You have probably been in Agamaur, east of the ruins of Ost Guruth, in the Lone-lands. It is a very weird ruin with red water and a strange red hue in the air. There are some dangerous walking trees and some nasty hidden 'turnips' on long legs. Low level characters can enter these areas too, but you have to be very careful.On the other hand, there is a trick to see it vere safely, from the
northern mountain ridge which is the border of Agamaur. If you want to
see it from above, climb some mountains west of Ost Guruth.

The mountainridge of Nain Enidh and Ost Guruth is easy accessible, even for level 20 players. Of course
you need a horse to jump, but thats always the trick to enter these off
road areas. The trick is to find some hidden place, and after some
jumping experiences, you will emerge - like by magic - on the brown
hills. Its near a place with trees, and just try to jump trough a wall
or some columns. To find these spots, watch out for small open areas
('slits') between the walls or pillars. With a war-steed you have to
learn to 'feel' such spots. If you experience some 'rubberbanding' -
like you are stretched back and forth on an elastic string - there is a
chance that you find some magic pass between two normally inaccessible
areas.

The mountain ridge can be travelled a long way, either westwards of eastwards. But ... be cautious. The west part leads to uncharted - unfixed - territory and if you dont read the warnings, you will be teleported to a starter area in Bree-land. I for example, reappeared in Archet. But, if you know the trick, you can enjoy the barren mountain area north of Ost Guruth.

South of Agamaur, there is a red swamp called Haragmar

Very nice description of Ost. It's easy to visit it all when you're lvl 45 but I think it's more exciting to do these trips when you're looking down at mobs that are red or purple to you :)

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe beauty of these kind of places is still the excitement of the explorer. So, even a level 95 player can enjoy these low level places - again. That's why I started all these wonderful places in Lotro. If you accidentally got the flying bug (see my blog about flying), these places are very easy to visit. Only time is the restriction for these wonderful voyages!
Happy gaming in Lotro! Elannah
