Lord Of The Rings Gold can be explored by you now. Skirmishes hand out the two most essential tools for leveling - XP and gear - and do a decent job of it, even if questing or dungeon runs might reward better in certain circumstances.
This is a boon to many veterans LotRO players who are want to bring up an alt, yet have no interest in repeating the same quest content and zones from years past. It is an attractive prospect: spend an hour or two in skirmishes a day, and that character will rocket up through the ranks to wherever you want him or her to be.
Killed in a Smiling Accident considers this alternative path a slightly superior way to level: LotRO skirmishes give really quite generous experience the first time you run them each day due to their having an automatic daily quest associated with them that boosts experience and token gains; running the four skirmishes open to my character at the moment can net the best part of half a level for little more than an hour play, something that is much harder to do with standard questing due to the traveling involved in getting from the quest givers to their objectives and back again.
