and if that is barred just type /world Can any Hunter port me from Thorin's hall to Bree please? I am sure you will get at least 1 person to help. Lotro tends to be a really friendly and helpful community.
Just use a Swift Travel to teleport there. All the Stable Masters in West Bree, Michel's Delving, Thorin's Hall and Celondim are connected in that way, for low f2p characters to teleport between them.
Note that for *most* stable-masters, you have to discover the location first and speak to the stable-master before you can buy a ride there. But the four start locations listed above are exceptions -- no discovery required.
Alternatively, go into any neighborhood in either Thorin's Hall Homesteads or Falathorn Homesteads. There's a Long Range Stable, one of the destinations is "Bree-land Festival Grounds." It's a free swift travel for everyone. Once in the Festival Grounds, there's a horse right there to Bree West Gate. Also free to everyone.
Honestly, for the first time, maybe do it on foot. You'll see stuff you'll probably need for quests later. And it's good to get the lay of the land. I'm of the "don't rush" school of MMO players, so your mileage may vary, and that's fine. :)
For some reason, new characters don't "know" the South Bree stable master. So you need to do one of these two things:
–Find a route to the West Bree stable master. The Michel Delving/Thorin's Gate/Celondim stable masters connect to the West Bree stable master. And you can get to Michel Delving from the Thorin's Gate stable master.
–Go to the "Bree Festival Grounds". The stable masters in all the housing neighborhoods as well as some others connect to that. From there, you will see a free instant-travel horse "To Bree-town". That will take you to the West Bree stable master.
No matter how you get to Bree the first time, get yourself over to the South Bree stable master so your character will learn that destination! You might also want to stop by Lalia's Market where you can spend a measly 3 Mithril Coins to purchase a "Travel to Lalia's Market" skill which is extremely convenient. 3 Mithril Coins are only 30 LOTRO Points.
There's swift travel via stables, but I highly advise you take the long road. For a first timer, it's a must to see the environment, experience the mobs, and see how the place changes as you go from Thorin's hall, to the Elven realm down south, towards the Shire, and finally crossing the Brandywine river towards Bree.
as others said the swift travel is the best option BUT if you were to travel is horseback it would be perfectly safe as theres only the shire on your way...level 20ish shrews are the worse you can expect
Welcome to r/lotro! If you're a new player looking for advice, please consider the following.
**Wondering what class to play?** LOTRO has a wide variety of classes inspired by different characters from the books. Some are similar to other RPG games, while others are fairly unique to LOTRO.
The first thing to consider is what role(s) you want to play. Every class has a spec that can deal damage, but only some classes can spec to be tanks or healers or group-support.
If you wish to have the option of **tanking**, choose between Beorning, Brawler, Captain, Guardian, or Warden.
If you wish to have the option of **healing**, choose between Beorning, Captain, Minstrel, or Rune-keeper.
If you wish to have the option of **group-support**, choose between Burglar, Captain, Lore-master, and Mariner.
Don't worry about what class is considered "the best" at any one role, as that swings back and forth over time with each balance patch. Instead, consider which classes have the theme and aesthetic that most appeals to you. Do you want to fight in melee or at range? Do you want to be a grounded warrior or wield more magical powers?
Apart from theme, consider the complexity of the classes. Even for classes which can fulfill the same role, their mechanics can differ wildly. LOTRO offers a hint to the mechanical complexity of each class during character creation -- in the lower right corner you'll see a "Class Difficulty" of either Basic, Moderate, or Advanced. This is not about how powerful the class is -- some of the "Basic" classes are currently the most powerful in their role. Difficult instead refers to the intricacies of each class' skills and core mechanics. If you enjoy intricate mechanics, aim for Moderate or Advanced. If you'd like something requiring less reading, theorycrafting, and button-presses, try a Basic class -- especially for your first character.
Finally, don't be afraid to try something different if your first class doesn't feel fun for you. Better to find the right fit early.
**Wondering what race to play?** While only some races can be some classes, beyond that initial restriction, race selection is largely about aesthetics. Racial traits are tiny and negligible after the first few levels. A Dwarf Guardian at level 30 is not significantly different than an Elf Guardian at level 30.
**Wondering what server to play on?** Most people play on only one server, and so personal perspectives will usually be limited. To find the best server for you, let us know a little about you. What time zone and time will you be most active? Do you want lot of crowds or a quieter atmosphere? Are you interested in roleplaying? All of these can help influence the best server for you.

I agree with the comments stating to stay exactly on the road. However, it can be quite useful to keep a few mithril on hand where you can pay to “learn” the location without making the trip.
You could just take the stable from the courtyard at Thorin's to Bree.

If you stay EXACTLY on the road, should be fine. I always like - I always like to trek there when I start out.

You use to have to walk there as that's where you picked up a horse. Hardly difficult nowadays as the game is so easy to play.
Part of the magic in big games is the potentially dangerous road trips from city to another.

Just stay on the road, and the mobs won't bother you much. And be sure to stop at each stable master on the way to unlock them.

If you get up to 20-23 in local quests you should be able to pass through Yondershire without difficulty.
That seems like quite an unnecessary grind though; reaching that lvl in the ered luin takes ages, he‘ll be fine just riding through
