Frodo and Bilbo were comfortable and well off until T.A. 3001. At this time, Bilbo threw an enormous party to celebrate his 111th birthday, and Frodo's 33rd, the date of Frodo's coming of age. At this party Bilbo gave his farewell speech, and made his long-planned "disappearance" and withdrawal from
Frodo was born in 1368. When he sets off from the Shire on his journey, he is 50 years old. Samwise Gamgee was born in 1380, making him 12 years younger than Frodo.
At the end of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo sets sail for the Undying Lands, which implies that he will live in peace and harmony for all eternity. This is where the immortal Elves come from (most recently) and where they return to when they find that their work in Middle-earth is done.
Frodo came of age as Bilbo left the Shire. Frodo inherited Bag End and Bilbo's ring. Gandalf, uncertain about the origin of the ring, warned Frodo to avoid using it and to keep it secret. Frodo kept it hidden for the next seventeen years, and it gave him the same longevity it had given Bilbo.
As for Frodo's delay in the book, that was intentional because neither he nor Gandalf felt he should leave right away. That would stir up interest in his intentions and activities. And so Frodo proposed in April 3018 that he leave Bag End on his fiftieth birthday in September.
Of the Ring-bearers, three were alive after the Ring's destruction, the hobbits Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam. Bilbo, having borne the Ring the longest, had his life much prolonged. Frodo was scarred physically and mentally by his quest. Sam, having only briefly kept the Ring, was affected the least.
He had already celebrated his 131st birthday, becoming the oldest Hobbit in the history of Middle-earth. As a mortal, he died in the West. While sailing west, Bilbo composed a last poem looking back on Middle-earth in farewell.
Over the next 17 years, Gandalf travels extensively, searching for answers on the ring. He finds some answers in Isildur's scroll, in the archives of Minas Tirith. Gandalf searches long and hard for Gollum, often assisted by Aragorn, who eventually succeeds in capturing Gollum.
What happened to Gandalf when he died? When Gandalf died, his divine being left his set physical form, and about 20 days later, he was returned to life. “Darkness took me;” he says to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in The Two Towers, “and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell.
Sam never put on the Ring in the movies, but in the books, he actually carried the Ring for two days, even putting in on a few times to hide from Orcs.
And Tolkein himself confirms this in his own private letters, where he makes it clear that Frodo and his friend Sam (who is also eventually granted a place in Valinor) would always be mere mortals and would eventually succumb to death even if they were to remain in The Undying Lands.
He died at the age of 210, after 122 years as king. The graves of the hobbits Merry and Pippin (who had died in Gondor 58 years earlier) were set beside his. He was succeeded on the throne by his son, Eldarion. Arwen, heartbroken by the loss of her husband, died shortly afterwards in Lothlórien.
Aman was known somewhat misleadingly as "the Undying Lands", but the land itself does not cause mortals to live forever. However, only immortal beings were generally allowed to reside there.
Gandalf's age is impossible to determine, but he's likely existed for at least 10,000 years, making him much older than Legolas.
Legolas was portrayed by Orlando Bloom. In the "official movie guide" for The Lord of the Rings, a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the Third Age. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the War of the Ring. This date for Legolas' birth was made up by the movie writers.
In The Hobbit films, Gandalf says that time has effected him in age, while it has not done the same to Galadriel (not canon to the books, but I'm still curious why Peter Jackson would put this in). Gandalf has been in his old-man form for 3000 years. Being a Maia, it's not meant for time to effect him.
Gandalf wasn't in Middle Earth at the time. The Battle of the Last Alliance took place at the end of the Second Age, and the arrival of the Ishtari (Wizards) from Valinor took place at around the year 1000 of the Third Age.
So in Two Towers Gandalf says he has been around for 300 lives of Men. He is 2019 years old so that means average life expectancy of humans is 6.73 years.
It began in September TA 3018 when Frodo set out for Rivendell, which he finally reached on October 20. From there it took five months until the One Ring and Sauron were finally destroyed on March 25 of TA 3019. In total, it took 11 months, one week, and six days for the One Ring to be destroyed.
The Rings of Power in the Second Age. About 500 years into the Second Age, Sauron reappeared, intent on taking over Middle-earth and ruling it as a God-King.
Bilbo doesn't significantly age until after the ring is destroyed. There is very little in the book that would indicate that he aged any quicker just because the ring was no longer in his possession.
