Everything written below is shown in the video above.
Step 1: Travel to Ardeca and locate Aria.
If you cannot find the NPC:
Open the NPC Finder on the right side of the screen.
Search for Aria.
Click the NPC name to display its location on the map.

Speak with Aria and select:
[Exchange] Karonbell Emblem
[Exchange] Peony Snow Emblem

Equip the Karonbell Emblem I immediately.
The Snowflake Emblem I should be stored for future use, as its upgraded version becomes a valuable endgame item.
Step 2: Get Your First ~350,000 DIL
The next goal is obtaining approximately 350,000 DIL.
If other players are willing to help, obtaining starter DIL from them is the fastest option. Otherwise, you can farm it yourself in Mitera.
Locate the Closed Dimensional Door NPC and enter Mitera.

Setting Up Battle Support
Before farming, configure Battle Support, Dekaron's automated combat system.

Battle Support repeatedly uses skills placed in its configuration window.

Here is a complete setup on Battle Supporting + Holy Water if you are not familiar with this systems.

Recommended setup:

Meister Skills
Grand Meister Skills
Transup Skills
Strongest attack skills
A total of 10–15 skills should be enough. Players unfamiliar with their class skills should check out the class overview guides.
Farming in Mitera
Find a suitable spot with about ~5 or so monsters around you and activate Battle Support.
Dekaron Rising allows up to 3 clients simultaneously, make sure to utilize this whenever you can. Farming with one is also fine, but 3 characters 24/7 will always be better than one.
Continue farming until you obtain approximately 350,000 DIL.
This usually takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on whether you get killed, your spot, and the drop bonus for the day. Be aware that in AFK farming in Mitera, deaths are common.
Why 350,000 DIL?
The first thing we actually want to do is run Scream Cave [Dungeon] to get us to Level 230 after ~5 runs. Each run costs 500,000 DIL. If you can get a player to give you 3 million+ DIL at the start, it would be the best. As of the moment, the most reliable way to get good starter DIL is Elonohm, and Ruins of Rudene. The problem with Elonohm is it has a requirement of Level 231. Getting Level 231 with your first day right now is very difficult, so we go with Rudene instead. To enter this dungeon, you need 300,000 DIL. To get to the dungeon, you need to go to Valley Rift and you need 30,000 DIL for Makaio to teleport you. And ~20,000 DIL would be used to buy Return Scrolls so you can teleport back to Ardeca.
Step 3: Purchase Return Scrolls
Before leaving Ardeca, locate a merchant. Open your map and find the red boxes which corresponds to merchants.

Arenar is the official grocer for these consumables, but weapon merchants also sell them.

One tip, if the NPC looks like this, they should sell Return Scrolls.

Step 4: Enter Ruins of Rudene
Speak with Makaio in Ardeca.

Select: Teleport → Valley Rift.
Upon arrival, open the map. Travel to the portal labeled Dravice Town. Enter the portal. The actual map name is Dravice Village. Do not get confused if it's labeled Dravice Village, or Dravis Town in some cases.
In Dravice Village, proceed to: Ancient Presence [Dungeon]. There are two beginner dungeons available with this NPC. Ruins of Baz and Ruins of Rudene. Ruins of Baz drops Gniar's Stolen Scrolls, which we will use to upgrade our Meister and Grand Meister skills. Ruins of Rudene drops Seed of Dreams. We want Rudene because the North Path of this dungeon drops DIL at the end.
First, there are two versions of this dungeon. You cannot choose which one to go to, it is a direct 50/50 probability.
The South Entrance looks like this:

The North Entrance looks like this:

ONLY THE NORTH PATH GIVES DIL. So, we want to run this dungeon until we get the North Path, for our initial DIL supply.
Here is a video breakdown of this dungeon:

Step ASAP: Buy an Independent Necklace (50 Seed of Dreams)
As soon as you get 50 Seed of Dreams, you would want to get the Independent Necklace. If you got 50+ Seed of Dreams from Mitera, buy this as soon as you leave Mitera. If not, buy it after your first Ruins of Rudene run. Come to Rising Helion NPC in Ardeca and open the Seed of Dreams exchange.
This can be upgraded to be a very good PVE (Frozen) or PVP (Chaos) necklace in the future. Frozen is an endgame PVE necklace, while Chaos can be used from midgame to the endgame just fine.
This is what the starter necklace looks like and here are the stats.

Step 5: Enter Scream Cave
If you finished Ruins of Rudene (North) you should have more than 30 million DIL. You are ready to start leveling to 230. From Ardeca, teleport back to Valley Rift again via Makaio NPC. In Valley Rift, locate NPC Ydnak .

This NPC is very close to the teleport point in Valley Rift. If you open the map this is near the arrow that says Elonohm Shrine.
pic
Talk to the NPC Ydnak and enter Elonohm Shrine. In this map, locate Scream Cave [Dungeon].
pic
Run all the way to the entrance of this dungeon. Note that this dungeon is a Solo dungeon. If you have a party (which I assume you created from running Rudene), make sure to leave it first. This dungeon has a limit of 5 entries per day. To get an entry, talk to the portal and issue a ticket. This is a dungeon that you should run every day until you are Level 250.
Inside the dungeon, players receive a severe elemental resistance debuff. Early-game players can die very quickly. To survive, observe the incoming wave's element. Click the matching elemental statue. Receive the corresponding resistance buff. Dying inside the dungeon wastes the run and you lose a lot of EXP. Be alert!
There will be 3 waves of monsters that give good EXP. After this is done, you can proceed to the next room to kill the boss. But this is not really recommended as this can take a lot of time especially if you're new. You can relog after each run to save time.
Here is a video breakdown of this dungeon:

Step 6: Karin Freebies
At level 227, you are given 1000 Rank-Up coins via the freebie package. Take this to NPC Karin in Ardeca. Talk to her and select [Exchange] EXP/Rank Up Coins. Select Max and Exchange. This should put you to the New Guard title.
At level 230, you can complete a quest from NPC Karin called "Level 230 Achievement Achieved". Talk to her once you're level 230 to get one of the best Talisman in the game. You will be using this Talisman until the endgame.
If you followed everything in this Day 1 Guide, this is what your character should look like, Level 230, New Guard, and has the proper freebies equipped. This is what your equipped items should be:
