It’s been a while since my level 20 post, but Lord of the Rings online is my really casual MMO so things take me an age. It’s the kind of game that allows you to take your time, never feeling rushed to level. The scenery makes you stop and take a screenshot, something I don’t do as often in EQ2.
Yetian is now level 25 and although I planned to post at level 30, I decided 5 level posts would allow me to post more than one every 6 months.
As with most of my character posts there’s a few screenshots along the way to help explain what’s going on, mostly because I can’t remember what I’ve done in any detail so pics help, must be getting old. 
The first pic is of Yetian fishing, yup that’s right I broke off stabbing things with my spear to fish by a lake. It’s actually for a festival quest but did allow me to chat to a few people along the way. Granted I’m alone in the picture, so obviously my conversation wasn’t that interesting.
The 3 pics above are of the foothills around Weathertop which I explored for a good few quests including a part of the main storyline where I have to help out another Ranger who is camped nearby. It was this quest that saw me take part in my first pickup fellowship (group) with a couple of kind souls who aided me in my quest.
Weathertop itself is great to explore and climb, stopping to take in the view as you go. There is a quest which takes you into an instance linked to the aforementioned Ranger which requires you to climb to the top with the Ranger himself and take on the nice looking but not too great smelling (if LOTRO had smelly-vision), Troll.
The final set of screenshots I have for you to ogle today are of the Forsaken Inn, yes that’s right a member of neXus once again ends up in a pub.
A sight for sore eyes after a long… well 5 minute horse ride from Bree. Needless to say I had to take a peak inside and stay for a few Beers, Vannin our guild leader might kick me from the guild if I’d passed a pub and not ventured inside.
The Inn itself is the first quest hub I’ve found in the Lonelands. It contains NPC’s giving quests for the surrounding area including some Goblin ruins I can’t remember the name of to the south. I managed to complete a few quests from the ruins, but forgot to take some screenshots …. oops! I did manage to fall off a wall into a den of nasty looking spiders, though I did manage to fight my way out and make my way back up to the ruins themselves.
That’s it for now, stay tuned for Yetian’s adventures in Middle Earth to level 30!!
