Hi Cyndars – Sorry I missed you! and the rest of the Gang
Just trying to say Hi to each and everyone out there.
Clarification on a couple of my questions or answers
As for the pet spider, I saw someone with one in Bree while I was at the Lonely Mountain band was playing in front the Pony in Bree. I also Couldn’t find or figure out how he got one?
Also thanks for the lead on my coat/outfit too – still working on colour for it.
Just got my “Moria DVD Pack” today, God I hate spell check changing it to OAK – Yikes
As for my Question of the week, as I am about to get my first Legendary Items/Weapons/Armor in a couple of days – finally up to 45 now. What are the difference in Titles and stuff on them?
Is there anywhere I should be Hunting or Farming for items or stuff to make it easier to rank it up?
Did everyone get something neat in the Summer Festival? As usual I missed it due to my yucky summer schedule ;-((
Oh Ooh – What are your Favorite Skim’s, I am Loving the Icy One
Regards,
Baalak and Freman of the Sons of Numenor

Hi, I have been listening to this podcast since day 1. It is still my favorite LOTRO podcast out here, (Yeah I know, there are not many out there anymore, but regardless). I feel I have to add something more to the New Player question in last Player news. (and again I know Teri and Pine are not up on this sort of thing, and that is OK). If Sandswinda were her I think she would have voiced these thoughts also…. Crafting Guilds….OH YES, they are a pain in the Elf to get to top tier, but there are some benefits that you did not tell people about, (and to Cyndars, who asked the question) . Once you are guilded in a crafting profession, you are now able to make guilded only recipes, (not a big deal, nothing really special). You are also able to make non guilded recipes in bulk, to save time in crafting, (again, not a big deal). BUT, (and here is the thing that Teri and Pine have no interest in), you can make second and first age legendary weapons and items from guild only recipes. Sure you can go on the action hall and buy these items, if you can find them, and afford them. But to be able to make them for yourself and for any kin-mates, is very handy. I have also made these items for people in world chat that asks if someone will make them a first age item (they had the Matts, and have always offered to pay me for my service, which I always refuse, (Landy players don’t ask for coin to help someone out, well, most of landy players….)). I, like you Teri, HATE crafting…..but I have been playing long enough that I did grind out a crafter in every vocation, and guilded them….at the time I hated doing that, but now I am so glad that I did. And Pineleaf, yes the 115 cooked food (all 3 types), are now much better then the 105 ones, LOTRO/ssg gave us better recipes about 6 months or so ago, can’t remember the update, but they are better. I hope I did not sound too snarky in this comment. I probably should have waited a day to post this, but time is always short, and if I waited I probably would not have posted anything. Of course you are free to say I should not have….lol. Your loyal listener, (with a few to many glasses of wine in him). Fin, (not the one that Cyndars mentions, there are a lot of us in LOTR)
Thanks for the inofrmation!
