If you’re like me, you’re way behind on your Volume 1 Epic quests and, as such, Book 15 is unavailable to you.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t go on to new things if you wish. Despite some misinformation going around, Volume 2 is completely separate from Volume 1. You can start on Volume 2 no matter where you are in Volume 1.
Obviously there’s benefits to completing the Epic quests in Volume 1 first, but that’s up to you. You’re likely to find quite a few players who want to catch up on Volume 1 with you, but just in case no one is available you don’t have to just sit around.
In order to proceed, you’ll need to head to Eregion. This area is the bridge to Moria and is pretty large in and of itself. I noticed a few people in-game unsure of where they should be going next, particularly people returning to the game after a long hiatus.
You may have noticed the two bits of text on your Trollshaws map saying “to Eregion”. Now these pathways actually lead somewhere, instead of simply turning into dead ends. One is in the Giant Valley and one is south of Echad Candelleth.
At level 50, neither path should give you any issues. However, the path south of Echad Candelleth leads directly to the first point of interest in Eregion, a town called Gwingris, where you can gather up several new quests.
If you choose to go the other way, you can just keep following the road. On the way, take out a worm and a Dunlending man as both drop items that start quests. As you head west you’ll eventually hit Gwingris and can be on your way.
So you have to have completed all the other books to complete Book 15?

Apparently so. It seems like Book 6 is the only real exception to the flow of the books in the game. I guess it’s not terribly surprising.
