While all content is free up with areas released up to and including Helms Deep (level 95 areas). There are still some areas in Eriador, missions and other content you might want as a new lotroplayer. The biggest Lotropoint costs in the beginning of your journey is convenience. The old rule of thumb was to get the below items in that order
1 and 3 are now free(ish), but you’ll still want space and travels. Or spacetravel if you’re wanting to play Eve online.
Yes, if you, could/have the option/are able/are allowed, use cash it’s way more efficient to buy it. But with SSG and their payment provider there are plenty of areas in the world unable to use USA based payment providers. This likely won’t change anytime soon. If you want to farm Lotropoints you probably have a valid reason for it.
For the basis of this guide I’ve used Steam LP guide. This has been the defacto guide for repeatable farming of lotropoints. But the guide hasn’t been updated in a long while. At several points the speed and drearyness can be improved.
Steps in short
Advanced deed tracker beyond Shire/Eredluin – Advanced/VIP/Craft buff level 5-20 by farming
Talk to the Stable Master and pick swift travel to Celondim. Set your milestone to Celondim. From here, find a NPC called Eilian. Take the quest “At the behest of Cardavor” from her, and turn in the quest to Cardavor, and take “Unlike Avorthal” from him. Then find Laenin the Glade watcher, and take the quest “In defense of the forest”.
Now ride to Nen Hilith. There, you will find a small camp. Turn in and accept all of the quests. Go down the valley and now, if you got the 1 hour and 30 mins slayer deed boost, use it, and start killing wolves. Complete both of the deeds (advanced) and don’t forget to loot a green collar in the loot list, it’s a quest item which you’ll need for Ered Luin quest deed. When you’re done, turn in the quests and accept new ones.
Now go back to Celondim, finish what quests you may and accept:
Now go to Tham Gelair ruins, finish the quest then go to Limael’s Vineyard; turn the quest in and take “Gleaning the field” and “A rare vintage” from Brethilwen. You can finish first part of the Goblin deed while you’re here. Turn in the quests and go back to Celondim. Take the following quests:
Now talk with Stable Master and pick a ride to Duillond. When you get there, turn in the quests and accept these:
Finish the “Cleansing draught” and take “Cleansing the ruins” and “A cause for concern” from Calengil.
Ride to Dol Ringwest and finish the quests. You can finish the advanced Goblin slayer deed here. Go back to Duillond when you’re done and turn the quests in. Take the quest “Glamir’s vigil” from Calengil and take a ride back to Celondim. When you get there, talk to the stable master and take a swift travel to Thorin’s Gate.
Make sure to visit Frerin’s Court and start Places of the dwarves deed. Then go to Thorin’s Gates and later on to Silverdeep Mine for two more places in the deed. Then go to the Stable and take a ride to Noglond. It’s another place needed for the deed. Take the quest “Cutting cords” from Grimkell. Finish it, then take “Hunting goblins” from him. Get the fetish, turn it in, and take “Villains in the vale” from Grimkell. When you finish the mass slaughter, go back to Grimkell and accept “Goblins in the south”.
Take a ride to Gondamon (last place of the dwarves). Turn the quest you have and take:
Now, ride to Ringdale (Scouting the Dourhands deed), finish the quests and both Brigand slayer deeds. Ride to Haudh Lin and talk to Glamir. Turn the quests in and ride north to Grimwater (Scouting the Dourhands deed).
Go back to Gondamon and turn the quests in. When you do, take “Reluctant allies” from Gailthlin, turn it in at Mathi and take “Mutual dislike” from him. Now, take a ride to Thrasi’s Lodge. There, turn the quest you have and take “The cat’s meow” from Thrasi and “A remarkable bow” from Celairant. Head to the den valley (BUT DO NOT INTERACT WITH IT) kill all of the Hendrovals first (Hendroval slayer deed). After you kill the pigeons, interact with the den and the Hendrovals will respawn again, thus making it faster to finish the complete deed (including advanced one).
Now go to Wardspire (see point of interest 11), it’s the final place of Elf ruins deed, there is a big lair of spiders near it which will start Spider slayer deed. Finish both of the slayer deeds. Proceed to Kheledul, finish the quest you got there and make sure you “discover” the last two places for Scouting the Dourhands deed (visit the Spire of Kheledul and the Docks). Time to return to Thrasi’s Lodge and turn in the quests. You should now get a notification that you completed the Hero of Ered Luin deed (if you didn’t, accept the second quest from Thrasi).
After you finish Ered Luin part, go to Celondim (can use your Milestone), select fast travel to Michel Delving.
From here, ride to South Fields, proceed east to The Great Willow; a bit north-east from here you’ll find Methel-stage. Now ride south-east to Old Odo’s Leaf-Farm and Narrowcleeve; you know what to do… Kill all of the brigands!
When you’re finished, go to The Yale-height. You need to kill harvest-flies for the deed here. If you run out of them, go look around the nearby farms, you can also kill wolves for the deed which you’ll need later (can also complete this at Puddifoot’s Fields, Bridgefields Wall later) . Now go south to Bamfurlong; next visit the Stocktower. Cross the river outside Stock, and go to Puddifoot’s Fields & Bridgefields Wall. From here, go to The Quarry, be sure to check the cave and kill the spiders for the deed. Now it’s time for the last slayer deed! Go to The Scrag-dells & Golfimbul’s Hole to kill goblins. When you’re done, go south and visit Appledores, The Party Tree and Dora Brownlock’s Farm.
