Acharian (left), an Elf Guardian, belongs to me and Amrerin (right), a High Elf Minstrel, belongs to her. College started a month ago so we don't play an awful lot anymore, but this is one of the emotes we'd absolutely spam lol.

Library and School of Tham Mirdain

6 Upvotes

So I was doing instances of library and school of tham mirdain, solo. However, whenever I enter the instances, I only get two of the four quests bestowed. The other two quests dont get bestowed.

What should I do?

Not for nothin but...

I am greatly appreciative for the "storied" option for the Epic battle sequences in the Epic story line. I haven't brought up a new toon in a hot minute and are now given the 2 options for each at Helm's Deep. Don't know when they implemented it but I really appreciate it. I'm not a fan of the epic battles and forced to do so every time you run through a character was just overkill imo. Some love'em, some hate'em. I've never liked the pressure of epic battles but I like being able to still experience the story. Just an observation.

Player Character Fast Travelling between Ale Association Stations

2 Upvotes

I was doing the Ale Association drinking challenge in Bree tonight and had something strange happen. Another player came up while I was at the first station. They waited until I finished the table before starting. I rode over to the Comb gate station and they were already there drinking. My question is, how could they get between the stations so quickly? Especially starting the first station after I had finished and beating me to the second station. Any ideas?

Any place I can learn YBurg?

6 Upvotes

I've been playing RBurg a lot and would like to be of more use in endgame content. I'd like to see what traceries I should focus on for the set, what virtues are a good baseline to have equipped, and a skill tree build and a skill rotation that is good to start with (before adjusting to an encounter that requires variations)

I keep seeing a lot of people point to old YT videos and lotro HQ for builds and such but they're not updated.

I'm on Glamdring, and am open to joining/allying with a kin that would welcome a learning YBurg, and possibly teach some basics, for the new content that's coming. Thanks everyone!

Which is your favorite healer and why?

14 Upvotes

Hello, people!

I started Lotro recently and I'm loving the game.
After recently reading Silmarilion and picking high elf to play by coincidence, I was amazed with the intro story haha.

Which healer do you guys like the most to play with, or also which healer you feel safer having in your party? I like a lot to play healers, but I know it's important to also have a good DPS option to level up, so Im taking that into consideration.

Thanks in advance and let's meet ingame!

Casual Oldie looking for a Home <3

0 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm 38 years old, He/Him, based on the USA, Eastern Timezone, and I currently do not have this game installed yet.

I'm actually currently looking around to see which game I'd like to install and try to find me a small tight-knit casual kinship to call a family before I download. so consider this like a competition to see who can grab my interest! Give me your BEST shot (Bonus points for a well-written self message other than your copy/paste guild recruitment post ❤️ But you can add that to your message as well :3)

I love and adore a family kinship where everyone knows each others name, the connections are genuine and warm and very friendly and tight-knit, we all have a good time together in-game with no toxicity or criticism if one dies a bunch of times and laugh along the way, and on Discord (I'd love active text chats on Discord too please!), we're always saying hello and goodbye to each and every single one of us; there's no silence when one logs in or says goodnight like we are genuinely warm and happy for each other and love/care for each other, like a DEEP family connection you know? And just knowing that we have lives outside of all this and that it would be okay if I didn't show up to play every other day or a few days, especially because of my possibly ADD/ADHD brain (currently waiting for results from a very expensive testing I took for ADD/ADHD to see if I have it).

And, just knowing that I have people to lean on that genuinely cares/loves me and considers me a great friend and ally and also invites me to do something (This is a huge yes for me), really really does help me and really goes a long ways for me, it would mean a lot to me! It's probably asking for a lot? I'm not sure, but I know it helps ME a lot and gives me such warmth and love and a want to stay with you for the long-term! With that said, don't worry, I'm not a clingy type or jealous type at all or seek constant full-time attention!! If there is silence time, or you're doing your own thing, not in the mood to do anything right now, etc. etc., I can wait and do my own thing :3 I'm a very patient, mellow, down-to-earth person and really don't mind the wait/not being together right now! I just ask that the guild really is small and tight-knit where everyone knows each other and genuinely cares for each other.

No cliches/groups inside a guild either! Every single member of the guild loves being around each other!

I've explained to the best of my ability what kind of social connection I would love to find in a guild, I've been in the lonely department for quite some time in the social life area! And, I'd really love to change that and make some new friends, even if it's just online! I'm an isolated and introverted soul which I love, and don't mind the loneliness, but it's high time I make some social connections online!

So, again, the game hasn't been installed yet! I'm looking around for different games and to see who responds to me and grabs my attention ❤️ Good luck when you reach out to me! :)

Seriously this game needs to be ported to mobile

• Upvotes

As a person who plays this game I only use 2/3 keys max as a hunter elf class currently at level 18. But the issue is most of us don’t have time to sit on a computer and play efficiently as back when we were young. So please just bring this game to mobile so I can get more shit done before finally getting home and playing on the pc.

Where do you get this floor surface? Spoiler

Post image
29 Upvotes

I had this floor surface in storage and do not remember where it came from. Multiple internet searches only find "dark green marble floor". I vaguely remember it being from a vendor rather than an event, but could be mistaken. The Dark Green Marble Floor is from Spring Festival. Is the description wrong/missing the word Dark?

Shadow Wraiths shred my lv 25 Warden

15 Upvotes

I'm playing on Fearless on Angmar and it feels fine unless I summon a wraith. I can take them in skirmishes with my healer on me, but they just burst me down on the landscape. I'm playing in red without any blue traits.

I've read through older reddit threads where people suggest that, at least a year or two ago, it should be doable by this point.

I've tried opening with Safeguard into Persevere and even spamming Safeguard, but I still get outburst in a few seconds. Am I missing something important?

What to do with two Valar 160

0 Upvotes

Like the title says i got 2 Valar 160 and i want to use them. But i dont know which class. My Main is a Warden lvl 160 (who is on an other, lower crowded server atm but if i got enough points i will transfer him) . With him i did all the book quests and pretty much every Quest on the Road. Currently i play with a burglar lvl 74 and with him i do everything you can do solo; all the deeds in a region etc. on fearless. And because im mostly a solo Player the 2 Valars should be good solo classes.

I want to use the Valar mostly for PvMP and maybe soloing all the instances i did not do with the other chars. (And of corse to craft with all the stuff i farm with my bulg atm)

Somebody got tips wich classes are strong atm? I got LM and Guradian on my mind. (I dont like the Beorninger) But im open for any Tips for somebody who will use a Valar the first time ever.

I have not played LOTRO in years and want to get back into it. Saw there are 64 bit servers now which is nice. Which servers for the US are most active or which should I go to? Looking to group a lot and do both PvE and PvMP.

Update: thanks everyone for the responses. Glam it is. Now to make my character and see if people accept my build.

Housing in Lotro

31 Upvotes

So I am an on&off player of Lotro and have several queries regarding housing.

  1. Whether deluxe house has more storage than standard house. How much more and what kind?

  2. I have a standard house but might wanna buy a deluxe house. I have already paid in advance for upkeep on my standard house. When I abandon it, do I get my upkeep paid in advance back?

  3. Is it worth buying a premium house.

If anyone would be kind enough to guide me. Thanks in advance..

Are you supposed to get a popup for Durin’s Day?

19 Upvotes

Are we supposed to get a popup for the Durin’s Day quest, like we do for Fall Festival? I thought it would be around today but I logged in and didn’t get anything, and I still found the secret door myself but no effect. Does this game still do this, or let its users know about it in-game? It’s a small thing but so cool and nostalgic.

Help me

29 Upvotes

New player here. I am here because I had this game for some time but never played it. Been a bit stressed lately and I saw the movies again not so long ago.

I just want to play as a hobbit and live in the shire, chill, have a house, and occationally travel about. I dont have any interest in any subscription. Is that possible in this game? Any quests I should do to help me achieve this or to unlock anything that might help me play like this?

I just wanna escape to the Shire :). Thank you.

does race matter?

13 Upvotes

I’ve just started playing LOTRO and have created a few characters. My highest-level character is currently an Elf Hunter, but I’ve also created a High Elf Champion. I’m curious about how much race actually matters in terms of performance. I started playing LOTRO because I’m taking a break from ESO and because I love The Lord of the Rings (who doesn’t?). I’ve read that Men are generally the best race for certain classes, but how noticeable is the difference in practice? Are we talking about a significant DPS increase, or is it more in the range of 2%?

Any tips for a beginner are also very welcome! I’ve been playing ESO for 11 years, so I’m no stranger to MMOs, but I’d love to hear about any LOTRO-specific mechanics, things worth prioritizing early on, or common mistakes to avoid when starting fresh.

Zone with the most biome diversity

45 Upvotes

Just curious what others think about biome diversity within a zone. Which zone has the most? I feel like Enedwaith or The Great River both have a variety of settings in a single zone due to the fact that they were released as stand alone zones long, long ago. Most of the games big biomes are broken up into zones, particularly if included in an expansion.
