Instances
Group Instances
Inside Moria there are seven important 6-player instances: Fil-gashan (FG), Forges of Khazad-dûm (Forges), Grand Stair (GS), Halls of Crafting (HoC), Skumfil (Skum), 16th Hall (16th), and Dark Delvings (DD). Each of them has different loot rewards and involving quests. These instances may be completed in two modes, Normal and Hard mode. Hard mode will reward the group with even more Medallions of Moria, coins that can be bartered for one sole piece of a class-specific gear set. For example, completing Grand Stairs in hard mode will reward each player with a total of 7 Medallions which can be accumulated and then bartered by any class for a piece of the class-specific gear set of their choice.
Also, two new three-mans have been added with Book 8. The Mirror-Halls of Lumul-nar(HoM), where bats and evil merrevail have occupied them. The merrevail seek to forever extinguish the light of the dwarf-mirrors and bring darkness once more to Moria. Nâla-dûm (The Water-Wheels), among it were the great Water-works which funneled water from the mountains into the halls of Moria. The chief engine of this process lay within the chambers known as Nâla-dûm.
Aside from those, there are currently three raids that can be completed with a 12-player group. Harazgund, where the Watcher in the Water is found; Dâr Narbugud, where the Mistress of Pestilence seeks to bring her plague to the world of light; and Filikul, where a giant turtle dwells.
There are also over ten instances which may be completed by players. They involve part of the Epic story or may be quest related.
Solo Instances
There are several instances that can only be completed by one person. Some are a new addition in Book 7 which are commonly called Crafting Instances. These instances reward the player with several resources used in crafting and with barter tokens that may be exchanged for several goods.
There are also several solo instances which involve part of the epic story or may be quest related.

Famous quotes containing the word instances:
“There are instances when we are like horses, we psychologists, and grow restless: we see our own shadow wavering up and down before us. A psychologist must look away from himself in order to see anything at all.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The child begins life as a pleasure-seeking animal; his infantile personality is organized around his own appetites and his own body. In the course of his rearing the goal of exclusive pleasure seeking must be modified drastically, the fundamental urges must be subject to the dictates of conscience and society, urges must be capable of postponement and in some instances of renunciation completely.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Do not be discouraged, if in a thousand instances you find your kindness rejected and wronged, your good evil-spoken of, and the hand you extend for the relief of others, cast insultingly away; the benevolence which cannot outlive these trials of its purity and strength, is not like the self-sacrifice of him, who went about doing good.”
—C., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 331-4 (July 1828)
