One of the oldest unchanged systems in the game is XP. No level gain without it. How does xp work in lotro? How bad is it to be doing blue quests? Do other players steal my xp? Like all things lotro it’s not as straightforward as you might think (and i thought beforehand). This is ;TLDR (too long did not read) version of a larger project that aims to uncover...

Launch now and enter. And other little tweaks to make your instance starting life a bit easier. Resetting an instance Need to redo an instance for deeds or something bugged out? There are two ways to reset an instance solo or without disbanding Change the format of the instance so that lotro thinks it needs to be a new version byChange the level if possible in...

If we’d call it a revamp it might never get done. So here are some tweaks to lotro that might be nice to have. Some being a bit too glamorous perhaps, but one can always dream Crafting materials from all armour Ever ran an instance like Carn Dum with full bags afterward or found yourself inundated with Relics from School boxes? Only to have it tossed into the...

A venture into figuring out what lotroplayers play. Instead of going by the largest forum post or the most asked question in Cordovans stream I started collecting numbers about what level, class, race etc are online at a given time. And perhaps find out some interesting facts or answer questions such as “are captains as OP?” or “I always quit...

An often asked question regarding lotro is. But what about that amazon lotr mmo? Most would assume that a game in whatever state of form it will launch is still a long time away. They were correct.

What do you do when you’re past level 75 and still in Dunland or you’ve liked the story of Mazog and cleaned Mirkwood completely? Besides the “gondor expansion” nearly every level range was released as Expansion + questpack. And if you’re not in a Judge dredd kill every quest mode one of each part is usually stepped over. Not completely forgotten, but...

Starting with a blockade of Dol Amroth in Western Gondor’s questpack, followed by a full blown take-over of Pelargir and Linhir. Finalized with it’s assault on...

One the level ranges people dont fancy is level 40-50. Either you stick to Angmar and Eregion or you find yourself running back and forth across Eriador for Volume 1. However each of the other quest areas have their own little story lines that are worth the visit. How come they feel so disjointed? In a galaxy far far away it’s still Lotro’s launch year. You...
