Thread: Missing quests in Dunland?

You need to run north on the road and there's an NPC who will start the questline. You won't get any quests in the town for a little white.

I hit levelcap yesterday. I used DP exp boost and some task resets to get there (like 2 task resets a day) and ended up at 20k xp needed to hit cap when I had exhausted all quests in all regions. I used a couple more task resets to hit 75, which is one sorry way to hit cap..
What Ive learned: Lack of quests to hit cap without problem for characters that were levelcapped when ROI launched is a real problem.
To circumvent it and avoid the complete lack of available quests to tide you over to cap, it seems sensible to do the enedwaith and thangulhad repeatables while they are still lightblue for the exp. Its not as much as quests in ROI give, but it adds up over a few days before they become nonprofit. I will definately do that with my next toons.
Characters that were not level 65 yet when ROI went live havent exhausted mirkwood/enedwaith yet and should be fine.

Grinding skirmishes? Really? I can't even begin to describe how utterly disappointed I am.

Because this game has been quest focused for a very long time now. This is the first time in a very long time where we're actually expected to grind to the cap. And there aren't even any new skirmishes. So actually you're expected to level by repeating the same content you've been doing for 30+ levels already.

The xp from deeds and tasks is token at best. And I should point out that if you are questing off level (as in you're only 69, but fighting level 72 mobs because that's all that's left quest-wise) the drops aren't going to match your task's level, and you get nothing.

I find it mind-boggling that someone thought this was a good idea.

What disapoints me is how bad this expansion realy is. Bugged quest deeds, being forced to do a skirmish in the shire for chapter 1 of the epic book. I mean come on the shire of all the places for a forced skirmish.

I experienced the same thing. Does a quest item drop trigger the rest of the quests?

Why was this changed? Questing alone in previous releases (Mines of Moria & Siege of Mirkwood) required no sidebars to reach max level. In fact there were many many more quests than were needed in those areas. I didn't have to skirmish in Moria to reach max level. I didn't even have to complete all the quests. I skipped entire zones and still made the level cap with no problem. The same is true of Mirkwood. Why is it different this time? Who does this change benefit - and how?

No auto complete. The deed says 26/27 now. Do we need to do one of the culling pit quests?

/bug'd, but echoing here too -- hopefully it'll get some attention. I really don't want to deal with The Pit, if I don't have to.

Obviously something is still wrong here, 26/27 quests for starkmoor and i havent done a thing in the culling pit...Is this in fact still a bug ?

Have we had any response from Berephon about the Starkmoor quest deed? Prior to the last patch, it was stated that the fellowship quests (i.e. culling pit quests) should not be required for the deed. Post patch, I too am 1 quest short for the deed. Will this be fixed on next patch? (I havent done Isengard on this particular toon, but other toons I have are stuck).

I'm in the same boat. 26/27 and I've been absolutely everywhere in the Starkmoor. Definitely seems to be bugged, unless I'm missing a drop or something.

Same here, never did culling pit quests and am at 26/27. Doesn't seem right that we're required to do fellow quests to complete a general zone deed. Quests of Dunland deed is now gated behind 1 fellow quest. Blah.

At the moment it seems that you need 1 Culling Pit quest (of the 4 available) to complete the deed.

Did you get the quest in Galtrev to find Andras and/or did you find Andras and talk to him?

Add me to the list of people who have done 26/27 in Starkmoor. According to http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Categ...arkmoor_Quests, there are only 26 quests aside from the Culling Pit ones, so if it is intended that the quest deed can be completed solo, it is not WAI.

I can't comment on those that were at level cap when ROI was released. But, in my case, I started playing again the week before ROI was released and was at the old level cap of 50. I went through Moria (most of Moria but hated it and left), Lothlorien, Mirkwood, Enedweth, Bonevales, Galtrev, the Bog, Bonavan (sp?), and I'm a few thousand short of 74 today. And, I've still not done my Epic that vectors to the area after Galtrev.

So, for your up and coming characters, there's LOTs of quests to do to get to 75. In fact, I think there's quite a few ROI one's I'll not do and wait till they raise the cap again. Then I'll do them so I'll not experience the problem many of you have had trying to get to cap from 65.

26/27 in the Starkmoor. Will this be an Update 5 fix?

It is on Bullroarer, so--with the usual caveats about how things may change--yes, Update 5 will fix it.
