    Got a question. Thanks for your time in advance.

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 07:03 AM PDT

    Tomorrow is payday I'm going to put at least $30/3 months down for VIP. I'm just about to finish Shire questing of which I've taken my sweet time. I don't own any exp or quest pack so I feel 3 mo of VIP is for savoring my time in Eriador before buying a quadpack or expansion trove.

    My question is whether I should continue with my current toon and do the above and pretty much solo everything in Eriador? Or should I join Treebeard and reroll (in Ered Luin perhaps) from the beginning to experience the organic group content: (small) fellowship quests, instances, skirmishes etc.?

    I know it's called deadly, but is it really though? Most times a game calls it deadly or expert it's actually pretty easy , just barely more difficult.

    Item Analysis and GUIDE!! -- How to maximize your character at 50 -- There is a massive difference between your average player and one that will cash our to create overpowered version of 50 character notable for current "Legendary" server or Regular more even

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 07:16 PM PDT

    I will pin-point you several ways that certain folk will always have an upper hand it does make enormous difference, they have it in such a way that Certain Loot-box Jewellery , Dozen of boosts, buffs via Store. Ability to have +278 to Fate ,Might, Vitality, Will, Agility at 50 from Stats Tomes Rank 11 makes LARGE BOOST. it adds. I can tell you already 278 vitality is extra 1390 morale , 278 might is around 10-12% total melee damage for instance. I tested it with trail food

    Why is unfair and ABSURD? Broken , you pick the word, but OVERPOWERED! SO BY VALA GO FOR IT!

    1) TRAIL FOOD DIFFERENCE - PROVEN , go in game and test it by yourself if you do not believe it. I am here to present you what tis.

    If you use +89 Might Jam Superior my melee damage Mastery went from 119,3% - 123,3% which means 89 might gives total 4% melee damage. 89x3 = 267 that is 12% at least total melee damage from Passive Rank 11 from STORE which is HUGE too be honest. All that adds. Now imagine 12 players doing Tier III raid having all of them extra 12% damage on Thorog compared to your NON BOOSTED RAID. that is - or +144% total damage cash out on boss if you do the math just from PASSIVE STATS and then lets add +5% attack damage bonus from store too do the rest. These boosts and such power should not exist it s not fair least to say.

    Ultimately 12 players with maxed might or will from passive rank 11 via store at 50 and using +5% damage bonus all of them will slam Boss for extra 60% more damage! total 204% extra Damage if every party member has full stats passive and attack damage bonus***.*** Fascinantingly unfair is it not? It does make even more difference if done at higher Tiers.

    Will +278 Tactical mastery 12%-13% total tactical damage difference.

    Fate +278 extra will have some impressive in combat morale and power regeneration at 50.

    Agility I do not know but I saw notable Evade rating boost +278 extra.

    You would think these numbers 278 are not big they make notable difference at level 50 , at 130 they are nothing, irrelevant almost.

    Also I can tell you that Superb jewellery of Rabbit ,Hart ,Fox is superior to any even Motes, Crated or Raid drop WHICH MEANS GAMBLE and random chance ,keys Lol is best? You can check Wiki and compare. It has biggest stats or tactical/physical mastery which is a slap in the face and totally wrong considering solo player can get best possible stats and gear from opening boxes.

    Superb Bracelet of Aurochs for instance is better than Etched Beryl or any raid drop or even motes Coffer box or any quest at 50 so makes Lootbox superior to anything

    That is bracelet same thing for Necklace /Ring/Earning and

    • +100 Might+123 Vitality+611 Block Rating+146 Maximum Morale+1 Patience
    • I has highest block rating, highest might stats and highest vitality

    Fox Necklace --

    +64 Agility+123 Vitality+824 Physical Mastery Rating+45 Maximum Power+3 Loyalty+5% Out of Combat Run Speed

    Highest mastery to any other jewel at 50. Now I ask Devs WHY ON EARTH did you make Loot-box lottery gear best of the best compared to dedicated crafters and Raid even?? It makes zero sense. Its slap in the face really?! Cmon.

    You have a legendary server with new difficulty ,you have groups that will always have upper hand , all these titles all that who did what or did not drops on deaf ears when its extremely selective and not balanced.

    2 ) Let us go to store --

    Max power/ morale +5% all of it adds

    Tome of Defence -10% damage no need for explanation here

    Scroll of Finesse helps with Higher Tiers , adds 4% more penetration

    Often neglected but Disarm/Silence immunity from store can make difference too in some duels.

    Combat run speed boost +20% for classes not having sprint, charge or other run boosts.

    Hope +5 that stacks with other Hope negating any Dread. That means no negative effects any boss at all. Think about what -4 dread effect does next time check how weakened you will be.

    Rejuvination potion +15% morale, power both heal every 2 minutes difference between life and death often if last resort and timed well.

    Fall injury immunity - Rather used as tactical advantage at landscape or speeding things up not having your legs broken but it can be used to great effect when kitting and soloing too.

    Battle potion of Restoration is very useful if you are not Guardian that cannot cure 4 negative effects every 5 seconds, still 3 removals every 1 minute helps a lot.

    BUBBLE MORALE POTION you think its not that good, well bubble shield granting 1442 morale extra Cooldown 1 minute, adds adds all of it. Used as a last resort it can save one's life combined with Rejuvination potion.

    Extra Tactical +685 or physical 685 Tomes -- can help with Tier II or Tier III instances. It is around 4% total fire, frost or shadow mitigation increase or at least 3,7% minimum. yea but these things add and Do not forget WARDING LORE will stack and then there is Skirmish pot , actually original Helegrod Fire mitigation , now changed to tactical. Pot of Rinegen salve that adds over 553 tactical - Duration 5 minutes and can be used in COMBAT.

    We are talking here 685+598+553 at least doing math again -- 1836 Tactical mitigation from external sources to assist thee in boss or some difficult encounters that's pretty large bonus.

    Not important out of combat 10% run speed is great it actually adds stacks with High elven out of combat too but in combat its useless , food store is effective bonus.

    IF YOU ARE 50 Maximum class trait points are 34 ,but you can HAVE MORE with buying 200 promotion points that will unlock your last bonus in certain skill line grant final which can make big difference or giving 2 skill points. 36 total if you decide to do big battles at 50 or "cheat" with buying that will cost you a lot 200 promotion points 395 LP x20 - 7900 LP but all for being super uber at 50 WHY THE HELL NOT?

    3)

    LEGENDARY WEAPON/UTILITY AT 50 BUT THERE IS A CATCH TOO if you are 50 you will get your weapon and belt as guardian for example but WHY IS THERE A CATCH?

    Whatever you get your legacies at 50,major or minor from Volume 2 Epic book 1 are once and never again ,you will not be able to change them. Because next minimum level is 51 or 53 to use and level legendaries and decon to get legacies and you are 50, there is no way from store to buy minor/major legacies and Imbued replacement does not work and YOUR OTHER CHARACTER if you do it its BOUND. it may sound complicated but to put it simply --

    if 50 you wont be able to change your legacies of your third age weapons from Epic quest any way you imagine unless you hit 51, but do you want to go to 51 or 53? Also Good luck finding level 51 Third age weapon its a world drop only. You can barter level 53 from Rusted Dwarf tools at barter vendor or meld level 55's

    so whlist you can use Legendary at 50 you will have to be satisfied with randoms that will be frustrating because if you lack warrior heart heal or catch breath morale heal or some force taunt or crucial legacies on champion such is 50% critical damage you will severely handicaped and unlucky.

    4) You can use Tier 6 Food as level 50 because their minimum level is 50 therefore Supreme lores and trail food ,cooked food will still work giving you extra boost.

    5) REGARDING THE BEST ARMOUR , WEAPONS non legendary and Jewels

    As I said for jewelery nothing will surpass - Lootbox ,followed by which is tricky there because of scaling and messed up system there are some instances that will drop or Landscape Nadhin teal 4 slot gear or you can get

    - Coffer Wayfarer Motes Armour is lame but you can choose whatever you want and its pretty good , actually shield heavy for example is almost equal as crafted teal shield for heavy which is crazy.

    - Mission jewellery which is very strong and absurd considering how easy is to get it but still less powerful than Lootbox 50 of Superb Aurochos ,Hart , Rabbit ,Bear or Fox.

    - Teal 4 essence Nadhin is unbelievably rare and unebelievably tedious and certain 50 essences even more than I never seen it drops and that you will probably need to sell your very soul to get some of it.

    - Crafted Heavy teal Mirrored armour is very solid option that will grant decent vitality, critical defence and tactical mitigation

    - Skirmish items are just average not terrible but way less potent compared to other

    - Some epic book or landscape quest rewards can be decent too keep an eye on Volume I teal and Eregion/Helegrod pocket from Reclaiming Eregion Gift quest.

    - Thaurlach loot has several orange, Epic loot such as Lash Fragment or Jewelled bell from Shadow eater or Wannir men necklace ,

    - Raid armour IS MUCH less of value now sadly because of mess and itemization. BUT I can tell you Rift armor is set is best by long shot and only armour that still HOLDS VALUE BECAUSE OF BONUSES and for Guardian is one of the best with 30% shadow negation and -20 sec Thrill of danger recovery time also has very good stats overall.

    Helegrod armor set and bonuses are much less potent so is Old Annuminas West Tower or Angmar set that is available from Gath Forthnir ONLY RIFT ARMOR can match and be most effective at level 50

    - Certain 6 man or 3 man with Greater Valorous items/even 1 slot or 2 slot essence gear and unique Angmar Teal weapons may be of good use which are found in the old non scaled Angmar instances.

    - As for highest DPS weapon non Legendary winner goes to Mirrored teal level 50 two handed/ 1 handed weapons which was boosted BUT again its ancient dwarf type of damage, may not be useful against wraiths or some other type of foes that reflect but it has best stats and highest DPS

    - IF YOU play on Legendary server some Eregion items overpowered such is one handed sword and some items there have higher stats overall because Eregion was originally part of Mines of Moria expansion NOT Old Eriador, Original.

    - There are Coffer weapons but they still have less DPS

    Should you decide to use full lootbox or maxed virtues, every single buff there is or most of them from store, every potion, scroll ,hopes, food ,Crafted weapons or Legendaries at 50 or what I wrote here be that in solo or greater effect whlist in group your character and overall experience will be drastically changed, tis unrealistic and unfair to put it very straightforwardly there because there always will be groups or individuals who will use they have on disposal , not needed ,certainly? But think of balance and fair play ,cash grab and these loopholes and ways to make one so extremely powerful at such a low level *,*BUT THEN GO FOR IT? By Tulkas and Orome.

    What is the point thou wonders? Twas complete and systematic destruction on what was once and how it feel so low that players can create Go d mode nearly of their character and putting aside already potent classes that were changed these things should not exist but they do, For real money and the sake of overpowerness one can embrace it and believe many are doing it and now think about for a moment when you see what we are have on disposal ,every single raid everything you do ,quest, title, difficulty settings, boosts, bypasses , tricks , overpowered gear, XP while crafting one of the examples cheap ways to slaughter enemy, I will be perfectly honest with thee in core your achievements and feats are little compared to era before store and Original or Mines of Moria days , particulary after Rise of Isengard increasing more with each update. Do not get on high horse. The only way when everything made sense the progression , gear ,deeds, tittles , crafting, levelling , values and little things that were precious ARE LONG Gone. game is now extremely fast ,very passive, a shadow of former self granting so much things it simplified things to such a level and opened doors to so many lazy possibilities. You 1 shoot hi enemies , you teleport to quest location, instant boost, insanely fast combat ,

    One can craft to level 50 and then wear your title proudly or undying or new titles on new servers, its a complete chaos but WAIT

    DON'T YOU WANT TO AN UBER ONE RANDIR, now is the time

    My thy path always be Star lit and Uber

    Sincere Regards

    Treebeard class selection help!

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 07:55 AM PDT

    Hey lotro folks! Just rolled on treebeard. Started as a guardian. As I was questing every single person I met was a guardian. So I figured I'd better roll something different. I would like to heal/support. Minstrel isn't very appealing to me. How are RKs and captains at healing? Is LM great as support? Which is better for support the LM or the burglar? All I want is be a valuable asset to groups, and not have too much trouble leveling. Thanks!
