This is what I was going to suggest. That way we are not dependent on the OP (original poster) to keep it updated; anyone would be able to add updates. That would also mean less work for the OP, and it would keep the data relevant in the event that something happens to the OP (like leaving LOTRO) that would prevent him/her from updating the OP (original post). That's how the Legendary Item Guide is done. I'd suggest adding the ability to create "wiki" posts in the forums that can be updated by anyone, but the Lorebook fills that role I guess. Anyway, thanks for putting this together. I'm sure it took a bit of time to enter all of the data and I'm sure you've spent a lot of time adding updates.

Working on it:
http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Skirmish_Compendium

Thanks csteelatgburg for moving this into the lorebook. I was going to look into how to do this today!

[Edit: Does anyone know if there is any purpose in continuing to update this list here? It seems easier just to update it on the lorebook.]

Gonna be better to use the Lorebook going in, I'd say. I'm gonna start making the edits for Warrior as I accumulate information.

That said, the OP should be edited (if it hasn't already) to link to the Lorebook. Not everyone's gonna wait till page 3 to find out why the list hasn't been updated in a dog's age.

haha, good point. I edited the OP to link to the lorebook.

I used an herbalist in beta, and after somewhat leveling a bannerguard, I just started an herbalist on live now too because I found myself dying a lot.

In between fights, throw down a campfire. That will help you get up to full morale faster.

Thanks for all the hard work on this.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to post all the different rewards that can be purchased with marks (at least the more important ones, I know this is quite a project).

only Maestro would use the word compendium...good work though btw.

On the European forums there was a post linking pictures of all of the barter items, but it looks like those were the beta costs, and the skirmish mark price has changed since then. Here's the link to check out anyway:

Just trying to improve your vocabulary. Use it three times in a sentence and it will be yours for life

Can anyone post what marks (first, second, campaign, etc.) drop from whom on which encounters? That's the biggest thing I see missing from a 'compendium'. What can be bartered with said marks should also be added. I wonder when the lorebook will be updated?

I went by the first pass of this on my lunch break today, and added the information on the Marks and watch is barterable in the curiosities vendor. Hope this is what you are looking for. I will add more as I have time.

Today SoM information is supposed to be appearing in the Lorebook, so that's something to check out.

For sure. It's one of the first things on my agenda when the lorebook is back up and running.

I'm trying to figure out how to get the ability to run the Barrow (lvl40) skirmish. I have been running the same 2 skimishes now for a while. Would like to try another one now that I hit lvl40 last night. Is there some sort of quest I'm missing that I have to do first???

Anywho... on to why I posted this here in the first place...

Maybe you could list what the player has to do (prerequisite) to be able to run the skirmishes listed by O.P.

And yes, I am a noob.

I think I might have figured it out

Yep TheGodzirra, there are no prerequisites for the early skirmishes other than level prerequisite until you get to the Mirkwood skirmishes, which then require the Volume 2 Book 9 chapters to be completed.

It may be there somewhere, but the new home page design doesn't make it easier to find. Neither does the Search function:

>>>
Search Results for "skirmish"
From LOTRO Lorebook

There is no page titled "skirmish". You can create this page.
<<<

EDIT: The Lorebook release notes mention it, at least: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Release_2009-12-10

I completed the first pass at linking to items in the lorebook update. There are some items that are not yet in the lorebook. I'm going to post over in the lorebook forums and let them know.

Hopefully tonight I can update some more of the categories, and get some more skirmish marks for my neglected soldier!

Updated links so the 'Skirmish Compendium' now appears in the main page of community created guides. Thanks for updates to it Maestro!

Here is my current warrior. Hopefully some of this information will help you.

Here is the actual image of the table from the linked site, maybe the OP can post this as part of his guide.

The figures I used in that table are from Beta, they've changed slightly I noticed so will update the table over the next few days. Also some of the images on my EU posts have exceeded the bandwidth PhotoBucket would allow, something like 60GB over the past few weeks lol.

You can view all the images at PhotoBucket's website:

Also some other stuff I wrote here:

I updated the lorebook with your information Arch_Angel_Gabriel. Thanks for the help!

I will no longer be updating the original post; instead, I will be updating the lorebook.

Hope this helps!

Bannerguard rank 5: 117 armor aura, 1052 max morale, 197 max power
again, hope this helps

Thanks for the updates. I added them to the lorebook.

Excellent work. the only thing the skirmish compendium needs to be all inclusive is a extended list of encounters for each instance and where/how you fire the encounter, not all of them spawn an obvious guy that stands there. For instance, in dannenglor you have to light the two torches at the south entrance to get Ruingalad (...not that you should try to fight that mob...) and light the two torches at the west entrance to get the elite morrovail gore-something, and the "find a horn and use it" encounter I havent been able to do at all, etc. I havent done all the skirmishes myself. Any links to this information would be greatly appreciated!

just dropped 8k SM. I'll post more stats when I get more marks

Thanks Katavi, I updated the lorebook with your info, and made a bunch of other additions yesterday as well.

http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Skirmish_Compendium

I have a little more info not yet in the compendium:

TYPO FOUND - Under Protector - Defender's Strike - Rank 1 - You probably want a + instead of = for the damage.

Protector
Defender's Strike (Damage: High Melee, Single Target) "Bartered Skill: Must Obtain from Skirmish Captain and have a minimum level of 55 to trait"
* Rank 2: +213.9 Damage, lvl34

Taunting Strike (Damage: Low Melee & High Threat, Single)
* Rank 3: More Threat per Rank, +134 Damage, lvl39
* Rank 4: More Threat per Rank, +147.2 Damage, lvl43

Warrior
Carving Strike (Damage: Low Melee & Medium Bleed, Single Target)
* Rank 3: +117.3 Damage, -53.6 Damage over Time, lvl39
* Rank 4: +128.8 Damage, -58.9 Damage over Time, lvl43

Forceful Strike (Damage: High Melee, Single)
* Rank 5: +402.9 Damage, lvl47
* Rank 6: +429.3 Damage, lvl50

Strong Sweep (Damage: Medium Area Melee, AoE)
* Rank 6: +268.3 Damage, lvl50
* Rank 7: +273.3 Damage, lvl52

Hope that helps some. I'll post more to fill in the blanks as I level up my Warrior.

Sweet! Thanks for the updates, and the catch on the typo.

I added them to the lorebook. I have been leveling a Rune-keeper with my son as of late, and been delinquent on my own updates.

If I missed it, I apologize, but is there any place where you posted strats for each LT type? That would be nice to list each and strats to deal with them. (Bosses/Encounters too?)

I did not post strats for the LT's. Guardians of Vilya have put together an excellent resource on LT strats at http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Skirmish_Lieutenants

Hope this helps.

Found another typo in the compendium while looking to see if I had any data to add to your Herbalist section.

Nature's Cure (Healing: Medium over Time, Ally)

• Rank 1: +59.6 Healing, lvl29
• Rank 2: +72.2 Healing, lvl34
• Rank 3: +90.5 Healing, lvl39
• Rank 3: +99.4 Healing, lvl43

I'm pretty sure that last line is supposed to be Rank 4 not 3 and someone just missed it in the copy/paste.

Thanks for the catch on that. Since your post, the layout for Herbalist has changed from text to a table, and the rank was corrected.
