You've been able to dye items for as long as I can remember in LOTRO. Scholars make 'em iirc.

N - floaty names on.

ALso then go into settings and theres a whole raft of them you can check box on/off in graphics iirc.

Although playing with names on in lotro makes me cry, personally it spoils the view.

right question 3 currently have a lvl 26 hunter and the question is which is the best tree to concentrate on out of.

bowmaster
huntsmen
trapper of foes

ok ill try and help ;)

Bowmaster in my mind is THE solo set for hunters, its skills are all about Strength Stance and definetly makes the hunter guardian unfriendly (as youll be pulling agro from everything)

Heres teh 4 set bonus :  +15% Ranged Crit Damage, +20% S:Strength Damage, +25% S:Strength Threat, +25% S:Strength Power Use

so as you can see its 20% more damage for 25% more threat and power use, with 15% better crits. So that heart seeker will hit for a minimum of about 1600 ;) (my max on it has been 8000 ;D   )

Trapper of foes, im really not a fan of, imprpoves the hunters CC ability but lowers damage output but also makes them more group friendly as a result, Its skills are base on Endurance stance. The good side of it turns Penetrating shot in to a root but i just cant see why at 4 set the total of -25% damage for the ability to cast instant in combat traps is worth it.

Huntsman ive not tried yet as most of its abilities complement Fleet Stance, the newer Hunter stance gained in the 50's which allow shooting on the move but only with auto attacks, it stops you losing focus as soon as you move but apart from that ive yet to truly test it.

personally im aiming at 5 Bowmaster Which gives me the legendary Cool Burn (making the Burn Hot ability a quick ending combo)
and 3 HUntsman which improves inductions by 10%

thanks.

Best professions for a hunter please (made one recently, Warden & Runekeeper just didnt do it for me in the end) - ones that will help him most levelling and such?  (Most of mya lts have gathering so money isnt an issue when you can play the AH - when I play that is!).

hunter is medium armour so maybe a setup with tailor in it

or forester to make your own bows

both are good to make gear at low lvl's when there's not much on the AH.

As Keggi say something with either WoodWorking or Tailoring  really benefits Hunters.

I went explorer on my hunter can gather both wood and ores (money spinner) as well as tailor, you would however rely on buying bows at AH or getting my Supreme WoodWorker to do one for you,
