LOTRO Store Staff Picks: February




As a former raid leader, there's one thing that's a bane to all raids: Time.  Getting all of your traits set takes time, getting everyone together takes time, passing out food takes time, getting your buffs set up takes time... and then it all comes crashing down when you suffer a wipe.

No one likes to wait when you could be off making another attempt at a troublesome boss. Luckily, the LOTRO Store has a few critical items that you can purchase at any time in your adventure to help shorten your downtime and keep you moving forward.

 

Bard Services 1-hour


Ever come to a raid with the wrong traits on? I have. It's really embarassing. Sometimes, you just forget.  It happens to the best of us. However, instead of taking the "Long Walk of Shame" back to the Bard consider grabbing this instead. This way you can continue onwards with the right traits without causing a delay.

Adjust trait selections on the go with Bard services! Access lasts for a period of one hour.

Travel Maps


Getting there is half the fun, right? Wrong. You should be on-time, or early, if you're going to a raid. Don't hold up everyone by being late. That said, if you need to move across the world rapidly, a Travel Map is a great choice.

Instantly travel to the Misty Mountains, Rivendell, Forochel & more!

Remove Dread


No one likes to wipe, but it's a fact of raiding life. Wiping excessively though may slow things down thanks to the addition of dread. Keep one of these tomes on hand and wipe the shadow of anxiety off of your face before it affects everyone else.

Remove Dread from your character after a defeat! Single and 5-stacks available.

Vault Upgrades


While not entirely specific to raiding, you can never say no to more storage.  You always need to put your epic raid loot somewhere!

Store and organize your character's items! Increase your number of vault storage slots by 15 per Vault Upgrade; up to 165 slots available (every character receives a 30-item vault for free). You can even filter and search for items by name!

Repair & Sell Services 1-hour


Finally, I'm electing this item almost exclusively for the repair aspect.  Dying means gear damage and you shouldn't be running around in a raid with broken equipment.  Of course, you should have fully repaired before even beginning the raid, but this item is certainly great if you've suffered a few wipes, or want to get some trash out of your inventory.

Make space in your inventory by selling unwanted items or repair damaged gear from anywhere in Middle-earth! Access lasts for a period of one hour.
