When I first started playing Lord of the Rings Online I made a Dwarf champion, I chose Dwarf because I like how they express greatness when they are so small. The start-up area got me confused though, Thorin's Hall is a very large place, so I used this LOTRO Leveling Guide to get around. Shortly after I started using it I noticed I skipped some important quests because the area was so large. I hope the LOTRO Leveling Guide I used will help you too.

There you go, as you probably saw, the LOTRO Leveling Guide, also contained some tips so you get everything done faster. To gloat a bit, I finished my character in under two hours. So by using this LOTRO Leveling Guide I don't see why anyone shouldn't do the same. Now you can go on and enjoy the rest of the game, and as a heads up, you have a pretty long way ahead of you.
This guide can be used by the Elves as well, there are only a few different steps.
