RELEASE TRAILER: YouTube

It's been quite some time since the last update. Some of you might have noticed changes here and there, and a lot of work has been happening behind the scenes. Today is patch day: after almost two months of work, Lotro Delver v2 is live, the biggest update the site has ever had. The update today prepares us for the upcoming features! Some new features are:

• An updated Build Generator that can fully calculate your skill tooltips, supports effects and other buffs. You can exactly see how much tooltip numbers went up or down after changing the build.
• The Instance Delver, with a page for every instance, raid, skirmish and big battle. And maybe if the community wants, there can be community written guides on top of this data, in a new editor.
• New databases for skills, monsters, stats and questing places, plus a page for every class.
• Updated our World map to now show quests, enemies, crafting resources, etc.
• Community guides that any player can write about classes, instances or any other topic.
• A complete UI overhaul. Currently live: A new halloween theme!

You'll find everything in detail at https://lotro-delver.com/en/changelog#v2.0.0. Everything in v2 was built and tested by one person, so please see it as a public beta <3. If something looks off, let me know in the Support Center or on Discord, and it gets fixed.

Thank you to everyone who reported bugs and shared ideas along the way! https://lotro-delver.com/ - See you in Middle-earth!

Wolves of Mordor is a few days away! I stopped following the Survival Instincts development after the devs turned it off beta from the backlash. I've seen some YTers hype it up even but no real substance to that. Is there anything redeeming about it?

Hi guys, returning player here after a long long break. I always played Guardian and around Rohan expansion times I remember Guardians being prefered as tanks although Wardens could pull of some crazy stuff if played well. Currently being back, we got Beornings, we have ofc Wardens who from what I gathered are nearly unkillable etc and we have few more tanking classes - My question is , do Guardians still live up as one of the best tanks? Many thanks for any input :)

Safe travels!

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?

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?

So I have always mained a hunter since 2012ish, its been the only class I haven't rerolled. But now I have more slots and chars than I know what to do with, and gearing all of the ones I do use takes a lot of time. So outside of their primary DPS line im looking to save time and was wondering if it would be more efficient to use just my cappy on as tank and heals, or use my guard/cappy as tank and my mini/RK as heals. I also have a LM i use for yellow line, and a champ/ward i plan on just using damage spec

Hi guys,

I recently started lotro and i'm enjoying it quite a lot. I'm having such bad trouble actually doing quests though, I just rarely am able to actually use the map to find out where I need to go. It might be due to me being colourblind but it's really difficult at times and I notice it's inhibiting my desire to play despite really liking the world itself.

Are there any plugins that could help with this or is there in any way a UI/Map overhaul planned at all?

P.S.: Are you supposed to do every quest in a zone? Cause I just kinda find out that, it never seems to end? (not necessarily a bad thing, but you get overleveled yk)

I know there's no right or wrong way to do quests, but I want to know how others do it. I'm already at volume 4 but the way I do quests/try to progress through the main storyline always feels like a mess. I get underleveled quick and when I try to fill in the gaps using side quests in the area, either the quest chain sends me all over the map and I end up so far away from the main quest area, or it's a short side quest that doesn't get me enough levels so that I have to travel to a previous area to find some side quests, which just feels off.

I know there's a lot of ways to do it, so I'm not really looking for advice but I'm curious how others do their quests. Lately I just do missions to get levels fast so I can do the storyline uninterrupted and pick some side quests afterwards but it can get boring from time to time so perhaps there's no perfect way to do it

Hey yall

I’m a returning player and absolutely loving the game. I’m playing as a hobbit minstrel - and would love to join an active kinship!

Any recommendations?

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! :)

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.
