Thread: Back after months and need lots of help - Would be greatly apperciated!

Hello everyone, I'm back to middle earth as it has been calling for me, I took a break for Star wars:TOR but it got stale fast and I've always missed lotro.

However I have no idea what's happening with RKs now, gear wise mostly.

I'm currently level 75 ungeared, and I could use some help with that portion and maybe a couple others, mainly;

Where should I go to gear up for raids and instances so I can be a viable team member
What raids and instances give me BiS (best in slot) gear as an RK?
What traits should I be using?
Is Great River still the place to get your jewellery?

Other than those, I've also decided to start using plug-ins as I have not before, but am a little confused about them. Any help would be appreciated as even on lotrointerface I'm a bit lost.

Thanks in advance everybody!

/e I know I am asking a lot therefore if you can only provide a little info out of all I have asked that would be appreciated as well! Thanks!

If you were here when GR was released, then nothing has changed. And "how i get gear" is the same for all classes and has been asked a million times.

Armor: start with 4/6 Draig (Galtrev) set, bartered for with medallions which are best earned in Foundry T2C or Roots of Fangorn instances. The last two pieces of the set are got via tokens dropped from Draigoch 12-man raid. Isengard instance (purple) sets at the Ox-Clan camp in northeast Nan Curunir are also viable, especially to fill the aforementioned last two slots.
Necklace: Ox-Clan teal necklace, got by earning Orthanc Sigil Fragments from Isengard 3-12 man instances and bartering up (find the teal one you want and work backwards or you'll waste them)
Earring/Ring/Bracelet: Great River, Skirm raid, Draig drops
Armor round II: Clear all Orthanc wings (tier 1 counts) to be able to barter for (and wear) Orthanc armor with seals. There are three sets, loosely corresponding to the three trait lines. You can go all in or mix and match, it's up to you.

For Gear, u need to do The foundry (isengard instance) to get Medaillons, medallions are warded with alot of instances, but foundry fives most of em, about 500 for every foundry T2 Challenge Mode u do.
With the medallons, go to Galtrev at the adventureres Quartermaster and barter the 4 pieces of galtrev-armour, they are nice the other 2 pieces of galtrev-armour can be bartered with special coins that drop from the draigoch raid.

In the jewellery part, Go to the great river, do quests here untill u get kindred with the riders of stangard, then do all the Limlight Gorge quests so that u cna do the dailies and get kindred with the limlight gorge, do a few time roots of fangorn instance to get some Unhatched Spider eggs to barter for upgraded jewellery, however u first need to barter the normale piece of jewellery before u can upgrade it.
Necklace is better at the 0x-clan camp in Nan Curunir, Foundry drops empowered orthanc-Fragments, u can Deconstruct em at the ancient forge of the numenorians wich is located in th emiddle of the ox-clan camp, those fragments give sigils, Orthanc-sigils, ull see a guy in the left corner if ur standing behund the forge, called the sigil-vendor, there u can upgrade a necklace untill u got the one that u want

Hope this was Helpfull,
If u are in Vilya and need help, PM me on my RK, Kodlu
