re: Week 4 In-game Assignment

0

 

Hello! The assignment for week 4 has been posted. The assignment is to ascend Weathertop and document your journey with either a video, or with an essay and screenshot. See here for details.

 

One way to do this is the undertake the epic quest Retake Weathertop as either a solo or fellowship quest. We ran two instances of the fellowship version of the quest already, and I have added 3 more instances to our calendar:

 

  • Tuesday, 10PM server time (EDT): this should work for people who play evenings in the Americas (including, hopefully west coast US people, for whom this would be 7PM local time)

 

  • Wednesday, 1PM server time (EDT): this should work for people who play evenings in Europe, and during the day in the Americas

 

  • Friday , 8PM server time (EDT): this should work for many people who play evenings in the Americas, and this is Saturday morning for those in Australia/Far East time zones.

 

If none of these times work for you, and you would still like to do the fellowship version of the Retake Weathertop quest, please ask on the coursera chat channel for assistance, and hopefully you can find people to accompany you! Or, you can also do the solo version of the quest.

If you do not have the quest (because you have already done it, or are not quite up to that quest in the epic quest line), you can still do the quest by getting it from a reflecting pool after all characters doing the quest have formed their fellowship (you will all travel to the instance together).

 

If one of the fellowship members cannot enter the quest instance with the others for some reason, there is an alternate way of pulling someone in to the instance: drop the person who is having entrance issues from the fellowship, all remaining members of the fellowship enter the instance, and then invite the other person to the fellowship, which should allow that person to enter the instance with the others.

 

Since many people have already done Retake Weathertop, I am hoping that they can run it again to assist their fellow students that haven’t done it yet.

 

If you choose to go to the summit of Weathertop without running the Retake Weathertop quest, you should be able to do it without help if your character is in the 20s or higher. If your character is lower than that, and you would like some help to make it to the top, please consider going on one of the group escorted trips to the top of the summit:

  • Wednesday 2PM servertime
  • Friday 9PM servertime
  • Sunday 3PM servertime

 

If none of these times works for you, just ask for an escort on the coursera chat channel.

I could probably run one on Thursday during the day (off work). Might possibly make it to tonight's run as well. Off Wednesday as well, but will be going to the state fair. Definitely not playing LOTRO there. hehe. :)

Those who have completed Retake Weathertop can replay via a fountain, right? Vague memories of that happening last year... Can't exactly remember how it's done, and I won't be able to bump one of my other characters up to 20 before tonight.

Yes, players who have already run the quest can still enter via the Reflecting Pool! What would happen is that the group fellows up, then the people who have not yet done the quest yet enter it by talking to Candaith, and those who have done it already enter by using one of the Reflecting Pools (the nearest ones are at Ost Guruth in the Lone Lands, and on the Scholars Walk in Bree).

Here is a link to the LOTRO wiki article on Reflecting Pools. This article also points out that people who are NOT up to Book 2, Chapter 5 yet can still use the reflecting pool to enter the instance as long as someone in the fellowship has already entered the instance.

I'd like to do the quest on Friday, but I looked in the wiki and it says that is a lvl 23 quest. Do I have to be at least 23 to be able to do the quest or I can go with a group if I am lower?

No, you don't have to be 23; you can go if you are lower than 23.
