LOTRO Explorer of the Shire Deeds

LOTRO Explorer of the Shire Deed

Following on from my Shire Slayer Deed post, I’m now going to cover the Explorer of the Shire deed. You can achieve this deed by completing The Sights of the Shire and Farms of the Shire.

Unlike many achievements that require you finding and destroying numbers of foes, exploration deeds mean just that – go for a wander and find points of interest in Middle-Earth. That’s not to say you will have an enemy-free time, especially if you’re on-level, but that you can enjoy the wandering as you explore!

I have provided screenshots of each of the sights and farms. If you want to see a larger screenshot, simply click/tap on the smaller image to open it up.

The Sights of the Shire Deed

Visiting the Sights of the Shire is a bit like being a tourist! What things are Hobbit-folk the most pleased with (excluding their food production, see below!). If you want to become an Explorer of the Shire then your first Deed is to find six of The Shire’s hottest tourist sports!


Sights of the Shire Deed Rewards

  • LOTRO Points × 5 LOTRO Points
  • Marks × 30 Marks
  • Virtue XP +2,000 Virtue Experience
  • Reputation +500 (Mathom Society)

Farms of the Shire Deed

As everyone knows, The Shire would not function without food! Therefore finding the Farms of the Shire, that supply hungry hobbits with all their myriad meals, is of great cultural importance! Therefore, the second part of the Explorer of the Shire deed is to visit these all-important farms, not all of them friendly nowadays!

Some of these farms also intersect with various Shire Slayer Deeds.

Explorer of the Shire Deed Map

Once you’ve made it through the Sights and Farms of the Shire, you will have unlocked Explorer of the Shire with its rewards. To help you locate these landmarks, I’ve put together a Deed Map for you. Feel free to save this to your device for future reference!

Deed Rewards

  • Marks × 100 Marks
  • 3 × Rejuvination Potions
  • Virtue XP +2,000 Virtue Experience
  • Reputation +900 (Mathom Society)

TL;DR Go and Enjoy the Shire Exploration Deeds

The Farms and Sights of the Shire send you across much of what is a rather large starter region. In theory, if you do many of the side-quests you’ll hit these location automatically. If you’re just interested in clearing the deeds for LOTRO Points LOTRO Points, however, you can use my map to speed your way through. As always if I’ve missed something or have made any other mistake, please let me know so I can correct it. That way the community can enjoy the Shire Exploration Deeds even more!
