Week In Gaming

 

Crister

  • LOTRO – Endeavor despite!  Pine and Cyndars ride along with PLOI as we almost kinda sorta just almost by an inch finished the Gwareodnosindsnf, ah I give up, raid.  Imparting experience to up-and-coming tanks.
  • New Goo!
  • ESO – passed 1600 cp!
  • Rogue Trader and my friends convinced me to try out Star Citizen!

 

Cyndars

  • Started Palia on my SwitchLite. I think I am really going to like it. 
  • Did Angmar Reborn with Pineleaf and deeds in Gundabad. I am ready to find the first jewel.
  • Gwathrenost with PLOI instead of Friday Night Fights. Had a blast!! Crister went round and round and round one room being chased by ads, and I laughed SO much. It was great. 

 

Pineleaf

  • My warden headed into the Green Hills and started a search for goblins
  • My low-level Lore-master started the task to collect rangers
  • My minstrel spent most of the time studying old ruins and reading

It’s that time of year again!  Huzzah!

 

Do you have any New Year’s resolutions in LOTRO?  Or any other games that you play?

 

I have several that I would like to follow, like sticking with one game for an extended period of time or finding a good group of folks to play with and really participate.  But I know me and my history and won’t set myself up for failure.

 

For LOTRO I am going to get myself to cap and challenge myself to heal group content and not let things get to me when I fail miserably.

 

Keep up the great work!

Hello podcasters! I enjoy your show and am really hoping you can help me out. I’ve tried out the new crafting system and I have so many questions.

 

Once you get all your guild rep you get a daily from your Umbari crafting guild trainer to get nice crafting mats including recipes. You can then send these recipes to your alts. But isn’t there some other thing you need to do to make the Umbari craft dudes happier with you so you can upgrade armor? My scholar isn’t seeing any such thing. 

 

Where the heck do you find goat meat? Many cooks want to know.

 

And are you getting many hides? Questing to 150 only got me about 8 hides.

 

Happy crafting!
