It seems that my level 50 hunter questing in Forochel not having done the Moria intro and wearing the stone of the tortoise doesn't earn any xp.
Is the intro required?
Are LIxp quests required?
Is a certain level required?
What exactly are the requirements to earn it? Because the reward track states that any character can earn xp and claim the rewards.
If you can access the Reward Track, then you should be able to earn legendary experience. If you cannot access it, then you must obtain the title that allows you to use legendary items (through the Moria introduction or inside the Valar package). This has been changed so you can complete the questline at a minimum of level 45. This does not mean that all quests will suddenly give you legendary experience. For example, missions that are set at level 45 are not eligible because they are under level 50 (the original and real designated level of the legendary system). However, any quests inside Moria will provide it since you can complete those 5 levels under their designated level.
You can't access the reward track, hence earn IXP if you haven't gone through the Moria intro.
WJ is talking about the Seeker of Deep Places trait. Completing Moria intro is the traditional way to earn it, although valars also provide this trait to facilitate LI usage.
While I understand the restriction, it is not made clear in the reward track itself which states that any character can earn for it. But it also is discouraging to follow the epic to the end and finish Eriador. I have to skip ahead of the story to do the intro. Of cause, I can go back then which also interrupts the flow of the Moria epic. What only affected the character itself now is affecting the whole account. Leave it to SSG to mess up their own story.
Guess levelling new characters through Eriador is discouraged as well since they do nothing to add to the reward track. With the little time I have I'm basically "forced" to play characters who already have LIs. That wouldn't be a problem if the reward track only would have LI items but that is not the case. There are figment boxes and now even cosmetic and pet which I can't get playing as I do. There is hoping Midsummer is helping with lots of LIxp since I play that on 3-4 characters.
Thank you for the clarification. At least I don't have to check the track.
I get your point. I have been leveling up a new toon using a tortoise stone to stay on level. I went ahead and did the Moria Intro at 45 before continuing with Vol 1 of the Epic just to get the LIs and open that toon up to earning IXP for reward track. Without the impetus of Reward Track I think I would have waited until Level 50 to go to the Moria Intro. It isn't a big deal but it did require a little shifting around.
Missions at 45 in Wildwood do, my hobbit burglar can attest to that, as she has been there for many months.Quote:

This is the LI track, the fluff shouldn't be at the last 50 levels of it but the first and the further you get the better the rewards for your LI.
It may have been changed since the last patch, but the reward track now makes explicit that one needs to complete the deed "Seeker of Deep Places." You don't have to finish all of Moria, just the introductory quests to open it. Not that big a deal, imho. YMMV, as always.Quote:

In the limited time I have I'm basically told to play characters in higher level areas and forget Eriador (accept Enedwaith and Dunland). At this time I'm just at lvl 5 thanks to a few missions I did on my 130 LM.
