probably

there may just not be any in the starting area i'm in.

i wrapped up my final quests there last night so it's on to the next zone. did a small fellowship to kill a lvl 11 signature creature (named creatures, basically. not rare like in wow though). the captain abilities are really a little strange seeing as they require at least one death to really get going but once you get into a rhythm, it becomes easier and easier to kill stuff, because you have the conditional skills which you may activate once an enemy dies.

though the sound effects for them are horrible. they should have gone with short snippets of speech since that's what they're supposed to represent

pulled from amazon

This is what IS included with special edition. LOTRO install DVD in rectangular cardboard cd sleave holder. LOTRO soundtrack and making of DVDs in rectangular cardboard cd sleave holder. Special product key paper with a 10 day buddy key. LOTRO quick reference card with a very general map of middle earth on back. (whole dvd case is length and width of normal game case but a little deeper.) approx. 7" x 12" map of middle earth on 20lb parchment paper. map has low contrast, so you might not recognize it when viewing across the room. paper lotro game manual. Besides the additional in game item, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE INSIDE COMPARED TO STANDARD is the parchment paper map and the soundtrack/making of dvd.

but since it was the same price as the regular edition and came with a bonus in game item (+2 morale cloak), i figured why not?

my captain, Matheson, with his gimp.

i mean, herald.

Crafting in this game is a whore.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #67 on:** April 07, 2008, 11:50:14 PM »

And yeah, the whole 500 Gold for a 20 Stack of Rowan Treated Wood is fucken ridiculous. Who are these fuckfaces charging so much and who are the fuckfaces that are buying them?

I'm totally creating another character in a week or so, along my main character.

Eric P · « **Reply #68 on:** April 07, 2008, 11:54:41 PM »

i was questing tonight with two captains as a fellowship. it was pretty damn cool. we'd trade off our healing shout/ faster attack shout based on cool down. we were doing quite well i think.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #69 on:** April 08, 2008, 08:34:31 PM »

Not having any healing abilities with the Burgler was busting my balls...then I leveled to level 12

I'm now able to restore Morale (Health) by taking away a trick from an enemy. Quite helpfull.

Also, I mastered the Apprentice Prospector tier and I'm now able to strike a Critical when crafting Ingots. What happens when I strike a Critical? I get 3 more Ingots than I would normally. Thats a nice perk.

Eric P · « **Reply #70 on:** April 08, 2008, 09:58:40 PM »

yeah i can see that

though i can't really see any problems with dying

you get a minor damage to equipment and you temporarily gain "dread"

but i haven't really had enough of it to affect me.

Eric P · « **Reply #71 on:** April 08, 2008, 10:28:02 PM »

i can't fucking believe this

i just checked my account it looks like some gamestop fuck swapped the keys on me

i have a standard account key, but paid for the collector's edition.

also my goddamn manual is supposed to be full color.

this explains why i can't get my bonus in game item.

jesus fucking christ.

lol but its new!

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #73 on:** April 08, 2008, 11:06:52 PM »

Thats fucking horrible, Eric P

Eric P · « **Reply #74 on:** April 08, 2008, 11:14:34 PM »

since it was gutted i checked the discs and the key but i had no way of knowing what i was looking for other than 2 dvds and the activation code.

it wasn't until i entered my card info that i noticed my account said Lotro Trial and Lotro Standard

fucking gamestop fucks!

You guys are making me want to play!

SpudBud · « **Reply #76 on:** April 09, 2008, 01:48:48 AM »

Man, this thread makes me want to try the 7 day trial.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #77 on:** April 09, 2008, 01:55:04 AM »

no harm in a trial

True.

I'll download it tonight and try it tomorrow.

What severs do you EBers play on?

Eric P · « **Reply #79 on:** April 09, 2008, 08:37:08 AM »

brandywine

i have a 10day code if anyone's feeling up for it.

i really like it. it's not better than wow, and the ui is pretty much the same, but the classes are somewhat different enough and i REALLY like how they introduce you to the world with the instances and pre-world.

don't play a hobbit though.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #80 on:** April 13, 2008, 05:15:56 PM »

Opened up the slot for "Class" and "Race" traits. I love the whole equipping various Traits that'll really make your character different from the base Class stats.

The "Class" trait I'm using now is "Ambidextrous" which allows more melee damage with the offhand weapon when dual wielding.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #81 on:** April 14, 2008, 09:19:38 PM »

If anyone thats actually playing this game needs some Barrow Iron, let me know. I've got like 150 Pieces of the stuff.

Eric P · « **Reply #82 on:** April 14, 2008, 09:38:00 PM »

the historian crafting class is horrible

i have not been able to find any crops for my farming and i have metalsmithing but no ability to get my own metal

i have to buy it

it makes sense from a lore perspective but as a player it's wack

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #83 on:** April 14, 2008, 09:40:45 PM »

I've seen Scholar relics at certain ruins. I wonder if thats what you need to find? They're usually little broken jugs or vases lieing around.

I can also help you with making Ingots if you need any. I usually have way more than I ever need (I'm already on the Expert Quest for my Weaponsmith ability).

Eric P · « **Reply #84 on:** April 14, 2008, 09:41:22 PM »

oh, yeah i have no problem finding relics

those are cake

just aim for ruins and i'm set

Eric P · « **Reply #85 on:** April 24, 2008, 07:18:35 PM »

yay content update

also one year anniv of release so they're putting little things into the game that you can exchange for stuff.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #86 on:** April 24, 2008, 08:40:41 PM »

Just created an alt character with the Jeweler Skill (Tinker Vocation). They can polish Gems which is handy for weaponscrafting.

And I gotta check out the stuff you can exchange for

Eric P · « **Reply #87 on:** April 24, 2008, 10:32:00 PM »

i'm low level so i can only get the tin tokens which are apparently worthless

i was seriously thinking about buying the life-time thing for $200.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #88 on:** April 27, 2008, 01:09:18 AM »

$200 should pay for itself over what? a few months less of one year at $20 a month? Not too shabby

And killing Elite Twisted Oaks in the Old Forest by myself = fucking awesome
