Richard M Nixon posted:I'm looking forward to coming back to the game for a bit and playing the new regions, hopefully sometime over the weekend. I guess server transfers aren't going on quite yet? It would be cool to see a larger pop server with more events being run. Only European server transfers are currently active (and only between the destination servers; the other servers aren't consolidating on yet). I made a new character on Landroval myself, though, and holy crap, it's already such a difference. I'm eager for the completed consolidation.

Zipline posted:I'm interested in getting back into this. I played LoTRO for 3-4 months in 2013 as a VIP and it was some of the most fun I've ever had in an MMO. The Shire is great, sure, but I really like the Archet/Combe/Staddle/Bree area, one of the best starter areas I've ever had the pleasure to play in. The problem I'm facing is lack of content. I am currently level 33, having completed most of the North Downs and Lone Lands except for some of the group content. I own Mines of Moria and Mirkwood, as well as... something else I think, but I don't remember how to check what content I own. I want to go VIP again but not until transfers from my server, Imladris, are opened. Until then how can I level from 33 to Moria? And is there a way to check what content I own? I'm pretty sure Evendim is the region of choice for this, but I don't remember how to check what you own offhand. If you do own it, definitely go over that way. If you don't, I might just VIP anyway. It unlocks a lot of things that stay unlocked once you have unlocked them, and also lets you use all the 1-50 zones.

Richard M Nixon posted:Don't play champion. I hate my champion, but I'll be hosed if I'm leveling another class. It's the most numbing experience of mashing the same 4 buttons without any fucks given to what is being fought. I'd kill for a bit of complexity in my rotation. Kinda seconding this. I got bored of mine which is why I'm just starting up a Captain now (on Silverlode so I can move with the rest of the kin, so I really should get her in at one point).

Glass of Milk posted:Captain has a lot of buttons to push. The Blue line won't heal as well as a minstrel, the red line won't hit as hard as a champ, the yellow line won't survive as long as a guardian (though it is good). That's the tradeoff, plus you get a big halberd if you want. I'm enjoying mine even if it isn't the best at anything. It's great for soloing, I've found, which is what I've been doing a lot of. And banners/buffs sound like a good plan. I'm Tethelle, though I'm not on right now and might not be until late tonight. I'll see about getting a Nazgun invite if anyone happens to be on when I am (I have a character in the guild already so it's easy for me to check).

More seriously, now that I'm not phone-posting: Yeah, it's pretty, and very Finnish. It's doable if you want to go there, but a lot of people don't like it. I went on my current character long enough to get the Heroine of the Lost title, but didn't finish it off right now.

If you want to be a bear and press half as many buttons and be 90 percent as good as a warden, beorning is the best solo class.

I literally could not complete the first class quest. Dragon fodder. Or dragon chow, if you're being casual.

For your 60-65 leveling, is Mirkwood or Enedwaith the better option? (I'm a VIP right now so buying the areas is not a concern.)

Evil Fluffy posted:Unless you're skipping entire areas in Moria you'll probably be 62-63 by the time you hit Lothlorien and you can hit 65+ just by running the epic quests for that area and Mirkwood at that point. I left Moria at 60 because I have done it before but not really much past it, though I could duck back in and do Nud-melek. I'll poke around, though. Since I'm a subscriber I still might be able to do that as I seem to be getting bonus XP. Edit: Thought I'd avoid a doublepost. I didn't actually do the epic quest much while I was in Moria on this character - again, since I'd done it before. Looks like I'm still on Book II Chapter 3. Unless it's possible to 'skip ahead', I guess I know what I'm doing! Prism fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Nov 29, 2016 |

Edit: I can do some of the other quests and get a few tokens that way, at least. Double edit: though the one that's easy to do at any level has a three day cooldown (though it has seven parts so you do get multiple tokens).

As a red-line Champion, should I be dual-wielding, using a two-hander, or whichever? One-handed weapons have a listed lower DPS (on the weapon, I mean) but I don't know how much that's effectively improved by the off-hand, so I'm not sure which is the better option assuming the one-hander and two-hander are of equal quality.

extra stout posted:Two handers for red. Your options in red are pure single target damage with a bit of aoe from bladewall,or a hybrid build I do where I get champion's challenge (destroy single target bosses) but still put 1 trait point and 1 LI legacy into raging blade, the best AOE melee ability in the game. Makes the famous SHING SHING sound. This is so you can still do good AOE when adds are involved without having to work on a second weapon or switch any traits in between fights. I'm an elf if it matters (1H sword bonus) but this is about what I expected, and I've got a two-hander right now anyway - plus I'm level 77 so it doesn't really matter yet, I just wanted to know. Thanks! I'm going to start saving for Raging Blade because that sounds fun. Not sure which is Champion's Challenge. (Champion's Duel? I do have that one. It is indeed good.) Edit: 2H sword though.

xZAOx posted:At first I was like "Man gently caress these scavenger hunts" but then I remembered LOTRO wiki was a thing that exists, and that I'm a hunter. You can get a fair number of tokens from the fireworks show in Bree when it's night (2 every half hour - it actually takes about two minutes, it just has a 30m timer); I don't know if you're counting that in the sparse quests but it's super easy if you happen to be around when it's running. During the day you can do a quest every few hours instead for another two tokens, but it takes longer to do and you have to compete with other players for the activation spots.
