Go to the left side of the town first (they keep saying to go east which kinda suck) and start tracking the map using animal level.
The left side and the quest inside the town should get you to level 12. There are quite a lot of hidden quests too so sure for all of them.
Then you can stat doing graveyard stuff and other area around the town.
And if you have your gear updated, you can rekt everything around that with ease.
