  • FFXIV: Moogle Treasure Trove: The Second Hunt For Genesis Is Underway! - Event Guide & Rewards

    Posted: May 21, 2024

    With the arrival of new events, there's now a powerful incentive to dive back into the Final Fantasy XIV and get some exclusive rewards that would otherwise be hard to come by. Moogle Treasure Trove: The Second Hunt for Genesis is available now, kicking off on Tuesday, May 14, and running until Monday, June 24. If you're looking for events before the release of Dawntrail, this one is perfect for you.

    How To Start This Event?

    To begin this limited-time event, players must first locate one of the various Itinerant Moogle NPCs scattered throughout the world. There are 3 different locations where these NPCs can be found, and I have listed all of them:

    • Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks
    • New Gridania
    • Ul’dah - Steps of Nald

    Once you visit one of these locations, you will be able to obtain the Mogpendium, which is required for this event. Additionally, you can exchange the Irregular Tomestone of Genesis you collect for various prizes with these NPCs.

    How To Get Irregular Tomestone Of Genesis?

    The core of the FFXIV Moogle Treasure Trove Event 2024 is to collect the Irregular Tomestone of Genesis, a new currency introduced to this event. These Tomestones can be exchanged for new mounts, minions, and other rewards. To earn these Tomestones, players need to complete four different types of objectives:

    • Standard Objectives: Basic duties such as dungeons, GATEs in the Gold Saucer, and ocean fishing.
    • Weekly Objectives: Timed missions are available once per week, offering a substantial number of Tomestones.
    • Minimog Challenges: Weekly challenges that provide a significant amount of Tomestones.
    • Ultimog Challenges: These are one-time challenges per player for the entire event, but they yield the most Tomestones.

    Each submenu contains a list of tasks, duties, and activities that you can participate in daily or weekly to earn Tomestones. Each duty and event contains information on how many Irregular Tomestones of Genesis you can obtain for its completion, so make sure to check each thing individually, depending on what you like to do.

    This is a very welcome change compared to the previous ways of obtaining Tomestones, as you can do so without going out of your way. You can choose between them, and there's no need to endlessly repeat certain dungeons or duties if that’s not something you're interested in.

    Standard objectives can be completed repeatedly, whereas weekly objectives, as the name suggests, can be done once a week. Minimog challenges also happen weekly, but are slightly different. Ultimog challenges are unique in that they can only be completed once per event, but they offer a substantial amount of Tomestones.

    Event Rewards

    There are plenty of new rewards introduced with the Moogle Treasure Trove system this time around.

    Emerald Carbuncle Earring

    One of the most exciting rewards is the Emerald Carbuncle Earring, the most expensive item available, costing 100 Irregular Tomestone of Genesis. Despite its small size, this earring is a Moogle Treasure Trove exclusive, making this event the only opportunity for players to obtain it.

    Mounts

    Mounts serve as personal transportation in FFXIV, coming in various sizes and appearances. They are typically rewarded for completing special quests, defeating powerful bosses, or engaging in specific grinding activities.

    While some mounts can only be obtained by completing challenges, others are tradeable and can be sold on the market board to players willing to spend FFXIV Gil. The mount rewards available from the Second Hunt for Genesis are the Ufiti, Auspicious Kamuy, Direwolf, Rose Lanner, Gabriel Alpha, Gullfaxi.

    Minions

    Minions are miniature creatures that accompany players in open world areas, often act as in-game enemies. Similar to mounts, minions are typically obtained by fulfilling unique requirements, such as completing significant quests, receiving them as rare drops from bosses or dungeons, or purchasing them with specialized currency.

    Some minions can be traded between players and sold on the market board, while others must be earned directly by the players themselves. The minions available from the Second Hunt for Genesis include: Behemoth Heir, Domakin and Petit Pteranodon.

    Other Rewards

    While mounts and minions are among the most popular collectible items in FFXIV, the Moogle Treasure Trove offers much more. Players can obtain Orchestrion Rolls featuring music from the game, Triple Triad cards showcasing characters from the Final Fantasy franchise and beyond, fashion accessories that allow players to adorn themselves with unique embellishments in open world areas, and more.

  • Elden Ring: Rank The 10 Most Challenging Bosses Before Jumping Into Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC

    Posted: May 20, 2024

    The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring looms on the horizon, promising a wealth of new unforgettable boss battles that will surely challenge even the most seasoned players. Now is the perfect moment to reflect and revisit some of its most challenging boss encounters by ranking them in terms of the top 10 most difficult Elden Ring bosses prior to the DLC.

    10. Fire Giant

    Ranked at number 10, the Fire Giant narrowly surpasses Astel, Natural Born of the Void. Its inclusion on the list is justified by several factors. Found among the later bosses in Elden Ring, the Fire Giant poses a considerable challenge primarily because of its ability to deliver devastating blows capable of incapacitating players with inadequate Vigor levels.

    Furthermore, the unique aspect of this boss fight involves Riding Torrent, limiting players' maneuverability and agility. Patience becomes a key virtue, particularly during the final phase, where precise timing and strategic positioning are paramount to avoid succumbing to the giant's crushing attacks.

    9. Godfrey

    Ranked at number 9 is Godfrey, First Elden Lord, emerges as a personal favorite boss battle in Elden Ring. This 2-phase encounter presents distinct challenges in each stage. Initially, players must contend with Godfrey's sweeping axe strikes and ground-shaking stomps, requiring precise evasion techniques such as jumping instead of rolling.

    Upon sustaining sufficient damage, Godfrey transforms into the Hoarah Loux, introducing a new set of formidable attacks. Hoarah Loux' s deceptive tactics, including baiting players into premature dodges, add a layer of complexity to the battle.

    Mastery of both bosses' move sets is essential for success, making this fight demanding and intense. Fortunately, players do not face both adversaries simultaneously, providing a slight reprieve in the midst of the grueling confrontation.

    8. Godskin Duo

    Ranked at number 8, is the Godskin Duo presents a formidable challenge in Elden Ring. Comprising the Godskin Noble and the Godskin Apostle, the Godskin Duo poses a significant threat, particularly when faced together with the same boss encounter. While individually manageable, their combined strength creates a nightmarish scenario, exacerbated by the necessity to defeat them multiple times within the battle.

    Players may find relief by utilizing powerful Spirit Ashes or summons to divert aggro, yet maintaining the summon's survival proves challenging throughout the prolonged fight. Eventually, players may find themselves confronting both bosses simultaneously. Fortunately, the arena layout offers strategic advantages, allowing players to utilize pillars for cover against the devastating black fireballs unleashed by the bosses.

    7. Radagon Of The Golden Order

    Surprisingly, the penultimate boss fight, Radagon of the Golden Order, secures the seventh position. Bearing striking similarities to final boss encounters like Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, Radagon presents formidable difficulty akin to these renowned battles.

    Unlike many bosses, Radagon's fight lacks gimmicks or unconventional mechanics - it's a straightforward showdown. Players must either adeptly evade and counter all his attacks or rely on a robust build to overpower him relentlessly. Of course, this will become easier if you have a sufficient amount of Elden Ring Runes.

    6. Starscourge Radahn

    Ranked at number 6 is Starscourge Radahn. Should you enter this battle under-leveled, every strike from Radahn threatens to swiftly incapacitate you. Throughout the skirmish, summoning assistance becomes imperative. Radahn's sweeping attacks cover vast areas, demanding constant vigilance to evade.

    While drawing his attention away is beneficial, navigating the battlefield grows increasingly perilous as Radahn nears defeat. His summoning of colossal rocks presents a daunting challenge, requiring adept maneuvering or swift elimination to emerge victorious.

    5. Mohg

    The next one is Mohg, the Lord of Blood. This optional boss lurks within the Mohgwyn Palace and serves as the gateway to accessing the Shadow of the Eldtree DLC. Mohg's curse is the primary challenge of this encounter. Once he ensnares you with 3 rings, he initiates a chant that inflicts severe bleed damage thrice in rapid succession, while also replenishing his own health. Additionally, Mohg unleashes devastating attacks with considerable range and potency throughout the fight.

    4. Dragonlord Placidusax

    Located in the perilous region of Crumbling Farum Azula, 2 formidable bosses await the brave in Elden Ring's late-game challenges. The optional boss, Dragonlord Placidusax, stands as a daunting adversary. While players may have faced dragons before, none compare to the sheer might of this 2-headed Lord of all dragons.

    Even attempts to divert his attention with a spirit summon prove futile, as he can swiftly pivot one head to unleash devastating attacks on him. Despite his colossal size, Dragonlord Placidusax exhibits surprising agility, taking to the skies to execute lightning-fast Dive Bombs and teleporting maneuvers, catching players off guard with electrifying claw strikes.

    3. Elden Beast

    Ranking at number 3 is the Elden Beast. While not universally beloved among players, the Elden Beast's formidable strength secures its spot in the top 3. Its devastating attacks pack a punch, amplified by the added challenge of having to defeat Radahn again upon death to face the Elden Beast once more. The daunting task of closing the distance to engage in combat adds another layer of difficulty to this formidable encounter.

    2. Maliketh

    Ranking at number 2 is Maliketh, the Black Blade, a boss renowned for its formidable prowess. Maliketh's combat style is relentless, characterized by agile movements across the arena, relentless onslaughts of attacks, and unpredictable windows for counterattacks. With Swift projectiles that demand constant vigilance, even from a distance, players must remain on high alert throughout the battle.

    However, the arena itself offers strategic advantages, with pillars providing cover against projectiles and opportunities to maneuver. Successfully navigating Maliketh's relentless assault requires precise timing and careful observation, as any misstep is swiftly met with severe repercussions. Thus, Maliketh rightfully earns its place as the penultimate challenge at number 2.

    1. Melenia

    Claiming the title of the hardest boss is Melenia, Blade of Miquella, undefeated and reigning at number one. Melenia's formidable move set alone presents a daunting challenge, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to heal a significant amount of health with each successful strike.

    This mechanic elevates the difficulty of the fight, requiring players not only to deal damage but also to flawlessly evade her attacks. Mastery of Parrying or the aid of a skilled summon becomes crucial strategies for overcoming her relentless assault.

  • Fallout 76: Do You know All About These Special Power Armors?

    Posted: May 20, 2024

    I hope you’re having a fantastic day today. I’m going to be talking about those special Power Armor now. What I said only represents my personal thoughts.

    Purchasing more Fallout 76 Bottle Caps in the game can double your armor power.

    Let’s get into it here.

    Before we start talking about Power Armors, I just want to say that the best effect on Power Armor is definitely Overeaters. You cannot get Unyielding on Power Armor and Overeaters is definitely the way to go if you want to be more tanky.

    The Reason Why I Chose X-01

    Aristocrats and Bolstering, even Vanguards aren’t too bad. But Overeaters is the clear winner. Now for T-45, T-51,T-60 and Raider Power Armor. These are pretty much like the low tier Power Armors. T-60 is like a beefed up T-45. Raider is probably the worst one if I had to pick. The T-51 is actually horrible for radiation. It’s good for ballistic but horrible for radiation. And T-45 is probably best for beginners considering the level you can get it at.

    Now a good decent Power Armor is X-01 I think.

    This is one of the better ones that you can get at the beginning. Especially if you can get this Power Armor for free and I think it looks pretty snazzy. I’ve always liked X-01 myself. You can get a free set of the plans for it from Whitespring Bunker.

    How Can Players Use X-01?

    Now you will have to be a general in order to have access to this. I do highly recommend you do this if you haven’t and from the service entrance.

    And you, like I said, you won’t be able to go into here until you’ve become a General. It’s really not that hard. It just might take you a little. There is a guide on it and once you’re able to come up here click on the schematic and then Prototype Power Armor schematics. And then it’ll basically give you the plans for the X-01 and then you can build one at your leisure. Just want to say the X-01 is best for Energy Resistance.

    But if you have Electric Absorption on, like you really don’t have to worry about energy damage. I should say it’ll pretty much just keep your fusion core is full is what I was going to say.

    The Use Of Excavator

    Another great beginner Power Armor is Excavator, now you can get this one at a fairly early level. I wouldn’t suggest doing the quest until you’re level 25. Because you can’t craft it. But you’re just going to come over here to Garrahan Mining Headquarters, like I said at level 25preferably.

    And then you can just come up to this sign and it will start the quest for Excavator for you. And the good thing about Excavator is that the 3 plus Mining Yield when left and right arms are used in tandem. So if you have the left and the right arm on, I don’t think you need a full set. Maybe you do actually just make sure you have the full set of Excavator on. If you are going to go collect some Lead ore is probably the best example for ammo.

    It does work with every other ore except Ultracite. You will get a lot more collecting it with Excavator. Excluding Ultracite,the ore.

    Disadvantages Of Ultrasite Power Armor

    Ultrasite Power Armor, which is a kind of the opposite to X-01, where it’s more for ballistic Resistance. But this just isn’t the best Power Armor in my opinion. Will it get the job done? It definitely will, but you’re going to need Ultracite to craft it. You’re going to need Ultracite to repair it and you’re going to need Ultracitefor the mods.

    And I just want to say there are better Power Armors. I would go with X-01 or Excavator as a beginner until you can get some of the later Power Armors that I’m about to talk about.

    Hellcat Power Armor Advantages

    Including Hellcat, awesome Power Armor depending how you look at it. This could be one of the best Power Armors in the game. Compiled with Electric Absorption because the ballistic Resistance on this thing is awesome. It minus 2% damage from Ballistic weapons. Now keep in mind, this adds up over five pieces or six pieces, actually.

    To give you 12% damage reduction from Ballistic weapons, so regular ballistic weapons are really not going to do too much to you. You’re going to have so much time to stimpak and that’s even if a bunch of super mutants are shooting at you. And like I said, combined with Electric Absorption, you got the best of both worlds.

    Now to get Hellcat, you will have to do a quest at Fort Atlas with the Brotherhood.You will get a Hellcat at the end of it.

    The Usage Of Strangler Power Armor

    Strangler Power Armor. And the thing about Strangler heart is just a little to craft it like it’s going to cost you some bullion like T-65 does, but you also are going to need Vault scrap steel. I think it is as well to craft it and this Power Armor just isn’t as good as it used to be after Nerf. It’s still pretty good. It still gets the job done, and it’s definitely one of the better looking Power Armors for sure.

    I wouldn’t be putting on any skins over this or anything when I’m making it. It just looks great and you don’t see a lot of people with it. So if you did want to make this Power Armor. It’s definitely a decent one, but there are better ones.

    Now my pick for the two best Power Armors is probably T-65 and the Union even Hellcat. But T-65 and Union are just amazing Power Armors. T-65 is has the highest damage Resistances, and it’s just literally a tank.

    It’s very easy to get. Just need to save up some bullion. It’s very similar to Secret Service as and you just get it with bullion and you follow the main quest to unlock it. And it’s just a tank like this Behemoth could do nothing to me. He actually stopped hitting me after a while, probably realized he couldn’t do anything to me.

    I’ve used T-65 for a while, absolutely. Love it and like I said, you just do the main quest involving Crater and Foundation. It’ll eventually bring you over here to talk to Regs and you will be able to buy the plan with Gold bullion.

    Union Power Armor

    Now, Union Power Armor. This is definitely one of the best Power Armors in the game. I use this one and T-65 it’s just pretty much what I have on me at the time. But the good thing about the Union Power Armor is it has a Poison Resistance and a plus 75 carry weight. That’s what makes it so good as those two unique benefits to having a full set are just amazing. Now, you can usually get Union Power Armor at Whitespring Refuge by using stand to purchase it from Jessup here.

    But unfortunately it is not available to get which I’m sorry to tell you. We need to wait till the upcoming update in June. I think we will be able to get it so hopefully. I wish you could. It really needs to be fixed. Now if you’ve already purchased the plans for um Union Power Armor and you can’t craft it for some reason.

    You see how it says Toggle on lockable at the button. Toggle unlockable and then you should be able to craft Union Power Armor and again just to show like it’s mostly used for people. I would say that are worried about Poison Resistance probably for lower Health Power Armor builds, but it definitely helps against Poison Resistance.

    So if you wanted to use T-65, that might be the best answer for you. That’s my opinion on all Power Armors everybody.

    I hope it helps you maybe pick a Power Armor that you want to use.

  • Path Of Exile 3.24: The 3 Minion-Centric Builds You Can Not Miss

    Posted: May 20, 2024

    Hi, fellow gamers! Welcome to a fresh build guide for the Path of Exile 3.24 Necropolis League. This time, I'll walk you through 3 minion-centric builds that come highly recommended. If you're keen on trying out any of these builds, you'll find all the necessary information in this guide.

    Mage Skeletons Guardian

    Let's start with this classic minion build which is the Mage Skeletons Guardian with the Templar class. Remember how transforming regular skeletons into Mages required the Unique jewel Dead Reckoning? Thanks to the new transfigure gems, this is no longer the case.

    Now, with the Summon Skeletons of Mages, you can naturally summon Mage Skeletons without needing any Unique items, and at a much lower cost. This makes Mage Skeletons an even better minion build option than before.

    Pros & Cons

    Here are some pros of this build, starting with survivability. With the Guardian Ascendancy, you get nearly a 75% chance to block both attacks and spells, significant life regeneration, and the new Summon Sentinel of Radiance that absorbs 20% of the damage you take.

    This build is particularly safe to play because it's a minion build. You can stay behind your minions and kill enemies from a distance. Additionally, the Summon Elemental Relic provides 3 damage auras for you and your minions at no extra cost, significantly boosting your boss damage.

    The cons is that Mage Skeletons can't move, which means that you need to keep re-summoning them while clearing maps. And this version lacks the 30% boost to all elemental resistances for you and your minions. As a result, your zombies and specters might die from Elemental damage if you don't prioritize minion resistance on your rare gear.

    Budget

    As for budget, this build is more affordable than ever. You can start destroying early endgame maps with around 50 Chaos. For advanced Yellow Maps, it's recommended to invest about 120 Chaos. To easily complete the Atlas, around 4 Divines Orbs is suggested, but it's definitely possible to succeed with less investment.

    Performance Ratings

    For clear speed, I'll give it an 8 out of 10. This build have numerous skeletons launching projectiles at a rapid casting speed. I deducted 2 points because the mage skeletons don't move, requiring constant resummoning. Additionally, the Guardian does not get the Flesh Offering speed boost like the Necromancer.

    The boss damage is also amazing, deserving 9 out of 10. With the new Returning Projectiles Support, 100% of projectiles will hit enemies twice. However, since it's not as powerful as the nerfed Anomalous Faster Projectiles Support, I took 1 point out for this.

    When it comes to survivability, I rate it a perfect 10 out of 10. This build has a robust array of defensive layers, including high armor, a 75% chance to block attacks and spells, and a minion that absorbs 20% of the damage for you. Plus, being a minion build, you are far from danger most of the time.

    Archer Skeletons Guardian

    Now, let's take the previous build to another level with the Archer Skeletons Guardian. By now, you're probably familiar with the popular Mage Skeletons build. Thanks to the new transfigure gems, we can now utilize Archer Skeletons as well.

    Pros & Cons

    Let's look at the pros of this build. Unlike the Mage Skeletons build, it has a much smoother clear speed and can deal even more damage to bosses. It's also easy to assemble, requiring only 1 mandatory Unique item that is quite affordable. As a Guardian, you benefit from 3 damage auras for free and have a minion that absorbs 20% of the damage you would otherwise take.

    Now, let's address the cons. While this build is still very tanky and safe, it's not as tanky as the Mage Skeletons version because of having less block chance. However, if you are mindful of your positioning, it will still be difficult for enemies to kill you.

    Budget

    In terms of budget, this build is inexpensive. You can effectively clear earlygame maps with an investment of only around 80 Chaos. For smoother progression into Yellow Maps, I suggest allocating approximately 150 Chaos. To facilitate easier completion of the Atlas, consider investing around 4 Divines.

    However, it's entirely feasible to achieve success with less investment. The only mandatory Unique item required for this build is the Lioneye's Vision armour. This piece already provides the Pierce Support and enables us to add another support gem for our skeletons.

    Performance Ratings

    In terms of clear speed, this build deserves a rating of 9 out of 10. The abundance of Archer Skeletons rapidly firing arrows at a high attack speed significantly contributes to its effectiveness. Unlike the Mage skeletons version utilizing the Spell Echo Support, we can effortlessly summon 4 skeletons simultaneously in various locations, thereby enhancing their range of destruction.

    The boss damage output is equally impressive, with a rating of 9 out of 10. This build excels at decimating formidable bosses within a matter of seconds, even with the recent buffs.

    Regarding survivability, I would also assign a rating of 9 out of 10. The playstyle ensures that you remain distant from the fray while your minions handle the combat with over 990,000 effective HP. The only deduction in rating is because of the absence of a staff, resulting in slightly reduced block chance and effective HP compared to the Mage Skeletons version.

    Poison Raging Spirits Guardian

    Then, we have a remarkably potent endgame build: the Poison Raging Spirits Guardian. This build capitalizes on the ability to summon many Raging Spirits, enabling us to accumulate a staggering amount of poison on our adversaries. By opting for the Guardian subclass, although sacrificing a slight portion of damage output, we gain nearly triple the survivability.

    Pros & Cons

    When considering the pros of this build, its boss damage stands out prominently. Upon completion, we're capable of swiftly dispatching even the most formidable bosses in just seconds. The build boasts exceptional survivability, benefiting from all the defensive layers inherent to a Guardian on a minion-focused setup.

    Speaking of cons, it's essential to acknowledge that this build may not be suitable for everyone. It demands a substantial amount of currency to assemble. Additionally, there's the challenge posed by the short duration of Raging Spirits, necessitating frequent interruptions to resummon them.

    Budget

    In terms of budget, this build requires a significant investment, typically necessitating at least 10 Divine Orbs. It's considered relatively expensive to assemble because of the need for 4 mandatory Unique items.

    The first essential item is the United in Dream sword, which bestows the Envy Aura, inflicting substantial chaos damage to our minions. Additionally, it grants them a 60% chance to poison enemies upon hits. Another crucial piece is the Darkness Enthroned belt, featuring 2 Abyssal sockets necessary to achieve a 100% chance to poison on our minions.

    In addition, it has become imperative to obtain Covenant body armour, which provides Level 29 additional chaos damage support for our Raging Spirits, greatly increasing their chaos damage output. The Ancient Skull serves as another indispensable item, granting a substantial increase in damage and attack speed to our minions.

    Performance Ratings

    In terms of clear speed, I'd rate this build at 9 out of 10. While it boasts numerous fast minions capable of obliterating enemies within seconds, their short duration necessitates frequent re-summoning, hence the deduction of 1 point.

    For boss damage, it unquestionably merits a perfect score of 10 out of 10. With the potential to exceed 30 million DPS, this build effortlessly dispatches any boss encountered in the game.

    Regarding survivability, it also earns a perfect 10 out of 10 rating. As a minion-focused build, you naturally remain distant from danger, but this particular build incorporates numerous defensive layers from the Guardian Ascendancy, resulting in an effective HP of 250,000.

    That's all for today! What are your thoughts on these minion builds in Path of Exile 3.24? Wishing you a fantastic day ahead, and remember to keep building!

  • Elder Scrolls Online: The New Gold Road Furnishing Plans Will Be Found In These Two Best Locations!

    Posted: May 20, 2024

    Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road Chapter is coming to PC and consoles, and with it comes lucrative gold farming opportunities from farming new Furnishing Plans!

    Furnishing Plans farming in ESO has the potential to provide players with rare and expensive Furnishing Plans that can then be sold for large amounts of ESO Gold, and this is especially true whenever a new region is introduced to the game. Typically, in a new ESO region, we will have the opportunity to obtain some new ESO Furnishings and Furnishing Plans. This means that players will be willing to spend a lot of gold on the latest stuff, especially this endgame ESO housing mains!

    In this guide, I share some basics of ESO Furnishing Plans farming to get all players up to speed quickly and allow everyone to farm Plans more efficiently, no matter where they choose to farm. Besides this, I also share two of the best locations to farm Furnishing Plans in Gold Road Chapter! Without further ado, let’s get started!

    Furnishing Plans Farming Tips

    There are three varieties of Furnishing Plans that can be farmed in Overland, Green, Blue, and Purple. Green is usually the most common plan sold for the least gold, while Purple is the rarest.

    Especially for any of the new Purple Furnishing Plans from the new DLC and Chapter areas, these used to sell for millions of dollars on PCNA. Because of their rarity, they are rarely released with a limited supply, and there is an enormous demand for them any time you are hunting for containers.

    Whether you are hunting legally or as a criminal scum doing illegal looting, you have a chance to receive Furnishing Plans that correspond to the base outfit styles that you are unique to.

    So if I were to farm plans in DLC areas Bearer’s Rest and Fargrave, by looting the containers there, I might receive a nice Fargrave Furnishing Plan because that is the area I am in. Alternatively, we can get Furnishing Plans that are available in the base game like Argonian or something.

    Once you have looted all the containers in an instance, it will become a ladder and you cannot loot them again. So unless good Furnishing Plans are available, what farmers like to do is reset an instance so that the container can be re-equipped and farming can continue.

    Every player has a different preferred strategy for resetting an instance. But some common ones include previewing or looking at the house in Crown Store and then walking straight out the door, back to your last location, then walking out the nearest door in the instance and back.

    However, you have to be aware of the fact that resetting the container is not always necessary in instances, such as Bearer’s Rest. Also, in other cases, it will give you loading screens when you walk in or out, and the items in the container will be refilled at that time.

    If you want to increase your chances of dropping Furnishing Plans, then you absolutely need to make sure you wear Homemaker Champion Point at any time you are farming plans. This will give you a 10% chance of finding a second Furnishing Plan when you loot any of them in Overland.

    Finally, if you have Azandar al-Cybiades Companion from Necrom Chapter. It is not a bad idea to summon him and have him accompany you to farm plans.

    If you have unlocked Azandar’s Inquisitiveness perk, you will have the opportunity to discover Research Portfolios that can contain crafting recipes, such as Furnishing Plans, Treasure Maps, and Survey Reports. This way, whenever you search for containers, you will be doing a lot while farming plans.

    Farming Locations

    So where should you go to farm the new Furnishing Plans that come with Gold Road Chapter? Here are some possible locations.

    Rustwall Estate

    Rustwall Estate is just a short walk southeast of Skingrad. In Estate you will find Legion Barracks, which has about 20 containers to search, and in Estate you will find Legionary, which has about 20 containers that can be searched without getting stolen.

    What works well here is to go through the door and then walk around the perimeter of the room in a clockwise direction while looting all the searchable containers.

    I prefer to do a preview and go into Crown Store after I have looted all the containers. Then leave as soon as I get there, resetting the instance and refilling all the containers. Unfortunately, the containers won’t refill if you walk straight out of this place and come back.

    Outcast Inn

    If you don’t get the loading screens, there are also a couple of searchable containers in Outcast Inn, located northwest of Skingrad, right next to the door that will give you loading screens, which is very convenient.

    There are a few ways to get into Outcast Inn. But the room with a bunch of containers you’re looking for is on the first floor, right next to the stairs leading to Cellar of the Outcast. Here, I was able to quickly loot a bunch of Wardrobes in a small enclosed area, put them in my backpack, then dash out the door and walk back out to do it all over again.

    This reset method was definitely faster for me since I didn’t have to open Crown Store or wait for my teleport animation to finish, but there are fewer containers here than in the first location.

    Outro

    In conclusion, both of these locations are great for starting to farm Furnishing Plans on Gold Road.

    Farming Plans is undeniably pretty RNG-reliant. So, unlike farming for materials or doing daily Crafting Writs, they reward you with a more reliable and steady source of valuable goods that can be exchanged for gold. But you may not always get something valuable when you search for Furnishing Plans in containers.

    So remember, the benefit of this gold farming strategy is that your mind can go off for a while you farm. So it’s something you can do while doing other things, like watching a video or waiting for your dungeon queue to pop up.

    Of course, if you get really lucky and get a Purple Furnishing Plan, it can sell for a pretty penny, especially if you get it early in Gold Road.

    That’s it for this guide. If you saw it before Gold Road went live, you’re totally ready to get started. Good luck, good Furnishing Plan farming, and may you be blessed by RNG gods!

  • Elden Ring: Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree Gameplay Trailer Just Dropped, Have You Noticed These Details?

    Posted: May 20, 2024

    Elden Ring DLC will be released on June 21st, 2024, which is less than a month away. Hard to believe I know it really is almost here, but what that means for us as fans is that the marketing cycle is now beginning. 

    Up to this point, we’ve had seen trailers and interviews from Miyazaki revealing information about DLC promotional tweets by the official account sharing little bits of lore alongside new images and a community contest.

    In the time we now have left leading up to Elden Ring DLC release. 

    We have reason to believe another trailer is on the way likely some more gameplay as well, and part of the reason for that is that some people are getting to play the DLC early. 

    They will recharge a lot of Elden Ring Runes in the game to ensure that they can defeat the boss easily.

    And that is confirmed. We’re going to break down what we know about that and what that means for the rest of us. 

    But we have just seen a new image of a new boss for DLC. And of course we have to discuss what this is because these DLC designs are looking crazy. 

    Now let’s get into it. 

    New DLC Boss

    Let’s start off today by talking about this new boss that has just been revealed in an Elden Ring post . The official account posted fearsome foes of unfathomable power await you in the realm of Shadow. With an image of what can only be described as a crazy-looking enemy design. And there’s so much going on here.

    First of all, this enemy is extremely hunched over. We see two big Chalk Rums in their hands, a crazy amount of Omen Horns on their head, long white hair which we’ll get into and this very ornate Goldmask that appears to be broken on one side. And if you look closely at the top, it seems like they’re crawling out of some sort of Shadow. So there’s a lot to break down here.

    First of all this is the second time we’ve seen these sorts of Chums. So based on the fact that we are getting a new weapon type that are throwables. I think it’s safe to say that these are going to be new weapon type for the player that we can wield as well. 

    Now, based on the appearance of the boss itself, at least I’m assuming this is a boss. We can see on the head there are a lot of Omen Horns which is also something we’ve seen fairly commonly in DLC trailer.

    Now the presence of Omen's horns can mean a lot of things. It can be because of Curse and the spread of the Omen horns from America’s unwanted children, such as Mohg and Morgott, stemming from the powers of The Crucible and the mixing of all these aspects of life.

    And The Crucible does seem to be the primary theme we’re seeing consistently throughout all DLC material. So, if there was any doubt, that’s going to be a major part of it. 

    Here’s even more evidence and another sign that points to that is the fact that this creature has white hair which is also indicative of ancient things such as those emerging from Crucible or very old cultures in Elden Ring. We see white hair on Mohg and Morgott and Omens. We see it on the dragons. We see it on the prehistoric Zamor Knights and Godfrey himself. 

    All of which have ties to one of those aspects, and the black shadow that we see this creature emerging from is also a product of Omens. We see this in Fell Twins fight and Mohg. Omen emerge this way. So definitely more connections there and about that Goldmask on his face.

    I think that’s very similar to what the ancient cultures used to do, such as Zamor Knights and the houses of Hoslow and Morray, which are from outside the Lands Between. But the most striking part of this image to me is actually the posture in which he’s standing. It’s almost exactly like what we see Godwyn do after he’s killed by Black Knives.

    Now, even though I think we are going to see lots of stuff associated with Godwyn. In DLC, I wouldn’t go so far as to say this is him. Godwyn doesn’t really have any association with anything with Omen or Crucible. 

    For that matter, and he wears a blue robe instead of the orange one we see here. And we see lots of aquatic features on him after his transformation. So I think if they were to depict his boss fight. It would be more along the lines of some kind of sea monster or giant Basilisks. This has me so excited. I love this kind of stuff and the design here is just so cool. I can’t wait to fight this guy .

    Early DLC Play Session

    So with Elden Ring DLC drawing near. BANDAI NAMCO is upping their marketing efforts, resulting in kind of perfect storm for this DLC. 

    But part of the question was is that since Shadow Of The Erdtree is just a DLC and not a full game. Are they going to be treating it the same way? A lot of us were hoping everything was going to be kept quiet about this until release. That way, we could all jump in blind.

    And while I think this was supposed to be, for the most part, kept quiet. But I do know quite a bit about how these events work and here’s what I think we can expect. They’re probably going to be in a limited section of it. My guess would be the first open field, take on a little Dungeon or two like the Caves or Catacombs and then fight likely one main boss. If I had to put money on it, my personal guess would probably be the lion dance.

    Given that we’ve already seen a lot of this fight in the trailer, Miyazaki has given us a bit of lore behind it and it wouldn’t really be much of a spoiler. Now I highly doubt that they’ll be able to fight Messmer himself. Even though he is a kind of the focus of the trailer, I’m sure he’s got a second phase.

    Now all of that is just pure speculation on my part and an educated guess based on what they’ve done in the past. Now will we get to see that game play. That’s an educated guess, but when it comes to pre-release stuff like this, where they’re in an open environment if somebody veers off the intended path. 

    Possible New Trailer

    The official will release a new trailer next. It’s possible we could get something like a story trailer or a cinematic trailer, which I really hope we do, but given the timing of this event. I think some curated gameplay is much more likely now a counter argument that somebody’s likely to make is based on the contest they’re running with all the fan-made videos. Could that be the reason why they’re updating Elden Ring playlist?

    So based on that, it’s probably something official that’s on the way. Now this isn’t 100% confirmation that we’re getting another trailer for the DLC or even more gameplay but these playlist updates were a Telltale sign of DLC trailer being on the way. 

    So you’re free to make your own conclusions. Now my question to you is, do you even want to see more of DLC? Personally, I think we’ve seen enough already. I just want to go in blind.

    Those are some thoughts on the new Elden Ring DLC. I’m looking forward to its final release.

  • LOTRO: Why Is This MMORPG Still Worth Playing In 2024? - My Personal Opinion

    Posted: May 18, 2024

    Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the iconic world of Middle Earth, based on the fantasy novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. Developed by Turbine and published by Standing Stone Games, the game was released in 2007 and has since evolved with numerous updates and expansions.

    Today, I'll delve into a few aspects of Lord of the Rings Online and share my thoughts on why it's still worthy of our attention in 2024.

    Content For Low-Level Players

    The first thing I find fascinating about LOTRO is its willingness to develop and release new content aimed at low or mid-level players, rather than focusing solely on endgame content like raids or PVP. This approach is somewhat foreign to other MMOs like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14, where such content is often overlooked.

    For instance, LOTRO's Update 33 introduced the Yondershire, a new region for characters around Level 20 to 23. This zone, reminiscent of the Shire, offered new quests, reputation rewards, and cosmetics. Similarly, the mini-expansion Before the Shadow revamped the new player starting experience with zones like Swanfleet, offering story-based content rather than just high-level challenges.

    I appreciate how Standing Stone Games normalizes the addition of lower and mid-level content, understanding the diversity of their player base. While other MMOs may focus on endgame activities, LOTRO prioritizes the journey over the destination. Its vibrant world and rich storytelling immerse players in the Middle Earth, catering to those seeking more than just loot and optimization.

    In LOTRO, you can still pursue high-level challenges, but the game's slower and more laid-back pace offers a refreshing alternative to the fast-paced gameplay of other MMOs. This unique approach makes LOTRO a canvas for experiencing Middle Earth's story and atmosphere, appealing to a different kind of player and enriching the MMO landscape.

    Great Zone Design 

    In traditional MMOs, I've noticed a tendency for zones to feel somewhat limited in scale and scope, which can detract from the overall immersion. For instance, in the WoW Classic Cataclysm zones like Mount Hyjal or Kun-Lai Summit in Pandaria, while enjoyable, sometimes lack that grand sense of scale they aim for.

    On the other hand, in the Lord of the Rings Online, zones like the Dimrill Dale or Eregion convey a remarkable sense of vastness and grandeur. Even though the graphics may not be cutting-edge, the world feels expansive, with mountains towering in the distance and valleys stretching out before you.

    This attention to scale and immersion is one of the distinguishing features of LOTRO. Unlike some modern MMOs where fast travel and flying mounts shrink the world, LOTRO preserves that sense of vastness.

    Stay True To Tolkien's Lore

    LOTRO has always strived to stay true to Tolkien's lore, even when introducing new elements like the Rune-keeper class or expanding lesser-known areas like Swanfleet. This commitment to authenticity and respect for the source material sets LOTRO apart. While some may focus on flashy graphics or fast-paced combat, LOTRO's appeal lies in its ability to transport players to Tolkien's world and let them explore and learn at their own pace.

    LOTRO's appeal lies not in cutting-edge graphics or fast-paced combat but in its role as a gateway to Tolkien's world. Players have invested years immersing themselves in Middle Earth, learning about its lore, and feeling their time respected. LOTRO offers a unique experience that cannot be replicated by mere graphical updates or flashy advertising.

    Landscape Difficulty

    Moreover, LOTRO has introduced innovative features like the Landscape Difficulty, which allows players to adjust the challenge level of the Open World and solo or Duo Missions.

    This feature, although recent, demonstrates the game's willingness to evolve and cater to players' preferences. It's a good idea to have plenty of LOTRO Gold on hand.

    Final Thought

    In conclusion, while the future of LOTRO may be uncertain, its legacy as a faithful adaptation of Tolkien's world remains strong. Players value the game not just for its gameplay mechanics but for its role in preserving and honoring the rich lore of Middle Earth. As LOTRO continues to evolve, it remains a beloved staple in the MMO genre, offering a unique and immersive experience for fans of Tolkien's works.

  • Fallout 76: A Legendary Weapon That Low-Health Builds Must Not Miss! - Railway Rifle

    Posted: May 18, 2024

    Here I want to talk about Railway Rifle, which is one of the best weapons in the game if it is set up properly.

    Railway Rifle is a home-made steel stake launcher that is loved by many Fallout 76 players. It has high single-shot damage values ​​in both semi-auto or full-auto shooting modes, is incredibly ammo efficient, and is very easy to make.

    This is undoubtedly one of the best weapons in Fallout 76, especially for VATS Commando builds. If you want to buy a Railway Rifle for yourself, here are some places to find it.

    How To Find Railway Rifle?

    Imagine taking a solid block of steel and shooting it at someone’s head. That’s what Railway Rifle is all about. It uses the power of a steam engine to fire solid steel bolts at whatever you want to destroy.

    It makes a cool gurgling sound when you reload. You can find plans to make them starting at level 30 in the southern and eastern parts of the map. But you can also buy plans directly from vendors, including Free States and Shopping Mall Vendors at Whitespring Resort. Additionally, Grahm, a super mutant merchant, and vendors in Watoga, as well as Berkeley Springs Station, also sell these plans.

    Why It’s Good?

    By default, Rifle does 95 base damage per shot. That’s more than Hunting Rifle’s 70 base damage. It also has a very high recoil, so at first glance, it looks like a classic sniper that hits hard but shoots slowly.

    But if you look closely, you’ll see that it only costs 20 Action Points to shoot in VATS, which is less than VATS cost of most snipers. Adding Automatic Piston mod also halves Action Point cost and increases the rate of fire to 75, which is comparable to Handmade Rifle.

    One of the great things about the game is that weapons that hit hard tend to shoot slowly and require a lot of Action Points in VATS. You should use them as precision weapons. On the other hand, fast-firing weapons deal fewer damage per shot, and Machine Guns require a lot of AP in VATS. So you should rely on the rate of fire to take out enemies.

    But Railway Rifle breaks all stereotypes. It does a lot of damage, but it also fires very quickly and is also cheap in VATS. The only downside is the ridiculously high recoil. This makes the automatic Railway Rifle unique.

    How To Use It Properly?

    Railway Rifle almost looks like it was designed specifically for VATS. And that’s exactly how you should use it, because VATS can counteract the recoil.

    It doesn’t have a lot of mods. As I mentioned before, Automatic Piston Receiver increases the rate of fire and reduces the cost in VATS. Outside of VATS, the extra rate of fire will be useless because of the recoil, but when you add the mod, it also reduces AP cost. So it’s a simple choice to go with Automatic Piston.

    Long Barrel gives you more range and accuracy, but at the cost of more recoil. But as we mentioned before, VATS counteracts recoil, so you’ll want Long Barrel as well.

    Also, Longer Scope will make you more accurate, which is very handy, but opting for Reflex Sight will reduce AP cost to 7 per shot. If you have plenty of Perception, then Reflex Sight might be the better choice. Players with low health and a full Unyielding set will be particularly suited to using it.

    Extra Perception will let you hit more in VATS, extra AP means you can shoot more, and extra Luck means more crits.

    But unlike most Rifles, it doesn’t have Armor Penetrating Magazines, so make sure to use Tank Killer to give yourself some ways around armor, and use Critical Savvy perk card to get as many crits as possible.

    There’s no weight saving perks under Perception so you should also be free to use Commando perks for more damage.

    If you don’t have Speed ​​Demon mutation, Ground and Pound should help you reload faster. But if you have mutations, you can replace it with other perks, since reloading is only a little faster and the hip fire accuracy bonus isn’t very useful for Railway Rifle.

    Best Legendary Effects

    As always, which Legendary Effect is best comes down to personal preference, but I’ll give some of my thoughts.

    Since Railway Rifle has a small magazine, with only 10 spikes. This makes Quad effect more useful than other weapon types.

    Anti Armor is also particularly useful, since Rifle doesn’t have an Anti Armor magazine, halving an enemy’s armor makes a noticeable difference. Combine it with Tank Killer and you can reduce armor by nearly 70%, compared to 36% with just Tank Killer.

    Against bosses, you still need Quad effect for a more sustained shot, but Anti Armor does significantly more damage per shot, so it works better in normal play. But both are great as endgame gear.

    For the second star, Explosive effects are always good for marking, but the 25% faster fire rate against bosses will actually give you more damage, especially if you land more critical hits at low health.

    VATS Enhanced is the obvious choice for the last star. Reducing VATS action cost by 25% doesn’t seem like much, but this discount is based on the base AP cost, so the action point cost per shot is fixed at -5.

    With Automatic Piston and Reflex Sight, it costs 7 AP per shot, which is still low, but with the reduced VATS cost, it only costs 2 AP per shot, which is ridiculous.

    It pairs well with any other combination of Legendary Effects, but pairs particularly well with Quad. Therefore, the ideal combination is Quad, Faster Fire, and VATS Enhanced.

    I got 492 AP with my low health character, which is more than enough to throw multiple magazines at a boss without running out of AP.

    Outro

    All in all, Railway Rifle is a very specialized weapon. For anyone using VATS, especially with a low health build, this is one of the best weapons you can get. It hits hard, shoots fast, and has a very low VATS cost. Once you use an excellent weapon, you’ll understand why it has remained popular with players for so many years. Give it a try!

  • Fallout 76: Unlock Exciting Rewards By Obtaining These Special Items

    Posted: May 18, 2024

    Greeting fellow gamers! Here is a new guide of Fallout 76. Today, I have prepared several important items that can be vendor for amazing rewards. If you are interested in this content, just follow my step and take a closer look!

    US Government Supply Requisition

    First thing we're going to talk about is the US Government Supply Requisition. You can find it under your holotapes menu in your Pip-Boy kit or in your stash. You usually obtain these off of enemies that you've killed in Fallout 76, usually the Ghouls. With this holotape, you can take it to any Relay Tower.

    When you arrive at the Relay Tower, kill the enemies and jump onto the terminal that's inside. You're going to want to hit 'load holotape', selecting the US Government Supply Requisition, and then request an emergency air drop. Now, once you've done that, load up your map. You may also have to put the side quest for and get the supply drop.

    Then, we're going to go to the Bolton Greens. Once you spawn in, you're going to go over to where it shows you on the compass, and within that area, you'll find an air drop. You might have to wait like 30 seconds for it to drop, but eventually it will drop. If you don't see it, look for the orange smoke. Once you get over to it, you might have to use a Bobby Pin if you don't have Master Infiltrator on, but you'll get some good stuff from there.

    Pleasant Valley Claim Tickets

    Next one we're going to talk about is the Pleasant Valley Claim Tickets. You're going to want to spawn in at the Pleasant Valley Ski Resort. Once you're here, you're going to make your way over to the front entrance that's close to Top of the World. Right here, you're going to want to go upstairs and then down 2 flights of stairs.

    Now, once you're down here, there is a quest in order to be able to get through this doorway. It is called the Key to the Past, and you'll just have to complete that in order to gain access to this room. Once you're in here, you're going to want to talk to the bellhop there.

    If you have Pleasant Valley Claim Tickets on you, they're under miscellaneous in your Pip-Boy kit. Even if you have multiple tickets on you, you'll have to give them one by one. You can have them all on your character at a time, but you'll have to keep clicking him until you're done giving him the tickets.

    Technical Data

    Next, let's discuss the Technical Data. You can find these in desks, safes, blue and orange cylindrical filing cabinets, AMS Corporate Headquarters, Sugar Grove, Watoga High School, and the Silo locations. You can usually find them in the Filing Cabinets at West Tek. You might need to complete a quest to access the basement, but you can also check upstairs in the West Tek, where you might find Technical Data.

    Once you've collected the Technical Data, you'll receive the quest called 'Forbidden Knowledge'. Head to Fort Atlas to deliver the data to the Brotherhood of Steel scribe. If you have multiple pieces of Technical Data, it's best to deliver them one at a time.

    If you give them all at once, it reduces your chances of getting rare rewards. I recommend going to a stash box, taking out one piece of Technical Data at a time, and delivering them individually. Although it takes some time, you can repeat this process for each piece of Technical Data you have.

    Claim Tokens

    Next, let's talk about Claim Tokens. If you've participated in the Load Bearing event, where you help robots stay alive while they dig up resources, you've likely gained some Claim Tokens. After completing the event, you also receive 10 additional tokens as part of the rewards, making it worthwhile to participate. During the event, you earn two tokens every few minutes as you keep the robots alive for the 4 to 5-minute duration.

    Now, what do you do with those Claim Tokens? Head to the Terminal. If you have some tokens, you can exchange them for various hauls, such as the Jackpot Haul. From the Claim Tokens you get, you can receive a significant amount of scrap, ammo, and other valuable Fallout 76 Items.

    Mr. Fuzzy Tokens

    Lastly, let's talk about the Mr. Fuzzy Tokens. Head over to the Camden Park. By completing three daily quests involving carnival games, you can earn three Mr. Fuzzy Tokens for each game or quest you complete.

    Chow Line: Participate in the hotdog eating contest. Some hotdogs are moldy, but if you eat 6 hotdogs within a minute, you'll earn 3 Mr. Fuzzy Tokens. It's very easy to do.

    Dross Toss: Toggle this on your daily quests. Talk to Zach to start. Pick up the dross, which equips like a grenade, and try to throw it into the tires. If you miss, just keep throwing until you run out of drosses. Wait a few seconds for the event to complete and receive your tokens.

    Lucky Mucker: Talk to Zeke and grab the coal bucket. Deposit the coal into 4 Wheelbarrows located around the Camden Park. After depositing the coal, return to Zeke for 3 more tokens.

    Once you’ve completed all 3 quests, or if you already have some Mr. Fuzzy Tokens, head to The Company Store and use the terminal. Here, you can see what prizes you can afford with your tokens. The prizes range from minor items to the Mr. Fuzzy costume and the Mr. Fuzzy costume head, which may take a long time to obtain. But if you’re interested, it’s worth picking up.

  • LOTRO: These 5 Top Solo Classes Will Make Your Adventures Both Empowering And Fun!

    Posted: May 18, 2024

    Leveling up, slashing beasts, and pushing the limits of survival in Lord of The Rings Online is something solo players have always enjoyed the most. If you are also looking for advice on adventuring alone in LOTRO and becoming a one-man army, then don’t miss this guide.

    Here, we will talk about which character classes in LOTRO will give you the most freedom and independence while adventuring. These classes not only give you the ability to act alone but also help you stay safe when facing multiple monsters. Let’s jump right in!

    5. Champion

    Champion is your go-to hack-and-slash class. Simple, easy to use, durable, and capable of dealing tremendous damage, it is the perfect choice for your LOTRO solo experience.

    They wear heavy armor and wield two-handed weapons or dual one-handed weapons, which look great when paired with LOTRO’s amazing clothing options.

    As the game progresses, you can also wear ranged weapons and perform certain skills with it, although not auto-attacks.

    So if you want a class that can effortlessly take a ton of damage, deal even more damage, and cut through the flesh of its enemies, Champion is the perfect choice for you.

    The reason why Champion isn’t ranked higher on the list is that they’re a bit too simple for some MMO players who are looking for a lot of ability variety. Champion has a variety of abilities, and you just need to click on them, and Champion can kill the target instantly.

    4. Captain

    Captain is a truly unique class. If you try to compare the class to some classes in some other well-known MMOs, you’ll have a hard time putting it into any established category. Although some people consider Captain to be Warrior-type classes in some other MMOs, as a powerful tank, it’s obviously different from what we think of this class.

    Captain wears heavy armor and wields a melee weapon, either a one-handed weapon and a shield, or a large two-handed weapon. And depending on the specialization you choose, they can perform whatever role you want them to, whether it’s dealing damage, buffing themselves and their allies, weakening enemies, or tanking. This is thanks to their heavy armor and huge healing capabilities.

    Captain is great for co-op, but can also be played as a solo class. One of the major benefits of playing Captain solo is that you get your very own Herald!

    Heralds are companions that follow you around and help you out by buffing/weakening effects and removing all your aggro. With a Herald by your side, you’ll never be alone.

    Besides being unique, fun, and adaptable, Captains are also very efficient, and there are many reasons to choose this class. But keep in mind that Captains can be a bit slow in XP gaining, despite their ability to take on multiple opponents, which is why they’re ranked fourth. But if you have enough LOTRO Gold, buy some XP buffs, this won’t be a problem at all.

    3. Warden

    Warden is a hybrid class introduced in 2008 in Mines of Moria expansion.

    Essentially, they’re tanks. They’re unique in that they wear medium armor, but what they lack in weaponry they make up for with the unique Warden’s Shields, which gives them an extra defensive advantage.

    However, their hybrid nature doesn’t stop there. They combine their spears with Warden’s Shields and attack from range by throwing Javelins.

    However, their abilities make it all work perfectly together. They have high single-target damage, high threat, amazing combat durability, and their damage mechanics can change from melee to ranged depending on your specialization.

    What does this do to Warden’s single-player capabilities? In short, you can choose to be a tank in more dangerous conditions, mix between ranged and melee. Being a tank will never affect your DPS ability, and you will have so many options to mow down enemies.

    2. Guardian

    Guardian is an unquestionable tank king. Whether it is extremely high health, heavy armor, heavy shields, or the ability to specifically attract all aggro, all of these make your Guardian a beast without any weaknesses.

    However, besides their tanking specialization, they have a trick up their sleeve. They can also act as DPS and wear a two-handed weapon. In this case, they become very efficient mob removers. You will be surprised how fun and efficient it is to use Guardian as a primary damage dealer.

    Besides that, Guardian’s combat mechanics have a well-designed flow, and besides giving you a solid single-player experience, they are versatile in combat and look great with all that armor/shield bulk.

    1. Hunter

    No doubt, the top of the list is definitely Hunter. This class is a masterpiece of single-player games, and this is completely the consensus of the vast majority of players.

    Hunter wields a bow, which is their basic source of damage. But they are also equipped with two one-handed weapons for melee situations. They wear medium armor, deal extremely high single-target damage, and are particularly suitable for single-player games.

    First of all, they run faster when walking, which is very useful when you need to find quest items or explore the terrain without a mount.

    Besides this, Hunter also has fast-travel abilities that allow you to travel to various places in the world. And as the level increases, the number of places you can go to at once will also increase.

    Don’t underestimate it. This ability of Hunter will speed up your leveling process at a speed you can’t imagine. Especially for non-VIP players, because these players don’t have many fast travel options.

    More importantly, Hunter has a variety of gameplay, which stimulates the player’s imagination to a certain extent. If you want, you can even change stances, use ranged skills to slow down, stun and cripple monsters, and then approach them and kill them with dual weapons. You can also set traps, track animals or artifacts, travel light, and travel quickly. The specific gameplay is entirely up to you.

    The above are the 5 preferred classes for single players when adventuring on Middle-Earth. Choosing a suitable class will definitely make your exploration journey smoother. I wish you good luck!
