Curious to see someone else try this at the same time as me. I recommend you go to the farmlands, Poor Quarter and Verdistis next, you can get a lot of experience from quests without many fights. I also recommend you use a bow.
I finished it yesterday but had to do some experience points farming in order to beat Josephina in the Elven burial ground, I couldn't defeat her around level 24, managed it at level 28. As a result I was level 35 when I finished it. I'll update the thread in the next few days. It did not take me that long to finish it though.
Hmm I'll try and find someone who sells a bow as well :S haven't met anyone who actually trades anything interesting yet : P
