Summary: Chris, Layanor and Cari talk about Update 10, how mini's are gods, and Chris' fantastic fashion sense. Listen now: What We Did This Week Layanor- Ran some older instances. Got about halfway thru the Rift raid. When level 85s can't get past a level 50 raid, things go bad real fast. Decided to farm some earlier areas in the game to get some rep items. Throw those on some new alts and get free turbine points! Ran a lot of the new instances. However the groups i'm with do not know how to work them. So I have not finished one yet. Cari- Hytbold Dailies Ran a Trouble in Tuckborough 6 man T2 for fun and profit Logged in on Cyn and did a few minutes of leveling. Ran the new 6 man Bell's of Dale with 5 people. http://mmoreporter.com/2013/03/06/cyborg-f-r-e-q-5-headset-review/ Chris- Ding 85 Hytbold Dailies News Update 10 Patch Notes http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Update_10,_Against_the_Shadow,Part_II_Official The Stunlandings have been given a talking to and will behave better.
