Yours Sincerely,

Egis Leverage!

2 people died, due to unlucky Acid attunement during start of 5th phase, so red bubble in pool with hit of middle Saruman made it almost impossible

Well done Polaris and big gz!
Good to see we still have some active raiding kins on Eldar

It has been few months since the first post was updated. The ToO progression currently looks like this:

Cleared all bosses on Tier 2: Challenge mode
(1) The Mellowship
(2) Illuminati
(3) -
(4) -
(5) -
After nr 5 all other kins will be mentioned in alphabetical order
#

Tier 2: Challenge progression
The wings/bosses behind the kins name means they still need to complete those to get on the "T2 Challenge cleared" list above
# Ekseriyet -> Fire&Ice/Saruman
# Polaris -> Fire&Ice/Saruman
# The Council of Light -> Fire&Ice/Saruman
# Critical -> Fire&Ice/Shadow/Saruman
# Risen -> Fire&Ice/Shadow/Saruman
# Rohirrim riders -> Fire&Ice/Shadow/Saruman
# Aurora Borealis -> Fire&Ice/Acid/Shadow/Saruman
# Pata Negra -> Fire&Ice/Acid/Shadow/Saruman
# Last Sons of Gondolin -> Fire&Ice/Acid/Shadow/Saruman
# Solstice -> Fire&Ice/Acid/Shadow/Saruman
# The Last Kings -> Fire&Ice/Acid/Shadow/Saruman
# Yggdrasil ->Fire&Ice/Acid/Shadow/Saruman
# Legends of Middle Earth ->Fire&Ice/Acid/Shadow/Saruman

With 2 days left until Riders of Rohan release, I doubt there will be any changes to the lists. I hope someone proves me wrong and we add another kin name to the full T2 clear.

Well done to Mellows and the Illuminati!

This is a big dip in raid completion for Eldar though, seems nearly every kin had done BG on level and half a dozen OD (with another half a dozen just missing a stage or 2 for OD) http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...er-Progression

Was ToO really that hard or have too many raiders stopped playing? Anyone know if it's been the same on other servers?

Well not nearly every kin, but there were 12-13 kins on Eldar who completed BG HM. But people had like 15 months to manage to down 3 bosses + challenge modes. For OD there was just too few time. 6 bosses + challenge modes and we had just 6 months.

Now for Orthanc we had 10 months to down 5 bosses + challenge modes. But it is noticeable that raid difficulty has been increasing over time and we came to the point where only 4 kins on Eldar completed Orthanc T2. Of course, some kins struggling with number of raiders this year had a part in this, but I think one of the reasons why many people quit was the difficulty of the raid.

Anyway, respect to the people who didn't give up and big gratz to the kins that managed to complete the raid.

And under great pressure, on the last night, Polaris acclaims to be the third on the server to kill Saruman t2c! Screenshots will follow!

Egis Leverage!

Tonight on Tales That Really Matter™:

On the last night of Rise of Isengard Polaris finally managed to beat Saruman on challenge mode

I'll make a longer/better video of it but it will not get uploaded tonight...

Gratz to all with your accomplishments...

Everything has now been updated till this post !!

Gz for Polaris.

But still they haven't completed FFt2c so I suppose they don't have place on this list:

Tower of Orthanc (12-man raid)

Cleared all bosses on Tier 2: Challenge mode
(1) The Mellowship -> Screenshot
(2) Illuminati -> Screenshot
(3) Polaris ->

Still, with some time invested it's just matter of fact FFt2c to be done, but it's unfair to the raiding kins who are not still in the list someone to be added before finishing all challenges. I am sure this is non-intented mistake, but better to be addressed.

Polaris have not completed F'n'F Challenge Mode so this must be a late night error on the list maintainers part. We've never claimed, as far as I know/remember, to have cleared F'n'F Challenge Mode.

This raid cluster has all of us confused with the first lock being the hardest CM to beat.
All this effort paid off last night of the expansion congratulations to the team.

fixed the mistake

I will not be adding any list for 'Riders of Rohan expansion' (no idea if it's volume 3 still or now volume 4).
I've pretty much moved on from LOTRO.

I suggest someone else take up the mantle for the new raid instance (if there is one) and start with a new fresh thread.

I always check back on this forum from time to time and will update this thread (tower of orthanc progress) if people still want to post their progression.

Have fun in Rohan !!
