A Casual Stroll to Mordor

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about how we podcast, but it’s still a question that we get now and again. So I thought that it would be a good thing to go ahead and write up another article about how we podcast now that we’ve grown a bit and we have become more accustomed to podcasting in general.

s your warden starts getting into the higher levels and you finally start to get a feel for how to build your gambits, it all gets shaken up once you earn your “Masteries”.

Last time we edited a midi with the goal of creating a solo abc file. This time we will take that midi and run it through the LOTRO midi player conversion program.

When you first speak to the Relic-master the UI that pops up may seem a little daunting. I mean you’re suddenly faced with a huge UI with four tabs and a lot of choices. What do you do? What choices do you need to make? What if you make a mistake or if you’re unlucky?

My goal for this installment is to create a simple solo abc for lute. For that purpose I’ve chosen a midi for the song The Dangling Conversation by Paul Simon.

Relics, what are they good for? Well, quite a bit in-fact!

For those playing Elves, the thought of memorizing Sindarin phrases may not be interesting or fun. It seems to me that more players might be interested in adding some bits of roleplay to their adventuring, if only it was easier.

In Update 2, Legendary Items are undergoing some rather large changes. And while it would be easy to just start laying out the changes, I would rather just start at the beginning and explain fully what Legendary Items are, how they work and all that needs to be known about their functions in order to start getting into the system and making use of it.

You’re looking at all the names of people who transcribe abcs for others and thinking to yourself, “I can do that too! But…how?” You’re right. You can do it. And in a series of instructional posts I will show you exactly how.

So he finally did it. He /kneeled and popped the question. Now after the big excitement of typing the most significant three letters of your virtual gaming character, Yes!, one big question mark remains. How the frack do I plan a LOTRO wedding?

One of the most enjoyable and certainly most unique features of LOTRO is the Player Music System. It allows players to produce music in game through both manual, free-form play as well as pre-made abc music files.

Apart from the kind of event you want to plan, choosing your location is by far the most delicate decision you’ll make about your party. Here are some ideas and suggestions from our team of party planners!

To continue the Middle-Earth Costumes series, I thought I’d share with you a tutorial on how to make your own elven ears. They are very easy to make, and are a great addition to any costume!

Before you can begin crafting anything, you must first open the Crafting Panel. Of course, what you see on your crafting panel is directly related to which vocation you have chosen. However, beyond specific professions and recipes available to you, each vocation’s crafting panel is the same. What you make will be different, but how you make it will be determined in the same ways.

It seems there’s still a bit of confusion out there on how to install plugins. Sometimes a video cannot be substituted for the written word, so I thought it would be good to go ahead and write up some written instructions to accompany my previous video.

Now that you’ve chosen a crafting vocation, it’s time to get to work! Of course, before you can start making weapons and armour and jewelry and food, you’re going to need some basic materials.

Lord of the Rings Online is a very rich, detailed world. The developers put a lot of effort into capturing the essence of real life in the game, so naturally you want to take screenshots and share the beauty with others! Here is the first in a series of posts with some beginner tips and tricks to help you get the screenshot you want.

A set of fair and well-enforced rules help build a structure for your raid that helps keep people on the same page and will do well in earning you the respect you need to do your job effectively.

The biggest key in raid success and especially in succeeding as a raid leader is communication. Everything from basic rules and strategy to who needs to go AFK and when needs to be communicated. If nobody knows anything because nothing has been communicated then the raid will inevitably fail and the leader will have failed as a leader.

I have done quite a bit of research on how “professional” podcasters record and what equipment they use so I feel that I do have some idea of what it takes to create a quality recording. That being said, I feel that podcasting is simply able to be done with a microphone and a computer.

Our raiding readiness calculator will help you determine if you have acquired enough radiance items to join in raid dungeons that have gloom auras.

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 [...]
