I know. However, you really have to be careful in doing such transactions. I cannot elaborate in this cause I don't buy/sell WPEs/KPs.
3. As a starter, Eden Group provides quests for free gears. You can check them here. If you're planning to become a ranger, you may ask some good people to let you join in doing the Wandering Purple Dragon quest in Hazy Forest. Afterwards, you can do Mora daily quests and get Mora coins. You can exchange 10 Mora coins for White Wing equipment (I can give them to you for free if you're in Thor I can help you accomplish the Purple dragon quest as well.)
4. Take Necrohealiac's suggestion. You can learn more about VIP here.
Welcome and have fun!
