However, LOTRO has just changed from a more traditional subscription model of pay-to-play to a new free-to-play model, with optional microtransactions.

These microtransactions are fueled by Turbine Points, which act as a way to purchase content.

Turbine Points (TP) can be earned in-game, as well as purchased through the online store.

Luckily, Turbine Points do not have to be purchased, but can be earned through regular in game playing.

But what are the easiest ways to earn Turbine Points in LOTRO.

This will transport your character to the regular new player starting areas, where there will be a one-time per server quest available.

This quest is easiest for Dwarven characters, as the quest giver is immediately to the left of the new character spawn.

Click on the quest giver and follow the dialogue options and you receive 10 free Turbine Points, for a total of 270 Turbine Points for each server.

Start a character you want to actually play, and begin questing.

Turbine Points are earned through several regular gameplay mechanics, including leveling up as well as completing Deeds.

Deeds in LOTRO range from completing 10 quests in a given zone, to finding each farm in the Shire, to killing 60 wolves in a certain area.

Either way, most of these deeds can be completed through regular playing and exploring the beautiful game world.

However, there are some Deeds that are easier than others, that every character should complete.

A level 15 character can run through these farms and easily complete this Deed in 15 minutes, for a combined 15 TP.

Focusing on the easy Deeds above can help as well, but earning Turbine Points through regular play allows new players to find out what kind of characters they like to play, and what areas of Middle Earth they want to take their characters through.
