Caught the end of the Grrlz of Middle Earth stream, and afterwards Teriadwyn created a new outfit for Landroval Aerindys and taught me how to use the wardrobe (Sans provided moral support).
Leveled Landroval Aerindys to 45.
Went on the Academy Fieldtrip and leveled up Arkenstone Aerindys to level 15.

I defeated the final boss in The Ruined City instance all by myself!!!
Discovered the Dead Marshes in Gondor and a really cool session play.
Ran Protectors of Thangulhad skirmish with the field trip and had a lot of fun trying to get mobs into circles for Pineleaf.

Led the Grrlz through the first three wings of Fornost, ran out of time to finish Shadow.

Did a couple of runs through the Library at Tham Mirdain for reasons.

Lifthil left a comment on Episode 195:

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.

Good morning, thanks for all your efforts on the podcast. I listen during my two hours commuting every day.

Do most players level alts solo, and just group in level-cap instances? Or just buy the Gift of Valar? Or have a regular group, or power level, or skirmish repeatedly?

I’ve played LotRO since 2008, but am tired of solo leveling. Your descriptions of running around together and leveling various characters together sounds awesome. How to find leveling buddies?

I have being doing lots of Deeds in LOTRO recently, to increase all 20 virtues, to 19 or above on my main, and would like to nominate this deed as the most annoying, The Pale Followers (Advanced).

To complete this you have to kill 300 Pale-Folk in Tham Mírdain, this is an instance in Volume 1 of the Epic, so to complete you have to use a reflecting pool, many, many, many times in Rivendell.

I would love to know if anyone has found a more annoying deed to complete than this.

“Additional Information:
The best way to complete this deed is by running the instance The Library at Tham Mírdain a couple of times. ”

Hope it helped, safe travels o7
