Skirmish Event

February 7th brings a new event: ‘Ill Omens’ to Skirmishes throughout the game! Evil stirs in Minas Morgul, and harbingers of the Dead City spread across Middle-earth! This time-limited event adds additional enemies and rewards to all Skirmishes in Lord of the Rings Online through March 11th...

Tonight we’re trying some new – Crafting hour

What’s the idea?
Kin activity around crafting. For an hour orso team up in an area or 2. Kill mobs (for deeds), gather materials, get some xp etc. Share area, tips or turn the items into ingots and planks on someone elses explorer that need the xp.

Basically have fun with kinnies and do activities that you’d normally not get around to for a bit.

Example
Kill trolls in the misty mountains, someone can gather the wood, someone else ore. Give away the gems or scholar items to someone that can use them.
