(Let me first start off by saying that my character, Vicho, is a Talosian and is hated by a lot of people, but that is not what I'm talking about.
)
I would like to say, that I've been having some trouble with him. I stupidly underestimated the experience rate of Sundren (not complaining, I was just accustomed to the OC, lol) and thus I have not given Vicho any protective spells. He is a sorcerer, so he gets oh so few, and he desperately needs mage armor. I have been buying scrolls of it, which have helped dramatically, but it's not enough.
This is why I am trying to get him to level 5 as soon as possible. I want to get mage armor and shield for him, as well as ghostly visage; I want all of this ASAP.
My xp rate is now at 200%. You'd think I'd have no trouble, but...
Getting to the point: I can't seem to get Vicho to level 5. Like I said, he has poor defenses, and is vulnerable to all the mobs in Sundren. There is no place where he can solo enemies.
I am not complaining of this fact, I dislike "soloing" anything.
I've been told many times that I should just solo my way to level 5, but this is neither feasible or desirable for me. Whenever I've tried, Vicho dies and I get knocked back a few steps (usually, I lose the equivalent of a few hours worth of xp).
My question is: is it how I made him that's giving me a hard time? or is it the way I'm playing him?
I can't bring myself to give up on reaching a decent level of experience, because Vicho is supposed to be power-hungry and (to some degree) intimidating. Can't be awe-inspiring with level 1 spells and no self-defense.
Any comments or suggestions might help, thanks.

EDIT: From below:
I guess I'm just looking for suggestions. Was my character just poorly made? or is it a flaw in the way I play? Is grinding for experience a necessary part of the server?
