Reminiscing about …

 

How did we pick our main character’s name?

New Player Question

How do you dye armor and cosmetics? Is there a method for selecting a preferred color? 

Week In Gaming

Crister

  • LOTRO – still leveling – winterfest is here!  I visited my favorite hobbit.
  • Played Raft and now playing Sunkenland with my friends.
  • ESO and now Rogue Trader

 

Cyndars

  • Emerallina completed three skirmish deeds (Tuckborough, Attack at Dawn, and Storm on Methedras).
  • Generally just killed things and deeded with Pineleaf.
  • Friday Night Fights with the guys ended with a win in Icy Crevasse. Louni was my healer for the first time ever (I think), so that was fun! And as a bonus, I got to hear about Sans’s first time meeting Louni when I told her this story. 

 

Pineleaf

  • My Mariner ran quests in the new hunters camp then joined in Friday Night Fights. After that, I made one more Thangulhad run and finally completed Skirmisher of Middle-earth.
  • My warden quested in Dol Amroth
  • My low-level Mariner completed the second class quest.

Featured Comments

Thoronlin commented on Episode 537, saying, “Thanks for the episode. Cyndars, at 19:42 of the video you talk about logging in and getting your “Thanksgiving items” again. What items were you referring to?”

 

Theskolin commented on Episode 538, saying:

 

Loved the segment on your favorite and least favorite zones on the latest episode.

 

Here’s my picks:

 

* Least favorite – The Dead Marshes easily.  The single travel point, the confusion reeds everywhere.  I went there once for the epic I think, and never went back.  Those deeds can stay unfinished, tyvm

* Most favorite – Winter-home.  I think I like it because I typically associate it with the holidays and time off of work.  Which leaves me lots of time to enjoy the evening-time atmosphere of the locale.  The quests are easy and throwing rotten veggies is always a good time.

 

I love the new segments that you’ve added to the pod.  Keep up the great work!
