Day7 pt2
Oh wonders will never cease…actually did get to play some LOTRO this night, just an hour but enough time to basically wrap up preparation for planned TP grind to start over the Weekend.
Day8 pt1
As quickly as possible I logged in and out on all chars for Hobbit presents, Tsudryt did a little bit of buying and selling and weaponsmith guild rep crafting!
Then…the long awaited day had arrived…it was 5Am on 21st December 2013 time to create a NEW TP grinder…
…too exciting…
Gullorodspiseret was created.
1min 10secs used on creation: Human Champ Random..#1 ugly, #2 ugly #3…that is Captain Jean Luc Picard!

5 mins was used setting up UI and options on this new char!
41mins 1 sec and I finally start the instance to end the Archet area.
46 mins finished instance, hurrah am now in the real world…er real game world of LOTRO!
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a mini gift of Valar that jumped you past this (VIP can jump the ultra basic intro quest already!) Fellow blogger, Pasduil, pointed out that there is, its called the Veteran Status. 100Tp single use per CHar..oh..as I grind max 50TP an hour this would be a loss but useful to know! (Read his adventures with a champ and using the Gift of Valar here.)

Day11 pt1
0430AM ok normal Ered Luin guide being followed
13.00 wolf 5tp
25 ally of Ered Luin 10tp
33 gobs in the vineyard adv 10tp
5.15AM: 45 mins, 25TP
Am running this at level 17 but very close to level 18, most of mobs in this part of Ered Luin are now greyed out…which makes picking em all up and smashing them a bit slower… without the extra VIP XP would be slightly lower and maybe would actually be quicker.
Champ comment: my tree is all yellow
almost maxed Blade Damage, and am actually loving Raging Blade. The Sound is great and it simply decimates packs of low mobs…
Maybe I am not generating TP as fast as I would like but I am enjoying this run.
Living on the edge is great in LOTRO…
‘Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it’s wrong
But we can tell ’em no or we could let it go
But I’d would rather be a hanging on
Livin’ on the edge
Livin’ on the edge
Livin’ on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah’
