OOO mod, any advice for starter dungeons or raising skills?

[Smolgen]

I just recently installed OOO and I love everything about it. Only thing is I'm a bit at a loss for where to go. I can't really find any guides for starting out and early dungeons that can maybe help me raise my skills a little. Honestly, I'd just like to know what areas are best for getting me started until I'm able to better manage myself. Or if there are none, anyone care to share how they started out and managed to level their characters? I know skill gains are slower than vanilla, but it doesn't feel like I'm really progressing at all. Any help would be great.
