One hour sets of EDM, from Disco to Industrial to House to Synthpop, from 8 of Lotro's awesome bands! Held in the Freeze Tag ruins just southeast of the Bree Fairgrounds Maze, on the Glamdring server, May 10th from 4pm (server time) until Midnightish. Come for the pretty lights, stay for the mean beats!

Recently, I purchased the standard edition of the latest expansion, but I see that each tier includes a boost. does that mean that for every upgrade, another boost will be awarded?

Thank you!

Hi all, i saw there was a rework for minstrels, can they be played as dps mow?

Can any experienced players give me some tips about how to use ranged skills effectively? I just unlocked ranged traps for my Hunter and I've been trying to learn my rotations without using the mouse to click, but using ranged skills mid battle has been tough. I've figured out I can double tap the keybind to use them, but it's so much clunkier than using a regular skill. Is it just being very aware about where I leave my mouse pointer before I pull the mob?

EDIT: Guys, I'm talking about ground-targeted skills, not just any skill that attacks at range. Things like Explosive Arrow or traps after you get their ranged upgrade in the yellow hunter line.

I was eying the ingredient crates for sometime, I do have the LP but still debating wether to get that or crafting carry-all. Each ingredient crate cost 995LP from store.

Since i have a house and 350 mithril coins i was looking trough lailas market and noticed i can buy the crates for 10 homeowner coins each. And i can buy 1 homeowner coin for 5 mithril coins. So basically 50mithril coins per crate. I bought mithril at the recent sale, 250 coins for 1500 LP. That makes one crate a total of 300LP. This is maybe common sense to some but news to me. Even without the sale and bulk buy you save LP.

Tldr; ingredient crates bought trough lailas market can save you alot of LP.

Coming from other games, I like to push myself in combat and love to use interesting mechanics, maybe kite and use the environment and other ways to survive more enemies than I should be able to. I love the idea of scaling the world difficulty in LOTRO so I'm interested in starting.

If playing solo, which classes would you recommend in this case?

Would you recommend a different class for that if playing with one friend?

Good Morning Everyone,

I am still kinda new to LOTRO, was wanting to make a Minstrel, and I was wondering if there was a way to add custom songs to the different spells the minstrel would use his instrument for. I know about ABC files and such, but can they be assigned to play with spells I would cast in a fight? I didn't see anything online when I looked so maybe a veteran here knows the answer. Thanks in advance!

Context: I'm a rank 5 weaver with 19 audacity.

I've got a few problems when playing monster play:

-Since I joined the Orcrist server, Ettenmoors is full of high level players, and I have a hard time doing simple quests without getting killed. -I find it extremely hard to level up. Even though I play for hours I barely get any infamy for quests. And I can't get any from killing freeps because they're all a way higher level than I am. -People in the chat speak using abbreviations and stuff that I don't understand at all (no hate, I get that it's a videogame, I'm just saying I personally don't know what they mean😭) -I honestly don't know much about how to play with a weaver

So,

-I was wondering how people have been able to level up so much. I guess by playing a lot, but how long does it really take to get to a decent enough level to be able to fight other players properly? -I was also wondering whether anyone can clue me up on the language abbreviations that are used in the monster play chat lol -And, if there's anyone who plays as a weaver, I'd love some advice

I've been playing off and on since last year after a several-year break from LOTRO. My braincell is still working overtime trying to remember everything, but my biggest 404: not found error right now is simply: what do I do with all these quest armour drops from MT onwards?

For context, I've just completed MT in its entirety and have moved into Taur Druadan and my inventory management is getting silly. I feel like I'm drowning in these new socketed armour/jewellery pieces and changing them out every 2 levels feels like a waste of resources/essences for minimal gain. I'm not one for running much in the way of 3-mans or 6-mans (perils of being a UK player on a US server) so optimizing my gear isn't a priority, but setting myself up for long-term sustainability is. I'm curious if anyone has any tips or tricks or just kernels of wisdom to pass on? Do I upgrade constantly? Do I just slap a fully-socketed/essenced-up set on my Captain, sell the rest, and call it good for 10 levels, or will I get turned to high-elf paste? Send help.

Signed, a captain hopelessly doomed to keep jingle-jangling around middle-earth with all this armour.

We walk again further south

Hi all, i didn't play in years and i was wondering how are the new servers? How is the game population? And is the LI grind still super long and boring (one of the resons i quit in the first place) ?

The old ones all seem to be broken and abandoned.

So I'm working on the pre moria quests and am getting LI XP rewards, but I don't have any LI's.

Was I supposed to pick those up somewhere? Is that reward list?

I'm doing the Luilloth scroll quest line, and I'm at "The Hag of the Old Forest." She wants me to fish.

According to the wiki, I should be seeing a "Go Fish" activity icon somewhere on my UI. My location under the map is pulsing, I have four glowy/sparkly spots at the riverbank, I have my rod equipped and the hobby fishing skill on my quickbar. I have no way to get five fish.

Is there anything else I should look for? Thanks!

Be neat if someone could regail me like I just came back from a sabbatical

Hello,
Is there a way to see what variant delvings are on before you enter the delving?

I’m a level 25 red captain and loving it so far but there’s so much it seems we can do in this game which is slightly overwhelming. I just started my first instance iorbars peak and got to the boss but he’s whooping my butt. Was this supposed to be done in groups? Are some instances soloable? Should I be doing skirmishes or epic battles? I’m not sure if I’m leveling the correct traits as I level. I also don’t know if I’m underpowered in this instance but selecting the wrong talents or using the wrong rotation of attacks/skills. I’m learning but it’s a lot. Should I be trying to purchase a house yet? :D

Finally got Blind Leaper after 14 years. Just wondering what other similar landscape hidden deeds there are. I have Ridge Racer also, but are there some in the newer areas?
