A good point to start would be the town gates of your own home town. In Free Race towns, at each of the town gates there is a helpful ranger who can lead you to various quests. He will start with the adventurer's caves, a special "training" area for new players that contains four quests. See if you can find them all! In Evil Race towns, at the town gates you may find veteran sniffers who will tell you about quests available in the town itself.

Try to find quests in your town and/or other towns you can reach through the "travelto" command. For any NPC that does not look very "generic", try to wait in the same room for a while to see if it says something about needing help or having a problem that needs solving. If it does, try asking about it using the "ask <npc> about <topic>" command. Chances are that after a few questions and answers you will learn what the quest is! Apart from asking NPCs, careful looking at room descriptions can lead you to a quest as well. If there is a quest action in the room, it will usually be hinted at in a description. For example, if you see a description like "This picture looks like it was moved recently.", it is likely that "move picture" might give you another hint.

You should try exploring the wilderness. The "map" command can prove very helpful, as it will display you some more significant quest areas like villages, farms, camps and the like. Just use it and move from one red "*" to another to see what you can find! If you wish to find the less obvious places (usually with more interesting rewards), though, you will have to put in more legwork. Such places can usually only be found by looking for special exits or clues in the room's generic description which may be slightly different from the ones around it.

Quest points are simply the quests you have completed: you get one point per quest completed. To see what quests you have done, just type "quests". Quests come in two types: tracked and non-tracked. Tracked quests can be found in East Arda and beyond, while non-tracked quests are in West Arda and Far Harad. The "tracked" name comes from the fact that they will be counted toward "legend top questers", a list of players who completed the most quests. West Arda and Far Harad are excluded as they are not accessible by all of our players.
