Leveling Guide to North Downs
Levels 21-34 Content Pack: VIP or North Down Quest Pack |
---|
North Downs Quest Pack includes:
|
Drop any group quests you can't readily find a fellowship for, unless you really want one of the rewards. Instead, alternate content with The Lone-lands (22-32) until you complete your 45 quests.
- Skip the quests from Trestlebridge and Amon Raith that start around level 22. These levels are better in Lone-lands and you won't need these quests to complete the 45 quests deed.
- Make your way to Esteldin around level 25. Be sure to get the stable points for Amon Raith and Esteldin. Quest in the Kingsfell area (quests come from Esteldin, Gatson's Farm and Meluinen).
- Around level 28, Othrikar is a good alternative when Lone-lands gets slow.
- After you finish Lone-lands around level 32, there are still quests from Esteldin and Rusfold for Dol Dinen and the areas east of Esteldin.
Free and Premium Tactics
Free and Premium players will likely want to purchase only one of these two zones. If you do all the quests and deeds in the zone, Lone-lands will take you to about level 34, while North Downs will take you to 38 or so. Either way you'll need a bridge zone, like Evendim or Trollshaws to get you to the level 40+ content or you can skirmish through the gap. Certainly complete the epic quests and easy ranks of reputation in either case.Quest Hubs and Points of Interest
