Guide to Little Delving,
Waymeet and Michel Delving Quests
By Darkgolem
Michel Delving is the first place a hobbit arrives at after completing
the
href="http://lotro.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=120">prologue
for hobbits and humans in LOTRO. Michel Delving is full of fun
quests, including the "Chicken Quests" which, while massive, end with
the reward of a Cloak of the Cluck. Most of the quests here are
not particularly hard, but are a nice introduction to the shire.
A few of the quests in Michel Delving require travel to far flung
areas, the previously mentioned chicken quests plus Brockenridge to
href="http://lotro.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=456">Bree-Town.
Most of the quests require only some traveling around the shire, plus a
bit of fighting.
Note: The Chicken Quests are available in Waymeet, but are covered
under another fine set of guides, found
href="http://lotro.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=119">here.
