Located in a massive watery cave, The Water-works offers great questing for levels 55-56. To get there, travel south from Silvertine Lodes or jump down the well in the Chamber of the Crossroads (you'll die, but end close to The Rotting Cellar when you release).

Although some folks don't like all the swimming, the zone is relatively small, packed with mobs and offers a lot of quests in fairly smooth progression. Completing quests here opens up the Water-works Mirror Quest (repeatable daily) which pays IXP and your choice of level 51-60 potions.

Instances Connected to The Water-works

The Water Wheels: Nala-dum is a 3-man group instance you visit for Volume II, Book 4. Boss encounters drop Medallions of Lothlorien and other loot.

Filikul, also called The Turtle, is a level 60 12-man raid instance, and the easiest raid available in LOTRO. The fight takes about 10 minutes once the raid is formed and ready and rewards Medallions of Moria and other loot.

Vile Maw, home of The Watcher, is a challenging level 60 12-man raid instance that requires each member to have at least 45 radiance from armor and rank 10 Innocence traited. Run this with an experienced team that has a strategy for each phase of the fight, which can last up to 45 minutes. Loot includes Platinum Coin of Spirit, the barter item for helm and shoulders for the Vile Maw armour set, and Medallions of Moria among other items.
