For levels 32-40, your choices for new zones are Evendim and Trollshaws. This level range is typically the toughest in LOTRO, so make sure you get the most out of North Downs and the Garth Agarwen instance cluster in Lone-lands too. You are going to need to do considerable switching between zones to keep leveling. Skirmish through the rough spots.
As before, you will want to complete all quests and deeds in content packs you own. Be sure to do the level 30 Gift Box quests, Volume I Books 3 & 4 and the intro rep quests. Run Garth Agarwen and Fornost if you own the associated quest pack.
*Includes the higher level Annuminas deeds.
Your first opportunity to work on legendary traits comes at level 39 and starts with your class trainer. See Earning Your Legendary Traits for details.
*The Sage of Eriador next to the Reflecting Pool offers a repeatable quest paying a Mark of Triumph, used to barter for level 50 armor sets.

New Options for Character Improvement
Legendary Traits are a key component in your character's "builds" at higher levels. These traits can give class-defining abilities, such as Champion's Raging Blade or Minstrel's Fellowship's Heart. While some may be more useful than others, earning all of your legendary and class traits gives you the flexibility to create strong builds for soloing, grouping, raiding and PvMP.Your first opportunity to work on legendary traits comes at level 39 and starts with your class trainer. See Earning Your Legendary Traits for details.
