Posted on04. Aug, 2010 by Elborigorn.
Have you ever wondered what the difference between “threat generation” and “perceived threat” is? Or perhaps how “threat from healing” modifiers worked… Or perhaps there was something else about threat you wanted to know or weren’t aware of. Continue Reading…

Your Emotes In Action
Posted on21. Jun, 2010 by Goldenstar.
A feature in LOTRO that doesn’t get much attention but that I do use quite often is using the built in emote animations with your own emote text. It’s a wonderful option that can bring just a little extra life to your role-play or even just goofing around.

Posted on14. Jun, 2010 by Goldenstar.
There are plenty of dropped items you can find along the leveling path but there seems to be one I almost always do in the Trollshaws that is typically a nice upgrade dagger and as a level 34 quest you can get it at level 29.

Posted on02. Jun, 2010 by Goldenstar.
This is the final post in my series about the different things minstrels (or in some cases all healers) need to think about when healing a fellowship.

Posted on20. May, 2010 by Goldenstar.
Today we’re going to talk about threat management (sometimes called “aggro” or “hate”) which is something every player should be managing in a fight. The tank wants threat, everyone else wants to stay under the tank’s threat.

Minstrel Healing: Healing Priorities
Posted on18. May, 2010 by Goldenstar.
I am not saying I’m a great healing minstrel but I started in LOTRO as a minstrel class and minstrel still is my main. I am not a big fancy raid healer but I do a dungeon or raid when I can and I believe I have some tips I can share to the up [...]

Guide to Lore-master Pets
Posted on29. Apr, 2010 by Goldenstar.
Every time I see a Lore-master and his pet I turn a little green with envy at their fortune to be able to call cuddly animals to their side. I have a Lore-master back on Gladden that has been sorely neglected since I moved to Landroval and I must admit the draw to roll a [...]

A Map to The Flowers of the Old Forest
Posted on23. Mar, 2010 by Tony.
For those not familiar, this deed requires you to find several flowers scattered throughout the Old Forest. Doing quests in the Old Forest, you’ll likely run across a few of these. Finding the rest isn’t exactly a cup of tea, unfortunately, as many are in areas you really don’t have any need to visit.

PUG, Prepare for the worst!
Posted on31. Dec, 2009 by Veneration.
Throughout MMOs player interaction has created stereotypes and euphemisms that transcend gaming and enter into the vocabulary of the general public. As Goldenstar points out in “Newb vs Noob”, players of all sorts come together and often things can get hairy! These groups formed from chat requests and /lff channels can be united under one name…
