Playing for Points

Introduction

I have so far gotten around 1400 points from playing my main, and an alt that I tried to farm points through the Deed system, but following a slayer guide got very stale, and from mechanically repeating the same thing, I figured, following that allegedly efficient guide isn't bearable. This guide is dedicated to other poor people like myself, that want to enjoy the full extent of this game, but can't afford to buy VIP, and farming NPC's brings down their overall experience. I'll be focusing on every exploitable source of LOTRO Points through this walkthrough, up until the 5th, payed for, zone, giving you tips on how to go through it as relaxing as leveling your main was.

Class and Race

First off, it's not entirely important what class or race you play, since this guide's purpose is to avoid making you sick off NPC farming, but since you'll be deleting it after you either finish or you get tired of it, to get that crucial character slot for future farming, what's best, in regards to starting position, movement boosters and damage, is the Dwarf Hunter.

Sources of Wealth

What most people focus on in their point farming sessions is zone deeds, but, although the fastest to finish, those aren't the only sources that you can potentially get rewarded for your efforts.
There are 3 types of zone deeds:

• Slayer.
• Quest.
• Discovery.

These 3 will get you around 700 Points after completing all 4 free zones provided by the game.
There are 3 other sources of Points: Class, Race, and Reputation. These 3 are usually seen as difficult to farm, and thus ignored.
However, by combining Class with Slayer, and Quest with Reputation, you'll easily boost that total you'll get at the end with at least 100 more points, while feeling like you're playing, not farming.

Actual Walkthrough

So you created your Dwarf Hunter, and you're in the tutorial zone. Rush through that, don't look back at it, not even Class Deeds are made available until you reach level 5. Out of the 3 specs, choose Trapper of Foes, because some Hunter Class Deeds require you to use skills made available only by it. You can later, obviously, change it. This spec comes with perks itself, one of them is being able to set traps without waiting, which is easing the process of Deed progression.
Don't open the Welcome Gift. Although almost everything inside is very useful and transferable to your main, you'll fill your inventory for the moment. If you do because you're impatient, send everything to your main as soon as possible.
When you finish the tutorial, you'll be spawned at Thorin's Halls, pick up every quest you see, and start doing them, up until you hit level 5. One of the quests is about getting professions, you can ignore that one, since there is no Deed about professing. Check your Class deeds, swipe the hotkey page, and put the first 4 Class Deed required skills in the hotbar. Spam those 4 until level 10, then add the next 4, etc. This will let you focus on completing the Deeds available as soon as they are, rarely will you have to spam the spell while sitting in place. Don't worry about what you kill, every dead NPC means contribution to your Deeds. Do not sell the trash you get from the mobs until you turn in your 5 Daily Tasks, since you can't, first off, transfer money with a free account, and second off, using them on Tasks gives you Reputation.
Whenever you finish your Skill Deed progression, you can take a break until the next day, when you can make progress for it again. This isn't necessary, but will help your experience to be less boring. Whenever you finish 3 of a Class Deed set, you'll get at least 15 LOTRO Points, and, a bonus skill point. While progressing, buy rations from vendors, and use them whenever you remember. Gold will be deleted with your character when you've drained every bit of it's Point's sources, so spend away.
Use Whiteberry's utterly amazing guide for progression without aimlessly wasting time trying to find a place you don't know the wearings of.
Make your way through the 4 starting zones, exploit to the maximum your class deeds while doing the over-estimated Zone Deeds. The Race Deeds will, in most cases, progress without you noticing. Reputation, however, will be more difficult to obtain. The only place where you'll easily be Kindred with will be the Men of Bree.

What Now

You're in Lone Lands, wondering how can you delete this new character you had a genuine experience with, and thinking I'm ♥♥♥ing lier, since you didn't get as much points as to make a difference, the Tasks didn't give you the rep expected, and some class deeds aren't yet done.
No worries! If you just want the rep, just go back to the zones you know quests give a certain type of rep.
But that won't solve your Class Deeds problem will it? There's another way to get both Class Deeds, and Reputation Deeds, while feeling a lot more grindy.
Do the available skirimishs, focus on Lieutenants, killing 5 of one type will give you 50 Marks, after 45 more, you'll get 500 more Marks. Use those marks to get gear from the skirimishs vendors with blue markers over their heads, usually gathered in one place. You'll get Marks for killing skirimishs mobs anyway, so don't worry of running out.
Now you have some Marks, not knowing yet what the hell is wrong with me for putting you to so much work just to not get bored. If you need Reputation on your main, hop over on it, look for the Reputation items Marks vendor. Exhaust your supply of Marks until you're satisfied or you run out of it, hop back on your Point farmer, raise his Reputation from the same vendor. Up until level 40, new factions will be made available to raise your Reputation with. Max your main up, and use whatever is left on your Dwarf. Use the LOTRO Wiki to figure out how many Reputation Items you need to get to the next status. Do not invest in Reputation Items if you're not sure they'll get you to the next status, the later available Reputation Items cost more, and more.
Keep doing this until:

• You're completely sick of those 2 skirimishs you keep spamming.
• You're completely out of skirimishs Deeds to do and Marks income slows down.
• You're completely over the Point farming run and want to start over fresh.

Congratulations!
You've reach the end of the guide. By following these instructions, you'll end up with аbout:

• 75 Points from Race Deeds (if you reach level 40).
• 110 Points from Class Deeds (if you reached level 50).
• 400 Points from Reputation Deeds (if you reach level 40).
• 185 Points from Ered Luin Deeds.
• 150 Points from The Shire Deeds.
• 255 Points from Bree-land Deeds.
• 180 Points from The Lone-lands Deeds.
• For a grand total of 1,355 LOTRO Points!

You can do this 3 and a half times and get the Eriador Quest Pack, that will give you access to Eriador zones, which will make your future Points farming even more enjoyable, or you can do this twice and wait for the discount (if one ever comes again).
Don't forget to open the Welcome Gift, and send your account bound premium items and crafting items to your main!

Sakura spirit 2 release date. It's been a couple of weeks since first opened the Mines of Moria and, after sampling its delights, we're more certain than ever that it greatly enhances the already superlative experience of. With new classes, new legendary items, new story chapters and one of the most iconic locations in the fantasy genre, it's a sure bet to please most MMO fans. You'll be stepping into the Mines of Moria as part of a dwarven reclamation project, intended to recapture and restore the Mines in the wake of the Fellowship's foundation-rattling passage through the ancient dwarven kingdom.The content in The Lord of the Rings Online is more linear and more focused on narrative than you'll find in most other MMOs. Where games like World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online have plenty of interesting story arcs in their varied quest hubs, they tend to present them as independent theme parks; you show up, ride the rides and then move on to the thrills that are lying just down the road. Being based on the richest and most celebrated fantasy book of all time, The Lord of the Rings Online has more opportunity (and greater need) to connect all the elements of the story into a cohesive whole.

To be fair, there are still plenty of interesting diversions and peripheral encounters, but the chapter-by-chapter progression of the story makes the overall context of your adventures just as engaging as the actual gameplay.Collector's Edition Content Collector's Edition comes in the book style packaging that we've seen in other MMO CEs. And though it's a bit smaller than most, it's no less attractive. The dark red color and raised texture of the edition truly gives it the feel of an old, well-worn book.But it's what's inside the box that really counts. Inside you'll find three maps. One is a 22' by 22' cloth affair that shows all the key areas of Moria. While not particularly practical as an actual reference during gameplay, it has a certain charm. The other map, from the Angmar special edition, shows more of Middle-earth, from Eriador to Mordor, but it's far too small and blurry to be of much use at all.

It seems odd that they included this, because the third map is basically a bigger, clearer version of the same territory.If you're really into pretentious affectation, you'll be happy to see the CE includes a gold-plated replica of the One Ring. The publishers score big points for having the actual inscription stamped into the inside and outside of the Ring, but they lose points for making it much too small to fit the average MMO gamer's finger. Then again, given the corruption and danger that comes from actually using the Ring, maybe that was intentional. Since you won't likely be able to put it on your finger, the publishers were nice enough to include a necklace and a small leather pouch that is also suitable for holding dice or weed.You'll also get an art book and a soundtrack CD. The art book is nice by itself, but it pales in comparison to the similar offerings we've seen from the World of Warcraft and Warhammer CEs, both in terms of the size and number of pages. The artwork itself is very good, but we wish there was more of it and that it was rendered at a larger size. The soundtrack CD is quite excellent and showcases the fine work Chance Thomas and Stephen DiGregorio did to add layers of mood and atmosphere to the game.The Collector's Edition also includes a few virtual treasures as well, including three in-game tokens that you can use to claim some minor rewards within the game, as well as a special badge you can use in the LOTRO forums.The only real kicker is that the Collector's Edition is a full forty bucks more than the Complete Edition.

Ultimately, the soundtrack and the in-game rewards are the most attractive items in the package, but unless you absolutely have to have everything, you're better off going with the cheaper Complete Edition.The+overall+design+or+Moria+is+spectacular.Fortunately, this is a trend that has been amplified in The Mines of Moria. The expansion pack adds lots of atmosphere and detail to the game world in one of the whole genre's most ambitious and successfully realized locations, the dwarven kingdom of Khazad-Dum. The whole mission to reclaim the Mines has attracted not only the attention of the dwarves, but also a few of Middle Earth's resident villains who have sent their orc and goblin forces in to stake their own claims. The player's involvement increases from basic pest control duties at the beginning to uncovering the strategies and battling the bosses of the various factions. Along the way there are loads of quests that help you connect with the history of the Mines and, in a few rare cases, even take part in solo instances of Khazad-Dum's past. Of course, you can play the game just as easily by focusing solely on the objectives, but you'll be missing out on a lot of the story that gives the quests a sense of substance and significance.There are three new areas in The Mines of Moria: the Mines themselves, and the bordering zones of Eregion in the west and Lothlorien in the east.

Though the two outside zones have their own content, the real star here is the Mines. This vast, sprawling zone is easily one of the most impressive MMO environments we've ever explored, both in terms of overall layout and mood. The scale here is simply ridiculous and it's a credit to the art and technology teams that they've created a space that really feels like a giant underground kingdom. Even in the most open of areas, of which there are many, you never lose the sense that there's an entire mountain just hanging over your head.Given the associations fans have with the book and the movies, it's commendable that Turbine has come up with a Moria that is at once both familiar and unpredictable. The dwarves' geometric stone work provides a sure sense of magnificence and history, with lots of little details that emphasize the disrepair and dustiness that have taken hold since the kingdom was originally lost. The areas controlled by the goblins are even more rundown and ramshackle, and this contrast works well to highlight the personalities and agendas of both races.

Deus ex mankind divided review. Treasuries, libraries, throne rooms, waterworks and a host of other specific locations reveal that Turbine has tried to design Moria as a coherent, functioning kingdom, and not as an arbitrary collection of generic rooms.Though+you+start+out+killing+bugs+and+such,+things+get+dangerous+very+quickly.The vast changes in scale and the sometimes twisted nature of the pathways and levels of Moria make it relatively easy to get lost on your way from A to B, and that provides a great sense of adventure and uncertainty. Winding your way down dark, narrow tunnels or climbing massive wooden scaffolding on the side of a bottomless chasm, you never really know what you're going to find around the next bend or on the next level. And what's particularly great about this type of design is that Moria often reveals stunning vistas that give you a far off glimpse of an interesting area with no clear path leading there. It's almost like the game is daring you to find a way to the new location.And obviously, the confusing and daunting architecture is only one of the dangers in Moria. Players will encounter a number of terrifying and deadly creatures right from the start, from the goblins who can swarm on a player at a moment's notice to the deep claws who can literally toss players right off the edge. From there players will graduate to even tougher opponents and even encounter a number of bosses who have their own dynamic strategies that change during the course of combat. Trying to read your boss opponent to find out just how best to attack them while also dealing with their hordes of rank and file minions requires careful attention and coordination.
