Need necro help

[keglo]

I found the beginning of my necromancer career to be rather difficult. My desire was to create an Erudite necro, take a boat to Qeynos, and do my leveling there. I like to level around Qeynos because I am most familiar with that area, plus there are some really good quest (gnoll fang, rabid wolf/grizzly). The problem is every time I get off the boat, no matter how careful, I get killed. Can I now assume that those mentioned quest would not be doable by a necro? Can I assume the NPC's that you turn in the quest to would either kill me or refuse to let me participate in the quest? If so what would you guys suggest? Any areas with similar quest with similar exp?
