I havent done much quests since much of them are pickup quests or loot quests.

This is why it seems slow. Grinding is inefficient IMO because if you're going to grind, you might as well do the collection quests. I do every quest I can that isn't a collection (and a few that are if its only a few drops each). I started 3 orc shams, hit 32 with 20 hours played and 0 boosting so far. Just quest, quest quest. Lots of easy quests, if you're seeing an area with a ton of collections, try a different zone.
