Ok... so now what? Where do I go next?

[MikeSol99]

I just finished "Volume 1, Book 15, Epilogue -- Laerdan's Parcel" of the epic storyline. I got a bunch of rewards and that it is it. My quest log is empty. What or where do I go now? I am a level 57 Dwarf Guardian.

Well after that you move on to Moria. Here's the link for the Epic Quests:

And here's the over all Quest flow for the game:

After 57 you'll be overleveled for Moria, but that's not such a bad thing there.

57-58 is actually the perfect level for Moria, enjoy not seeing sunlight for a few weeks

That's good advice for anyone who plays games, especially a lot.

[Berserkr]

Seriously I remember my first time through Moria I never took the character out at all, once I got out into Lothlorien it was almost blinding lol

[MikeSol99]

Thank you for the link.

Apparently, I already did 'Epic - Volume 2 - Prologue' but it did not direct me to 'Book 1 - Chapter 1: Strangers in Hollin' n Eregion. I am guessing if I follow this new epic storyline, it will take me into Moria.

[Erionor]

Go to the Hollin Gate (south east corner of Eregion) and take the quest from the dwarf there.

[MikeSol99]

If the game told me to go to the Hollin Gate, I never would have had to post my question. But the game didn't. I had absolutely no idea that the next part of the epic storyline begins there.

The Prologue to all this is at 1 of 4 NPCs in Rivendell, Angmar, Misty Mountains and Evendim which has you travel to Rivendell. It's more a "natural" thing where you stumble upon a Key NPC at one of those locations alerting you that Elrond Halfelven is requesting your presence.

With LOTRO being around so long, those who know will for themselves & advise others to go to Hollin Gate and start Volume 2 Book 1 and skip over the Prologue.

If you're questing in Eregion though when you get down to the south east you'll see the dwarf outside that starts the moria entry quest, you can't really miss him

Why though? Set milestones to inside and head off to your houses (and other milestones) at will. Never understood this 'locked in Moria' mentality

I was actually joking but ok

[MikeSol99]

Ok as someone pointed out, I am overleveled for Moria. I do not want to do all of these green quests. Will just following the epic storyline quests eventually get me out of Moria? Can I just skip Moria all-together?

[Rahlence]

There's no longer trait points locked behind epic quests, so you can completely skip moria without any issue.

OF course

For 90 or 100 LP in the store there is a pocket item called stone of the tortoise it stops your character xp gain while it's equipped, you should probably grab one if you want to do content on level, it's very easy to overlevel content in this game otherwise
