Overview
Missions are small scaling instances available to players level 20 and above. They can be completed Solo or Duo. Each has a unique objective and Twist, a special condition present in the Mission.
There are currently five regions containing Mission quests. Mission Recruiters provide swift travel to these "command centers" from many settlements:
- Elderslade — War of Three Peaks Missions
- The Wildwood — Wildwood Missions
- Rivendell — Further Adventures of Bilbo Baggins Missions
- Erebor — Kharum-ubnâr Missions
- Gundabad — Gundabad Missions
- Rivendell — Further Adventures of Elladan and Elrohir Missions
Duo Missions
Missions can be played by two players in a fellowship, even if they aren't the same level. The procedure:[1]
- When Player A starts the Mission, Player B will see a dialog. Click "OK".
- Player B should then talk to the NPC who granted the Mission.
- Player B should select the same Mission quest, as if to start the solo version. (This step is required for Player B to receive credit for the mission in wrapper quests.)
- Player B should scroll to the bottom of the quest list to "Available Private Encounters", and find the Mission there.
