Am I doing something wrong?

I've played about 20 hours since 5 day early access started and am only level 10. I feel like I am always staying busy questing or crafting when I am online I am in Dominion and now I have been struggling to find quests in Auridon. I see other people that are already level 50...what am I missing here? Is there a faster way to level than questing? Am I doing it wrong?
Savvy?

mutharex✭✭✭✭✭If you are having fun, you aren't doing anything wrong.
Actually, most people are leveling at your rate (the normal).5 -
Trouvo✭✭✭They are level 50 from exploits....or they have been playing nonstop in PVP and have been able to repeat the repeatable quests at an extremely fast rate or something else.
Regardless, there is nothing wrong with what you are doing, what is important is that you are enjoying what you are doingBloodline|RP Guild|Ebonheart Pact6 -
Hawke✭✭✭✭The ones who hit level 50 were doing something wrong.
Your timeline and level sound about right. Don't worry about it. This is a slower leveling game, but fear not! You still PvP at level 50, so all is well.5 -
Stautmeister✭✭✭Played around 20 hours and level 24. However, i did the first 2 zones in beta and thus rushed through it a bit

Shimond✭✭✭✭No you're not doing anything wrong. I've been playing since Sunday and haven't hit 10 yet (I keep creating new characters - it's a sickness I swear).4 -

✭✭✭✭Im assuming the reason for time compared to leveling is more to do with the travel involved with each quest/relogging to get balreth to WORK RIGHT! and maybe a bit of sight seeing...

You'll soon be seeing complaints from the level 50s that they are bored because they're out of things to do. These are people who blew through content one way or another, and players who do this appear in every new MMO. No worries, if you are having fun, you're doing it the right way.3 -

Balreth works, it's that you need to bring it down quickly (possibly before it bathes at least once) or it will bug out. If you doing it with 1 or 2 mates, it's easy and doesn't bug out2 -
mutharex✭✭✭✭✭@Shimond altitus is REAL! I have it too.
But if you read through all the text it will take you longer, naturally. Plus there is crafting, gathering of materials, etc.
I keep on getting lost and forgetting what I was meant to be doing, like "Didn't I setup one hour ago to go to Ash Mountain?? So what the hell am I doing... here??". I just see something and have to go explore it...2 -

Actually the problem wasnt bringing him down, it was that the npc had been knocked down or otherwise somehow left combat, if you do not kill him until you make sure the npc is attacking him on that last hit it will work.Bloodline|RP Guild|Ebonheart Pact1 -
Gedalya✭✭✭✭✭Play as you are comfortable playing and don't feel pressured by the perception of progress made by others; as long as you are enjoying the game your doing it right.
Also, as some people have noted, those who are level 50 likely are not playing in a fashion that the average player will enjoy.
I personally look forward to exploration and questing.2 -

No, if you took too long to kill it, at the end the NPC would disappear and the Essence wouldn't appear. If you killed it quickly, that didn't pass (NPC wouldn't despawn etc etc)1 -

✭The only thing you are doing wrong is letting others control how you play or make you feel guilty for not racing to max level.Power level to CP160 in a week:
Where is the end game? You just played it.
Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
Where is new content? Sigh.1 -
S1D3FX✭✭@illogicbh There is no way one could enjoy the depth of the storyline and be lvl 50 already. They're missing out on what makes the ES games great! (IMHO)
I really wish there was a way to collect all the little notes and books you can find laying around. A library was a must have for my homes in Skyrim.
Anyway, those guys who are 50 now are the ones who will have no idea who or what they are fighting in the end game or the back-story to explain it. Where is the fun in that?!
But, to each their own I suppose...0 -
Frosthawk✭✭✭I did also Domionions two first islands in beta and yet i have re-started gaming twice on this Early acces time due too fast moving forward in story, some how lvl gaining seems to be much faster than it was in betas, maybe too fast.EU - Adlmeri Dominion

Censorious✭✭✭✭I agree, it does feel glacially slow.
It's not helped by the bugged quests and the fact that you get nothing until you complete. so if you do have to abandon a quest, it's a complete write-off.
The short XP_bar makes it look like nothing is happening too, it hardly moves.
But what the heck - its probably as fast as any other game to end-game. There are only 50 levels.
And yes, There have been reports of an exploit that people have been using to level. Dumb!'Clever' sigs get old real fast - just like this one.0 -
Kyosji✭✭✭If you played the beta and know what to do and where to go and have friends to group with to make the quests go by faster, it's easy to hit 50. I played 2-3 hours last night and got to level 10. I'm not even using the exp ring.0 -

ok both then, because I didnt pay enough attention when it completely bugged before trying new things, and just bursting him down it still bugged, but making sure the npc was in combat and bursting him down caused it to work

pema✭✭✭after the first isle(the big one) you have several area's that you can explore. I'm lvl 12 now and havn't finished auridon. All in good time and good fun.
you can kill a lot of enemies then lvl fast go to cyrodill fast and do all you can do to get the most XP. but like others say, is that what you want?

As has been said, who is to say what is right and wrong in this game? Its an open world... if you are getting your moneys worth (to yourself), then there is no greater worth. To some people that is "crushing content" and speed leveling to reach "end game".... I dont' understand it, but its what makes them happy.
For others (people like me), its taking my time, enjoying the stories, and exploring this amazing world.. soaking up each and every detail.
If you want to level faster, do quests. Mob grinding doesn't do much for you. If you don't care, then keep playing the game the way that makes you happy and don't worry about everyone else. I have a level 9 and a level 7 since Sunday... and i'm perfectly happy for it.1 -
Kivos✭The Beauty of a game like ESO is you get to play your way! don't worry about what level others are if you are enjoying your time in Tamriel than you are winning!0

So...Balreth DOESNT WORK! This is called a bug.
