Don't worry so much on it, I was level 29 when I left out of the Priden area haha
If you like, skip Asee Teph, which is your next zone and head over to Eljune only to do its reputation quest (Icemirror Lake) for its gear and return back to Asee Teph to finish it up. You can also check resale tabs from vender NPCs around the zone areas for cheap goods to equip.
