I work all deferent hour and on anywhere from 1 hour to 5 hours with no set schedule. I currently have a 12 level champion.
I was told after level 20 its very hard to solo and some case you can not. I wondering if it true. Any import will help.

It is very true...once you get to about esteldin you will find that you will need a group for nearly all the quests. And once you get to above 40 you will see no solo quests. So level up slowly.

Well, I'm 36 guardian myself, and i found that in esteldin a lot of people ask for fellowships on quests that are soloable, granted you at the very least on the level of the quest. it just take a lot of cunning and patience.
Also, even though the game isn't as populated as some other games out there, for most quests you can find groups easily enough. there are always people leveling alts in those regions. I just solo'd the soloable missions, and when I saw somebody asking for a group quest i needed to do, do it.
Don't know about past 40 though, the 36 guardian is my main.

I went 1-30 in the span of less than a month playing casually and arrived at estelin.
Still plenty of Solo quests left to get me to about 34-35ish all over the world.
Also grinding is always a option and rested xp bonus comes fairly quickly if you level other toons in the meantime (I have a guardian alt I'm working on as well).
40+ is where a large part of the player base is so I don't think you need to worry about finding a group.

Despite what some people say, you can find solo content all the way to level 50. When you need to do a fellowship quest, put it on the back burner and keep your eyes open on the LFF channel. I PuG-ed my way through most of the Epic Books' fellowship quests on several characters. Many of the 'fellowship' quests only require 2 or 3 people in practice and the major fellowship quests usually have many people wanting to do them so be patient.
A word of advise at level 12. You do not want to level up in one starting zone. Make sure you do quests in Erud Luin, The Shire, and Combe/Bree and get started on deeds in these areas while the xp earned is beneficial. You earn traits for completing a certain number of quests in each area.
Also do not be too quick to jump to higher level zones if you are mainly solo. Much easier to fight blue mobs than yellow, especially if you need to defeat 2 or more at once (with no help). Your champion should serve you well with this.

I have found no solo content after 40 that would get all the way to 50 on your own. It's actually impossible to do.

Are you sure about that...the largest player base is in the 10-30. I always have a problem getting groups with my 50 which is one of the reasons i only play him on the weekends.

I don't know where you have gotten your information, much less your misconceptions but I took a hunter from 1 to 50 and was solo almost the entire time. I loathe pickup groups and can count the guild groups I've been in on two hands with a finger or two left over!
As far as the level range that contains the most players, Turbine gives out no figures and I doubt whether there is a valid source for your information. Just because you claim it's a fact don't make it so!
None of the 50s I know have any trouble finding groups what so ever. In fact, they all seem to be grouped whenever I'm on so maybe your problem is a more personal one...
To the OP - I often play at odd hours & enjoy soloing and yes, you should be able to make it to 50 without ever needing a group (I did!). You won't see the heroic content - the raid zones and some of the tougher instances but unless you're the "I have to see EVERYTHING" kind of player, that won't detract very much from your gaming experience. So dig in and enjoy!

You can mostly solo the Tal Bruinen content starting at level 40. You might need help killing the trolls for one quest and the wolfmen for another but I did it mostly solo on 4 characters. Gollem encounter IS solo only.
For My captain who is level 44:
Levels 35-40 Evendim. Mostly Solo. Help with Wolfmen and Giant quests (one other person). Tomb of Elendil and Theif-taker's Bane are the notable fellowship quests that need a FULL fellowship. I have only done these on 2 of 5 characters.
40-45 Misty Mountains, Aughaire, Tal Bruinen, Gerbiltown (East Angmar). Many quests given in Rivendell, the run up to Misty and Gloin's camp. Some are just go look and report back (survive hehe). Earth Kin camp in Angmar and the Hillman camp, many are soloable and many fellowship quests need only 2 or 3 and everyone is doing those.
For my other level 50 characters:
45+ High Pass of MM. Goblin Town you need at least 2 or 3 but lots of the chains are solo-able to start. East Angmar--GF/Himbar, many are soloable but hairy, you need to be real patient. 47+ in Himbar since many mobs are level 49-50. Your level 45 class quests can be done mostly solo until you get to the end and need parts from CD and Uru. But these parts are also tradable sometimes decent price sometimes not.
Got help with the fellowship parts of Books 4-8, but many chapters solo.
Whine all you want about no solo content past 40. I have 5 characters 40+, 3 are level 50 and I could solo as much as needed. You have to be patient and willing to try things. I tried to solo the Queen Mother in Trollshaws but that was a bad idea hehe...wasn't her but her brood that made it impossible.
Some classes lend well to soloing past 40 I will grant you that. I had no trouble with my burglar, loremaster and hunter. My Capt is 44 and not faring badly. Minstrel is 42 and does fine solo especially with the new War-Stance.
From what I gather Champions solo well, so it is only the Guardian I do not know about solo.
You may end up doing blue or light blue quests but the 1-2K xp adds up.
Seriously, if you had to, you could solo 1-50, it would not be easy but it is not impossible or even impossibly hard.

Thank you for all you advice I think I give it a shoot since i do like challenges in my leveling Like In WoW I always try to do group quest before find one.

That's not true I took a Hunter from 40 to 50 in Agmar soloing my pages for ledgendary books.

Yopu mean grinding monsters, yes that is a way of doing it but i was talking about quests and that which is a much faster and less boring way to do it. Grinding monsters is oh so very tiresome that your brain circuits would of probably melted after doing it.
The new Book 12 update that is coming in about a week is supposed to add a lot more solo content for lower levels.

Well there is loads of solo content for lower levels, it should bring more solo content for high levels. Then there would actually be something to do when your 50.

it's not just grinding for the sake of grinding, there is a purpose to the killing. getting the exp while you kill for page drops is much better than rushing to 50 and then having to do the same thing, with no kind of apparent benefit to your character other than getting the drop..eventually.

Well said. The time went pretty fast I was watching for page drops and not the exp bar.
