Brandie's LotRO Links

One day I started doing things I wanted, but couldn't find, by myself. Maybe you'll find them useful, too!

Links to here and other places

Databases

• 'Der Widerstand' database (German)
  Has about everything, I especially recommend the great quest guides. They rely on pictures mostly, so they should be helpful even if you don't speak German. You'd have to find out the names of the quests though, of course.
• The LotRo-Lorebook
  Database of items and heaps of information, accessible ingame through the system menu or the small blue button on the top right of your minimap.
• lotro-wiki.com
  The Wiki needs your help!

top

Armour and Weapons

• Die Betrachter des Lichtes
  Item-Database specialized on set pieces (German) and some extra features
• http://chordian.net/lotro/barterers.php
  Barterers in Moria, Lothlórien, Mirkwood and Enedwaith. See the looks with Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click.

top

Mobs

• lotro-rares.com
  Fizen's tables of crafting components and mobs with shards and rare trophies.
• Shard Wiki (formerly Splitter-Kompendium von Aryon Amarth)
  A very well-arranged searchable database of shard mobs (German)
• www.hdro-mobs.de/
  A database of LotRo enemies, their lairs, resistances and other useful information.

Playing hints and guides

• Beginners' HowTo by Minoras (German)
• http://lotro.mmorsel.com
  Lots of advice, especially for beginners (German).
• HDRO-Guides.de (Reiter von Rohan)
  Instance and class guides - the latter are somewhat outdated but will be updated soon, hopefully (German).

top

Conjunctions

• Conjunction table
  by myself - a short explanation and table, with a printable variant.
• Conjunction Junction
  Beleg's fellowship maneuvers thread, still the best one there is in my opinion. If there's nothing new, it's because conjunctions haven't changed for a while.
• A Basic Combat Primer for Fellowships
  Beautiful guide by Surlek with discussion.

top

Classes

• HDRO-Guides.de (Reiter von Rohan)
  Instance and class guides - the latter are somewhat outdated but will be updated soon, hopefully (German).
• Warden Gambits
  A lovely site for the warden. Especially a warden who, like me, has a tendency to pause playing for a while and forget their gambits. Has a circular gambit map and a gambit trainer!

top

Dungeons

• HDRO-Guides.de (Reiter von Rohan)
  Instance and class guides - the latter are somewhat outdated but will be updated soon, hopefully (German).

top

Crafting

• lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Crafting
  Crafting in the LotRO Wiki. This one looks quite complete already.
• lotro-links.de/handwerk.html
  My crafting corner - only the cook has been completed so far.

Maps! I love good maps.

• http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Special:Interactivemap
  Dynamic Googlemap with search and filtering functions. Parchment and area look can be placed on top of each other.
  Rather small, as the map is embedded in my.lotro.com.
• lotromaps.onlinewelten.com
  Dynamic googlemap, area view. The great advantage of this map is that it is also big!
• arda-online.com
  Like the one before, but with an additional optional Tolkienish design - really, really beautiful!
• Dynamic single maps (ruslotro.com)
  Quickly loading single maps with search filter, parchment look.
• Modififed single maps (thebrasse.com)
  Single ingame maps, made by an ingenious untiring dwarf, some of which are far more clarifying than the original ingame maps. No search function, but some paths are provided - very helpful for some quests. Long live the Brasse, aye!
• The Goblin Village
  Exzellent maps by Philmanyat. Never get lost again in the deeps - return a shining victor with Bilbo's buttons in your pocket!
• The Goblin Village by The Brasse
  The dwarf has made another superb map. Everything at a glance. You can even see how paths run above and below each other. Anyone who ever got lost in those filthy depths will appreciate this masterpiece.
