Each location has a number of quests (the big ones) that can be repeated to help friends. After finishing / redoing this quests you will earn a mark of triumph. Having many of this allows you to buy barter items for armor and other items.

Quests cannot be gained for marks again for 5 days though you can still help friends out but without getting a mark

You will need a tanking class and healers in both groups and try to take camps while defending other camps from the attacks.

Players should try to do two things at the same time in order to take and defend camps. If difficult one group should split while the other finishes a defence.

Assign DPS to a group. All the players should go to defend. An announce will be made to tell wich sorceress is preparing the attack which gives information on where the attack will be made. Once the attack is under control (still killing mobs) an announcement will be made telling that the sorceress is weak and open to attacks. Second group should run to her and finish her ASAP or that attack will be repeated. Once group one finishes players should join gorup two to finish sorceress. This will repeat each time for a number of times until the battle is won

All 6 players should go for the attacks. When a second attack is called one of the group goes to take it while the first one finishes the fight. Then first group goes to aid the second group.

Just kill fast

The trick here is to pay attention to the skills since we will engage with 7 mobs more or less during this session play.

The trick that seems to work most efficient is to use the 3000+ damage skill that does not take aggro with any of the mobs then use the Damage Over Time (DoT) on the archers while we fight the melee mobs. Saeradan’s skills do not get interrupted but we need to kill as fast as we can.

The other useful skill is the one that stuns near mobs. This can be used to gain some time, heal and shoot the DoT skills to the archers.

The next useful skills are the two that deal Area of Effect (AoE) damage. While we kill ranged mobs with the DoT we will kill melee mobs with these two skills.

Same applies for the final 2 m ressistance fight with Amarthiel mobs

Simply start attacking from range, let the Gorthorog to get closer and when you are at 75% morale use fear (bards arrow or cry of the valar) to fear it. Let it get some ranged space and repeat. You should take him down in 3+ fear attempts.

Try to do it this way (fearing when loosing 25% of morale) since fear may be resisted so you will have to take some punches :D

Also, for hunters, try this where the mob has no other mobs around that can be aggroed when in fear

After careful analysis of play patterns, the decision was made to change the preview program to only open the servers when new content is available. We will also open them for special events. To support this change we have already begun the process of converting Roheryn to support the new program. Following the launch of Mines of Moria the preview program will resume. Unfortunately we will not be able to carry over preview characters from Book 14 to Moria.

  • Check your game settings, set graphics to low and landscape draw distance to very high. That way the landscape will be rendered and the game will run smooth. If you game doesn’t run smooth you may experience video lag and you may loose een if you see yourself in first place.
  • Check your network connection and make sure everything is ok, latency and lag will ruin your race
  • YOU NEED to pass inside the poles, get as closer as you can to the right pole and pass through it from the inside, just like in the level 35 race. You don’t need to stay in the track all the time nor jump obstacles. Just try to stay as close to the right poles as you can
  • Unless you are disqualified stay in the race even if you are not first. Specially if you are in the first three positions, you never know if the other players are really there or if they will be disqualified for some reason. It seems like there is a timer so if it takes long to pass through the poles people is disqualified

In general Light Armor sets focus on will, fate and other non-DPS stats that help with a more passive (but active skill using) setup. Inthe other hand Medium Armor has more balance torwards agility for a more DPS type build.

    If you like to solo a lot and you are a War Speech addict medium armor may be the choice for you.

    If you prefer to focus on healing, groups and fellowships, be able to keep power and do some massive healings light may be the choice for you

    You can always mix pieces depending on the stats you prefer.
