Hi, i know this will sound stupid but i have to ask:
I am new player and i play solo to just enjoy the experience, the story and content and i dont want to rush or miss anything.
I play as man right now in Bree-Land. I cleared the Blackwold hideout in the prologue questline and Amdir escaped. Those quest are lvl 14 (i am lvl 12 beacuse from time to time i use the turtle stone to stop the quick XP gain).
But i also have for some time now quest called "Into Bree" which is directing me into the town of Bree, and that quest is only LVL 8. I didnt do it yet, because when i got it there were lot of areas and towns before Bree so i didnt want to skip them and also i read online that the prologue should eventualy guide me to Bree naturaly.
But long time has passed, the prologue is already LVL 14 and no sign of Bree yet and i am getting stressed from that LVL 8 Into Bree quest still sitting there. Am i missing something? Should i do the quest? Or ignore it and do prologue quests and the area quests / side quests that are along the path?
Thanks and i know its stupid and i shouldnt care about stuff like this etc, but i do :D

Hi, i wanted to ask those who have more experience and lot more of play time and testing with the formula cars, specificaly the newly changed Formule Edge category.

We would like to use this category for multiplayer league / championship season, but there are three different unique car models with different performance.

Do you guys think the performance differences would create unfair playing field in multiplayer and make the season not fun for everybody? Or are the differences not as big and it would be fine?
I know some models are better for some tracks so it varies and i also know its realistic, but when it comes to multiplayer its best to have same cars and same conditions for everyone so i am not sure.

Thanks for any input and feedback.

Hi, new hunter player here and i am now on LVL 8 and got to Combe to start learning professions.

- I am and want to be solo player, just enjoying the game/story/exploring/crafting.

- I dont really care about some hardcore endgame raids or stuff like that.

- I will also play only with one character (this hunter) because even with one character it will probably be hundreds of hours even in the F2P content and my time is limited so i cannot even imagine trying to play with multiple characters

So what i have read and what seems to make most sense for me would either be FORESTER / TAILER / WOODWORKER or FORESTER / TAILOR / SCHOLAR.

The thing is lot of people say woodworking is useless because you are supposed to get some legendary bow on level 45 and that is the best weapon in the game and you will never get better (which seems sad and bizarre to me that so quickly the weapon progression stops).

And people say scholar is much more useful for hunter for crafting some kind of oils and scrolls and buffs.

With that said - i am sure i would use the bows i would craft at least until the legendary weapon and have fun doing it. But i am not sure if i will ever use any scrolls or oils and such from scholar because i often do this in RPGs and MMOs that i often want to use such support items and then never will. Maybe here its different and they are extrelemy crucial and you will die without them. So i am torn and dont know what to choose.
Is the scholar items really that important for hunter just for normal solo story chill play?

Thanks everyone in advance for answers and opinions.

Hi, new player here (i played many many years ago, but dont remember anything much from that time). I love LOTR and finally decided its time to jump into LOTRO very casualy, playing solo, free content at least for now, enjoying the game, the world, the story and after first few hours (lvl 8 in Archet still) i am loving it.
But the enjoyment is little bit overshadowed by this weird anxiety about how quickly the character is leveling up. I am on lvl 8 and already at the begging it seems i am few levels above everything, the quests i am doing are lvl 5-6 i think.
So i am purposely trying to avoid enemies to avoid getting more XP and not overlevel even more. I've read somewhere you can lock yourself out of some content or quests if you overlevel area. Is it true? I dont want to miss anything and i would ideally like to experience all quests and all that the areas offer.
I have read about Stone of Tortoise to stop getting XP. Even though i dont like this idea that i should control when and where to gain or not gain XP, it seems like the only choice? So i guess i will have to buy lotro points and buy the stone.
Does anyone have any tips about all this? Am i overthinking it?
Thanks for replies.
