Leveling Guide to Trollshaws

Levels 32-45
Content Pack: VIP or Trollshaws Quest Pack
Trollshaws Quest Pack includes:
The Trollshaws are home to all manner of beasts and, well, trolls! Many an adventurer has encountered a troll on the road to Rivendell, the elven sanctuary which lies at the far eastern end of the zone. Try to visit Rivendell around level 35 to do the Riddle Quests (starts with Bilbo) and visit The Company at the Last Homely House. Be sure to talk to the stable master while there.

With good density of solo quests, Thorenhad (36-38) and Echad Candelleth (40-44) are good additions to any leveling plan. Starting at level 37, Volume 1, Book 4 of the epic story gives lots of XP at these levels.

Free and Premium Tactics

LOTRO Wood Troll in Trollshaws
Despite the few pockets of good questing mentioned above, other zone quest packs provide a better value for Free and Premium players in these levels. Overall, Trollshaws has far fewer quests than Evendim in the 30-40 level range, or Misty Mountains and Angmar in the 41-45 level range. You won't want to miss the epic story in Trollshaws for nice XP and gear rewards, but consider questing elsewhere.
