Week In LOTRO
Andang
- Set up a new camera
- Doubled my laptop’s ram (for editing)
- Helped the rangers keep their camp ‘safe’
- Started a Volume 4 series
Forte
- Yulefest and Treasure Hunt
- Bounder Bababile Stream
- Continued through Central Gondor
- One week from Hobnanigans
Karvett
- Yulefest, Yulefest, Yulefest for myself, and Mrs Karv
- Ran Beorning through Epic Vol 1: LL and ND then went to Trollshaws, unlocked books
- I love when new folks wander into the twitch stream and ask questions about the game, F2P and whatever class I’m playing. Happens every week.
- Read a LOT of LOTR related content in Adventures in Middle-earth
Maven
- On the stream with Arathaert, we had a group of 25ish levels run all three GB instances, then went on to save the Bells of Dale. Good times.
- Ran through all the Roving Threats in western Gondor with a 7-person fellowship (aka an incomplete raid), and we were so full of ourselves we went after the raid-level Mumakil RT in Osgiliath. Smoosh.
- Running up to 10 alts a day through Yule Fest plus North Ithilien dailies. Except for when it gets too tedious.
- Glordriel managed to score 2 pieces of the new North Ithilien gear. Will be making and slotting essences after Yule Fest.
Pineleaf
- On the field trip, we ran some small fellowship skirmishes.
- Completed my Beorning series by finishing the latest part of the epic.
- While running the new content on my warden, I wondered why an apprentice healer has twice the morale of a seasoned warden.
- Ran some skirmishes with Andang to reach level 95.

Good morning (all possible meanings intended, of course!)
Let’s say you’re gearing a new account up from Free-2-Play but the person doesn’t want to make the monthly commitment of a subscription. What would be the first 10 “essential” purchases this new account should shoot for? I’ve considered Riding, lifting the Currency Cap, the Expansion packs (which I count as 1 thing,) and I’m looking at the Evendim, Eregion, and Forochel (or Angmar) quest packs. Am I missing anything? I’m a little ‘purchase-blind’ as a Lifer and I tend to take my level of access for granted.
Really feeling my Lifer Privilege here, but still at your service and your family’s,
Onishi of Landroval
