This week we will cover a few ideas on which area to head to for your leveling purposes.  If you went the Lone-lands route you should be about ready to head to Oatbarton and Evendim or to Esteldin and the eastern North-downs. If you chose to go through the North-downs then you will have naturally progressed to the eastside of the North-downs. At level 38, you will find that quests are either few and far between or require a group to complete. I would suggest doing Skirmishes as needed for the XP help in this situation. Unfortunately, at this stage you have just hit the proverbial wall as it comes to leveling.  You will get there, but it is going to seem like work!  Don’t be afraid to use the different chat channels to ask for suggestions.

The skills available to you from level 31-40

Level Skill Cost
32 Cry of Vengeance 102 40
33 Block : Rank 3 108 90
34 Call to Arms : Herald of Victory 115 60
35 Accuracy : Rank 3 122 50
36 In Harm’s Way 129 60
38 Tactic : Focus 144 40
39 Accuracy : Rank 4 152 10
40 To Arms 160
40 Command Respect 160
40 Summoning Horn Use 160

Now, the late 30s is the time to start your level 39 deeds, which allow you to gain 3 legendary skills. Books can be purchased from your class trainer.

Level Book Cost
39 The Book of Oaths 189 60
39 Treatise of Valour 189 60
39 The Candle’s Flame 189 60

After acquiring the books from your class trainer you will then need to find 8 missing pages per book. The pages can only be found by killing sentient monsters: Orc-kind, Trolls, evil dwarves, and evil men. The first four pages for each book will drop off mobs in the Angmar and Eregion areas.  When I say “first four”, I mean the top four in the deed log. The second four will drop off mobs in the Misty Mountains and Forochel. Upon completion of  each of these books you will receive a legendary trait, as shown below. Each of these traits, when active, will allow you to use a new skill.
