Levels and Locations for Beginners | LOTRO

Howdy folks!
Welcome back to another beginners video. This video is to help you newer players find your way through the map and what to expect in each region you will eventually go to. Good luck and happy questing!

One bit of advice for new players especially on new accounts ( free accounts ) is so make sure and pick your first virtue from jump street and then do the kill deed quests in each of the zones you mentioned.The stats and effects you gain from virtues can vastly improve your ability to succeed in each successive zone. For free players this also gives the much needed LOTRO coins, which I would spend, personally, on bag space and vault space early on. The quality of life can't be over stated. After that I would get the 78% speed mount upgrade. Again, quality of life and it's account wide. I have found, again, personally, doing the deeds as you level makes much more sense as you get them when you need them and they actually mean something. Going back ( and I have done it this way, it sucked.... ) and doing them later feels like such a time suck when you're over-leveled for the area. It's hard to talk yourself into diligently doing them at later levels, especially when the rewards are so minimal compared to the gear you get. - Take care.

Lonely inn = Forsaken inn** Awesome video, much needed in the Lotro community. A lot of things to cover and nearly impossible to cover in one video alone.

Love these guides! I’m a returning player after years away and feel like a lost newbie. Really appreciate your work!

[@polycarpmedia7383]

I'm glad you are enjoying them and that they are of some help.

The answer is simple just do the main quests, like the book/chapters along them complete few extra deeds and side quests, and move on to the next main quest area and so on.

Nice guide mate. It deserves an update now as you can go to Cardolan and Swanfleet as well. Loads of stuff to do, great world to explore, months you can play and not discover all. Everyone who likes Tolkien should enter and venture there, no exceptions. Have fun!

Best guide i've found, thanks man!

[@drzooland8902]

Yes i remember the gloom i felt doing deeds and quests in Angmar. Felt like ive regained my breath when i finished and went back to bree or the shire

I usually level to 25 in western Lonelands, equip Tortoise Stone, then switch and do western North Downs, without starting Book 3. Then eastern Lonelands, leveling to 32, completing Book 2. That will let you do the Foreword to Book 3 and gain a stable connection to Candaith's camp near Weathertop. Then back to North Downs and complete Book 3, while staying 32 with the Tortoise Stone, then on to Evendim after that.

Gee I wish I had seen this video a year ago when I started.

great thank you

7:48 It's easier to go through the middle route. The west has drakes and the east orcs. The middle is just clear and less time travelling to.

[@polycarpmedia7383]

I was not aware of this middle route. I only saw the left and right routes

[@brodey525]

dude i started playing Echo of angmar, can you make a hardcore guide? THanks for the guide!

The game literally sends you a quest TELLING you where to go next....
