Welcome to the first in my series about the Wildwood of Bree-land region in LOTRO! In this post, I’ll be giving you an overview of its various aspects, helping you to get started and giving you screenshots of the region and some of the rewards. What I will not be doing during this series is giving any story spoilers. Both the main stories are great and I want you to go experience them for yourself!

Screenshots of the Wildwoods
Before I launch into the details about this region in LOTRO, I want to show you some shots of it first. Because gaming should be more than just leveling and making numbers bigger.How to Buy the Questpack Region
According to the Wiki, you can acquire it either:- LOTRO Points: 1,195
- For free while you have VIP Status
Where Do I Start the Wildwoods?
Trestlebridge

Trader’s Wharf

How To Reach the Start of the Wildwood Quests
Before you have earned the return to, muster or guide skills for Trestlebridge and Trader’s Wharf, you’ll need to navigate there yourself. Here’s how:Trestlebridge

By Road
From Bree, take the West Gate and head North. Stick on that path and you’ll eventually reach the Trestlebridge Gate. It is a really lovely ride or walk and will only take a couple of minutes on horseback.By Stablemaster
You can take the Stablemaster (aka “Horse Taxi”, as I call it) from Bree West Gate to Trestlebridge, assuming you’ve already unlocked your destination stables.From Estldin
From the North Downs, take the Stablemaster from Esteldin to Trestlebridge. Again, I’ve assumed a prior visit here. If you haven’t unlocked the Trestlebridge Stablemaster for some reason you could ride or walk all the way from Esteldin to Trestlebridge. But the Bree run feels quicker.Trader’s Wharf

Swim the Brandywine
From the point Bree-land becomes the Shire, swim North up the Brandywine River (as you do during Tale of a Shipwrecked Mariner). The Wharf is on your right (East).Trek & Swim
The nearest Stablemaster is Dwaling (Evendim, 20.8S, 64.7S). Head there, then go East to the shore of the Brandywine and swim across. You’re still in Everswim, remember?By Boat



Unlocking Return To, Musters and Guides
Unlike many reputation factions in Middle-Earth, you only need to acquire Acquaintance standing with the respective factions.Return to Trestlebridge


The Two Wildwood Factions
The reason there are two bases of operations in the Wildwood of Bree-land is because there are two groups interested in it – for two different reasons. They are not at war with each other (as such), they just have different goals – and you can achieve Kindred standing with both sides relatively easily.The Woodcutter’s Brotherhood
TheWoodcutter’s Brotherhood (and sisterhood…) have set up their base at Trestlebridge. This is because their aim is the rebuilding and recovery of the town. And, as the story progresses, you will see small improvements they make too.Wildwood Missions
From Trestlebridge you can also undertake Missions – but note these are not for Woodcutter’s Brotherhood Tokens


The League of the Axe
Enid Nettlesting tells you in your first quest that her people have had to endure a lot of hardship. So they are making a new home for themselves at Trader’s Wharf, and to make a name for themselves. (I’m not going to tell you any more about them as you’ll discover this as you progress the League of the Axe questline!).Sustainable Living
Another priority for the League is to be careful how to use the resources of the Wildwood.Extracting resources from these lands in a way that does not hurt the Wildwood.You’ll have to scout the woods and check out some of the natural resources there to gain admittance to the League.
Wildwood Reputation
You can improve your standings with the Woodcutter’s Brotherhood and the League of the Axe in various ways:Faction-specific Quests


Minda Heathertoes


Daily (10 Quest) Repeatable

Reputation Items
Completion of Deeds
Most LOTRO Wildwoods Deeds do not grant reputation. This is because the nature of them is of benefit to the wood itself, or benefit both factions equally. However, each faction has their own “Complete many quests” deed, which does improve your standing. They grant bonus
/
tokens too.


Wildwood Rewards
As with all reputation vendors in LOTRO, you unlock the ability to barter for items as your standing increases. To be fair, it may take you until Kindred to amass enough Marks of the Wild anyway! Also note some items are for Marks of the Wild

Bree-land Wood-marks (Missions Currency)

When you complete a Bree-land Wildwood Mission in LOTRO, instead of the tokens we’ve already discussed, you are awarded Bree-land Wood-marks
. Think of this like Festivity Tokens, instead of the usual event currency.
You can trade these with Radhril at Trestlebridge. There are a lot of rewards available, including gear relevant to your level. So instead of listing them all here, I’m just going to say visit the Wiki for the full list.

Wildwood of Bree-land Deeds
As with any region in LOTRO, there are a fair few deeds to clear. I will be going into more detail about those in a future post. The main “parent” deeds are (links go to LOTRO-Wiki for now):
- Explorer of the Wildwood
- Quests of the Wildwood
(which includes a separate Missions portion) - Slayer of the Wildwood
(which includes a Mission-slayer deed) - The League of the Wildwood
TL;DR – Jump into the Wildwood of Bree-land Today
I can highly recommend this region. The Wildwood of Bree-land has two fab stories, relaxing scenery and music, and attainable reputation tracks. It’s also a great way to level from L45-50+ as an alternative to running Eriador regions. Now I’ve completed one run fully…I’m starting another one! Go on, jump into the Wildwoods. But mind the wildlife, tomb-robbers, orcs and the usual nasties, alright? All my content will always be freely available. However, if you'd like to support myself and my family, please consider buying us a virtual coffee. Either way, thank you for visiting, I appreciate it!
