really, though, even at 2nd-4th lvl, if you get in a group of 4-6 people, that group can accomplish all of the low level quests if they're careful and help each other, not to mention allow you to explore much further. Keep in groups, unless you are crazy or your character doesn't mind death.
And the broken forest has always been notorious for being a camping ground. Seriously, doesn't it get boring killing the same, no-challenge creature for hours on end?
