To my knowledge, there are only two quests someone who lives outside of Sanctuary can take as a solo for regaining levels after a drop to 4 and below (that doesn't have a take limit). The leech quest and Ibranduls, which give mediocre XP. I suppose you can "do rats" but those rats are tough as balls and can easily swarm and kill someone. Not to mention how mindnumbingly boring it is.
The grind from level 2 to a sustainable level is already an enormous contributing factor to player burn out; there's honest to god no reason this should be something that becomes IMPOSSIBLE if you don't live in the frankly boring and uninspired main hub.
Add more quests without limits or make the XP tick far better than a measly 40 xp per. One hundred and fifty or 200 is far more reasonable.
There's also Machine Salvage, Puzzle Chamber, Twisting Tunnels, Trams, Dead Bodies in the Waters, Exploring the Dark and several others that I can think of...

I'm also interested in what these several others ones you can think of but didn't list are.
I have been in Lower and gone from 5-2 multiple times this week and I would seek to have the take limit removed for some quests and to increase the XP they give.
There are not many people on at the same time in Lower (due to popularity thing) so the lock is not needed. Though I believe may be for Upper PCs who leave city for the quest but correct me if I am wrong. I would want to see Watch PCs punish and charge PCs going into lower rather than lock the quests.
Maybe lock some quests to be done only by non ringscabs. Whoever agreed to get a ring would trigger a dialogue that would block them from doing some lowbie quests of Lower.
Because, yes. Who starts in Upper usually has access to all Upper quests added to most other lowbie quests that are available.

Contact a DM if you have a legitimate need for your quest takes to be reset, and as many times as you need to. They will sympathize.
The limits are in place to prevent characters from deliberately staying beneath level 5 as a way of becoming obscenely rich... then entering the stage out of nowhere.

The Garbage Pit, the Mycopolis deliveries, Rubin, the Complaining Cabot... assorted rothe-related activities...
...shark-wrestling, if you're damn clever...

As someone who has before achieved level 4 from
nothing but the advancement system, that is an obscene rate of experience gain that would trivialize the idea of there even being levels in that range. One might as well raise the minimum experience points if that's considered.

Except for Rubin and Cabot, which give attrocious amounts of XP - these require more resources getting to than they're worth.
Getting from 2 to 4 SHOULD be trivial.
There are three repeatable soloable(non-delivery) quests in Lower. Two more just outside. A few more limited take quests. Then a shit ton of low level group quests outside sanctuary. I'd rather see some more plots and events than more solo quests :)
