We're gonna try to do all those bosses in 2 evenings so i hope you are ready for a fight lol

Dont worry if you never done this raid, or maybe never done a raid before! This raid was for a lot of us the first raid we ever did, its a very great experience and we will make sure you will love it lol

What classes do we need:

1 Tank (guard/warden)

2 mezzers (Lore-master/burglar)

What do you need to bring?
1) food!
2)hope tokens

It was a lot of work to even make the stuff for the first bosses, and as we dont do it that often anymore it wouldnt be worth it.

BETA Journals - The LOTRO Store

(Jul 23, 10)

Running a Beta Program can be a tricky thing; everyone who isn�t in the beta wants to know what�s going on, but due to NDA restrictions no one in the program can tell them. So how do you let players talk about what they�re seeing, without violating their NDA? The answer is the LOTRO Beta Journal Project! Each week, we�ll ask Beta participants to submit their personal �Beta Journal� on a given topic. We�ll then take a sampling of those responses and post them for the entire LOTRO Community to read.

This week, we�re giving you the initial reactions players reported upon first using the new LOTRO Store.
