So, it’s been the second night of Mirkwood release, and although we had our own personal skirmish called “Battle of the Baby Hobbit Staying Asleep” we were both able to get in and finish the tutorial for the skirmish quests. However, I’ve been seeing some questions pop-up quite a bit and so I thought I would take some time to clarify on them as I can. If anyone has any other questions, answers, suggestions, and hints that they’d like to add, go ahead and add them in the comments! Then I will go ahead and add them to the post, with full credit of course. 
- Are we stuck with the same soldier choice forever?
No, you initially start out with a warrior, but you can purchase additional traits after the tutorial with skirmish points. Once you purchase a trait to change their role, you then slot that trait in place of the Warrior one and voila you have a sage, herbalist, protector, etc. - Can I join a skirmish anywhere?
Per jwbarry: So long as you aren’t in combat, in the ettenmoors, falling, in a housing neighborhood, or one of a couple other limitations, you can join a skirmish from anywhere. Note: You will then be returned to the same place you were at when you joined the skirmish once the skirmish has ended. - Do we ever get more than one soldier to direct?
No, each player only gets one soldier. However, Captains and Lore-masters will still be able to call their pets in addition to their soldier. - I don’t see all the Skirmishes in my Skirmish Join panel!
It’s possible that you have not opened them yet. Skirmishes become available as your character levels. There are currently set to open: Read the rest of this entry »
