Dig-site 1For those of you who missed last night’s Treasure-hunt, first I want to assure you that it was a sneak peak! This event was short intentionally and I’m assuming the time selected was probably set just for convenience of Turbine monitoring the sneak preview event.

I do not know what the duration of the full event intends to be but I’m guessing longer. Possibly a weekend event since they’ve been fond of doing these things recently.

A Casual Stroll to Mordor PodcastIn this episode of CStM, we discuss Goldenstars troubles with leveling in Mirkwood solo and then her problems trying to get around in Caras Galadhon. She has finished the superior scholar and now can just make all sorts of potions when she feels like it instead of for skill. Oh and Goldenstar hates space.

Merric feels his Mirkwood experience has went from being on the edge of helping with the war effort to going back to being the exterminator of creatures. Not feeling as epic at the moment. He has also been working hard on his cooking alt to make us hungry hobbits food!

I’ve had some important chats with some people. Cryptic, but it cleared some air and made a few things better.

We killed the Watcher for the first time last night, on 3rd attempt I think. I had a few problems with the first attempt, so that fail was pretty much my fault and solved the next time around by some tweaking. Felt good to get him down. Not as good as Balrog, but we’d probably invested more in the Balrog. But in terms of killing a ‘big bad’ and avenging Bill the Pony, it felt good.

We’re spending more time with the Blind One in DN (I don’t think he’s truly blind), I feel we’re on the verge of cracking it, but just depends how long the other bosses take us to kill and how tired we are by the time we get there. DN doesn’t feel as fun as the Rift and while I could probably justify why in some aspects, I’m not sure about others. Still, we’re progressing and even pre-BO fights are getting smoother and faster.

Amlug has a blog post that I think many have been wanting for quite a while now. It’s all about Turbine’s planned changes for how Radiance gear is bartered. I highly recommend reading the full post at its source and leaving some comments. The entire post is of interest, though, so I have 95% of it below as well:
