Make sure you have done all the quests for both Stonefalls and Deshan. I was level 26 before I left Deshan. I managed to do every quest but one in Stonefalls and all of them in Deshan. You can check this by opening up your Journal and under Achievements got to Quests - then Ebonheart Pact - then to the area and it will tell you if you have done all the quests - I know there were 69 in Stonefalls.
Other than that be sure to hit the world bosses in each zone (the Skull and Crossbones on the map) and don't be afraid to ask for help in doing them - they are tough to solo even at a few levels higher than them. Run through all the dungeons (marked by torches on the maps) the public ones (which Deshan has several) have skyshards in them as well as an achievement for killing the boss in the dungeon. Now it is hard to get the boss at the moment because of the Bots that spam him when he pops - but all you need is one hit on him for the achievement to register. If you have trouble getting a hit - do a count between his spawns - and then a couple of seconds before his next spawn lay down an AE or start spamming your light attack at his location and 8/10 times you will get a hit.
Open all the treasure chests you find - if you don't like lockpicking - just take a moment or two and experiment - practice - and you should get it down. If you haven't accumulated lockpicks there are usually some in the guild bank or send me an in game mail (I.D. above) and I will send you some - I find them every where since I have a compulsion to open ever container in the world. Opening chests does give you exp.
Go on a rampage and kill all the undead and skeletons you see that are within you level. These are the only things I will go out of my way to semi grind. Why? It is just fun to kill zombies, ghouls, and skeletons - and it brings up your level in the Fighters guild which has some very usefull skills.
If you see a Daedric Anchor and players are doing it - jump in and help - just a few hits on some mobs gets you exp and the achievement for closing it - not to mention they are challenging unless there are tones of people there - and again brings up your level in the Fighter's Guild.
If someone is advertising that they are running the World Bosses in the zone - take them up on grouping with them and run them - if someone is looking to group for the Group Dungeons - take them up on it and run them.
The other thing I do is I kill everything that moves in front of me on my way from one quest to another. I seldom fast travel as I would miss the harvesting nodes, the mobs that drop me leather, treasure chests, and the other villains of the world.
I don't attempt to level fast but in just doing the beginner isle... (and if you didn't do it - you might want to. Yes, you are way over level but you can complete the quests quickly and get the exp for doing the quests not to mention the 3 skyshards on that island - which will also lead you to the next area and another 3 skyshards - and more quests that at your level you can just close your eyes and walk through. Will it be boring - only if you think of it like that - the stories behind them are all very good.) ... and doing the above things I listed I am usually well above the zones level - never behind them.
Also don't pass up on the main story line quests from the Prophet/Harborage - good exp and skill points.
Now, I have said a lot of things and maybe you are doing most of them - but I still put them down since I have no clue how you play. If you are doing all of this - then I have nothing to offer.
