Learning LOTRO: Lesson Thirty - Skirmish Camps

 

In this series, I talk about various aspects of The Lord of the Rings Online. This series is meant for newcomers, but may also help veteran players find more to love about the game.

Last week, we took a look at Skirmishes and the basics of how to run one -- by yourself with your soldier, or with others -- and what to expect when you play through one. This week, we continue the topic by looking at Skirmish Camps: what they offer, how to use them, and where to find them in Lord of the Rings Online.

"As darkness creeps across the stricken lands of Middle-earth, none are safe from the peril in the East. Skirmish Camps have appeared throughout the lands as rallying points for those who will stand together to fight the shadow. Stout soldiers gladly lend their weapons, but they lack a leader. What hero will answer the summons?"

This is how players are introduced to an instance type called Skirmishes. In this entry, we'll cover what Skirmishes are, their types, the variety of enemies, the size of the fight, your Skirmish Soldier, rewards, and related Deeds. 

"Hope is not yet lost for the Free Peoples if a warrior of your class stands with us. I hope that one day we shall stand together on the field of battle! The skirmishes await your sword." --Idhrinnion, Skirmish Captain of the North Downs
