Evendim is one of the nicer leveling zones, but would be even nicer if it was about 40-50% shorter.

Hello Sailor posted:You're probably better off just harvesting metal and/or lumber near you as you adventure and selling it at the AH, then using the money to buy levelling gear off the AH or paying a crafter to make it directly. People like jeweling for the hope tokens too. Used to be you could make the best LIs with crafting. Not sure if that's still the case.

I feel like Evendim does a good job at presenting the Dunedain as this semi-nomadic diaspora occupying the tattered ruins of their former glory desperately trying to safeguard what little remains of their cultural heritage from tomb robbers/the forces of darkness/pissed off spirits. The stuff with the Guaredain is not great, though.

Crafting has gotten pretty pointless save for levelling gear and consumables (and also powerlevelling if you just want to stare at a farming field for an hour)

And even then, with the exception of Mordor, it's not like leveling is hard. You'll be more than fine in quest gear. And if you find something where you're not, it's probably because they broke something and didn't fix it. They tend to break scaling with old epic quest scenarios or whatever here and there. You can use crafting for essences at least, yeah? Isn't that the main value? But that's so time gated and obtuse, at least the last time I glanced at it, that it completely turned me off even thinking about it.

It's worth noting that Evendim is a good, efficient zone now. This was not always the case and for anyone who's thinking "why does everyone talk about swimming when you can boat everywhere" well because those boats didn't exist before the zone got revamped years ago. You'd just jump in the lake, point in the direction of your quest's area, hit auto

The anniversary is on the 24th, so probably the 20th or so? For some reason I thought it was announced for the 12th but I think I'm getting my wires crossed with 14.

It's a real good thing Hunters can teleport to campfires because Goblintown sure is a pain to navigate through.

Evil Fluffy posted:Old Forest used to be the worst hell zone. Something that I’ve come to realize recently is that LotRO is the only MMO I’ve played that can do properly immersive forest zones. Old Forest and Fangorn might be annoying to navigate, but they’re far more interesting than when designers in other games just plop down 15-30 tree models on a plain and call it a forest.

Yeah Old Forest was definitely immersive. Trying to do quests in there was hell though. I 2 manned a bunch of it with my roommate at the time and we joined up with some others for a few quests but navigating it was hell, though that was likely by design and probably why it got changed since so many people hated trying to navigate a maze full of signature and elite mobs to do quests whose rewards were honestly pretty bad from what I can remember. It's like someone took an area from Dark Souls and stuck it in Shadows of Mordor.

I might jump back in and try a beorling or something. I played for a few months in late 2020 and got a hunter to around level 100, they're fun and the fast travel is so good. Any other classes that are fun and got a rebalance or anything?

Lum_ posted:yeah, you're gonna wanna log in after the update I assume stuff like the Gift of the Valar is account bound so you can log in on whomever and then pass stuff to alts who need X or Y? If I play again I'd probably make a Beorning instead of leveling my champion in Rohan or playing my Captain in west(?) Gondor. Seeing "massive pile of scraps worth 2 gold" as a VIP present is really funny.

Comrade Koba posted:Which class would benefit most from this? That is, which one has the least fun pre-50 leveling experience? Maybe captain, loremaster or burglar? Looking at the pre-50 leveling experience the two main things are how fast you can travel around, and how fast you can kill the enemies. So if you are looking at things that way I wouldn't use the boost on a hunter or warden as they have the best mobility and pretty decent combat. Captain does have a short group sprint. Beorning is one of the best soloers overall. Champion has great combat. Loremaster can be slow, but it isn't too bad, I played one on the first legendary server and did almost everything pre-50 (just skipped grinding out some of the dungeon deeds) but it did take a while. I' m not sure about runekeeper or the new brawler as I haven't played either much. Guardian is probably the baseline, not great but not bad at anything either. Minstrel used to be good at shouting stuff to death but their sound effects were too repetitive for me and I think they were nerfed within the last year or two? I'll probably use mine on a champion but I really wish it was a 60 boost because I've already played through Moria three times since the legendary servers came out (and still haven't gotten past Isengard overall).

Red line Beorning is the setup that rips through stuff with high DPS while having some self-sustain (like champion in ages past)? e: The extra stuff for the Minas Morgul collection is neat but said collection is also $80 so... :| Evil Fluffy fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Apr 20, 2022 |

Yeah, Hunter is a great class if you want to chill and have access to easy travel. Specced correctly, they are incredibly mobile and dish out amazing damage, and it's quick and easy to pop around the map. My main issue with hunter is that it felt too easy, and I ended up cranking up my difficulty significantly.
