Thread: Dulayne's Minstrel levelling series

Mae govannen to one and all who may be new to the world of LOTRO. As someone who has played lotro since 2008 I have had many pleasurable experiences with the game and still fond of it since day one.

With this in mind there are a lot of you around who may still not be sure as to what class you would like to play. So I decided that it would be cool to show you guys a levelling series I have started.

The series starts directly from the character creation screen and will go all the way to 75, here is the first episode for the series.

Hehe I try to do my best to help when I can if at all possible.

I started watching your series a week or so ago. Atm I'm about half way through the Lone-lands segment.

I'm enjoying seeing gameplay from a different perspective, particularly how it differs from my own style. I still need to catch up to the present of course, but keep up the good work.

Well we finally made it out of the Lone-Lands, did the level 30 class quest and now started to make our way to Evendim!


Episode 1: Making our way to Oatbarton


Episode 2: Supporting the Hobbits of Northcotton Farm


Episode 3: Continuing our support of the Farmers Market


Episode 4: Some troubles in the fields!

Hehe you made this post the moment I submitted the latest episodes to the forum. Well it is always great to get feedback from people like yourself. Keep on enjoying!

Two more episodes are up for you to enjoy.

A new episode is up for Evendim! Hope you all enjoy as I make my way through Southern Emyn Uial.

All I can say is yay!

If anyone has been following this thread, sorry for the long delay I have not maintained this thread enough. I have got more episodes going up almost daily at http://www.youtube.com/user/DulayneM and hope you can check them out.

I have been powering through Forochel and started working on the books. Here are a couple of example videos for people to check out!



Basically there are 11 parts for this and they should follow on to the next episode as you get through them.




I hope the people of Middle Earth (you guys) enjoy!

Remember the infamous gates of Carn Dum Instance? (Volume 1 Book 7 Chapter 8) ? Well here you go!
