Week In LOTRO
Cyndars
- Farmers Faire dailies and an accidental Inn League initiation run.
- Adagim with the Field Trip… Forgot I was NOT 160 yet with Cyndarina, and got flattened. In thinning the thickets, we created thinkets.
- Opened new companions, Ember and Isobel, in ESO with the help of Pineleaf and Sanswinda.
Sanswinda
- I investigated some rot while starting some fires during the Field Trip.
- I rolled a new character to go festivaling, but spent my time managing her inventory instead.
Pineleaf
- My champion continued with Gundabad missions and Hytbold dailies.
- For the Field Trip, we helped to slow the spread of a blighted swamp.
