Vanguard 101 : Being Advanced

Every newcomer feeling. right?

I'm actually pretty new to this game, been playing from the release of Set 12 or so.
During my early days, it is so hard to find myself a good source of newbie guides to be an advanced players as fast as possible.
Not until i read V-Mundi's Vanguard 101 Articles. read it here.
While the whole article was a good read, REAL GOOD one at that. Some people doesn't have the time and hearts to read all of them.
So, i'm trying to compile everything I took from V-Mundi and mustering all my knowledge and past experiences for creating a simple, straightforward article to help everyone advancing themselves.
