What is the fastest, easiest way to earn Adventure Points?

Also, is there a simplified guide that lists all the LDoNs?

Thanks!

EDIT: To specifically answer your question, do hard missions if lower than 65 average group level for double the points per adventure. Pick a theme that is good for your class(es). Using the LDoN pets can help, but may also take up some time, if they don't turn into pets. If you do get a pet early on, it will make killing faster, and assuming your tank keeps the mobs close and aggro'd the pet should live for quite awhile before deciding it's had enough and quits on you. I've had them last the entire adventure, when doing them in 30mins or less.

Some Everfrost (Miragul's Menagerie) adventures have terrible bright lightning. There are pathing bugs in some instances, especially ones with very high steps. It's good to keep some sort of way to gate / port out, as the exit doors have been known to be buggy at times.

If you're looking for some specific item or spell from the adventure merchants, you should stick to that theme until you have accumulated enough points for that theme to buy the highest item you want, then you can move to different / easier themes for addition purchasing points from the original theme.

LDoN – Lost Dungeons of Norrath Expansion

LDoNs are instanced dungeons, designed primarly for groups, but some raids are also available.

Requirements / Limitations:

• Minimum number of members: 3 (including mercenaries) / 6 for raids
• Maximmum number of members: 6 (including mercenaries) / 42? for raids
• Group (Raid) Leader is only one who can request an Adventure.
• Level Limits:
1. Minimum Average Level: 18 (not including mercs) but Group Leader must be 20 or higher.
2. So it seems you need an average group level of 18+. Mercs do not count towards the average, only actual players (divide by # of players, not players + mercs) from https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/chaenz-abella-from-the-wayfarers.213489/page-3#post-3123498
3. Minimum Level: 15 or maybe lower
4. Maximum Average Level: 82 100+ They have to keep upping it every expansion.
5. Group (Raid) Level Span: 10 upto a maximum level of 75, slightly more, as max group member level goes above 75.
• Time: 90 Minutes to complete for a Full Win, 120 Minutes for a Partial Win (Partial Win, is you get a few Adventure points, but does not count toward your Adventure Wins statistics or Adventurer’s Stone progression, but rather a loss) starting from the time the first member enters the instance.
• Re-request timer: 45 minutes
• Difficulty: Normal or Hard (Hard is automatic, when Average Level is 65+)
1. Normal, the mob levels are slightly less and somewhat easier, while Hard is more challenging, but with double the Adventure Points earned for a successful adventure.

Points:

• Although it is now allowed to spend points at any camp, you still have to have earned about as many points as the item for that Camp. In other words, if you wish to get the Icy Prism of Avoidance from the Mirgul’s Menagerie (Everfrost) camp, you will need to have earned at least 760 (maybe slightly less) points in that Scenario / Camp, even if you no longer have that many points available from that camp, but do from combinations of other camps.

Mission Types:

1. Mob Count:
• Kill a random number of mobs of appropriate level, generally between 50 and 60 mobs
2. Collect:
• Collect (Loot) a random number of items off of mobs.
3. Rescue:
• Find an NPC and have them follow you out without dieing
4. Single Boss:
• Find and kill a specific named
5. Random:
• Random version of any one of the four above types

Special Mobs and Objects:

• Injured / Cincealed / etc. mobs that are green or grey cons, can be awoken (get them up from lying down) by kicking them, or any single, instant low-damage attack. They will either attack, spawn many other mobs and attack, die (if you do too much damage), or stand up. Once standing you can say Follow to them, and they will most times become a stupid enchanter-like pet but do descent amount of damage.
• Crates, Boxes, Bone piles, Chests, etc. can offer special items, but are often trapped. Traps can be disarmed with various techniques, depending on the trap, including Rog skill Disarm Traps / Pick Locks for Ironbound traps, and Caster spells via Wuggan’s or Xalirilan's for Wizzies for Spellbound traps, and Priest spells via Reebo's or Iony's for Clerics for Hexed traps
• Traps are found in all the adventures, and are often marked on maps, which is one of the reasons Rogues were highly sought after for such missions when they were new.

You know the strange thing is, I usually get them mixed up, and actually double-checked them when I was writing them up, but still wrote em down wrong :D Thanks.
