			not sure if there is or isn't a thread for this, but what are different ways to level up? my character is a level 17 aurin for exile, and Im starting to run into diff stories where my attackers are already at lvl 20 or above. Anyone got any ideas?

			You may have missed some tasks, or the quest might be scaled a little high for the story?  You can also jump into PvP to burn off a few levels.	
----
			how do I get into PVP mode?	
----
			
Go into the Group Finder (default 'N') and select 'Practice Grounds' in the drop-down list, select which battleground(s) you want to queue for then hit 'Join the Fight'.
 
In regards to being slightly underleveled for the zone you're questing in, that can usually be rectified by finishing up the previous zone before you move on.  :)

You can always check the status of your quests/tasks by pressing M to bring up your map. on the left hand side is a little button thing you can press to expand a menu showing you relevant details about the completion of the zone.
 
But an issue with the quest chains after you leave the capitol city is branching quest chains. If you are starting to be outlevled, i'd check the map for quests that send you in a different direction than the way you went. This was pretty annoying for me at first, but i'm sure it'll be ironed out eventually.

			Do you not have a house? You should have been logging off there and using the house board buff every day. It looks like this may be part of your issue. You must have missed some stuff though. Hunt all over the zone for things you've missed.

			Ive got like, 12 available missions all in Celestion... if I clear all those up, should that help me in leveling up?	
----
			
If you out level an area, though, and I mean get several levels above it, the xp gain from the effort will be disgustingly minimal. 
 
Most people suggest questing in areas +2 to you, it helps with the xp gain immensely. Perhaps stalker isn't your class. I've read some of your other posts, asking for help, and in this MMO skill matters. A lot. It isn't just button mashing or standing in one place; you need to have some degree of skill in movement and timing and thinking. 
 
Maybe join a good, friendly guild, where people can help you in the moment, especially if they can watch you play.

			well... I think my plan FOR NOW will be to finish up my available mission's both in Celstion and Galeras b4 I make my way back up to Whitevale. Just for now... to see if it helps any.

			PvP is also a nice, relaxing way to level in the 20s-early 30s. Just relax, hit things, and even if you lose you are still getting good exp.

Tad,
 
Iif you do every quest in each zone you level in you will never be that far below the quest level of the new zones.  As it was said, you prolly missed something.
 
Now that said, there are places in the game were the Devs are just OUT RIGHT SADISTIC and have mobs up to 5 levels above your level even though you may one or 2 levels above the quest ( Looking at you Whitevale and Farside ... ). 
 
But, in general you should be AT or one ABOVE the next zone by the time you finish the previous one.

Dass,
 
There is only one instance where it is truly a "situational awareness thing" because if you time it right you can get past the mob and into the "instanced area" ( exile quest in Whitevale).  ALL the others the agro range of our toons is so great that you pull the mobs when you are well away from them fighting others.  When you "get an add" that is 5 levels above you after you are engaged with 3 or more mobs ( that cave is ridiculous AND has a VERY QUICK respawn time ) it is just over the top. :P
 
So ... yeah ... thanks for playing but, you really don't know what I am speaking about. :P

*cupcake*that, I leave the zones asap so I'm 2-3 levels lower than the quests I get.  Skip 90% of the tasks and only do zone/regional/world story quests and the leveling process blows by.

Don't skip tasks then? That is what they are there for, so you don't leave the zone 2-3 levels under the next zone.

Here's what I do, grind/quest until about 2 levels below pvp bracket cap at which point I'll only bg until I reach the next pvp bracket, which is when I continue grinding/questing.
So, first one would be start bg at lvl12 (bracket is up to 14), next one you can start bg'ing aroung level 26 or so (bracket is up to 29) and so on. At  these low levels I've noticed that even a loss can yield half a level (if you're actually contributing to the match).
