LOTRO Players News Episode 195: We’ll Talk Later

What sort of stuff can characters on different servers access? For example, can I send mail from one of my characters on one server to another on a different server, or is shared storage the only way to share stuff?

Pinched Writes:

I just wanted to thank you for explaining the differences with mitigations (tactical vs physical) and also the masteries. That was extremely helpful.

I do have a question about those. Is there a cap on mitigations both defense and mastery?

And another topic which I am starting to see is about finesse. Who needs finesse and what does it do exactly? I know I could probably find this info in the wiki, but you guys explain it really well and use nice in-game examples.

Anyway, thanks and love the show.

Hey, so, um, Teriadwyn wasn’t entirely right about what finesse does. Finesse allows your physical attacks to bypass enemies’ avoidance (block/parry/evade) and your tactical attacks to bypass their resistance. It’s nothing to do with mitigations. Some skills/traits allow you to bypass mits, but those are class-specific. The only mit bypass I know of that isn’t is the skirmish personal trait, and even then, it’s only in a skirmish.

Correction. I do like this steed. Seen 2 versions before, placeholders, which looked more pincessy. 🙂 And yeah, you need 4 reputations, which is easier with a lot of crafters.
The ghost is in Ondohers folly quest line. Slag-Hills require the quests before for solo instances, but I don’t think it’s the ghost, probably just Haerondir. Fellowship unlocks you can start right away.
