MORIA - CENTRAL HALLS

The Central Halls of Moria represent the mid-most levels sandwiched between the high halls of Upper Moria and the hellish chasms of the Lower Deeps. Compared to some of the claustrophobic passages of these other areas, the Central Halls are airy and spacious, with great, wide halls and soaring vaulted ceilings often rising higher than can be seen in the dim gloom of the mines.

These middle levels are ideal for characters in the mid-50's level range. The Grand Stair, an instance set in the Redhorn Lodes, is first available at level 56, and many players run it over and over to earn barter tokens for the outstanding Moria raid gear, which is powerful enough to take most players clear into endgame.

The Central Halls are the real meat of Moria, and the Twenty-first Hall is one of the best instance and raid staging points in the game. Aside from regional barterers, crafting guildhalls and arable farmland, it has every facility most crafters and endgame raiders will need: superior crafting facilities (except farmland), a skirmish camp, Legendary Item services and barterers, an Auction Hall and assorted vendors are all nearby. As an added bonus, players can (and often do) engage in sparring matches here, which is something you just can't do in Bree-town.
