Whats up in the new year
Well the grind fest went pretty well. My main LOTRO character is now a 47 Hunter and should hit 48 before the weekend is over. I decided to take him over to Eregion to check things out since I knew that Moria’s entry was in that zone. As it turns out I wondered over to Walls of Moria ad completed that quest line. I did spend some time in Moria after I gained access; needless to say it was quite fun to see a lot of the higher level characters running about. The time in Eregion was well spent though; I did get to run with a couple of my Kin and we even were able to do one of the instances there.
All told I ended up gaining several levels and acquired some new armor and even better my first two Legendary items. The first was a bow for completing Walls of Moria. Actually you get it before you complete the quest line because you need it to kill a mob before gaining access to Moria itself. The second is a Axe although with my play style I didn’t slot it but it is leveling. If it turns out that its a decent axe then I’ll slot it but my current gear is just so much better. I did pick up a couple of other items in Moria but I deconstructed them since they had less then 3 legacies and they were not for my class.
On to my other project.. the Undying Minstrel failed in the home stretch. I was foolish and took him where I should not have and he died. But thats ok because started a Rune-Keeper right after and did take him up to 20 securing the Undying title. He is now 23 and was not defeated until trying to regain Weathertop.
I did manage to finish the Yule bar fights on both as well as collect all of the cosmetic garb. So all in all a great grind!
