Level range indicates optimum level range to gain XP from
kills - the median level range of the dominant mobs, plus/minus 2
levels. Resources indicates crafting materials available from nodes and
from hide-bearing creatures in the area - humanoid mobs may drop other
types of items. Mobs indicates the dominant creature types that can be
found in the area, with links to their relevant slayer deeds where
appropriate. Landmarks include named points of interest and deed
locations, with links to relevant deeds.
Please Note! - The Misty Mountains map lies at the meridian
between West and East in terms of map coordinates. Make sure to note
the W or E in given co-ordinates on this page.

Lookout (21.5S, 4.6W) - Passage to Rivendell (26.0S, 3.7W)
Description: Just up the road
from Rivendell, the glacial sheets here feed the river Bruinen with
melting ice and snow. Gloin has established a camp just off the path
south, keeping an eye on the Dourhands and Hillmen and keeping them
from pressing down into the Vale of Imladris.
alt="Bitter Stair"

I'm
not entirely sure what these stairs taste like, but I'd imagine they're
at least somewhat bitter.

Bitter Stair (17.9S, 2.2W) - Entrance to Helegrod (17.8S, 1.6W)
- Helegrod Treasury (20.0S, 1.4W)
Description: The grand slope of
the southern face of the mountain rises to an old fortress named
Helegrod, claimed by the dragon Thorog since his recent reanimation by
agents of Mordor. Corcur hillmen guard the entrance to this great
complex, patrolling the Bitter Stair. The Helegrod Treasury is where
the crap hits the fan during Volume I Book 5.

- Pinnath Fenui (23.3S, 2.6E)
- Passage to Northern High Pass (22.0S, 3.0E)
Description: The northern slope,
at the top of Whitcleft, is home to a rather expansive goblin
community, with camps dotted all over the landscape and particularly
along the switchback trails southeast of Caldwell Pool. The passage to
the Northern High Pass is the highway to Goblin-town. The southern
chunk of Eastern Bruinen Source is the passage south through more
natural (but no less hostile) territory.
alt="High Crag"
src="http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/95719">
The
mammoths of the Misty Mountains are safe. Ivory is not yet used for any

href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/lotro/guides/areas/mistymountains/deeds#dwell">Gabilazan
(28.0S, 0.8E)
Description: Hostile, rocky
passes covered with snow, angry eagles, bears, mammoths and dirty
Dwarves. Most of the Dwarves are confined to Gabilazan, the Dourhand
fortress in the southwest, but a few others have taken to wandering
around. Passing through either Gabilazan or Rakhas-bizar will take you
into giant territory.
alt="Giant's Needle"
src="http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/95720">
Adventurous
drunks may occasionally find themselves stranded at the
very top of the Giant's Needle, sans pants, after drinking from an Inn
League keg.

href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/lotro/guides/areas/mistymountains/deeds#dwell">Iorbar
(30.6S, 5.7E)
Description: Pretty much
everything here is massive, and the mobs are mostly elites. Iorbar is
the giants' "town," mostly a series of square-cut canyons lined with
gargantuan square-cut blocks of stone, with hanging skins for doorways.
alt="South High Pass"

The
Gauredain have no clue how to build proper aqueducts.

href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/lotro/guides/areas/mistymountains/deeds#heights">Writhenbores
(26.6S, 9.0E)
Description: The constant
blizzards here are a likely source for the name "Misty Mountains" -
seen from a distance, the blowing snow resembles mist and blowing
clouds. The snow-swept plateaus and canyons are home to many Gauredain
and worms. If you find yourself in the middle of a blinding white-out
blizzard, stay alert for powerful rare signature mobs who may be
patrolling nearby.
alt="North High Pass"
src="http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/95722">
One
entrance is called the Mountain's Throat, the other is called the Black
Crack. You're forgiven if you feel that venturing into Goblin-town
reminds you somehow of an unpleasant medical procedure.

(22.0S, 8.6E)
Description: There are two small
quest hubs here, but the real "draw" of the place lies in the
northernmost corners: Goblin-town. Stock up on supplies if heading into
this godforsaken pit, because you'll probably be there for a while.
