Just starting out

[Dodak]

This is more a question than anything. I'm just now checking out Red, only played on green a bit thus far. I made SK and figured I would run to the swamp I enjoy the zone and I can actually see lol. Anyway mobs seem far more fewer here than what I remember from long ago. Maybe my memory is off but i'm guessing I should truck it somewhere else to start grinding the xp? Any info/tips would help and thanks again.
