Evendim Part 1 (30-36)

A note to free players: when you start playing the game all the initial quest areas are open to you; as you level up you will need to unlock additional areas by purchasing quest packs from the LOTRO Store using Turbine Points (TP).  It costs 595 TP to buy the Evendim quest pack and you will not be able to quest in this area until you have purchased it (note that there are no level 30+ areas you can quest in without spending TP and I believe Evendim offers the best value for "money" so would recommend getting this over other options)

The best route into Evendim is via The Shire. You can fast travel to Michel Delving free from Bree -West Gate, Celondim or Thorin's Hall. Ride north east until you pass through Greenfields and into Evendim and the town of Oatbarton. Set your milestone to Oatbarton and:

12. Ride south from Ost Guruth to the ruins of Tham Andalath. Enter the ruins and head to the far corner (9.8,63.0) to find Andy Idden.  The quest is marked small-fellowship but is definately solo-able without too much effort.  Clear the area around Andy (but not the sleeping goblin right in front of him). You will have to deal with Andy, his warg and the sleeping goblin at the same time.  I suggest using cc if you have it and taking the goblin/warg out first to reduce your incoming damage.  Also consider bringing a potion with you (I didn't need one but best to be safe!)

Epic Quest - Book 3

Now is a good time to go and do the Book 3 Epic Quest as you are high enough level to complete the entire book.  If you followed my Lone Lands guide you already have the Foreword to Book 3 so you can take a stable route from Tinnudir directly to Trestlebridge in the North Downs where you can continue the epic quest; if you don't have the Foreword you need to travel to Ost Forod in the Lone Lands. Follow my guide to Book 3 here.
