Lvl 18 rouge looking for advice

[Shartcabob]

Hello all! I am new to everquest p99. I started live during Biel of malaria and played a raid geared warrior for 5 years. This is all new to me. I've been sitting at lvl 18 rog for a long time now and struggling to find somewhere to level. I keep going to unrest but there is never a group and I find myself standing there for 3 hours on a list. I have 2 nice pokers and deal decent damage with full banded armor. Any advice for leveling from 18-25? I just feel unrest is too populated and the groups I have been in are high level players so I dont get much xp.
