Day 12:

I loaded in after the hardware change and wow, even on low settings the graphics are as nice as they were on medium for me. Odd, but beautiful!

I decided to build up my skirmish pet, so I haven't been doing much but that. Until today!

I travelled to the south east of Mirkwood into Ashendales. Solo'ed myself through Book 2.9.13 (killed ghosts and Angmarian looking folk). Ported back to town and on the hand in I opened up a new Skirmish.

This one was interesting, you have flashing catapults and when you click on them they fire a catapult into a pre-targeted area. There are catapults on the east, west and central (optional fight can occur in the back catapults also).

You'll get a notification to fire a catapult, run over and when you see the mob of orcs running through the target fire the catapult. They'll take serious damage and they'll be easy to pick off afterwards.

I died before figuring all that out, but i retreated and my NPC lived so I didn't fail the instance, and then I figured it out so I came out succesful. The Troll boss hits me for like 300-600 morale so i would slow him down and kite him into the catapult shots if you can't abosrb that much damage.

I got 200 marks for that quest, and that opened another skirmish so I'll be doing the next one when I get home. I'm saving up for my pets ultimate skill (1260 marks or so).

Day something 

So I gained access to a 6man for Dol Goldur and it was easy peezy with the group that took me. Luckily I was given the task of point and shoot on all bosses. Sometimes being a hunter is awesome.

So I walked away with about 9 dol goldur barter peices. I believe it is like 10 - 25 for the set peices so I'll have at least one of them soon hehe.

Skirmishes I still have 1 left unopen but I've just been doing daily runs to get my pet stronger and I'll try higher tiers after he is maxed.

I'm stuck on 2.9.16 (solo). I haven't gone back yet, maybe this weekend though!

Day xx?:

So I bought my first +25 peice (helm). It cost 25 Gol Dur barter peices. Trsut me, farm SH easy mode. All 3 bosses were easy with two hunters and an LM who was more for CC on adds than anything else (just attacked during boss fight).

So now I need 35 Gol Dur barter peices and I've got all my +25.

I also scored the boots from DN, so my radiance is at 100. Still 5 more to go, but I got to replace a hunter who lost internet connection so hopefully I can score some peices before he is back. Jkhaine is a master at raids.

I've been doing skirmishes and unlocked them all now, but still my warrior needs some work. I got bored of doing them daily, so I'll pick 2 or 3 to do when I get home from work. Hopefully I can clean up TierII soon and get more skirmish marks.

After book 9 is a deed for eplilogue. Most are easy, still missing 3 people to talk to. No idea where they are found but I think they are in the DG fortress (not the instance, the area).

Btw, anyone know where the memory garden in lothorien is? I still haven't found that place :S

Day ??

Let me tell ya, THIS WAS AN AWESOME NIGHT!!!!1!!!!eleven!!!!

I got a symbol to create a 2nd age lvl65 which is apprently woth a lot. My bow is only lvl28 but thus far I don't find it great. I got a 1st age sword (legacies sucked), an earing [Bregloch], 2 rings [Toringor] and [Ril-Mir], my +25 rad shoulders, +20 boots.

2 deeds completed.

Just pure awesomeness imo
