Level 18
Nice, didn't think I was gonna make it this soon but then I found the Half-Orcs north of Chetwood and basically ground several bars just killing them.
Above: Brand new Level 18 Troggle at the ruins North of Chetwood.
Did a few Quest's but definately ground more XP by just farming this time.
Above: Chilling on a rock in a stream north of Bree.
I spose running around allot didn't really interest me this time but it does mean I have allot more grey quest's to finish off in my Quest log.
Have to say once again how much I like the graphics in the game, the landscapes are just stunning.
Above: Shot of the stars reflected in a pool northen Chetwood.
So now it looks like I am gonna have to bite the bullet and tidy up all of those "loose end" Quest's for the next level I reckon

Finally Deed: Wight Slayer - Advanced
Wooot!
Took a bit of wight killing but I got there in the end :-)
Heres the Deed and the resulting equipable Trait buff.
Above: Wight Slayer Advanced Deed and Trait
So now I have added the new Deed to my Title and oh the irony (read the shot caption)
Above: Troggle with the new Deed in his title moments after dying in Barrows post hearth and repair, LOL.
So yeah thats some humour, the barrow's still aint the most pleasant place to hang out in and its allot easier if you are in a fellowship that is for sure but considering the loot I have hand farmed today
Above: Hand farmed purple loot from the Barrows today.
Either way it's still a tough place to hang out by yaself as a nuub Level 17 Burglar such as myself.

Level 17
Nice, took me 10 mins to notice I had leveled, lol.
Above: Chilling in the Barrows after realizing I had level'd, LOL.
Was just farming in the Barrows and was getting into the rythm of killing a few wights since I have decided to go for the Wighting - Slayer Advanced Deed and saw a flash a few mobs back but it didnt register, ROFL.
I just realized I hand't posted any combat shot's so here's one! :-)
Above: Me solo'ing a semi bugged out Corintur a Wight Elite that had ran away from the main fellowship and didn't seem to attack me, odd.
Finally I am managing to get into one of Bree's more nasty places and surviving a bit longer, yes the Old Forest is what I am talking about, finally I managed to solo one of the Elite Tree's, hey is was 13 and I was 16 but still they aint no push over with over 1k of morale.
And in doing so I have finally reached some cool looking spots in that area of the map.
Above: A house hidden deep in the Old Forest.
And heres another shot.
Above: Standing by a waterfall below the house mentioned in the previous shot.
I must get round to actually making something with tailoring, I have allot of makes and just cant decide what to do, think I will just do the crafting quests to level up my tailoring.
Above: Can you spot the Sneaking Troggle?
:-)

Level 16
Finally there....
Above: Level 16 finally, some where in a forest in bree.
Taken a we while as I have been farming a bit, discovered that a mount is going to cost 4g 22s so thats a decent amount of in game cash, but I reckon i'll be over 1g soon, ROFL, at least gold in this game means something.
I really cant stress how stunningly beautiful this game is in parts, sometimes its rough but generally when its a special piece of ingame content / event it looks wicked.
Above: Chapter #01 - Epic story line fellowship quest chain.
As you can see I have started grouping a bit more as you get up in level things get tougher, scored a new head piece from a quest which is off purple quality so thats pretty cool really.
Above: New head piece upgrade, looks a bit naff but its an upgrade, no cat walks for this toon! :-P
It's good to finally get to some of the bad guys as well, my first sighting of a Nazgul!
Above: Monster Portrait of a Nazgul in the game.
Wonder what there loot table is like?
Above: Heres me hanging up with one of the bad guys, I am in diguise hence why he isnt trying to kick my teeth in.
Working the AH is interesting so far, it looks like at this point allot of crafting is item particular and ther's allot of room for farming raw crafting mats to sell or process and then sell at a profit hopefully.

Level 15
Level 15 woot.
Seems to be about a level a day which would mean at this point for the average player getting to 50 would be like 3 months I think.
Certainly seem to be getting defeated / having to retreat allot more frequently now, burglers aren't so good once they get a few adds while fighting and things can get tight.
There is definately an art to questing / leveling which I think I am yet to master though and I am just trying to tie up loose ends all the time which results in allot of running around....
Its o.k. as the game is great to look at, even if you are having to hang out in a swamp!
I have also been tweaking the graphics a wee bit just to see what my card can take and I must say that with althings turned up it does look pretty nice and now I have reached a got comprimise of speed and good looks....
Above: Stealthed in the 'Old Forest' just WE'ish of Bree, yes the image should look blurring as I am using bloom blown out of proportion to give the game a nice dreamy feel to it.
So far leveling is taking a while but is fun, its not a good idea to pick up a ton of quests and go to a new place as you just end up filling up your quest log lol :-), I find finishing them off the hard bit and end up having to go back to places often but its all area to farm from A to B at the end of the day.
The AH hasn't been treating me to badly, Everything I post sells and I havent been aiming to high with my prices yet, I have well over 500s now, woooh might even get 1g some time, ROFL,
But yeah I have been wondering just how much AH manipulation you can do and it not be considered a bandable/suspendable offense as some poeple have been postinh stuff for stupidly low prices and I am tempted to buy it all up and repost it.
:-)
Level 14
Woooot!
Dingage!
Took a while as I wanted to finish off a few quests as the quest log was backed up a bit
:-)

Level 13
Ding!!!!
Even got a nice new hat!
Looks a bit naff but it's an upgrade and no one will see it under my cloak anyway!
LOL :-)
UPDATE:
Just scored some an upgrade from the AH.
New Gloves...
Score! 25s.
:-)
Here we are!!!! LOTRO is ALL GO!
Well after reading the EK cross game recruitment thread I just had to check it out
And here I am, Troggle a level 12 Burglar on the ArkenStone server.
For more WoW virtual blog of WoW troggle see http://troggle.blogspot.com.... :-)
After wow this game is just a complete breath of fresh air, no grinds and so far the only thing is walking longish distances but thats good for farming any way.
But yes I needed something less hardcore as WoW is just too much of a job and cant really be done with just anyone like your RL friends and family because of the new higher skill curve to the end game TBC content so its not really a game any more so I am kinda over it
I loved heriocs (But man the time to get my 26 badges, no thanks) tho but with the epic rewards not being so epic any more, /yawn.
Let alone the joke of a class shaman had become and with people including blizzard telling us to reroll, the total derespect and deletion and banning on the shammy forums as a customer I am not impressed but we will see how long the me and customer part of the equation comes to its fruition at this point I think BG / Arena will be the main things that I will stay for at this point as PVP in LOTRO so far hasn't blown me away yet.
I might come back if shaman where buffed and raiding made significantly easier but its never gonna happen so yeah ok I'll re-roll but as always all see you and raise you, I'll Re-Roll on ANOTHER GAME! You #$%#'s! :-P :-).
And what trog post would be incomplete with out some loot shots,
Here is a hand farmed earring I am using
My current duel wield set up.
Here is some shots of me at my youngest that I remember to take a snap,
Just a weeeeee baby NuubsauceCakePie!!!! :-P :-)
It certainly fun being a total scoobly ubly nuublet all over again and as vido stated in kinship chat the game has that "smell of a new car" feel to it.
I must saying the graphics are stunning (tho some of the edges are a little rough here and there but who's really looking?) with a bit of a Oblivion feel to it.
NOTE: the early screen shots I had less gfx options turned on so wont be quite as good as more recent shots.
Level 7 - with a nice rainbow happening there :-)
some houses
Level 11 - chilling by a water fall
level 12 - getting experience in the field! :-P :-)
