I believe all of us get stuck in Lotro not knowing where to go, what to do, who to kill and so on. I used to get stuck on quests looking for a named mob or special item because I just did not know where they were, and the Internet wouldn't help me either. I then decided to look for help, other people told me I should use guides. So why should anyone use a leveling guide for Lotro?

Here are the top 5 reasons to use a leveling guide:

1. To not waste your time with boring grinding, this will give you more time to do the fun bits;

2. To find all the information you need on any quest you might encounter in one single place;

3. To learn the right order to complete quest series, thus leaving more time to do other stuff, and yet level faster;

4. To get walkthroughs to do the quests so you don't have to redo them because something unexpected happened and you had to retreat;

5. To improve your personal playing style. You will find great tips from experienced players so that you will never be left behind;

Therefore, those are the first 5 reasons I could think of, I'm sure others would think of more reasons but I believe my point was made. As I see it, using a leveling guide for LOTRO Gold would only enhance your gameplay, I know it is fun to explore a game but let's face it, it's fun in the beginning. After you saw what there is to see, you turn your attention to making characters fast so you can use them in raids or killing players in monster play.

From my point of view, using something that makes things easier isn't a bad thing like some would say, you just make something nice even nicer and more enjoyable. A nicely made leveling guide for LOTRO Gold that offers you some other perks is something to enjoy, not something that spoils your gameplay.
