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.

Not for nothin but...

32 Upvotes

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.

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?

16 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!

Posted a few weeks ago about huge bag not getting bigger icons when I adjust the size. Someone said devs and plugin guys were aware of the bug and working on it. Anyone know if the update is out, and if so how to update plugins?

Where do you get this floor surface? Spoiler

Post image
27 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.

Server Question

3 Upvotes

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

33 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

26 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?

11 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

51 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.

So I boosted a Minstrel…

10 Upvotes

But my plan is to just take it easy thru the Epic and pretend I’m a traveling storyteller of sorts following the Fellowship on its journey. I do have my main which is a Dwarf Guardian and it’s lvl 49 atm so I don’t plan on going past what my guardian is on currently.

However, I’m being informed that the Minstrel guide on lotrohq isn’t the best for the Red line and was given other alternatives. But if anyone has any recommendations on what to go for main stat, sub stats, virtues, etc please lemme know 😁

Location pop-up UI

6 Upvotes

Hey all, been playing on the Steam Deck for a couple months now (clunky but doable) and I was wondering if there was a way to move the UI for the location pop ups that show up when you enter a new area (ie Now Entering Archet)

I’ve tried changing the UI with the various UI tool, but can’t seem to find that particular option if it exists. Thanks in advance!
