Likely no 71+ champions of the Naaru
Yesterday a player on the official WoW forums asked if they'd still be able to attain the title "Champion of the Naaru" once patch 2.3 goes live. Eyonix answered that, yes, the title will be rewarded to any players that complete the necessary quest line, whether or not those quests are finished before or after the patch's release. He did warn that the title will probably not be given to characters that complete the quests after level 70. If you've been waiting for the next expansion to breeze through the requirements and easily pick up your title, you'll likely need to rethink your strategy.If you're unfamiliar with this epic quest line which was once required to enter the Tempest Keep raid instance, it all begins in Shadowmoon Valley. The very first quest is called "The Hand of Gul'dan" and can be picked up in your faction's main town of the zone (Shadowmoon Village for Horde and Wildhammer Stronghold for Alliance). About 25 steps into the chain (I told you it was epic) you'll unlock new quests from A'dal in the center of Shattrath. For many players this is where the challenge truly begins as you must venture into four of the more difficult heroic instances to complete these quests. The final step involves killing Magtheridon in a 25-player raid, after which you'll finally be deemed a "Champion of the Naaru". Good luck!
Do the Deed in Ered Luin
The Deed system makes The Lord of the Rings Online stand out amidst the crowd. While a case can be made that Deeds are just another form of fancy new packaging for the same old tedious and passionless grind, we'll take what little freshness we can get in a genre that presently harbors a Fundamentalist fervor for proven formulas.So, that said, if you dig doing Deeds in LotRO, then you'll appreciate TenTonHammer's Deed guides. A few days ago we plugged their first guide, which listed all the cool stuff you can accomplish in the North Downs, and now we're pointing you to their new one. This time they're covering the Ered Luin zone. Check it out if want to learn how to get a sweet title like "Defender of the Halls."
Kill dirty trolls. Win shiny title. Profit.
I love the Deeds system in Lord of the Rings Online. It appeals to the completist in me. I will hunt down that last warg, goblin or ancient ruin until every last Deed moves to the Completed page of my book. That's why I love TenTon Hammer's Guide to Deeds of the North Downs.In their guide, they include how many of each monster you need to kill, the location of all the areas you have to discover and the rewards you get for your efforts. Rewards include, of course, Traits, but they also include one of my favorite aspects of the games: Titles.After you finish this round of Deeds, you can forever more be known as Hero of the North Downs, Foe of the Night or my favorite, Troll-hewer.
