New Player Question
Do you get the buffs/enhancements from legacies, settings, relics and so on, for *all* LIs in your LI panel, or just from the ones you have equipped? (via email)
Week In LOTRO
Sanswinda

- Went raiding with PLOI and did some daily quests with them too.
- Went skirmishing and questing in the Lone Lands on Arkenstone with my bumbling guardian.
- Ran my RK on Landy into the last Agarnaith instance. Ugh!
Teriadwyn
- Landroval!Teriadwyn did some solo play in Mordor, explored up to Seregost.
- Thursday with Meyvan and Pinesap, had THE BEST time in the Bloody Gore!
- Welldressed Killingmachine experienced the Yule Festival. Completed Tier 1 of the More the Merrier deed and has a new elk mount to match his new winter outfit.
- Warden Meledhriel finished up in Thinglad and moved on to Stangard without encouraging the “bad” romance quest line.
Pineleaf
- My Landroval warden completed the last of the region in Mordor
- My Crickhollow warden helped a rune-keeper survive an uruk camp in Agarnaith
- Reached level 50 on my Gladden Lore-master while running some skirmishes

Well, I didn’t know for years that you can mail account bound items if you type your alt name first before adding such item to a mail.

First of all:
Thanks for my one my favourite shows! I’m eagerly looking forward to each Monday’s new episode (no live listening because Europe).
I have a new player question, regarding LIs:
Do you get the buffs/enhancements from legacies, settings, relics and so on, for *all* LI:s in your LI panel, or just from the ones you have equipped?
And here are my five cents of things I wished I had known when I started playing:
- Keep track of your class deeds from early on, level 20-30 or so. Check the lotro wiki and set a skill rotation that works them in smoothly.
That way you’ll achieve your class trait points earlier – and get to learn how to use your skills.
When you have your class deed trait points you can set up a rotation that suits your playstyle and purpose.
On my first alt, a lvl 80 hunter, I have completed one (1) class deed. Sigh.
- More on skill deeds: they turn *yellow* when you’re done for the day (shift-L). Discovered that after almost a year of playing. /facepalm
- Universal ingredient packs (UIPs) are super, super useful, especially if you’re an altaholic and need your mats to cover 10 or so alts 😉
Many kins have the (premium) ingredient crates from where you get them.
- If you’re VIP: get guilded. This is especially useful in combo with UIP:s – use your mats to get guilded, and your UIP:s to equip your alts with your fancy guild recipes.
And: scholar only need to reach Artisan of the Guild to buy all supreme dye recepies – combine with UIP and you can dye all your cosmetics all day long.
