LOTRO Players News
Reminiscing about …
New Player Question
- If two people in a fellowship use hope tokens/scrolls, which one will apply to everyone? Say someone uses a high level hope token/scroll but only had one (or just wasn’t paying attention to the potential need for more uses) and after someone dies another lower hope token/scroll is used–will the new lower buff overwrite everyone’s buffs or just give aid to the person who died and needed new buffs?
- If you wanted to discover what an involuntary emote skill or product does, where/how would you test it politely?
