Before the Shadow lays the foundation for the core LOTR story as told by LOTRO. But Swanfleet is also steeped in a rich, and sometimes tragic, history. The Perils of Swanfleet Deed includes many Elven ruins, now inhabited by Uruks, enemy Dunlendings and…turtles. But there are other dangers too. Seek them out and take on the enemy in their self-proclaimed territory.

Treasure of Swanfleet

Well now, this on took some teamwork between myself and the WikiExternal Link (Opens in New Window/Tab)! The Treasure of Swanfleet Deed really does fling you to the farthest reaches of the region. It certainly makes you believe that “Explorer of Swanfleet” is no exaggeration! But a treasure-seeker does not give up, do they? However, it is much more fun with a map, I think. So I’ve made you one – as well as additional screenshots to show where the treasure caches can be found. Enjoy!

TL;DR Take in the Sights and Become the Explorer of Swanfleet!

LOTRO create new stories, group instances, mechanics and gear – yes. But what captured me when I first started playing was the huge world they have designed for us to live in. I have no evidence, but I believe some exploration deeds are made for you and I to actually appreciate that fact. So, as you complete the LOTRO Explorer of Swanfleet Deed, take time to “Stop and Stare”. Finishing deeds is great, but I think we should enjoy the journey – moreso than the destination. However you play, have fun in Middle-Earth.
