I recently updated the running list of quests and trade skills and could use some help gathering more information. Beta testing is now super easy as you can /beta copy a level 1 character over then beta buff them to 60 with max skills (even trade skills) and high end gear.
On top of this there are items to help you gate, summon corpses, and rez for free. There are also beta gnomes in NRo and Thurgadin that will teleport you to almost every zone in Velious.
If interested
please take a look at this thread and post with any information you have updates on.
