Purpose: PvE book catch-up with the goal of getting folks up through Epic Book 14 before the release.

Time(s): Evenings, Eastern Time - Will have to be (for me) Sunday night through early Wednesday night, with time for smaller 1 hour sessions during the rest of the week.

Requirements (flexible): Level 47+, 3k+ morale, "Soloable" books mostly done if possible - I'd like to make this primarily a 13 & 14 catch-up group, but we can help others with 12 and maybe 11 also.

Dates: I'm setting this weeks set of Sun-Wednesday as my primary days. Next week, I'll still have some time on those same days (yes even with FC 2 coming out ;)) - however, with Fallout 3 the following week, I'll definitely be MIA hehe. After that, I can dedicate the week prior to MoM (Sun night-Weds, Nov 9-12) for more book work, and finally Nov 16-17, Sun & Mon before the release will be "last minute rush days". So to make a crude calendar out of all that mess....

(All evenings, 4-10pm EST)
Oct 13-15 (full bore)
Oct 19-22 (half speed)
Nov 9-12 (Full bore)
Nov 16-17 (Last minute rush)
-----------------------------------------------
More details: If I don't get any tells or see anything freep-side in GLFF during those times, I will give it maybe 30 mins to an hour and then go do something else. IF however, a large enough group wants to come and do something later, I can be contacted the following ways (in order of effectiveness)

1. BAOS/lotro forum PM - I rabidly check my email, and since I get instant notification on PM's, this would be the best. User names - Gerpler [BAOS] / Krato [Lotro]
2. On vent, in either the main MP section or on the WAR section (name, Gerpler).
3. In-game, on creep-side, most likely on Gerpler (PST's).
4. This thread! :D
-----------------------------------------------
If people want to sign up with a post in this thread, I can and will start making fellowship lists and updating them as often as possible (also looking for leaders for additional fellowships, weather you've done said books before or not). If possible, multiple fellowships working on various areas at once (one for 12, one for 13, etc) will maximize the effort of getting people caught up.

Fellowships:

*Reserved*

See ya in PvEland :D

From what I've read you'll need to complete the first new Book to acquire your Legendary Weapon, and as I recall there is some sort of fancy headgear as a reward, not sure its in the book though. Also, I read somewhere else that later in the same book or the next one you can start getting your class items as well.

This is true - I believe you also need to complete the first book to actually enter the mines, but that's just a rumor atm.

It is independent.. but it pretty much goes nowhere. You do a couple run arounds, learn a backstory.. then you wait for the next book. No rewards

I'm sure the devs would give us something nice as a reward for doing Vol2..... they can't expect us to do them if there are no rewards.

Admittedly still haven't downed Thorog on my watch, and I only got the Balrog to 86k before we wiped (tank somehow dropped dead.... but we only had 11 people and down a captain at the same time.. and with a 48 minstrel)... but I feel pretty confident on everything else.

Say it aint so!!!

I have killed the above said creatures over and over on all 3 of my 50s.

If the group isnt on thier toes, it is easy for the tank to die on the Rog.

My 2 "main" freeps are both @ 14.1 By the time book 14 came out I think I was burned out :)

Didn't the dev's say that Volume 2 was independent of Volume 1? Meaning you don't have to finish any bks to start on the Moria ones.

(thou I'm sure the gear you get from them will help. at least for awhile.)

Ended up with a group last night that was running 13, so both myself and a few others are done with 13 (not sure if any of those were yall's toons ;)).

I should have some time to work on Book 14 today...similar times again - approx. 4pm -10 est.

Eomin is running a Helegrod this saturday at 7pm EST. Check the Elendilmir boards to see if there's a slot free. Other than that, I can get those things running for both Rift and Helegrod.

Admittedly still haven't downed Thorog on my watch, and I only got the Balrog to 86k before we wiped (tank somehow dropped dead.... but we only had 11 people and down a captain at the same time.. and with a 48 minstrel)... but I feel pretty confident on everything else.

My guardian is done all the books (and I don't play my alts enough to care) but I'm hoping to get him on some more rift and/or Hele runs before MoM comes along. Are there any plans for more trips in there?

My LM is stuck on 12.3, but my minstrel is happy to come along and help with anything else, as is my LM.

Arielth -> Lore Master
Edhellreth -> Minstrel
