Stable & Routes

[DancesInTrees]

The new map is, as ever, beautiful .

Current map
* Duillond > Duillond Homestead (actually it takes you closer to the Shire zoneline than the Homestead unless they've fixed it) is missing
* All 3 homestead routes are one-way only.
* Riv - Esteldin price is missing (20s I think but not certain without checking)
* The slow, not level-locked, route from Esteldin - Tinnudir still exists alongside the swift travel route.

Bk13
* Swift Travel to Gath from Riv & Esteldin (presumably rep-locked the same as the other Gath routes).
* Ost Forod - the first unpronounceable place!
* I'm exploring Forochel at a steady pace so I'm a long way off finding all the new stable masters.

Current map
* Duillond > Duillond Homestead (actually it takes you closer to the Shire zoneline than the Homestead unless they've fixed it) is missing [will add that in, assuming the cost is the same as the others]
* All 3 homestead routes are one-way only. [which way? the space is so limited that I am not sure how I am going to denote it. May just add a note for it.]
* Riv - Esteldin price is missing (20s I think but not certain without checking) [yeah, it's 20s, my oversight]
* The slow, not level-locked, route from Esteldin - Tinnudir still exists alongside the swift travel route. [I'll add it back in]

[I'll make these changes today, thanks!]
[10:53am - changes made, reposting it momentarily]


Bk13
* Swift Travel to Gath from Riv & Esteldin (presumably rep-locked the same as the other Gath routes). [let me know!]
* Ost Forod - the first unpronounceable place!  [cool - so I can just throw in some random letters, ya? Take a pen and paper with and let me know, hehe. Do you happen to know WHERE it is in relation to the existing stables?]
* I'm exploring Forochel at a steady pace so I'm a long way off finding all the new stable masters.  [I dread having to redraw the spider web for the new stuff, hehe. I may have to reorient it all horizontally.  I do NOT want to start on it till I am sure of ALL the new routes.]

Which way? to the homestead. There's no stable there they just drop you off in mid-air.

Random letters sounds good (although the Fin in our kinship might disagree). I'll update the Forochel stuff once I've explored up there a bit more.

Forochel travel routes are as follows (all require a minimum level of 40):

Kauppa-kohta to:
Ost Forod - 25s
Pynti-peldot - 25s

Pynti-peldot to:
Ost Forod - 25s
Ost Forod (swift travel) - 25s (requires Acquaintance Standing with Lossoth of Forochel)
Kauppa-kohta - 25s
Zigilgund - 25s
Sûri-kylä - 25s

Zigilgund to:
Pynti-peldot - 25s
Sûri-kylä - 25s
Sûri-kylä (swift travel) - 25s (requires Friend Standing with Lossoth of Forochel)

Kuru-leiri to:
Sûri-kylä - 25s (must have completed quest 'The Frozen War')

Sûri-kylä to:
Ost Forod (swift travel) - 25s
Pynti-peldot - 25s
Zigilgund - 25s
Zigilgund (swift travel)- 25s (requires Friend Standing with Lossoth of Forochel)
Kuru-leiri (swift travel)- 25s  (must have completed quest 'The Frozen War')
West Bree (swift travel) - 35s (requires Ally Standing with Men of Bree)
Gath Forthnir (swift travel) - 35s (requires Ally Standing with Council of the North)
Rivendell (swift travel) - 35s (requires Ally Standing with Elves of Rivendell

Other travel map information:

Gath Forthnir is misspelled on the travel map as Gath Fortnir.

Esteldin now has quick travel to Gabilshathur and Gath Forthnir for 25s.  There are probably Reputation restrictions that I didn't notice at the time, as well as other similar routes which I have not yet discovered.

[Brasse]

Thanks very much!!!

Now I just have to figure out where all these places are in relation to one another.
I'll get to it as soon as I can.

[Alanshara]

To use the stable at Gath Forthnir, you have to have at least Acquaintance standing with the Council of the North.

[AmAvocet]

OK, here's an annotated screenshot of the Forochel map showing stable locations.

Thanks very much!

Brasse, would you be willing to create the map also in german if I provide you the translations? Since some of the names differ greatly it is not so easy to use the english map for us german players (e.g. Trestlebridge is Schragen in german).
btw - I love your work!!! Wished you would do more for Lotro.

[Brasse]

I would love to do the map in German. Let's wait until I have time to add the new place-names, and then I'll ask you for the translation!

Map with Forochel

1)There's  a swift from Ost Forod - Syri-kula 25 lvl 40 no rep required
And there's a swift travel route from Suri-kyla to Kuru-leiri 25s, lvl 40, requires the quest "The Frozen War" but no rep.

2) several of the new routes have different requirements depending on the direction

Esteldin > Gath requires Friend with Council of the North
Gath > Esteldin requires Friend with Rangers of Esteldin (yuk, I barely have acq there, tended to skip DD quests)

Riv > Gath requires Friend with CoN
gath > Riv requires Friend with Riv

(Obviously all Gth forthnir ones require Bk6 Ch 6)

Not certain on this one, I'll check when I can or can anyone else confirm?
Riv <> Suri-kyla  - one way requires rep with Forochel, the other with Riv

And West Bree <> Suri Kyla - you show Ally with the Los, but it's Ally with Men of Bree (both ways)


Are you sure you wanted corrections? 

----------------------

Btw, how about an EQ2 main zone connections? that's getting mind boggling too & I've failed to google anything useful. Seems like the main center point of that now is the Butcherblock / Thundering Steppes / Nek forest triangle.

[Brasse]

I hate you.

No, I really do. =P
I will try to edit in the changes after I do today's comic... let's make that as soon as you can confirm:

Not certain on this one, I'll check when I can or can anyone else confirm?
Riv <> Suri-kyla  - one way requires rep with Forochel, the other with Riv


EQII connections would be a freaking nightmare, but we do have several sections DONE already; they were done for a Prima Guide but never used.  In fact, Brakk has also been (very slowly) working on a java applet that lists the best route between the entered point A and point B. It is complicated by the fact that there are so MANY routes, dependent on if you have teleportation (druid/wiz) or completed certain quests (Jarsath hammer).

Thanks, guys!
And yes, no matter how much it makes me scowl, I am VERY happy you're posting addendums and corrections here!

OK, Riv <> Suri Kyla is Ally with Elves of Riv for both directions.

I wish they'd make up their minds

[DancesInTrees]

This gets worse

Suri-kyla > Ost Forod has no rep requirement
Ost Forod > Suri-kyla requires friend with the Lossoth

Thanks for the updated info everyone and thanks for the nicely layed-out route map Brasse.
