LOTRO: Virtue Traits for Leveling and DPS Guide & Tips

love your content

As always, thank you for your tutorials.

I don't think virtues have that much of impact in-game to really make a difference by changing one or two. But again, its just imo. As always great vid!

Wouldnt it be better for a solo player to just have 5 virtues that increase dps rather than loyalty?

Awesomely informative as always louie. Ty for helping us lotro newbies

Thanks again Louey, youre really a master and o learn a lot from your videos. Let me ask something: i love and play a warden and am using honour or fort instead of Valour, because you told in a previous video. Det Wit Loy Conf and Fort. Youre now then suggesting Exchange for Valour?

I haven't commented lately but you are my favorite LOTRO content creator. Going to be jumping back into LOTRO with the freetime I have had lately.

Would love the see a video on the specs for the different raids / instances by class type (healer, tank, etc).

Thank you <3

Uh... Virtues? I just got to level 20 and I have no idea what these are.

A tip I forgot to mention is it is best to work on one virtue at a time and getting it maxed out before moving on. The stat curve with virtues isn't linear with level, so low level virtues give relatively lower stats compared to high level virtues
(In other words, leveling 5 virtues to level 10 is worse than leveling 1 virtue to 50. The level 10 virtue stat boost will be negligible overall, while the single level 50 virtue will be much more impactful)

Great guide. I was researching virtues to level on my new Beorning and found this guide very helpful. I wish there were more guides like this for leveling class and all the intricacies involved for an optimum leveling experience.

Loved the video. Thanks for all your hard work. If you're taking suggestions for future content, would it possible to make one, or to suggest virtues for a class that's trying to solo group content (Beorns/Wardens/Capt/Guards/etc) ? Keep up the great work!

I did my first 120 Valar boost this last weekend but....hit a glitch. I worked my way to the Virtues of the Valar - Intro Quest and my quest log popped open and it showed that it had been completed, but there was no way to finish it, and the Virtue Trait Coffer would not open. I tried to shuffle some things around in my inventory and when I tried to move the quest page for the Virtue quest a window popped up saying, "Are you sure you want to cancel this quest?" and then it just vanished! LOL Now I still have the Coffer and it won't open and the quest is gone altogether. I'm at level 120 with level 20'ish virtue traits. My question for you, Louey, is how long will it generally take to get 5 virtues to rank 65 from about 3 each? I hate to have wasted 60 bucks on that boost, but if it will take months I may just scrap him.

Thank you.

Straightforward and helpful, thank you!

I mean a DPS's best defence is typically a strong offence

I haven't played LOTRO since the Wildermere update (yeah, it's been a long while) and I'm amazed at how much the game has changed. I'm kind of lost. Just playing a new character while I figure out what on earth has been done to a lot of the game systems. Also my bags are full of insane giftboxes lol. Thank you very much for making these guides. Yours are the most coherent on YT. I appreciate you still putting in the work after all these years.

Thanks :D

Just getting into the game with my renewed Lotr obsession. I found this info to be really helpful, thank you.

Getting back into my game with my mid-level main minstrels, and this is super helpful!! Hard to find info on virtues that is clear and easy to understand. Thank you!

I made a lot of mistakes when I first started playing, left, and now back again. Is there anyway we can do a virtue reset? I’m level 26 champion. I wanted to put in Wit but it’s grey and I can’t move it. But at least I plan on leveling one virtue first. Thanks for the vid!
