where can low level players level at?
Your starter zone, or any other race’s starter zone. The game leads you from zone to zone for your correct level.
The area where the tutorial dumps you out at is your newbie zone. The first area you enter from any of the racial cities also is a starter zone.
Plus, if you open your world map and zoom all the way out, it will list level ranges over every zone.

just follow the hearts, and do dynamic events and try talking named npcs, they often start events.
Killing mobs is the slowest way to level. Go from heart to heart and catch as many events as you can, when they spawn near you. In fact, drop everything to catch an active event. Those hearts will still be there when you’re finished. Also, make sure you always have gathering tools equipped. Gathering from nodes along the way will also give you XP, as well as mats that you can use for crafting (for still more XP), or you can sell them to start accumulating some wealth. Finally, you can do your personal story missions as you level up to them. They grant excellent XP as well. And there are five starting zones. You can do this in each of them.
All of these things together will let you level at a good clip. Grinding on mobs will not. You generally only do that if you need crafting materials because the XP isn’t really worthwhile.
