A good dwarf, regardless of class, should be focused on one thing: his or her Beard. The Beard is the most vital part of a dwarf. It can be used for many things, and to add; it is quite attractive. Picking the Appropriate Beard Whether it be character creation, or at the Barber, a good Beard selection is beneficial to the overall well-being and success of your...

During last years Treasure Hunting event, I dug over 50 Huge Dig Sites with my main character and another dozen or so on an alt. People said “Sig! You cheater!”, to which I said “Eat my pickaxe n00b!” But today I will share with you the key to being the big dog on the field: Cave claws. You have between the time of this writing through...

You know what LOTRO needs? More dwarves. Sure — I get it; it’s [going to be?] the age of man and all that. The race of man is fickle, their existence all too brief, and quite frankly they are almost as stiff necked as the elves. Also, if you have not met him, Aragorn smells of garlic and cabbage. It’s rather off-putting. Hobbits? Don’t...

Managed to do the Yule grind with out having to take an ice pick to my eyes. Finished it up yesterday, actually.

Plate Metal Jacket has put together two new Steed + Outfit combos, which he calls the Warden of the Vale and the Juggernaut. Danania has the new steeds we linked to in last week’s roundup, the Steed of Dol Baran and the Steed of Victory, as well as the new Steed of the Warden. Cosmetic LOTRO shared some thoughts on the Yule Festival grind and shows off...

The Wintry Yule Steed cosmetics are gated behind completion of a deed that requires doing the daily quests in Winter Home 120 times. I was unsure if I was going to have the patience to complete the deed, so I reached out on Twitter and requested screen shots. I am happy to report that not only have we received a few shots to share, but I may actually be able to...

Massively has posted the full transcript of yesterday’s Live Chat with the Developers of LOTRO. The Inquisitr invites us to Take a High Speed Thrill Ride With The New War-Steed.  A Casual Stroll to Mordor shows us two new war-steeds: the Steed of Victory & Steed of Dol Baran.   This post was originally written and published by...

This is from a few weeks back and I am ashamed to say that somehow I totally missed this video. Take a close look at some of the screen shots and you might recognize a couple familiar...

Far along the borders of the Wild, protecting civilized lands from harm are the prepared Warden. For generations they have been held with high admiration for their swift call to action and their steadfast resolve in protecting the inhabitance of Middle-earth. The Steed of the Warden is outfitted with the bare needs of a patroller. It’s lightly armored in key...

Pathfinder and I got lost on our way to the Yule Party. Good thing I have the essentials strapped to my back and can have my own party!

Cosmetic LOTRO confirms a hunch I had: Festival Mounts will be available in both traditional mount and war-steed cosmetics form. Click the pick below to be taken to Cosmetic LOTRO for full size and more information!

Looks to me like Byndi and Billibong may have been into the mead… Message from Byndi of Silverload: To The WarSteeds.com Crew Holiday Cheer and Yule time wishes from Byndi & Billabong. Thanks for the wishes Byndi and same to you! Save some mead for us!

A note from Marmafel of Imladris: We’re outside Hytbolt, contemplating the long road ahead of us to rebuild the town. Stormy’s hide is Tobiano dyed black, with a charcoal simple tail.  The saddle is the Rohirrrim Elite saddle, and the gear is the Accessory of the Northstar.  We’re traveling light as long as we can!

I spent a couple hours talking with Andang, Pineleaf, Merric and Bandoras about the Riders of Rohan Expansion and the state of the game. It was great fun and if you missed the live feed, you can watch or listen to the Youtube Video below, and you can find the show notes...

With the current sale on Warsteed color packs, both Mossie and I were able to pick up some. Here is Mossie with “Popcorn”, her trusty steed. Hide: Shaggy Roan, colored Dun Head: Light Halter of the Wold dyed Crimson Body: Light Caparison of the Wold dyed Crimson Legs: Light Leggings of the Wold dyed Crimson Gear: Rohirrim Elite Saddle, Orc Head on a...

At 298 Turbine Points a pack, I felt I was likely going to be seeing the best prices on the color packs we’ll likely see for a while, so I used my VIP stipend to buy the 3 color packs I wanted for Pathfinder. Shaggy Roan hide in Copper, with a black mane and tail. Olive for the Hunter’s Steed pieces.

Warsteed colors can currently be found in the LOTRO store for 298 points per pack. In conjunction with the current double points sale, now may be the perfect time to get colors for your steed. We have seen no documentation on this sale yet so I am guessing it will end with next week’s store sale change.

  From Caiyyd: This is the steed my minstrel uses when she is on the way to an event. It’s a good bit flashier than her war mount! Hide: Overo hide, Red Roan color Head: Steed of the Minstrel Halter, Ered Luin Blue Body: Light Caparison of the Entwash, Ered Luin Blue Legs: Light Leggings of the Wold, Ered Luin Blue Saddle: Light Saddle of the...

Part 1 Part 2 Healing During Mounted Combat, Part 3: Bridle Legacies by Zetarond of Gladden, Leader of Ars Erthad Most bridle legacies that affect healing are minor legacies.  Should you gather legacy replacement scrolls and make an all-minor bridle?  Probably not at first.  I do suggest that you review the listings in A Look at Legendary Bridles, Part 1:...
