Newbie lv 22 stuck vs. storyline mob lv 24, some quick tips please?

EDIT: Problem fixed by spamming the lv 20 dungeon!

Ok, please help a noob out, ideally with hints&ideas so I can fix this generally.

Level 22 cannoneer on a free account. Probably bad gear, 20 blue/green. I know how to kite and kill normal silver mobs, I may take my time but I'll get there. Now this quest boss, Lvl 24 Pelo, is among fast respawning mobs in a very full map, so I can't kite it properly, I end up drawing half the map and then die to the ranged mobs. That quest mob is unkillable for me, so I can't continue the quest line. I've also idled at the spot for literally hours hoping that somebody mightier who follows the questline might arrive, but nobody came. My inventory is full of better level 24/25 gear that dropped from the current area, but obviously I can't make use of that. I thought of becoming level 24 by some other means, but killing mobs for xp is really slow and the level 20 dungeon isn't done by a lot of people, I find maybe 1 party/day.

What do I do? What do I miss?

If only the respawn timer wasn't so fast ...

Can you solo the dungeon? That's what I did for a while until I got the full set. If you want to level with me, I'm around level 34, but I won't be playing until Sunday/Monday.

Yup, that's possible. Figure I can spam that dungeon 11 times and reach the zones level. Thanks!

Try asking in zone chat, or join an active guild and ask for help

The game really demands that you gather up tons of mobs into a group and THEN kill them all at once to not only build your Devilian Meter significantly faster but also get 'bonus' XP.

Also their subscription 'Patron' status provides an XP boost that would seem 'normal' to most people. Free accounts get reduced XP.

Grab a guild before you hit Level 25 since every level gained after 25 gives them Guild XP which they need to level up and provide more perks to their members. Every guild should want to get in some Level 20ish lowbies :)

Hey thanks for the feedback!

I specifically did not buy anything from them to avoid the bonus at the start of the game. I've had bad experiences in other MMOs with these boni, which made levelling waaaay to easy and boring. Like you're suddendly skipping whole zones because they're no longer in level range or you have to pointlessly grind through quests to get the zones done, while having no challenges at all. E.g. like WoW not giving me any quests because I'm "too low level" or like Tera where you're always 2 levels too high for the zone. Apparently this is not the case for Devillian at all? Then I'll go and buy some inventory slots.

I'll check guilds, I don't know how to find one or join one yet.

Thanks!
