Hello, after meeting some mentors in the game, some of them would ask my character to contact them regarding reviews. I understand that when mentors teach students skills, it gives them benefit. What about train levels? Obviously some of them believe there is benefit. What is the consensus?

Although they can do this already. It is not hard to find a teacher that can level your char.

There's no benefit to the student except having it free (And that doesn't mean much)

But, training a newbie in levels, along with spending time with them and training them in other skills (And some other secret rules that we don't get to know) increase your "secret mentor points," a hidden value for each character that gives you an extra stat train at the monthly reboot if it's high enough.

When you're new to the game and don't know how to make money well (or extremely frustrating, buying armor that you cannot in any way reasonably know is even superior to yours and having everything you buy stolen) free trains end up saving a lot of money from that perspective.

Exactly, so it's good for your mentor. Your mentor is giving you a hand, and in return you can give him a hand back ;)
