Am I an idiot or did the game really expect me to trek all the way from Gondarim to Bree on foot? That can't have been right  Is it worth doing the quests in Buckland or should I just head on over to Bree?

Where's the best place to find rowan? I levelled in Ered Luin and there was barely any wood anywhere. Now all of a sudden I've got more ash than I can handle and it's all useless because I still need to max out my apprentice woodworking.

Are there any farmer trainers anywhere? I haven't seen one since Celondim and there hasn't been one in Buckland or Bree as far as I can tell. Also, I'm going to use this opportunity to say how stupid I find the way professions are organised with the whole groups of three things. All it seems to mean is that only 1.5 of your professions are any use to you. I'm a woodsman hunter and right now I'm building up a ton of leather I can't craft with and a whole ton of food that has zero use to me. (And it really annoys me that I can't make both bows and armour grrrrrr). This is the one area where I'm really missing WoW's mechanics. Remy Marathe posted:Here's a table for expansion prices, note that sale %'s vary (usually from 25%-50% I think) and the actual cash value of your TP will vary according to whether you buy it in bulk and how you valuate those you earned or bought bundled via VIP subscription. This is just more confusing

Am I right in thinking you need TP to buy mounts? I picked up the riding skill with my deed points and got all excited and then I was all "...oh"

Oxphocker posted:Hunters are just that easy..that's why there are so many tard hunters, because they get complacent and when they get to raids they still think herp derp shoot bow without actually thinking about raid mechanics. Eep. As someone who's barely ever done group play before in MMOs, what kinda things would I need to be thinking about? Specific boss mechanics or general skill use?

loquacius posted:Bad hunters are the ones who charge into every fight first, pull all the aggro with their bows before the tank can get to them or pull adds with indiscriminate AOEs (champs do that too), and die immediately due to being way too squishy to handle that. Just try to restrain yourself a little until the tank has everything's attention. Ah, thanks. I like to think I woulda remembered to wait for the tank to grab aggro, but in truth I probably wouldn't.

xZAOx posted:As it's much harder to play as I normally would (regain focus, set trap, pull 1-2) - instead the NPCs just charge in head first and aggro everything. And as you're a hunter you can just kill them in 2 seconds before the NPC has a chance to even get hurt. Sidebar: Traps are the most pointless skill. Why should I need them when everything dies before it reaches me?

How much XP do you get from an instance run? I've been avoiding them because in WoW you'd get a whole level from one run and I want to take it slow so I can see as much as I can

Agamaur is terrible. Who thought it would be a good idea to put in a thick red mist that obscures all your visibility? And the epic questline has strayed away from the story of the book to cover a bunch of made-up stuff I don't really care about. I get that you can't exactly make much from the one chapter that's set in the Lone-lands but it would be nice if it at least felt more integrated with the background lore instead of a total asspull. Seeing as I've essentially run out of free content I'm gonna go back and knock out some deeds, run through Great Barrows and Garth Agarwen and sort out my crafting skills and then hopefully I'll have money for a quest pack. Is it worth getting North Downs at this point or should I skip straight to Evendim? Rarity fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Jan 16, 2013 |

I'm still doing Shire quests even though I'm finished with the quest deed (Hey, that Mathom rep is important!). Yesterday I broke the Olwir instance by killing the stone troll before getting that part of the quest and now it will never be complete

Except at this point the IP holder loses nothing by selling the MMO rights to Turbine so their only concern is protecting the brand (which Turbine handles very well). As long they're happy with that then LOTRO is basically an excuse for them to get free money

So I was riding around Bree-lands to grab explorer deeds when I happened upon a locked door and stairway leading south at Ost Baranor. Thing is, there's nothing beyond that stairway on the map, it's at the edge of Bree-lands and everything south of it on the world map is just dead space. I can't even think what would be there based on the book lore. Anyone know what could be down there? Cause it seems like a zone/instance that Turbine have yet to get round to implementing but I don't know what it could possibly be.

There's no yew branches anywere. Just ash. Ash as far as the eye can see. Expert woodworking and the instances are all I've got left to do before I get a quest pack and I want to make sure I've got them done before I move on

Played my first instance today. I ran a few in WoW but never really felt like I knew what was going on, but playing as a hunter means I can see my surroundings and actually understand everything around me. It helps that I'm running at higher than 10fps too. I only accidentally pulled aggro like, twice

Yeah, there are way too many fellowship quests in North Downs. My noble attempt to solo Nan Wathren with my lvl 32 hunter ended halfway through  Evil Fluffy posted:I'd forgotten how annoying it could be to level professions at higher tiers. Needing 1040xp to master tailoring means another (roughly) 432 pristine hides needed. Fun times. Any profression you can't farm mats for yourself feels like it would be an absolute bitch.

I have never needed bank storage. In fact, I'd forgotten it existed until just now. The quest flow in North Downs is crazy. Arrive in Trestlebridge and immediately get a bunch of high level fellowship quests, no pull quest to your next hub and eventually if you find Amon Raith you get a whole load of low level solo quests. It's just bizarre.

Esteldin is pretty rad. Crafting hall AND a class trainer? I never have to wait in Bree for 5 minutes while the city loads again! In comparison to WoW it feels like this game has a whole lot more to do while you level. In that game all you really have is questing and keeping up with your professions. Whereas here I've also got deeds to work on and faction rep to grind (already kin with Bree and the Eglain!) and skirmishes. It feels like they've taken end game content and given you some of it in every zone.

I've decided to call time on the North Downs. I have 7-8 group quests left in my tracker but I'm just gonna let them chill there until I'm a bit higher level. Last night I spent over an hour soloing the Etten Caves without finding any quest objectives I needed and I've had enough. Gonna get my Lone Lands deeds, do a run through Garth Agarwen and then head on to Evendim.
