With all the changes we’ve seen since the Free to Play launch, we thought it was about time to update our Instance Join Reference Sheet.
This listing shows all the available instances in LOTRO and the following information:
- the recommended level or scalability of the dungeon
- what typical abbreviation is used in-game when looking for a group
- fellowship size
- which quest pack the dungeon is tied to
It’s designed to be a print out you pin up near your computer for quick reference to see when you’re eligible for a dungeon while leveling or if you simply do not remember all the abbreviations (like me).
Changes since the last version:
- removed the column for radiance required
- marked Lone Lands dungeons as free
- lowered Annuminas instance scaling to starting at level 40
- added the 5 new Update 2 dungeons.
I’ve completely replaced the old PDF file with the new version since I saw no reason for the old list to remain on the site and potentially confuse folks.

You say that the level is not a requirement, only a suggestion.
Actually, the leader of the Fellowship must be at least the minimum level or the fellowship will not be able to enter the instance.
Every other member of the fellowship can be whatever level they want though.

The actual line is “Those without ranges have the recommended level for the dungeon listed. This is not a requirement to enter the dungeon simply a suggested level to attempt the dungeon.”
Meaning: Garth Agarwen is listed as level 32 on the listing. That is the recommended level for the dungeon. This is not a dungeon only for those level 32 (as in at 33 you can no longer do it).

You’re right. I mis-interpreted that line. Sorry

Also, I don’t know since I bought all the content already, but there are some differences between your list and Mmorsel’s list (http://lotro.mmorsel.com/2010/08/instances-by-level.html), mostly in the Moria Expension list (they say that some of them require the Lothlorien QuestPack…?)

Oh yes I had forgotten they had broken Lothlorien out into its own quest pack. I will have to correct that. Thank you

Correction made!
