LOTRO Hunter Tips

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar allows players to live, explore and interact within the amazing fantasy world of all time, Middle-earth. You can now finally fight those minions of Sauron, and advance heroes by adventuring through Middle-earth. You may adventure solo or forge their own fellowships online with others, establish unique reputations, fight epic battles to defend Middle-earth, and immerse yourself in the greatest adventure of our time.

Experience Classic Tolkien: Explore legendary locations like the Prancing Pony and Rivendell, battle deadly enemies, and meet famous characters like Gandalf and the Fellowship.
Defeat the Shadow of Angmar: Join with the Fellowship and fight against the forces of Sauron. Confront the Nazgûl Witch-King's forces in the North. Protect the Shire and root out evil on Weathertop.
Explore Ancient Lands: Journey through Middle-earth to collect valuable Tolkien lore, knowledge, and artifacts that bring your hero greater powers. Complete ambitious quests of courage and exploration that bestow compelling character traits.
Create a unique character: With four races, seven classes and an extensive trait system, players can custom tailor their character to build a new persona entity in the game world. Whether Man, Elf, Dwarf or Hobbit, region-appropriate palettes are available to customize the appearance as well. Venture out and begin your adventure as a Champion, Guardian, Hunter, Captain, Minstrel, Loremaster, or even a Burglar.
As your character advances and grows, customize it using Traits – interchangeable abilities which modify your character's skills to give you greater control over its specializations. Gain new Trait slots by leveling, and unlock new Traits by completing Accomplishments. Common, Race, Class, and Legendary traits can be combined to create a genuinely unique character.
Fight alone or with other players: Whether choosing to travel alone or with friends, there is plenty of adventure awaiting you! Follow the storyline on your own or form a fellowship with other players for epic battles against creatures like Orcs and Wights. Coordinated fellowships can use group combo moves to do incredible damage, heal their fellowship, or restore their energy – how they harness the power of a combo is entirely up to them to decide! Consensual PvP will also be a feature, allowing players to practice with each other, as well as, combat each other for glory and honor!
Create items both legendary and mundane: Craft arms to support the fight against Dark Lord Sauron! Engage in farming or cooking to provide for soldiers and villagers! Dedication to a path leads to mastery and the ability to create items of unsurpassed quality.
Dramatic sequences: LOTRO offers an expansive, open world, and incorporates cinematic technology to present the player with movie-like sequences which further the storyline. Experience epic challenges like the depths of the Great Barrow, the siege of Fornost and the battle to retake Weathertop.
Interact with others: Meet and socialize with thousands of other players and fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's works. Relax at the Prancing Pony in Bree, the Green Dragon Inn in the Shire, or any of the many other social centers throughout the land. Express yourself through emotes and chat – wave hello, bow, or dance with a friend!
Journey through Middle-earth: Experience an epic storyline through hundreds of quests created as a companion to The Lord of the Rings. Adventure in familiar areas as well as new ones, created for the game, which were only briefly touched on by J.R.R. Tolkien in his master works. Experience Middle-earth as never before as you swim the Brandywine River or make your way through the mists of the Old Forest. Turbine, working closely with Tolkien Enterprises, has created what Gamedaily calls "...a must have title for fans of Tolkien lore."
