Skirmish of Skirmishes
Battle of 21st Hall vs. Battle of Way of Smiths
Votes
WINNER – Battle of Way of Smiths: Bill, email & Isanna
Battle of 21st Hall: Chat room & Chris
– Per your show between the two Moria skirmishes, I like Way of the Smith best, probably because the ending is more dramatic and you don’t have to worry about the fire-carrying-slow-moving goblins who try to burn the barriers in the 21st hall while you’re busy bashing heads. It’s not so badk if you’re not solo, but still, I just prefer Way of the Smiths.

Comment from Episode 124 – Braag
Great idea with the Skirmish Ladder guys. LOVE IT. You should also record the total Medalloons, seals, IXP, etc. you get from each skirmish and create a table when done.
Also, based on this Podcast, the new LOTRO expansion should be called “The Riders of Brohan”!!!

Hey guys, love your podcast. I would love to see your podcast on Zune Marketplace, so I can get your podcast on my sweet new windows phone. Pretty please, there may be pie in it for ya as I have a few extra from all the Shire pie deliveries that I recently finished :)
Thanks,

I just wanted to pass on a tip that I found in one of Roger Edwards posts at www.Containsmoderateperil.com
The comment thread is attached here http://www.containsmoderateperil.com/update-6-the-shores-of-the-great-river/#comment-2764
But it essentially says to buy a scroll to refund your skirmish points and then reallocate them. B/c of the conversion from Skirmish Marks to marks, you end up with a lot of extra marks. How many? Well, I just did it with my Level 75 minstrel who had a near maxed Herbalist. I refunded 30K marks, and by the time I finished reallocating, I had over 21K left… That means I have enough for some barter stuff, or I can train 2 more soldiers for when the Companion / open world soldiers come in.
Might be good for your “did you know?” segment.
Regards.

Lindsey Stirling is a great violinist. Great music, might be new podcast music? Maybe not…
