Befallen is a great place to cut your teeth if you want to experience classic EverQuest. Between avoiding the ghoul/Gynok PH and dealing with 4 spawns of necro + pet you will never be bored. Zone experience modifier (ZEM) is amazing, best in game.

Upper Guk also has a huge ZEM and you can do most of the entrance at your level. Less difficult than Befallen. Some OK loots here too, small gems and mesh armor. Buy/sell at Grobb nearby.

Warrens and Kerra Isle are decent spots too, lower ZEM, but the Warrens gives you faction with both good and evil Erudites along with the best cash for low levels, and Kerra provides uncontested killing with all the milk and fish you can drink and eat. Should be able to eventually hail the lawn guards in Paineel zone for keys to the heretic city and do your shopping and banking there, presuming you kill enough Warrens kobolds. You can turn in some kobold molars for a little XP and faction down there as well.

Blackburrow probably has the largest number of mobs in your level range, but it's a long walk from Nektulos (or from the Karanas if you can snag a port), and you won't be able to turn in the fangs without some help. Killing there will help your faction with the various Qeynos guards in the Karana areas, and the XP for turning in the fangs is very good if you can find someone to help you out with harmony and such.

Avoiding Crushbone is a good idea if you are a dark elf. No sense going out there and ruining your Indigo Brotherhood faction for basically nothing. The XP is good per mob, but it's almost always crowded as hell. Also Faydwer isn't a very friendly continent for a newbie dark elf.

Orc camps in East Commonlands are always an option too if you want to play it safe, get buffs from EC tunnelquesters and go out swinging, and it's close to Neriak. But that gets boring fast imo. That's the only outdoor camp I'd even consider at your level, btw.
