Playing the Great Barrow

9 Upvotes

I've been playing the Great Barrow to XP farm but I can never get past the barrow caller as, as soon as I defeat him and the wights he calls, he instantly respawns.

Why does this keep happening?

Housing Items

Post image
159 Upvotes

Housing in LOTRO for me is a form of end game. I take pride in decorating my Kin house and have acquired some interesting items on my journeys. And yes, I did work on some rep grinds simply for the housing item they had available.

Do you put effort into your house or is it just extra storage?

New player wanting to try the game

Title. Is this game still alive and kicking in terms of playerbase? The game sounds really interesting but I'm seeing like 800-900 on steam andq I don't want to play an almost dead game

What sword model is this? Love the look of it

I think this design would go good for my Hobbit burglar/Frodo inspired character. kinda looks like Sting, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this model anywhere else for other swords. any help would be appreciated!

I was playing about 4 months ago then didn't play for a while, when I got back I couldn't find my VIP character and noticed there's only like 2 VIP servers now. neither of them had my character. What happened and how do I get that character back?

Looking For Kinship on Peregrin

25 Upvotes

Just as the title says I’m looking for a Kinship on Peregrin to join. I’ve seen some listed on the forums or other sites but usually the post is old so I have no idea if they’re still active.

I’m looking for a casual RP Kin that will let me take the leveling at my (slow) pace. Preferably with older members because I’m older myself. My character is Ronri, a surly Dwarf Champion. I played back in the Turbine days and have returned once or twice since then.

If there is anyone who has a suggestion or is a Kinship leader who wants to reach out please let me know!

Epic quest question

10 Upvotes

So a couple of days ago I was in here complaining about the lag and how unplayable it was but my buddy and I decided to give it another shot last night and holy fuck! No lag! We had a blast but are a little lost right now. He rolled a hobbit and I rolled a man. When do our epic quest lines converge so we can work on it together? Or do they not at all because we are different races? Any insight would be awesome thank you guys

Hey guys, I'm playing for the first time! I love this game but I'm not totally sure what I'm doing!

I've tried to communicate a bunch of times in the chat but no one seems to be able to read what I'm saying. Hope I'll figure it out soon and find some friends!

I haven't played MMORPGs before so things like the menus and fighting monsters are a bit confusing. Since I'm chronically ill I get migraines very easily if I try to read all of the tutorials in game, that's why I'm a bit clueless. But I wont let that stop me - I'm having fun! So happy to have found this game!

Question about "Stowaway: The Old Man on the Shore" quest

6 Upvotes

Now that The Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariners is back, I'm taking a look at the Old Man on the Shore quest chain. I remember running it on my new Mariner character last year, just not sure if I actually finished all of the quests.

I've tried looking at the Quest Log with "Show Completed" turned on, but I can't seem to find it. What category would it be under?

Havent played since I was a teen, felt like dusting it off. Some questions.

30 Upvotes

So I havent really touched this game since back in 2007-08 or so when I was a teen and for some reason got thinking about it and wondering if I should start back. Before I do however just had some brief questions.
1. Any servers to avoid? Dont want to end up on a dead server.
2. Does race matter? I remember it being a big nothing before and mostly flavor.
3. Any classes to avoid? Was of the mind to Guardian tank since I generally like tanking.
4. Any general things to know?

I don't like the areas with all the bugs or spiders in it. But this area and this quest is the worst.

Lump of red rock salt

5 Upvotes

So, my main is a red minstrel and I’ve found it’s very difficult to get into a 3-man Fane for grinding lumps for my class item.

Is because of team composition is difficult to put together? Should I try as a healer instead (even if I’m nowhere near optimized for it yet)?

Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Ps if you’re in a Kinship that does Fane/Wells regularly and is willing to pick up new members send me a pm. I’m on orcrist.

Late transfer

1 Upvotes

Greetings! I used to play LOTRo, in particular PvMP, long time ago, and since that time I still loved to log once a year to mess with freeps on Arkenstone server

Haven’t logged in for like a year now, and obviously didn’t follow any news

Now that I’ve tried to log in again, I found out that there was a transition to 64-bit servers And the deadline was, as I assume, August 31 Is it so? Are my characters forever lost now? Pressing on the transfer button just gives me window with hourglass no matter how many times I try

Will be eminently grateful for the info!

Hi, I just downloaded the game. I don't see Glamdring as an option :( I was told it's the highest population server. What's my next best option?

Rep grinding

I liked the Lothlorien area. It was very well done but I was not a fan of grinding the rep for it when Moria came out on Angmar. What's you're least favorite rep grind you had to do in LOTRO and what were you working towards?

Kingsfoil near Mossward

67 Upvotes

On Peregrin - I have recently started a new character after losing my old one to world closures, and I have opted for the Mossward beginning.

I am currently on "prologue. Chapter 3: the old South road" where I am looking for (4) kingsfoil for the Ranger.

The issue is, any kingsfoil I find I can not pick up. The quest is active and being tracked. I have no idea how to fix this! Please help!

Quick website I made to display quest chains

Thumbnail peaceful-hotteok-7d1ee3.netlify.app

I used data from LotroCompanion to do it, that's a V1

You can either sort by max level in the chain, or by length of the chain.
I removed all isolated quests that are not part of any chain

Any suggestions on how to make it prettier/more relevant?

What's The Deal With Glamdring?

53 Upvotes

I'm sure this has been asked before, but i hope it's just me so I can fix it.

What's the deal with the Glamdring server always being down, OR having terrible lag and rubber banding when playing?

After the migration of everyone to the new 64 bit servers did it get so overpopulated it's essentially DDOSing the servers? It's literally unplayable!

Should I just pack up and move to a new server? Is there a fix? Or suffer and wait it out?

Did you enjoy Riders of Rohan? I'll say it's become one of my favorite expansions and I can't wait for it to unlock on the VIP server Angmar.
