Clarysta Gets Down

Clap! Snap! the black crack!
Grip, grab! Pinch, nab!
And down down to Goblin-town
You go, my lad!

Onomatopoeia at its finest, right there. (And yes, I had to look up the spelling)

Ms. TypeA Completionist realized that she was thisclose to finishing Rivendell rep, and the Champ wants to get all the Return to Someplace ports. So down, down to Goblin Town we went. That place is crying out for daily repeatables for reputation, my lad.

The first time I went in there was on my Elf Battlechick, which means it must have been July or August 2008. I know this, because I was with my best LotRO buddy, probably on her hunter, and we had so much fun. We were probably level 48, the boys were level 50 and really had to work. The melee crit jewelry set in there is awesome at level, the quests are fun, and trolls! Who can say no to trolls? I am terribly desirous of that cave troll trophy.

But harder than stone is the flesh and bone
Of a troll that sits in the hills alone.
As well set your boot to the mountain’s root,
For the seat of a troll don’t feel it.

Turbine, add some shard droppers (cuz they’re just lots of fun) and give us a deed like the ones in Sarnur and HI.  Which, by the way, Ms TypeA Completionist needs to get done. Ironically, my Elf Battlechick has more of the Sarnur deeds done than the captain 

My Elf Battlechick has her shing-shing! but I say the Mighty Captain AoE!!! (yes, you have to shout that, can’t just read it) is just as fun. Blasting through below-level content with the Champ, AoE PAR-TAY!!! For once the captain gets invited. Captain and Champ AoE is amazing, so yes, we’re personally responsible for any Arkenstone server lag this afternoon as LotRO struggled to keep up with our damage numbers rolling up the screen.

I’m pleased to announce Lioness in the Buff was finally found! I found a 2nd age buff stick with all 4 buffs - motivating speech, relentless attack, parry and to arms.  Here’s a hint for finding a buff stick: level only those with  motivating speech legacy T4 or above.

/dance2 does the happy cappy dance!
