If you're only level 49 by the time you beat Molag Bal and move on to your Cadwell's Silver zones, you've definitely missed stuff. On every character I've played I've always hit VR1 about 1/3 of the way through Coldharbour, so I've always been either VR2 (since the XP per vet rank was reduced to 750K) or well on my way to VR2 by the time I've gotten to that point, and that's without ever grinding.

Having said that, it's not a big deal that you're not VR1 yet. As @tmathis says, level 50 = VR1, so you're almost there. I know that there are people who have started doing their Cadwell's Silver zones at level 45 (I don't think it's possible to do it any lower than that, as I don't think you can get the quest in the main questline any lower than level 45) and did fine.

On my second templar, I hit vr1 when I had a quest or two left in Cadwell's Silver. You'll be fine.

Right but I'm not vet yet. I think I should clear Coldharbor and level up to vet before I continue with Caldwell.

You don't really need to if you don't want to. I always do, but that's because I'm a bit of a completionist and I like to make sure that all of my characters do everything.

If you're actually interested in playing all of Coldharbour and doing all there is to do there, however, by all means do it. It's fun! At least, I think it is.

I guess all I'm saying is that if you're going to go back and do stuff that you missed, do it because you want to, not because you feel like you have to.

No I do want to. I am also kind of a completionist too. I also am still trying to level up my Magee guild to level 6 to get fire rune so I have to find more lore books. I really love pvp as well but told myself I'm not going back (at that time I was level 16) until level 50 because I wanted to develop my character better. But yeah I'm probably gonna go back and clear Coldharbor. Try to level up more skills.

In that case, yes you should definitely do it. It's fun, and there are some interesting stories and characters around there. I particularly recommend doing all of the world bosses in Coldharbour - somewhere on the ground near each of them is a book written by Cadwell about that particular boss. I think they're all called something along the lines of "Notable Coldharbour Natives Vol X", and they're a fun read.

If your Mages Guild is only at 6 after getting to that point, then it means that you've missed quite a few lorebooks (which is super easy to do if you're not following a guide that shows you where they are - even if you're completing all of the content you can very very easily miss lorebooks). I think you can get as high as Mages Guild 8 or 9 before finishing Coldharbour, but that might require grabbing lorebooks from Cyrodiil as well.

If you're on PC I'd recommend getting a lorebook addon and going back to each of the zones you've completed to find the lorebooks you've missed. If you're on console, I'd recommend googling lorebook maps and then doing the same.

If you really want to make sure you've completed everything then check your achievements. The _____ Adventurer achievements that you get for completing a certain number of quests in a zone are a good guideline to see if you've likely completed all the quests there, but it's worth noting that depending on the zone you can get the achievement when there are still as many as 5 or 6 quests in the zone that you haven't yet completed, so don't think that you've necessarily done all of them just because you have the achievement.

The Daedric Anchor achievements are a good way to tell if you've completed all of those. Check to see if you've got the achievement for completing all of the anchors in your home alliance: if you don't, it will tell you which ones you're missing. There are 3 in each full zone (none in the starter zones), so if you check out your zone maps and only see 1 or 2 completed in that zone, then you know you've missed an anchor or two.

The Cave Delver and Pathfinder achievements will tell you if you've completed all of the delves in a zone, and if you've discovered all of the points of interest in a zone, respectively. If you've got the Master Explorer achievement for your alliance, then you know that you've got all of the individual Cave Delver and Pathfinder achievements.
