Greetings Reader[s].
Once again I bring you the further adventures of Jonthon, Man-Captain on Landroval. Today I recorded him going through the Thievery & Mischief skirmish. This one is a bit more straightforward for me, and it is easier to locate the encounter mobs. The final fight is a bit tougher than the last skirmish I showed you due to it being against an Elite, but it is doable for me.
Without much further ado, here is the 2 part recording of the skirmish:

Greetings reader[s]!
I bring you yet another 2 videos of my Captain adventuring on Landroval. This time I am showing him running through the Trouble in Tuckborough skirmish. As you can see from the video I have a system of how I take out the enemies and flip the control points.
Out of the 2 encounters I only did one, I don’t remember where the second one spawns [I think it was the bear] and didn’t want to spend a long time looking for it. My skirmish soldier is a Herbalist, which some may say is overkill for a Captain – but I look at it like this: If I don’t run out of health I can focus on defeating the bad guys better 
.
So here you go, a 2 part jaunt into the Shire:

Here are 2 more videos for you. A 2 part set showing a run through the Retake Weathertop [Solo] Instance for 1.2.5 – I was a bit over level for the quest so everything was pretty trivial. The Inspired Greatness buff also sort of made me overpowered when facing the 2 final bosses.
Without further ado:

Being the sneaky Hobbit that I am I figured I would just spring this on you all without warning 
This is a short video I recorded while running through the Iorvinas public dungeon in The Lone Lands on Landroval. Nothing really special going on here.

During my continued adventuring yesterday my main character, Branadoc, finally hit level 50! Yep, after 3.5 years of existence I finally hit the Shadows of Angmar level cap and now there are only 15 more levels keeping me from the current cap!… Yay? I might, feasibly, see the current cap before Rise of Isengard is released but who knows right?
Now don’t take my comments above as showing me to be some sort of person who only aims for “end game”. I just want to have at least one level capped character on my account after 3.5 years you know? Then I can focus on my huge bevy of alts and look into all the different quest zones I haven’t experienced (mainly due to them coming out after I had already out-leveled them on my main).

This is the first character update in quite a while I see, well – the name of the site is “Sneaky Hobbits” right? Can’t be all not-sneaky and provide regular updates now can I?
Ok, so the past few days I have returned Branadoc to Forochel because Eregion was starting to wear on me a little bit (I have a few quests marked as solo that I just can’t seem to finish). Forochel is bloody cold of course, but its main annoyance to me is that every single mob seems to give me wounds constantly. I am running through wound pots too darned fast – maybe it is due to how many Beast mob classes there are.
Read on after the break…

I decided to log onto my Warden Lansirel. She is in her 30s and well into Evendim at this point. I was concerned because I knew logging onto this toon would give me Turbine Points for the new deeds that are auto-completed. Fortunately, I only ended up with 20 total TP. That wasn’t enough to buy anything with.
Lansirel had been left in Nain Enidh after a Garth Agarwen run gone bad. I had to get back to Evendim and quest some more. Getting there became a big problem.

Friday I did some more skirmishing, got some more Spring Leaf tokens and finally, after 3 years of life, got my ‘main’ up to level 45! Only 20 more levels to go… *sigh* well, I will catch up to my kinship eventually eh?
Before I get on with the post, I hope that you lucky suckers (yeah, suckers… *pout*) are having fun up at PAX East.. be sure to visit the Turbine Booth and harangue them for not giving me a free pass/transportation/hotel! Just kidding on the harangue part, but visit our great Turbine folks anyway

So over Monday and Tuesday I managed to do a few Skirmishes – even managing to fail one I have done successfully before :/. Finished off a few deeds with those skirmishes, and moved my way closer to a new level and a new look for my soldier.
The big thing for this week, though, is the Lord of the Rings Online Spring Festival. It started up yesterday and will likely run for about a month or so (no guarantees). Read beyond the break for more.

I was planning on writing this on Friday, but time sort of slipped away . I did jump back into Lord of the Rings Online Friday and managed to get some things accomplished, I finished off an Armor set and quest line and completed some deeds.
Read on for more! (I break the posts up to keep the front page semi-clean and to keep more posts on it).
