lotro screen caps
here's some screencaps from Lord of the Rings online :)
here is my favorite leather armor I've had so far. I'm level 19 here. I picked up this armor doing quests in Ered Luin in the elven and dwarven lands. it's forest green with some bronze, yellow and crimson stitching on it. great for my profession as a hunter. the gloves, shoulder pads and leggings. everything matches.
now this set of medium armor on the other hand totally sucks! I'm level 21 here and I purchased this set of armor super cheap at the auction house. the thing is this armor actually is so much stronger and durable than the other armor but it looks like crap! it's colorless tan leather armor with the regular stitching. sure it all matches with each other but it all matches in its crappy glory :/ I'm hoping I can get something better in the next level or 2.
here I am (in my awesome green armor still) at level 19 talking with Strider. we're hanging out together at a campfire talking about rangers and the shire and uh food of course ^^; and our outfits sorta match too. he was cool.
this is me in the Barrow Downs. that neat looking carved stone gateway behind me was part of some ruins I came across while trying not to be killed by Barrow Wights ^^; I was level 20 there.
there I am fighting a Barrow Wight. this type of Wight were the tougher ones. they literally puked some kinda noxious fumes on me. disgusting. I'm using my axe and mace there in a double handed attack. the bow is on my back for long distance attacks.
here is Tom Bombadil. he's a pretty happy guy that likes to skip around and sing songs and tell poetry. I hung out at his home for awhile to relax after wandering thru the Old Forest to get to him. he loves flowers so I went and got some for him. then he told me about those Crebain birds I wrote about in my other post. good guy.
an interesting scenery shot while I wandered in the Bree Fields. the sky looked so ominous to me that day. and yes I was in that nasty looking armor too in this picture. probably warning me how bad my armor looks! lol :/
so yeah I've been playing Lord of the Rings Online like crazy the past few days. I'm trying to get my Hobbit to level 25 so I can get a horse. whee. I'm a Hobbit named Marigolde Softmoon and I'm almost level 22 right now.
last week I was lost in the Old Forest in Bree-land for 3 fricken days! seriously. there was this other Hobbit who wanted me to find his damn backpack and I could NOT find the damn thing. I faught evil oak trees and big ass spiders and pissed off bears but I could NOT find that stupid pack. so like I got outta there and headed back to Bree and the Prancing Pony inn to talk to Strider and he's telling me about this other ranger he's worried about. so I go and check on that guy and it leads me to Buckland.
there was this Hobbit in Buckland in Crickhollow named Bolger who apparently the Nazgul thought he was a Baggins with the ring and like they were trying to capture him and kicked down the door of his house. so I go to check on Bolger for that other ranger and he tells me about these Crebain birds that are some sort of dark agents and they overheard him telling me that he didn't have the ring and that the ring wasn't in the Shire anymore :/ I tell Strider about this and he says that's not good news and like I need to go find these Crebain and kill them. yeah okay. well I am a Hunter afterall.
so I was back into the Old Forest again and searching for Tom Bombadil. Tom's all skipping around and singing about Goldberry. then he tells me about where to find the Crebain birds. in the Barrow Downs! I'm like dude Tom what the hell man. ^^;;
so I go into the Barrow Downs and I was in there all day today getting attacked by Barrow Wights. those things scare the CRAP outta me. seriously :/ I also had this other quest to help this lady find out what happened to her sons that went treasure hunting in the Downs. so I found a journal of one of the sons which led me to find where the other son was. he was turned into a Barrow Wight! like an evil boss one too. level 18 but a boss so that makes him like level 25 or something. so I was trying to fight this Wight. his name was Malin and he totally almost kills me. so I run like hell away.
I'm sitting on this barrow mound calling for help over the chat channel "need help with Malin in the Downs. can someone help me?" this level 48 comes hurrying over to me on his horse. we team up and he says he'll take care of Malin for me. I'm like in heaven watching this armoured guy taking out Wights left and right. we get to Malin and I talk to him and my knight in shining armor totally kicks his ASS! I was SO HAPPY! quest completed.
then on the way outta the Downs I find the place where the Crebain birds are. they're being controlled by some evil lady. tough! I tried to attack and kill her and she calls her damn birds and they're attacking me too. so guess what? I died! :/ but as I was running I heard someone else attacking her. so I wake up in the ring of stones near Tom Bombadil's house in the Old Forest. and I'm like "crap" because I have to leave the forest and head back into the Downs to try again. as I'm heading outta the forest I notice my quest log says "talk to Tom Bombadil" and I thought it meant I had to reactivate the quest again because I died. that's not what it meant. someone else killed her for me and I got the credit for it! it totally ruled. I wonder if it was my knight! grin :)
so now I'm taking a much needed break and I think I'll head into Bree for awhile for a rest. I can't stay away for too long because the free peoples of middle earth need my help! click friend and enter! ♥
I hope you enjoyed my recent adventures in Middle Earth! ♥
