Thread: Deed Location Maps

I started making these deed maps for my own use and thought others might find them useful too.

They contain all Explorer deed POI's and recommended slayer-deed locations. They are based on the info in my Completionist Tracker, which is kept as accurate as possible, and will be updated along with it.

So far, I have made them for these areas, and will finish the rest of the areas if there's enough interest.

Overview can be found here.

Any input is welcome.

Here is an example of the North Downs. Click to enlarge.

Ah interesting. I only knew of the German Version.

As I usually game in English(hate German mobnames), your Version is also appreciated.

As one that loves to clear a area before moving on, this is something that personally i would love and use.
Really nice work there

Woaw, nice work !
Thanks for sharing Lady Whiteberry.

Very much interested. +rep to you.

Thank you, I needed some guide to get TPs for the Great River quest pack that will be on sale. This will help indeed.

Your map of the North-Downs helped me finally finish off those stronghold exploration deeds I've had in my journal for who-knows-how-long. Keep up the good work, Whiteberry!

These are far and away the best deed maps I've seen. +rep, many thanks, and definitely interested in more!

This is so, so much appreciated... who knows, maybe your help I'll be able to shrug off the title of Easily Lost. Though that might have more to do with oh, SHINY! and every detour that leads to, rather than inability to figure out the landscapes...

Nice work.

Thank you for sharing.

You have nice map deed locations and notes.

I'm not wanting to kill a good idea and good effort, but possibly to avoid unneeded effort: I'm not sure yours are needed since the link quoted above basically provides the same into for all released maps to date, plus more locations for questing, etc.

Regards

Thank you all for the positive feedback

Thanks. I know of the above dynamic map, but it is not the same as I am creating here.

My idea is to have a simple map with explorer and slayer deeds alone in one overview - where you don't have to know the deed's names etc. beforehand or filter other things out. I prefer to have my second monitor showing the deed map without having to select things or search for names - or looking on other websites for what deeds there are.

So, I consider this very different from the dynamic map, which is great info and kudos to them, but it's not that useful to me personally when doing explorer/slayer deeds.

I don't think anyone is surprised that the info is out there already in various forms to be honest - and most can be found on the Lorebook for individual deeds. I just haven't seen anything specific on deed POI's and slayer deeds in one overview.

These are great!! Was in the process of writing down a whole bunch of co-ords. Now I will just print out the maps.
Thanks

Very nice work on these Whiteberry!

I did notice a few mistakes on the Ered Luin Map...

• Numbers 25 (Master of Beasts), 26 (Spiders), & 28 (Wolves) are all jumbled up:
  • 25 should only be in Sarnur but it is listed also where 26 should be in eastern Haudh Lin.
  • 26 is shown where 28 should be at Nen Hilith and is not shown where it should be north of Kheledul in eastern Haudh Lin which is shown as 25.
  • 28 isn't shown anywhere but should be where 26 is incorrectly shown at Nen Hilith.

And just a bit of nit-piking here, on the Bree-Land map (to help if an area is congested with players)...

• Number 19 (Brigands) should also be listed at number 10 (South-guard Ruins).
• Number 20 (Neeker-breekers) could also be shown at Halecatch Lake just south of Bree.
• Number 21 (Orcs) could also be shown over at the ruins on the western shore of Nen Harn above Far Chetwood.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Fantastic work!

I corrected the Ered Luin map, since you are right that they were jumbled up. Thanks :)

I added the Bree-land notes, which I think made sense without cluttering the maps too much.

I appreciate the input :)

Thank you for getting me organised

Very nice maps!

I agree with Whiteberry, although the information is also contained in the ruslotro maps, these maps are for a specific purpose and I think it's incredibly helpful that it's all "at a glance" instead of having to navigate the drop down menu for each location.

Plus for those of us running slower computers, we only have to have a picture open instead of a browser.

I like those a great deal. I hope you get to finish them all (with help of course ). I'll be keeping an eye out for more.

Thank you everyone for the input and comments.

I will continue making the maps for the next zones and also make a simple navigation for them. Please continue to write comments/ideas/additions here, and I'll add them continuously.

For North Downs, I'd suggest moving, or duplicating, the Warg Deeding spot. I've found the best place to deed them is in Annundir, at someone-or-other's scar? Can't remember the exact name of the place, but it's NE of Stoneheight. There's a hill with TONS of wargs that respawn quickly.

They spawn quicker and don't share spawns with wolves as they do at Amlaith's Scar, kill them all on the way down and by time you have got back to the top of the area they have respawned, where as at Amlaith's Scar there are alot less wargs and they share spawns with the Wolves and Bears

Nice work!

Those of us who are geographically challenged, both in game and in real life, salute you for your help!!!

I have added 4 new maps for Trollshaws, Misty Mountains, Evendim and Annúminas above. As always, comments are welcome

Quite handy, thanks. I usually just google locations and that works but these also point out where to find mobs etc. which is a nice touch.

The only thing missing is, some locations I know where they are but not how to get to them due to terrain blocking passage. For instance in the Misty Mountains there's one or two 'high places' I just can't seem to figure out how to get to. A line with arrows indicating the route would help a lot.

Still and all, very good.

These are nice maps, thank you for the hard work. Takes a lot of guess work out of figuring what goes where, trying to match up deed logs with the wiki, etc.

I wonder if this should be moved and pinned onto the deeds forum? I'm afraid it might sink down fast on this forum.

Wow! You're making quick work of these! Very nice.

Since I'm an altoholic and have run literally dozens of characters through the starter areas, I know them like the back of my hand (I could probably run them in my sleep), hence my suggestions in those areas. The higher level maps I've only run a relatively few through, so suggestions will be rare from me there (for now ).

With that said, a few more...

• On the Ered Luin map, Wolves (28) could be added to the area west-southwest of Gondolan, just west of and right beside Clovenvale in Rath Teraig. That area is a great place to go when Nen Hilith is crowded. I've completed quite a few Wolf deeds in that area rather quickly with my Dwarves without ever going south.
• You might want to keep/add the stables on the maps to help newer players, who aren't yet familiar with the regions, figure out the quickest routes to the areas, plus they give a nice point of reference on the map, something quickly recognizable by anyone who has ever looked at an LOTRO map.

Great work Whiteberry. These are real time-savers.

Great work. Highly appreciated.

Ive been aware of several locations to find information for deeds, but these look to be very good. Especially as there isn't extra information cluttering stuff up.

Nice job.

Good idea to move it to the deeds forum. I'll do that. I think it's a bit random what gets pinned, but at least I can create a new thread and update the progress there. Thanks.

Updated list of finished maps moved to the forum deed section here.

Excellent these will definitely come in handy! Thanks alot TC!

Very nice! Thanks for the work!

Great work Whiteberry. These are real time-savers. :)

Thanks again - this is a great help. I'll add the wolves - and good idea with the stables/campfires. I think I did it on some of the maps, but not all, so will fix that :)

Awesome maps +rep

On the Evendim map, when doing the salamander slayer, I've found that I much prefer going to the island Tyl Ruinen as they are clustered together nicely there.

Excellent point. I'll add that, thanks

I have added/updated with the comments - thank you all.

The following maps have also been added:

Angmar
Forochel

The overview can be seen in this thread.

You are fast!

One thing... you seem to have missed the North Downs map stables & campfires.
