I mentioned something about life throwing a curveball, it ended up being far worse than that. Dimzad (my husband) was diagnosed with late stage cancer on the 20th December. He had shown no symptoms until then and was only 45. The hospital did their best but it was too advanced and he passed on the…
happy new year
well, this was going to be the year when I posted regularly (again… i know, i still believe that at some point in time i will) but life has thrown a curveball and I have no idea what the year will bring. So i can’t promise that or even aim for it. I will be…
#lotro barrows and festivals
I keep veering between racing* to 50 and a must do all the things, completionist playthrough on my main on Ithil (I switched servers in the end as that’s where my Kin ended up). I’m currently trying out a compromise of getting all quest / exploration deeds done and slayer deeds at least the first…
#lotro another lore-master
I’m still slightly obsessed with the legendary servers – I think it’s down to the general business of the areas, knowing that there is a very reachable cap on play and the infectious enthusiasm of the players. I’ve also got my characters ‘right’ this time. Names, origins, races, crafting and suchlike. At times, I wonder…
#lotro Dwarven Realms
Blue Mountains: known as Ered Luin in Sindarin. Mines of Moria – Moria is Sindarin for Black Abyss. Also known as Khazad-dûm in Khuzdul (meaning Dwarves’ Delvings/Mansions) and Dwarrowdelf (archaic Westron for Dwarf Delving) The dwarves fled Moria after awakening the Balrog and settled in the Grey Mountains, where, due to the dragons gaining strength,…
#lotro hunter mirkwood outfit
I wanted an outfit for my Mirkwood elf for when she visits Felegoth, I wanted her to fit in and look like she belonged. I’m not convinced I managed that but what I did manage was to basically recreate my Minstrel’s outfit… doh! anyway, I liked the shots so… Back: Cloak of the Wind-Singer (dyed…
#lotro Lore-master solo PVE build (U23)
NB. This is a compilation of the advice I have found in various places and the things that seem to work for me. I’ve not had any problems soloing (including resource instances and similar in Mordor / Grey Mountains) with this setup. Having said that, there is always room for tweaking and improvement – if…
#lotro constellations
valacirca (Q. Sickle of the Valar) – known to us as Ursa Major. remmirath (Netted Stars) – known to us as the Pleiades menelmacar (Q. Heaven-Swordsman) – known to us as Orion. Valacirca and Menelmacar are both Quenya words rather than Sindarin. Information from Tolkien Gateway.
#lotro legendary server
I was a little sceptical at first, I wasn’t sure what the point was when, theoretically, you could do the same thing on the normal servers. I had a fear of missing out though, so I decided to roll a character and check it out. Fortunately, I waited until this morning to do so and…
