LOTRO Academy is back. Brygard, author of the popular B.G.M. series of custom LOTRO UI mods, joins Branick, Mysteri, Calddir, and Areuhat for this episode about customizing your LOTRO experience.

In this episode we discuss some changes to the LOTRO Academy site and go over a variety of other websites and podcasts that we find useful, seeking to introduce you to several resources every LOTRO player should have at his or her disposal. Thanks for listening!

This episode has been a long time coming. We had planned to cover fellowships much earlier, but were unable to for a variety of reasons until now. This time, neither flood, nor recording difficulties, nor software crashes during editing could keep it from you. If you’ve been hesitant to group up with your fellow LOTRO players, this is the episode for you.

This one is a bit more chaotic than usual, as real life kept us from our initially planned topic. Branick, Mysteri, Areuhat, and Calddir discuss various aspects of the Fishing Hobby in LOTRO in a somewhat rambling, and unprepared, format. We hope you enjoy it anyway.

In this lucky seventh episode Branick, Mysteri, and Areuhat take a look at how to train your Skirmish Soldier. In addition to wrapping up our discussion on Skirmishes, Branick also interviews Calddir about his Steeds of Middle Earth website. Thanks for listening.

This episode marks the first of a two-part series on skirmishes. Even so, the episode weighs in at a hefty hour and a half, with plenty of content left for next week. Be sure to leave a comment with any skirmish related questions you have and we’ll do our best to answer them next week in Skirmishes Part 2.

Branick, Mysteri, and Ramesey discuss buying and selling on the Auction House as well as other ways to make money in LOTRO.

This episode is all about crafting. With the help of LOTRO Wiki, Branick and crew are here to help you choose a crafting vocation and learn all about how the crafting system in Lord of the Rings Online™ works.

In the third episode of LOTRO Academy, Branick, Mysteri, and Ramesey welcome Areuhat to the team. The four of us kick off the first episode of our regular weekly schedule with the basics of getting to level 20, from the Introductions, to getting your first house. If we left anything out or you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below, send us an email, or look for us in Middle-earth.

In the second episode of LOTRO Academy, our new cohost Ramesey, joins Branick and Mysteri for an in-depth look at the various stats you’ll come across in Lord of the Rings Online™. From Morale and Power to Vitality and Will, we let you know just what those numbers mean.

For the introductory episode of LOTRO Academy, Branick and Mysteri invite Damworth, leader of the Swifty and Hammo kinship on Arkenstone, onto the show to offer a brief primer on character creation in Lord of the Rings Online™. Topics discussed include where to go to get started, choosing a server, choosing a race, and choosing a class. Though we keep this one pretty light, we plan to go much more in-depth in our future episodes. You can listen to the episode using the player below.
