Help for a wee one

I've got GW, not really given it a chance tbh ... think I'm still in the starting zone ... keep getting ganked really ... think I was a warrior/monk.
Kinda getting used to the idea that you need to kill certain mobs who will 'give up' a special skill or move ?
Am lv 5 or 6 I think, is there anything I need to make sure I have before I leave the starting zone, which I know I can do already if I talk to that chap ... thanks

make sure you've done all the skill quests for your two classes, and the skillpoint quest from devona. http://www.guildwiki.org/guildwars/index.php/Skill_Quests

You only get to 'capture' skills off mobs (a boss) later in the game. Normally you get skills by completing quests for someone. You get them AFTER completing the quest. The exception being in the training area, where you are given them BEFORE, and you get the XP on completion.

As Althorn says, do your class quests.

Also get the resurrection signet by partying with someone briefly.

These skills will cost you skill points later in the game if you have to buy them from a Skill Trainer. They are free if you get them from quests. Later in the game you will never have enough skill points, and you will have to get enough XP to loop round level 20 to get another skill point. So it is definitely worth getting the skills from quests.

Well I know this NOW!
