Virtue Deeds in Misty Mountains

Misty Mountains is a strong zone for earning virtues while leveling. Complete 30 quests in the zone for one rank of Empathy and two of Innocence. Group up for Warg Slayer and Troll Slayer - it will go faster and the trolls drop good coin. Skip the trolls if you don't want to group up, you'll get other opportunities to earn Valour later.

Keep in mind that these are only a few of the virtues you can earn in this zone - specifically the ones you'll find useful while leveling and are relatively easy to get. You may want to return later to earn more. See Choosing Your Virtues for more information.

Legendary Deeds in Misty Mountains

Misty Mountains is one of the zones where pages drop from humanoids for your Legendary Trait deeds. Be sure visit your class trainer at level 39 and buy the books that start the deeds. You'll need to visit Rivendell to advance the deed, but then any humanoids you kill in Misty Mountain could drop one of the bottom four pages for one of your deeds.

The Epic Story and Misty Mountains

Misty Mountains are the setting for Volume I, Book 5, which gives good XP at level. Now that all of Volume 1 can be soloed, this is a good addition to your leveling plan.

Crafting and Misty Mountains

Lord of Rings Mammoths in Misty Mountains
Most areas in Misty Mountains have plentiful Tier 4 gathering: Dwarf-iron and Platinum deposits, Lebethron branches and Pristine hides from lynxes, bears and mammoths. Tier 4 scholar relics, Forgotten Texts, can be found at Gabilazan (28.0S, 0.8E) and The Bitter Stair (17.9S. 2.2W).

The High Pass area is a good place to collect Tier 5 Ancient-iron and Ancient-silver ore, Black Ash wood and Exceptional hides. The closest crafting facilities are in Rivendell.

Does anybody know the easiest way to Goblin Town? I've been wandering around in the Mountains, and Giant halls for a week and can't seem to find a way through. Some of the notes I've googled are so vague as well. Any help would be appreciated!

Go north through Whitecleft, the pass marked "6" on our map on page 1. Once in the Eastern Bruinen Source, head east until you find a large iced over pond with wargs. Head around the left side of the pond. Look up and to the left a little, you should see a ramp going up into the mountains. Follow this into the High Pass area (D on our map).

Once in High Pass, follow the hill down to the east, then swing north. This will put you in the vicinity of Goblin Town (F on our map)

Thanks Luna! This is certainly more detailed notes than I was able to find elsewhere. I'll give it a go this weekend and hopefully knock out some of these quests I've been carrying around. Cheers mate!

Any tips on how to reach the Goblin boss for V1B5? I've crossed Caldwell's Pool and headed up the ramp but haven't made it yet to the quest marker on my map (ranged goblin + melee goblin + patrol goblin -> Hobbit running away). Am I at least headed in the right direction?

Thanks for the awesome articles!

It seems the Forester gathering nodes are entirely T5, Black Ash, in the zone. This means gathering can start at 39-43 areas instead of 46+ here.
