Well any advice to a LoTRO noob then guys?
My mate is on the Eldar server and has given me 10G to help me get started not that i think ill need it for a fair time.
Are you lot all on one server or mixed around on various different ones?
-
us who play are on Snowbourne, safe to say im the most active and not actually in HoJ anymore :)
advice id give is no matter what race your first character is start questing in the shire , the quests flow well there are slightly more forgiving than the Bree ones especially and involve pies and post :)
decide early on what tradeskills you want and level them whilst questing to reduce the need for "grinding" later.
-
Okey Dokey, Ive re-rolled on snowbourne. (not that it was much of a task as i'd only just got my first character to lvl 10 ::) ).
Ive rolled a LoreMaster called Valinov to give it a go. So far i have to say it looks good, plays smooth and seems a bit more in depth and complex than War which is more my style. ;D
-
Loremasters are nice, their CC abilities are good and they are one of the best soloable classes if somewhat squishy in close.
-
think beo/mangala is the most active in guild so if you need a home look out for him or do a hands of justice search my guild char is suralin but when i do play im on my unguilded hunter.
note to self must ask for guild invite for that char.
-
did send you a tell ingame with my guild char suralin you either didnt see it or couldnt figure out how to reply.
-
Hehe, just found it. Sorry bud im spending alot of time reading the various bits that pop up so im not watching the chat box alot. ::)
-
I am the most active HoJ guy (also need invites for Serevir and Lemvir my Warden & Lore-master), and am slowly getting back into the game, Im loving levelling my alts, but Beo gets the love from time to time also :D
Being spread across 3 MMO's and my life is hard work though, luckily a lifetime sub to this helps...
-
Can say if youd o enjoy the game, get a lifetime sub to it, its worth it and makes dropping the game and picking it up again less damaging on the old wallet over the long run :)
-
have just finished patching so just say when
-
nooo, now everyone begins playing this silly old game again! :-\
-
although im playing war again i do think lotro has the most going for it and i do enjoy my time there when i play it.
-
Just hit 20 on Viradan - my Minstrel. 1 hit and 3 levels vanished!
-
Biggest draw in lotro for me - the world. Pure and simple I get to roam around Middle Earth, for me thats enough.
Especially the shire.
-
If having a "home" in a small kin, that has a couple of players on, on and random and uncertain basis does grab you, then look at my profile, all my characters are listed there :)
I am trying to find that perfect balance in all my MMO's, so hopefully I'll have a little time to try and grow HoJ in Lotro once again. Or at least give it the time it deserves.
-
logged my Warden who i havent played in an age killed 1 mob +3 levels lol :)
look up Lorgo in game ill prob level him for a while.
-
I have another 4 alts to use the "One hit to level several levels" thing on - I kinda like it :)
-
So, has leveling speed been changed? Ie I got stuck with my warden at the 20 sign (where all my toons in LOTRO seemed to get stuck except for the burglar who I got to the whopping 25 or so), because I simply ran out of nice quests to do (seems there were just two flavours of the quests available: already grey ones or too hard ones...) and the questlines get stuck because of Greater Barrows (hard to find balanced groups there, again either no groups or groups pulled through by a level 50 toon...).
I am starting to feel the itch to get back (I have the same disease Mangala has :( I have a totally holistic attitude towards one (or most two) games at a time, and I recycle the games (currently the focus is on Dominions (again...) and Blood Bowl). Have to say I did love the warden quite a bit, and if questing isn't such a chore anymore, then I really really would like to get back to see the game :)
-
got a new char to lvl 10 yesterday and it did seem to go very quickly though cant say what its like after that i dont have a problem getting to 20 i can get that far just completing most of the lone lands.
after that its switching between the area beyond trestlebridge and the area between lonelands and the trollshaws i can get to about lvl 32 in these area's.
then its everdim and house of elrond quests till 40 or so and after that misty mountains and angmar and foroshel.
-
they did reevaluate levelling from 1-50 and made it roughly 5% cheaper xp wise over the 50 levels with particular attention to the lower levels.
Ive always found the 20-30 "hump" on every one of my characters then it gets fun again i still detest the volume of quests in Dol Dinen though :) although i like the area its just too much time focused on one place.
-
what do you guys do with your destiny points spend them when you get them or save for higher lvl's ?
-

look up Lorgo in game ill prob level him for a while.
What is this 1 kill and level 3 levels thing then? is this a particular quest or exploit or something?
-
if you just started you will not get this .
they adjusted the xp you need for lvling so if you have been playing for a while you get this xp back so say your lvl 25 or so it can add a couple of lvl's.

I did look it up a moment ago :)
It goes like this. Toons that were leveled up before latest patch have their xp points in a weird way (because there is a discount now on xp). When such a toon gains one more xp (ie killing something usually), their xp and levels get recalculated according to the new system. Thus, when there is an average 5% discount now, and the discount is bigger in lower levels, and you have say level 20 warden, then according to the new system you actually should be around level 23, but it gets not calculated until you actually kill something.
Or that is the simple way I understood. You perhaps now I understand that I am sometimes quite complicated...

explained exactly how it works ;)
destiny points are used primarily in monster play however you can spend them for short term buffs on your characters as i have over 30k i can easily say spending them is few and far bewtween :)

Runekeepers are fun and versatile but get more than 1 in close proximity and the noise of em drives you nuts :)
