How do virtues work? What should I focus on (according to class)?

Week In LOTRO

Karvett

  • Lots of crafting, working on getting my Rep up with the Crafting Guilds. 2-3 tokens x 4-7 tier x 5 characters.
  • Hytbold rebuild – Conquered the Beacon of Eaworth only to be thwarted by Shields on Poles in The Norcrofts
  • Ran a bunch of scaled instances to attempt to recoup some of the Medallions I spent on Rep Accelerators for the aforementioned crafting binge and Hytbold quests

 

Andang

  • Thought my Champion was lost
  • Found out brigand jails are bad news
  • Filmed and edited a ton for Middle-earth Lore

 

Teriadwyn

  • Moria Epic on the burglar, along with some instances with Karv and Kompany.
  • Finished Volume 1 on my challenge minstrel (no LI, skipping all of Volume 2).
  • Skirmishes, skirmishes, and even more skirmishes. Landroval!Teri ran a solo 3-man of Tuckborough, ran lots of Tuckborough with Maven on our hobbit duo.

 

Arathaert

  • L.UN.C.H. runs! A no-show for Morthond, but Windfola had a solid run for a 10th place 1:30:41. They did toast a chicken but it was before the Fords of Bruinen so they got a restart.
  • Got my 1st gold tanking piece! ‘bout time
  • That’s… that’s pretty much it. 😛

 

Pineleaf

  • Arkenstone Beorning with Maven and Teri. We completed Thievery and Mischief and Defense of the Prancing Pony. We then completed our level-45 class quests. I also started to get the idea of how to heal as a Beorning.
  • My Gladden minstrel reached level 20. I then decided that Gladden was not suitable for the skirmish challenge because I already had a number of marks there from my capped character.
  • Created a new minstrel on Vanyar. This is a server where I have never played before, so I feel it is more suitable for the challenge. I reached level 21 and completed Book 1 and ran two skirmishes.

 

Maven

  • What they said, plus Karv’s offer I couldn’t resist
  • Finish the Shire meta-deeds under Teri’s mentorship
  • And Maven (actually Maevenn) is now on Landroval! I’ve started a hobbit hunter that will be strictly blue line so I can learn the trait tree

 

Skirmish of the Week

Topic: What are the pros and cons of Boromir?

    To add a resource for virtues… I have used the Tenton hammer’s guide for heavy, medium & light. They have a table for each virtue/deed/location. It’s a little out of date, but works well.

  2. Maybe not the best place to ask but whatever did happen to the giveaways you had recently? Did I miss a link?
