To be truthful, you need a good group. More importantly, a good group leader.

FU!

Epics are pretty simple.
We zerged thru von1 last night in about 15 mins.

Here is some advice:
Finish crafting, incuding DT and make sure those items are in the plans for your next/next,next lives 

After you have finished crafting then you will be ready for TR but not one day sooner.
Big lesson learned when I TR'd Teresi.
I would have given anything for her earth morningstar at lvl 12.
If you have favor items like yugo pots, buy a TON of them before you TR.
Make sure you have all the necessary gear for leveling already banked. (stat items/WEAPwNS!!!)

Now youre ready to farm epics for TR.
3-4 days later *DING*

The grind isnt that bad but there is some content that makes leveling very very simple.
I dont even bother with Korthos, it's a horrid place full of newbs that will only cause you grief.
Run for the bracers 2-3 times, they will save on expenses for cure pots/wands to lvl 5-6 and will also save the day for an unfortunate incap which can also save your XP.
Directly to harbor all quests thru elite except kobold assault.
Skip the solos and baudry chain.
Hold irestone til lvl 4-5 if at all.
Farm:
Info is key
Ringleader
Youll be close to lvl 4 and it will be time to run WW norm/hard.
Skip all of market except STK normal.
If you see a lfm for necro1, get on it.
Back/forth between STK/Tangleroot n/h.
Deleras and other house j/p quests can be soloed thru hard and you should now have house p buffs.
Farm the snot out of Tear of D/Gwylans/SC and explorers sorrowdusk when no group.

You play alot Pala, you should be able to achieve all of those goals and lvl 7-8 in a few days time.
I plan to TR Snufalufugus but not for at least a month.
That should give you plenty of time to farm tokens and sort out your crafting.
Now, convince Emili to come TR with me, I dread doing a second TR in pugs....*ugh* 

Slink,

What do you think of some of sharn syndicate. The name escapes me right now, but the save the tavern one is a good xp farm at low level, if you own the pack.

I suppose the big thing I need to do is figure out what I want to TR into, and what items I am going to want for that build. My biggest wall in the whole thing is my altoholism. IO need to focus on Pala and get everything done. Of course only having 1 raiding character makes it take a touch longer to farm.

I'll take a guess.  Back in the day I thought it was the lighthouse library quest but that was before vet status.

I am going to TR Gornn.

See this would make low-level stuff so much better for me; find a group I know and farm/zerg the shit out of stuff.

Awnoo!

I dont know if I could stand all the LOLz but would be my pleasure to run with any of you ppl.

Emi has been teaching me about buttons.

Bring a caster... haste, firewall, stand on ledges.  It becomes a snoozefest rather quickly 

For most of the epics with living mobs (if you don't care about scroll drops) you can get a bard with nice dcs to fascinate almost all the mobs that you then kill one at a time.

Mass hold also works nicely.

If your divines/arcanes have never done epics before it's a good idea to bring extra pots to give them if you intend to complete. . .they tend to overestimate their abilities and underestimate mob hps (the divines usually are fine about saving mana until the arcane runs out of hps then everything turns from 0-clusterfuck in 1.8 seconds)
