The Criatura Academy is the new official novice area and tutorial. Below you will find a detailed guide for all the available quests; for a short video guide on how to do only what you need to, click here (thanks to salvaire and Llamacorn!).

The Start

Your new character starts in a room on a ship, following the navigation will lead you out of the portal. Once outside, you will see a Wounded Swordsman with a quest icon over his head. He tells you to find the captain without him.

Leave through the bottom portal to leave the ship, where you will find Captain Carocc, also with a quest icon above his head. Talk to him and he will tell you about a ship that will take you to Izlude, but first he gives you a quest to kill Porings to get lumber for the ship repairs. The lumber ends up in your inventory automatically after you kill a Poring.

Talk to Lumin to the left of him to get more information; he also tells you to walk into the portal in the south west to get off the island.

Find the sailor in the south west and talk to him, he gives you EXP and 5 Magnifier. After that, you can leave through the portal to get to Izlude. Once you leave the island, your save point will become Izlude.

Once in Izlude, talk to Captain Carocc. He tells you about the Criatura Academy, and gives you a quest to visit Hun. Go talk to Criatura Academy Staff (izlude 122, 207), who happens to be Hun. He teaches you about how to use Items, and gives you an Apple Juice to drink. Double-click the Apple Juice to drink it. For finishing his quest, he will give you 30 Novice Potion, 2 Free Ticket for Kafra Transportation, and 2 Free Ticket for Kafra Storage.

Next, talk to the Information Staff NPC next to Hun. He will ask you to play a game. He will mark three locations on your mini-map. Go and visit all of them! Click on the Bulletin Board at the location to activate quest dialog. Even though Lumin took all the treasures you were supposed to find, the Information Staff NPC will still give you some EXP, 20 Novice Potion, 20 Novice Fly Wing, 10 Novice Butterfly Wing, 2 Free Ticket for Kafra Transportation, and 1 Free Ticket for Kafra Storage.
