LOTRO Guides - Man Intro and partial Hobbit Intro guide : LOTRO - Guides

[Guest]

Hello, before we get started here, I would like to say thank you for reading. This guide works for Man (either male or female, doesn't matter) and partially for hobbits.


**THIS PART IS FOR MAN ONLY**
When the game first starts, you'll find yourself in a prison cell with Admir. If you want, you can set your first title now by clicking the little icon that pops up in the bottom right corner twice. Moving on, you need to speak with Admir first before you can do anything. You'll see the other NPCs chatting and Eogon tells the blackwold lackey to come in the cell and kill you. After this little episode, move out of the cell and immediately you'll find a crate. Right click on it and speak to Admir. Register to unlock hidden image
Depending on what class you picked, you'll get different weapons. Since I am a Champion, I receive a rusted longsword and a knife. I believe all the other jobs just receive a knife.

Incase you don't know how to equip the items, hit the "I" key and double click on the weapon; hit I again to make the window disappear.

After speaking with Admir, he'll tell you to go defeat the captors of Celandine. Move northwest to the door, and right click it. After going through, you'll be greeted by a Blackwold Ruffian. Right click him and you'll start attacking; use the skills you have (usually 3) and he'll be down in no time at all. Register to unlock hidden image

Can premium members say yay or nay to this being moved to a confirmed section.

[tault_mississippi]

Confirmed. It's a good write up of the tutorial. Should get people from level 1-6 relatively easy as well.

[Tault_admin]

moving to confirmed. Umm i guess more pictures of locations but that comes when you start more of a grinding guide.

[tault_mississippi]

Yea, I would add to Admins comment. A screenshot of the zone map, with numbered labels of areas, which allows you to reference the numbers in the text of the walkthrough, would really help people who aren't familiar with a zone know where they need to move to in order to perform the actions you are directing them towards.

I had in no way of knowing this before hand because I wasn't a premium member before, and have not used the site before. Besides, mine seems somewhat different than his and mine includes pictures and instances (I don't think his does from me just skimming through it).

Of course you couldn't know that and I am not belittling your guide compared to what others submit trying to save a little $, it is magnificent

but I have a problem I always play devil's advocate if you say A even if I agree with A, I say B so all sides can be explored

At that level a guide is just icing on the cake as there is no death penalty and no experience points are ever taken away a character cannot help but level up and a new player needs to learn how to decipher the sometimes less than great quest descriptions the devs made

But here is for icing on the cake, job well done!

the only thing I would add is while in the Blackwold's Roost to click on the -Ancient Cairn (27.1 S, 46.6 W at Blackwold's Roost) for the deed The History of the Dunedain which when finished earns Idealism + 1

Doing it now while your right there saves a run back to little used zone

and yes there was another post in march covering the instance taken from ten ton like most of the race, class crafting guides posted here were

I added in the part about the idealism +1 with credit to you inside the guide. Thanks for the info
