[Mr Pokemon]

Are you going to make a kinship?

[Urmel]

Are you going to make a kinship?

Yeah, we just need to have 8 people before we can make it.

[Pubbles]

Alright.

I'm in.

Right now (have to go to work) I stopped as a Level 6 Lore-Keeper named Keanan.

I forget where I am though.. It just outside the starting area for an Elf... (the option on the top when creating a character, I think... More details later)

So far so good.

It Works!!

I'm excited,

I'm an Elf Hunter named Angiecakes, by the way.

[Urmel]

I added you all to my friendslist. Don't be surprised when some dude named Coolhorse sends you a message :3

Seems like it's possible to take low level players in an instance for 20+. So for those who want a lot of experience in a short time, feel free to contact me and Urmel when we're online . We will take you in the instance and defeat the enemies, you'll get the exp

I'll take that offer. I hate leveling anyways.

I've updated the start post with the people who are playing LOTRO including their in-game character name and class.

Seems like we have enough people to start a kinship, the only thing which is left is for everyone to be online

[Mr_Dark]

Anyone started crafting yet?

Crafting in LotRO is unique. In other MMOGs, a player would simply choose a crafting profession and then proceed with making “stuff”. The profession would come with a basic set of recipes with the number of available recipes (and their complexity) increasing as the player’s crafting level increased. In LotRO, we have the concept of a Vocation which is made up of three Professions.

More info: http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Crafting

I've chosen Armsman, so I create weapons Since we're going to start a Kinship, it might be nice for everyone to have a different vocation. Like when I'm mining copper/tin/iron I also get gems which can be used by the Tinker vocation (Jeweler). But also looting mobs will get me stuff I can't use because I don't have that profession.

I'm sure there are more vocations who get stuff other vocations can use, so that way we can help each other out. And also, it's a nice way to make some extra money

[Mr Pokemon]

I'm an explorer. I make light and medium armor, and can also turn raw wood into carved wood (But can't make things out of wood.) I can also collect metals, but I hardly ever do that, as my main focus is crafting armour for myself.

Virtue Traits
Why didn't you add one of the following virtues:

Honesty
+123 Max Power
+270 Armour
+7 Fate

or

Empathy
+430 Amour
+15 Fate
+609 Fear resistance

From what I see you focused on in-battle morale regeneration but think of this, when playing in a fellowship there is always 1 healer (is possible 2).

Race Traits
Looks good

Class Traits
Think you've chosen the most suitable traits here. Lots of aggro generating traits, so the DPS'ers (hunters, rune-keepers) can deal the damage without worrying about getting aggro.

Legendary Traits
Same as above.

From what I see you focused on in-battle morale regeneration but think of this, when playing in a fellowship there is always 1 healer (is possible 2).

In this case I have focused on Vitality - thus Morale (Health Power).

Code: [Select]

Vitality increases your maximum morale, your out-of-combat morale regeneration, resistances to Wound, Disease, Poison and Shadow effects. It also reduces incoming damage from non-weapon sources like Fire, Frost, and Shadow.
1 point of Vitality = 3 point increase in maximum Morale. 5 point for Guardian and Warden.
1 point of Vitality = 2 point increase in Wound, Disease and Poison resist ratings

And with 'Virtuous Dwarf' as a Race Trait, Loyalty gets increased by 1 (to a stage of maximum 11 instead of 10), meaning that I'll get +33 Vitality. That's 165 to maximum Morale.

I guess that I could use the fear resistance from 'Empathy', but is it worth it?

As goes for power: I don't really need it due to my looping shield threat.

[Mr_Dark]

I was more looking at +270 and +430 extra Amour. Since you have constant aggro (thus you receive all the damage) some extra amour points can help dealing with this.

As for fear resistance, that's just extra. But if you get too much fear it eats from your morale.
