Years of being called pig by the man of Bree hasn’t made Noffer anymore of a lover of the hobbits. “It’s the hobbits that always make the mess”, not us! After a few run-ins with the bounders at the storage silos it was time for him to find greener pastures. Don’t be such a boar. I’ll arrange for some better grass. We’ll...

Lets talk about the current state of the Featured instance aka box run.  Once a fun and alternative activity has lost most of it’s appeal. Introduced back in Update 18 as a way to give players a reason to run old content in a time where set bonus armors from Osgiligath and Minas Tirith reigned supreme. Every week, one scaling instance or raid from a list...

    Singing of “Crash and Burn” One of the most beautiful and tragic stories in the Silmarillion is the rise and fall of Gondolin, the Hidden City established by Turgon. The betrayal of Gondolin to Melkor by Turgon’s own nephew, and the consequent city’s destruction, are narrated in fine epic style: it is with nail-biting intensity...

What is dead can’t kill you. Today we’ll  go over one side of the kill or be killed part. The act of dealing damage.

Weapon * bonus = Damage Every attack goes through this, but each weapon has a...

The Flight of the Noldor The inspiration for this song comes, in part, from the beautifully worded plaint of Galadriel (Galadriel’s Song of Eldamar) in the LOTR: I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew, Of wind I sang, a wind there came and in the branches blew. … But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to...

Fancy graphics, cookies and pies are all just a front for a lot of numbers and formulas in lotro. Hey, come back here. No need to run away and hide. It’s not algebra (ok, some of it is).

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. Forgotten by most and wide-scattered They range the vast...

There are new pets and mounts available in the collection panel since the latest update. This has happened before, but this time the descriptions are fuel for some rumors. Is there a new Spring festival area or is it for U24? And does that mean U24 is closer then might think? And what is a moria bonus bundle? Aiding Radagast at Rhosgobel Normally the new...

Ever since the minstrel revamp changed the minstrels ways, the music industry is changing with them. Ever since the fourth age the preforming minstrel has become automated to a degree where any hobbit with a lute calls itself a musician these days All minstrels have access to a Songbook.
