Low-level guide to Mines of Moria: What's in it for me?

Written by fuying on May 13, 2009 13:58
  So you are enjoying Lord of the Rings Online, and are looking forward to the Mines of Moria expansion tomorrow, but you're wondering if it will actually have anything for you, as a low-level casual playerThis is a very common concern with most MMO expansions, so we've assembled a little guide for those of you out there who could really care less about the hardcore 12-man raids or end-game content offered in Mines of MoriaWhat's in it for you? See more information fromEQ2 Plat, EQ2 Gold, EverQuest 2 Gold, EverQuest 2 Platinum.

 

Luckily, there is quite a bit, but it often gets overshadowed by the information for the higher level playersFollow along after the cut for a summary of the improvements available to those unsure about purchasing Moria with only low-level characters, as well as some of the lower-level features that will be available with the free Book 15 content upgrade.

 

Two new classes

The Rune-keeper and the Warden are both brand new classes that are included in the Mines of Moria expansionBoth of these will act as the current classes, as their starting zones depend on their racesThere is no new starting zone specifically for these classesCompared with other EverQuest 2 Platinum suppliers, we are in advantage of selling the cheapest EverQuest 2 GoldPlace an order to buy EQ2 Gold here then you will save a lot

 

Two extra character slots

The max characters allowed per account has now been changed to seven, allowing you to experiment more with the new classes, or create yourself a mule character for those bug eyes and boar intestines you've been gathering!

 

Crafting improvements

While the higher-tier crafting changes will be mostly for high-level characters, it is entirely possible to experience these changes without necessarily hitting level 50 (or now, 60)The sixth crafting tier has been added, and crafting guilds will allow players to specialize in their crafting profession of choiceThese crafting guilds won't be found within the mines though, as many people had suspectedHere's a list of their locations in the existing lands of Middle-earth: Earning EQ2 Plat is one of the things that will either make or break youThis is the very first EQ2 Gold guide available that will show you all of ropes of the trade

 

That's right, raiding and instancing isn't just for the max level characters with a full party any moreMoria will introduce two new three-man instances for anyone who wants to take part in the excitement of a raid, without the preparation and time needed to get five or eleven other people togetherMany impatient or frustrated players who do not want to wait to accumulate EQ2 Gold wind up buying EQ2 PlatBe a seller of EverQuest 2 GoldWhy not have your monthly subscription fee paid for from selling EverQuest 2 Platinum?

 

Changes included without buying the expansion

To be fair, there will also be some changes to the game that will come as part of the Book 15 free content upgradeThese include the combat changes, the Ettenmoors overhaul, the fact that quest items will now be stored out of your inventory bags including a new keyring feature for stored keys, hundreds of new quests, deeds and accomplishments, and of course, the updates to the UIThis includes improvements to the Trait UI (with new Trait Sets), skill/action bar additions and moreThis free Book 15 content includes even more that doesn't require the purchase of the expansion, yet it is made for the higher-level charactersWe will touch on that content, plus all veteran Moria content in a future articleThe experts KNOW how to make the most, where to go to make the most EverQuest 2 Gold, and what skills, professions, and trades to engage in to make the most EverQuest 2 Platinum.

 

So in summary, you can certainly choose to not buy the expansion if you don't think you're ready, and still enjoy gobs of new content without paying a dimeHowever, as you can see from this article, and the new complete Mines of Moria release notes, there's certainly plenty of new shinies to make it worth the $30 USD price tagEven if you don't own the game and are looking to get into it for the first time, we can't think of a better time than now to purchase the Complete Edition for $40 USDThis includes the entire game (Volumes 1 and 2) plus a free monthSee more information fromEQ2 Plat, EQ2 Gold, EverQuest 2 Gold, EverQuest 2 Platinum.
