The Road to being the Saviour of Eriador: part one


The first step I took in completing the Saviour of Eriador was to defeat Thaurlach. The story line for this is pretty interesting, and introduces you to one of my favorite elves Glathlirel. Just look at her outfit! The fight was fairly easy, we ran it with two 85s (a loremaster and a champion) and two 75s (a ministrel (Tig) and a warden). I don't think you could complete this with any less people (maybe 3) because of the levers that need to be pulled when fighting Thaurlach. The two 85s knew what they were doing so that also made the run a lot easier.
It makes me a little sad that this was so easy. According to my friends who ran me this used to be a big deal and people would gather for the turn in of this quest. I know content is constantly getting out-leveled but I still think it's sad when a 12 man raid can be completed by 4 people. Oh well now I'm one step closer to getting my Dunedain war-steed.

So I'm a pretty terrible blogger...

Narmaleth and I, one of my favorite story lines in LOTRO thus far
April was the last update. Oh wow. I did play a lot this summer. Tig is now level 77 (almost 78). I've completed the Epic Quest Volume 1, finished World Renowned meta deed this week, started on getting my Dunland and Theodred's Riders reps up. I haven't done Mirkwood yet, mostly because the thought of grinding for two mounts after just getting my Galahadrim steed this week (I've had max rep with them for months) sets my teeth on edge. I've started to work on my Savior of Eriador meta deed, which I think I might create a little guide about. I'll get to work screen capping the herd as well. Maybe do a page. Who knows. It could also be months before I post anything else. That's also likely. It seems like a lot of LOTRO blogs are going that way. Danania posts maybe once or twice a month if we're lucky (I miss her posts the most I think), CSTM is now CSTMM with barely any LOTRO content and sadly LOTRO players doesn't really replace that, the Khazad Gaurd is gone. Almost all guides are outdated for leveling. Sometimes, as much as I love the game, I get a little sad that it's not bigger like WoW. I don't miss WoW, but I do miss the community that was there. And enough rambling from me, I have some steeds to catch ;)
