A good place to kill wargs in Angmar is north east from Aughaire. Pass the tree and follow a little north west near the ruins where the signature warg is. All that area is full of wargs. Some are hidden so if you are not a hunter you can team up with one to save time.

- Stay away from Barz when he says “Ill Gnaw your bones”. He will do an instakill onthe nearest player.

- When Barz says “No power is stronger then Barz” he will get power from a random character. minstrels should NOT heal while he says this or they will get aggro.

There are two quests in Bree (town and bree-land) involving a couple that lost their rings. You can craft and sell Amethyst Rings in the AH for people to complete this quest. One NPC is in the road to the Forsaken Inn, the other one in the crafting hall at Bree Town.

try to keep every reputation item you get even if its not useful at the moment since each item can be used with higher levels (aquiatance, friend, etc).

you can craft more stuff from housing by visiting each vendor in each of the four racial neighborhoods, each vendor offers different recipes for each profession.

Since Book 11 when you are in a fellowship you can see who in the fellowship has the same quests marked with a small green icon. So you can see who else has it or who are the people with common quests.

If you have the best tools and scrolls you can get a 35% chance on getting a critical version of a crafted item. This is FOR EACH attempt. If you have ten items it is not 3 of ten it is a 35/100 chance for each try. Crafting more than one item will only give you the opportunity to use the scroll more, nothing else.

The trick to sirvive here is to chain mezz the goblins. Mezz one, kill, search, kill the other one. Repeat.

To get better chances on a “crit” item you must:

- Have the best tools for your profession. Better tools, better percentage of success
- Buy scrolls for your profession or ask a scholar friend to make some for you. Criticals on this give more %
- Check if the critical option for the item allows certain other item to increase the chance
- if you can wait until you have more recipes, components so you can use the same scroll for different tries.

Some Rift Basics:

- Designate Raid Assists for each group and maybe more for different situations.

- Make sure everyone have at least: 2 or more Tokens of +5 hope. Food, fear and poison salves (Green and Pink ones).

- Make sure everyone have enough time (at least 2 hours).

- Minimum recommendations for classes: 2 Minstrels a Burglar and a LM. DPS can be splitted between champs and hunters. Captains for extra buffs and support.

- Be clear about loot rules. Good rewards there, people gets greedy

Always keep the best gear that fits your required stats.

Blue items are good but there are some quests items (from Angmar specialy) that will give you same or better combinations.

Also, you can keep different jewelry, gear for different moments (raids, MP, Solo Play)

Gear with additional options with cooldown are ok but normally the cooldown makes it worthless.

Work on your traits to develop specific stats.

Find someone to craft new armor, jewelry and weapons. If you find some or in your kin get the right recipes and materials to reduce costs.

The best way to win this race is to try to go straight to the inner right side of each pole directly BUT keeping in mind that the furthest you get from the road the more time penalty you will have.

finish the race ALWAYS since sometimes a player may appear ahead of you but his time is different because of penalties and you can be the first one.

Good place to gather these easily is the northeast part of The Shire, north of Scary. The northern part of Bree and the North Downs can work also.

Use traps all the time. The time you will delay your enemies is time you can use to finish them
