Last dumb question. I promise!

[Brogarn]

Dumb questions of the day: Is there something other than questing that I should be doing at 16? Any dungeons in that level range that are worth my time? And who's in that level range and wants to group?

[Mrbloodworth]

First standalone instance is at 20 (I mean by standalone: Not the Epic quest version, completely a side adventure), The great barrow. If that's what you mean.

[Brogarn]

Your link is brokedededed. I'll look that up, though. Thanks!

Why would you do such a thing?  Has Brogarn wronged you in some way, sir?

I enjoyed that instance. BTW Brogarn hates the shire.

I think I just got thrown under the bus.

Also, the Shire can suck it. Deliver your own pies, fatty. And the next postman I see, I'm stabbing. In the face. With something rusty.

What do you have against pie?

Nothing at all. Mmm... pie. It just got redundant delivering pies over what feels like a thousand mile radius to any lazy bastard who had mild hunger pains and couldn't be arsed to walk to the nearest town for a fill up.

Nah, its a good instance that's a good deal of fun, and has some decent rewards and drops (Also being revised in the bree-land revamp AFAIK, quest wise). Yegolev just has had some bad experiences in it with PUGs and has sworn it off with all the enthusiasm as you have the shire. So i thought it was funny.

I am more than happy to run it with people (takes about an hour though, with no mess ups) i just haven't had a toon around that level in a bit, but I mean, I can bring who ever.

[Yegolev]

Do you remember who ran me through the Great Burrito?

[Mrbloodworth]

Was it me? 

[rattran]

The Great (confusing, pain in the ass) Barrow is mildly annoying compared to it's big brother Haudh (Fuck the Men of Bree faction) Icarith.

Honestly, all the "Lets make this a group required area by simply filling it with too many trash mobs, and make them elite" kinda suck compared to regular areas. Sure, killing giants is fun, but the greatly increased risk and minor increase in loot/xp doesn't really work. You're better off in a full group just fining some nice reds for better xp/loots, or trying to eat single grapes.

And for the record, the Shire Postal service is a great way to learn the layout of the zone, and how to really watch the minimap for snoopy hobbitses. It's my second favorite running-about chain, only beaten by The Inn-League Challenge.

rattran basically summarized my problem with the fellowship dungeons.  If I just needed six random asshats to do them, I'd be relatively happy, maybe even ecstatic.  My last run in GB was for Ancient Story of Evil and the group contained at least two people that knew the dungeon layout and spawn points, plus everyone other than me was around lv23... I was lv32.  We still wiped against the lich twins somehow.

More power to you. I prefer learning the map in bits and pieces while making bits and pieces of goblins and dourhands.
