Thread: Brood Queens and Daunting Spirit Sappers and other LTs you never see

Just for some background of how much skirmishing I have done:

I have completed 25 of the LT advanced slayer deeds.

Ever since I completed the 14 solo LT advanced slayer deeds, I have NOT solo'd.

If I have solo'd, I've done a duo in order to get different LTs.


YET, I have 2/5 Brood Queen kills and 1/50 Daunting Spirit Sapper kills. I have seen both of these rare LTs in the Barrow Downs skirmish and Stand of Amon Sul skirmish. Either I haven't or don't remember seeing them in any other skirmish.

I did a lvl 39 Stand at Amon Sul skirmish today at the fellowship level. In this one skirmish I met BOTH of these LTs (obviously not getting credit for the kills).

I have two questions.

1) I don't believe that the Brood-Queen is a duo+ LT. I don't think I've ever seen it in less than a fellowship skirmish. When has anyone seen it?

2) Related to the question above, per http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Skirmish_Lieutenants, LTs are separated into skirmish sizes. The Brood Queen is listed as duo and above but I don't believe it. My question is the following: Might LTs also be separated by level? I did a lvl 39 skirmish and met 2 of the rarest LTs in a span of 10 minutes!

I've seen the Brood Queen in Dannenglor 6 man. I've never seen her in a duo or 3 man either, but I haven't run group skirms in dannenglor that much, but I've run barrow downs and amon sul 3 mans a decent number of times and have never seen a Brood Queen in there.

I've also seen daunting spirit sappers in Ford of Bruinen. I have a total of 6 of these on my champ, which seems to be in line with the other group lieutenant deeds.

I have seen the Brood Queen in the Siege of G. skirmish in Duo/Small/Fellow/Raid.

I think Siege of G can be mind-numbing solo, but in groups the sheer variety of the Lts can make some fun skirmishes. I have seen every Lt in that skirmish.

I've seen the Brood Queen in Duo skirmishes before. In fact in Amun Sul, I had 3 brood Queens in a row for LTs. That was on my RK.

I have rarely seen a Brood Queen on my champ, burg, or minstrel. I have noticed that certain toons tend to see more of one type than my other toons. On my champ, I think, I believe I have the advanced deed done for some of the LTs, but do not even have the basic deed done for other LTs.

Thanks for the replies!

It seems that Amon Sul and Siege of Gondamon and Survival - Barrow Downs is where you'll see them.

Personally, these are not ones I usually do in a big group, so maybe that's why I'm missing them.

Perhaps LTs are more prevalent in certain skirmishes...

Got 2 Brood Queens at Barrow Downs today, I never seem to have problems getting sappers but I mostly see them in the three DG instances.
