Sid's Quick Guide to.... Levelling

Ok this is a rough guide to which areas to go to for levelling. Depending on your play style you may reach these areas at a higher or lower level than this guide shows, especially below level 30, but if you're not sure where to go for quests, this should help a little.

There is also an overlap between many of the quest areas so that you will be flicking between them, especially in the 30 - 35 level range.

Couple of general things that will help you level and develop your character:

Deeds
Deeds are separate to quests (although some deeds are to complete x quests in an area) and give unique titles and traits. I'll do a "Sid's Quick Guide to Deeds" at a later point, but doing on-level deeds will help xp gain and building your characters abilities through traits. I'll do a "Sid's Quick Guide to Traits" also at a later point.

"Glowy Objects"
As well as quests from NPCs certain objects appear "glowy" in the game world landscape. Some start off deeds (see above) such as "ruins of x area" and some start off quests so keep your eyes peeled for these.

So onto the levelling guide by level and region.
Level 1-15 - Starter Areas

Starting regions:

• Humans: Archet / Combe / Staddle (in Breeland)
• Elves: Celondim / Duillond / Gondamon (in Ered Luin)
• Dwarves: Thorin's Gate / Nogland / Gondamon (in Ered Luin)
• Hobbits: Michel Delving / Hobbiton / Overhill / Brockenborings (in The Shire)

Level 15-17- Breeland
Quests in this area are all reasonably close together and you will probably have quests from more than one of the quest hubs simultaneously.

• Bree town quests - Andrath / Southern Bree Fields
• Adso's camp (29s 56.8w) - Southern Bree Fields & Northern Old Forest
• Buckland/Newbury (33.3s 62.4w) - South & West Old Forest
• Falco's Folly (26s 53.9w) - Northern Bree Fields
• Epic - BOOK 1

Level 17-20 Barrow Downs / Forsaken Inn

Barrow Downs

• Old Barrows Road Camp (32.1s 56.6w) - Barrow Downs
• Wandering Shade (near Dead Spire 32.1s 55.1w) - Barrow Downs

Forsaken Inn (Lone-Lands)
Take the road out of the South Bree gate and head East on it, scouting to the South of the Midgewater Marshes, until you enter the Lone-Lands and come to the Foresaken Inn.

• Foresaken Inn (34s 40.7w) - Western Lone-Lands, Midgewater Pass, Weathertop, Minas Eriol

Level 20-25 Lone-Lands / North Downs

Continuing by moving Eastwards from the Foresaken Inn in the Lone-Lands.

• Eglain Camp (34.4s 36w) - Central Lone-Lands / Ost Cyrn
• NEW Dungeon (name to be confirmed) (32.8s 33.0w)
• Ost Guruth (31.3s 29.6w) - Central / Northern Lone-Lands ( Amon Ros, Naerost)

At this point you will probably have picked up a few higher level Lone-Lands quests in your quest log but it is probably worth taking a trip over to Trestlebridge in the South-Western North Downs (North of Breeland).

You'll find yourself completing quests from Trestlebridge in an area known as The Greenway and there are some fellowship quests in Nan-Wathren that the adventurous might try and get a group together for.

A couple of quests from Mincham's camp will take you into the Fields of Fornost also.

Western North Downs

• Trestlebridge (18.3s 53.8w) - The Greenway
• Mattie Woodruff's Camp (14.6s 54.5w) - The Greenway
• Mincham's Camp (13.1s 55.3w) - Fields of Fornost
