So I posted this question a couple days ago (the poll is still open) but I figured I’d share my plan. I’m expecting to have at least 5000 Turbine points just counting the Loyalty rewards, but I know I will also get more for the various new deeds that are implemented for Reputation as my 3 mains each have a quite a few factions at kindred rank. Initially I plan to focus on Captain, Minstrel, and Warden but am sure that my Champ (more about her later) will get some attention too.
I know that the Wardrobe will be a big help to offload some of my storage issues but currently I’m using the Shared Storage as an extension of a couple characters vaults so I will have to end up getting some more Vault space. I really want to get to a point where I can use shared storage as a replacement for mailing items between toons, but currently it is overflow

Merric & I were not able to make the trek out to Seattle this year for PAX Prime. Fortunately for us we have amazing listeners/readers. Michael contacted us willing to feed us his experiences so we can live vicariously through him! We really appreciated his offer and are super pleased to share some photos Michael sent to us from last night.

Each week we ask you to share your successes in Middle Earth with the rest of the community. Post a comment letting us know what you’ve accomplished this past week. We will pick comments at random to read on the podcast giving you a chance for a little shout out for yourself!
Our shout-outs are only as good as the information we get so remember:
- Don’t forget to add your character name, what server you play on and if you like, add your Kinship if you have one. Hard to give you a Shout-Out if you don’t include it!
- Please keep your posts brief. We won’t be able to read full novels of your adventures. At least make it so we can easily sum it up!
- Do not be afraid to post any of your achievements. We don’t care if you just saved Archet or cleared out Dol Guldur. We want to hear from you!
These shout outs will appear in Episode 53 of A Casual Stroll to Mordor Podcast.
