Branick, Mysteri, and Pineleaf welcome new host Draculetta for this introductory look at Epic Battles. Thanks for listening.

Well, folks, we’ve had some time to absorb the class changes that update 12.0 (otherwise known as the Helm’s Deep expansion) brought to us. To recap, skill traits were replaced with skill trees, and several skills were consolidated, removed or changed as a result. For the hunter, the names remained the same – Bowmaster (red), Huntsman (blue) and Trapper of Foes...

Well since I can’t really post anything do to this invisible glitch  I decided to post my secrets on controling that frustrating skirm solider we all know and love as the Warrior!  I did this video with my guardian but this method will nearly work perfect with just about any class.  Just be a bit wary on the hunter.  Again I apologize for anything odd and...

With each new expansion that comes out, new shiny guild recipes become available. I find it a pain to try to remember what gear I have and what armour/jewelery/etc piece is available. Is it better than what I currently have? I don’t want to waste a recipe to find out it’s not any better. So I’ll take screen shots of each craftable guild recipe...

Branick, Mysteri, and Pineleaf are joined by Achazia from the popular in-game LOTRO band The Shades, and by Cari from LOTRO Reporter for this episode. Thanks for listening.

  Have you ever decided to make a kinship after deciding your original one was too flabby?  Did you buy a kinship charter but now have no idea what to do next?  Well before this starts sounding like a bad infomercial I have generously decided to divulge my secret ways of the kinship so you don’t half to run around like a chicken with its head cut off....

I’ve recently made some emote shortcuts for the festival dances and for the emotes which contribute towards a deed.  As I have to look this up *every* single time and thought I can’t be alone…, I thought I’d share the how to and include a handy reference guide to the quickslot numbers 🙂 To make a shortcut for an emote, type: /shortcut XX...

Over the last couple of years, I’ve read on Twitter and the Forums about people having some difficulty with survivability while playing their Hunters. One mob isn’t much of an issue but when it comes to multiple mobs or an elite, it can be a bit much to handle. Common ways to combat these problems involve getting gear with more morale and armor or creating a...

  With new content and class changes coming relatively soon, I’ve found myself without a lot of ideas regarding topics to write about. There’s no sense in writing about class roles or previous dungeons when the former will be inaccurate and the latter will be ignored soon enough. Instead, I bring to you today a list of common problems thrown at...

Branick, Mysteri, and Pineleaf are back for another LOTRO discussion. This time Branick interviews Mysteri about the Fellowship Walk, a player-driven event to benefit the Child’s Play charity. Thanks for listening.

Branick, Mysteri, and Pineleaf are joined by Ace, a returning playerwith a fresh perspective, to answer his questions and talk about The Lord of the Rings Online™. Thanks for listening.

Well, this one’s a bit boring. There are only 2 proper stables in the Lone Lands and one campsite – usable only during certain quests. At any rate, I bring you the return of the travel routes diagrams! In case you were wondering, the Lone Lands is for Leveling from about 20-30. Click on the picture below for a larger image...

  Welcome to the last edition of Pet Menagerie! In this final writeup, I will be talking about arguably the most unique of the LMs pets, the Spirit of Nature. This pet is also the most recently added to the LM’s zoo(leaving out the War Wolf, which is so inconsequential that it doesn’t deserve an article of its own), at level 70.   Skills...

  And after an incredibly long break; we’re back again! The second to last installment of Pet Menagerie is here, and this time we’re examining the walking moss heap, the Bog-guardian. Of particular note for this article to determining, similar to the Eagle, whether the requirements to use this pet are worth it. The answer may surprise you. Or...

Now let’s look at the captain in a skirmish. For me, the captain runs much more smoothly through a skirmish than a burglar. Herald or Banner? The first question is whether to use a herald or a banner? I will start off by saying that I generally run with a herald. I suspect that players that generally run in groups and those that dislike pet classes would much...

Branick, Mysteri, and Pineleaf are joined by Achazia, Eovina, Semjase, Erihael, and Abergar from the popular in-game band, The Shades, for discussions on LOTRO, music, and more. With five of the six Shades members present, we have a lot to talk about. Thanks for listening.

  Maybe you’ve heard of “hardcore” raiding and want to know more. Maybe you’re entirely ignorant of it and don’t want to know more. Either way, I’m going to tell you more. I’m an equal opportunity informer. I hope to outline here some of the basics and tell you what you might expect from such groups. So what is...

Hello and welcome! This is going to be a brand new series of articles, done in a similar way to my Pet ones, but focusing more on the fearsome critters, beasties and other assorted monstrosities you may find and confront in your travels through Middle-earth. Of particular note will be the various abilities each creature can have and use against you. To begin, I...
