This week’s New Player Question is brought to you by Handy Hobbits Hauling:
New Player Question
What’s up with fishing? Are there any deeds related to it? Is it possible to catch good swag as your ability levels up?
Week In LOTRO
Andang
- Made my first non-man character I actually plan to level for the Bingo Boffin story
- A hobbit mini
- Streamed all of Weatherstock VII
- Announced Middle-earth Lore Episode 1 will release on August 3rd
- Filmed a lot of Ep. 2 stuff
Maven
- A week of firsts:
- First summer festival, fishing, fishing, fishing and winning races
- First Weatherstock
- First cosmetic weapon (a shield as big as my hobbit warden)
- Played well with others in Sarnur (and another first!)
- A verrrry interesting skirmish with Andang and Teri’s burg, with my captain disguised as just another Bree dude (and no soldier)
Karvett
- Finished Hytbold finally – Murder was the key
- More Moria skirmishes AND Forgotten Treasury with Karv & Co
- Rolled a Mini to join my Beorning on Gladden
Teriadwyn
- New dwarf champion on Landroval, Axli, is up to level 20. Finished Ered Luin and Shire meta-deeds.
- Arkenstone!Teri made it to Kindred with Thorin’s Hall and now has a goat, prepped for Moria, yay.
- Skirmishing with Andang and Maven to record Bree stuff for the Lore series.
Pineleaf

Featured Comments
Branick left a comment on this week’s poll:
“A new housing system where you buy a plot of land and a blueprint to build the house of your choice. New blueprints are great items for the LOTRO Store. The ability to buy crafting facilities and hire NPCs (provisioners, vaultkeepers, auctioneers etc.) to use at the house. I would also like to see the cost of housing storage drastically reduced, back to the prices before the housing chests were merged.”

“I have been doing a lot of Skirmishes, nowhere in the league of Pineleaf, but am doing these on my Level 100 Captain, at Tier 2 and always duo Skirms but I solo them.
After the latest patch, I seem to be getting very different lieutenants than before the patch, could Pineleaf check on this?
I am now getting very different and much harder lieutenants, Priestess of Flame, Frigid Squall, and Priest of Vengeance, never got these in the 20 or 30 Skirms I ran before the update.
Best
Glambold”

Anyone remember when you could purchase bait to boost your fishing stat? Pre-Moria days
I think the best bait would give +5 fishing and would last 10 minutes.
There was worms, minnows and two others.
