I am trying to follow some advice here and get my first few TR's out of the way... But I only get a few levels per day, where as some people I know play less than I do and just zip through the levels.

I was grouping with someone at level 4, see him on again, ask to group and he is level 21... In 2? maybe 3? days... DAFUQ.

Seriously, he is not even the only one... Seven out of 12-15 (ish) people I grouped with are already in their 20's, and it's been just a few days.

I was told to run some solo adventures but I get slaughtered in em. Help me, DDO Vault, you're my only hope.

1. Use credit card
2. buy DDO points
3. Buy ottos boxes
4. ?????
5. Profit

Alex,
Some people may be using naughty means to achieve it, but others can burn through the levels in days.
As 'Who Cares' suggested, try to find someone or group doing speed runs.
If you don't care about learning, just offer to stay out of the way.
Tips:

• Make sure you are running whatever XP buffs you have access to - Xp pots, Ship buffs, Voice of the master/Mantle of the Worldshaper, tome of learning etc.  It all helps.
• Get to the quests quickly - have DDO wiki up to assist.
• Don't linger in the quests - grab the chests you can and get out. Speed runs are intended to minimise wasted time.
• Some people will not mind - they're doing the content anyway, so they won't care as long as you don't hold them up.  If you get a player or group you don't like, just get out.

By all means be honest and say you're a "Newb" (don't say Noob!) and people will cut you some slack.

The other advice you have received in this thread is of dubious value, but up to you.   

Good luck!

join either a big or an active guild so you always have dudes to play with when you log on regardless of level.  or try to start up a static group specifically for a TR train.

This is a really good pace, don't spoil the game for yourself and have some fun on the way.
Do not become the sour old cunt i have become, do not dupe, do not exploit XP stones, this will ruin the game for you.

It still has some life, play it for the enjoyment

If you can find them on the old DDoooh forums or youtub . MR Cow had a great way to get from Lv 1 to Lv 20 really well . Sad to say that was 2 years ago when the Mother page was not what it is now .

Honestly the best way i have found to level . Is to get with like minded people that you can have fun .

Ni Hao was sadly back in the day when a raid group did not speak , but finished a quest in record time . Now more than ever . Its now why did you die ? are you not in a FLOM or why didn't you tr into the new Jerry model .

Which server do you play? There are also channels u could ask people to run shit together?
Personally i avoid pugging except when it is to break boredom or feel generous to offer free rides.
In my groups mostly i do not care as people above mentioned - IF you do not hinder me-.
I can understand a  "i can't find Chains of flame" quest question, but i'll get annoyed when some1 asks me where is WK, or what SC means at lvl 11...

All the extra boost for exp helps.

And although i think i am not runninng like a madman screaming xp per min xp per min i might skip optionals specially on levels 1-7 cause,
when the fucking base quest xp is 1-2k...a 5% will bring me 50-100 xp, fuck it,
i am not going to miss cap for 20 such quests meaning 1000-2000k xp when i reach 20...
my daily rolls will give me more if i am lucky, a single MM achievement will give me 10 like that ...
so i prefer to save 1 or 2mins per quest for not doing all breakables or do not save a stupid npc.

Last but not least, if u have not burned yourself with grinding yet, do NOT join such a group, it will speed things for you BUT :
a) you will become lazy
b) you will defer from the "fun" you had up till now
c) you might consider fun breaking ur previous completion time but its not the same
Value your enjoyment of the game as it is, take priority on that , and not how fast u can TR.
I would even go as far as say to not even use xp boosts if u haven't started yet, it's an addiction
Have fun and enjoy ur trip from 1 ->20(28)

This.

Do everything you can to avoid becoming this.

Why you want to lvl up faster?
Enjoy the game while you still can.
