Just hit CP160 - some questions

Are lorebooks and dolmens (and killing daedric) the only way to level those guilds? Are there ways to level those up faster?

I'm not aware of any faster ways

I keep seeing people asking for pledges. What is the difference between pledges and random daily dungeons (through queue)?

Daily dungeons reward Undaunted Supplies which include soul gems and Endurance / Agility / Willpower pieces. Pledges reward keys to open undaunted chests which contain Monster set shoulders.

Are there different pledges for normal and vet?

Pledges are for the dungeon. Normal / vet refers to the difficulty. Completing the hard mode challenge for a veteran pledge dungeon gives you 2 keys instead of 1.

I looked up some builds and geared up a bit (all purp gear - Twice born, and some other set for weps and jewelry). How should I go about gearing towards better gear?

It's really simple. Step 1: figure out what gear you want. Step 2: figure out where that gear comes from. Step 3: go get it. You are asking about step 3 but I don't think you have figured out step 1 yet. That depends on what your goals are.

What level should I start trying to do MA? I'm doing about 15k dps right now without the fighter and mages guild skills.

You can try whenever you want.

Do certain items become account/character-bound once you put them on or was I doing something wrong?

That's literally what Bind on Equip means. And yes, crafted items all have the bind on equip text on them somewhere. Well, the pieces you already put on are simply "Bound" now.
