If I may make a suggestion, Shauna's excellent Knowledge of the Lore-Master Compilation would be a fine addition to the list.

I can't even tell you how many times I get a tell or a question over vent: "Hey, Ist, what's the best damage type for <insert mob here>?" Shauna's thread is always my first destination if I don't know the answer off the top of my head.

Thank you! As a player who just came back after a year I found these resources to be extremely useful (and much more effective than asking kinnies "how do I...") in getting the feel of lore-master again.

Could we add a link to the best Class Trait/Trait Set thread in here?

Here's what I found but I don't know if there is a better one with screenies of each trait:

Uh oh. The linked thread might have been lost in the forum purge several months ago.

Yet another example of the devs not paying attention to the Lore Masters

This was a great tool for me when I started to play the LM, hopefully we can get it back at some point.

To be fair, it had the same chance of getting saved as any other old thread: they made an announcement and forum users had a few weeks to bump anything they wanted to be saved.

It was up to us, and I have to say that even with the possible loss of that wisdom that among the classes the Lore-Master forum is above average in terms of helpful documentation here on the forums.

I went through and bumped a number of old threads in light of the most recent upcoming forum purge, but if you have any old threads bookmarked that you refer to that are not safe from the purge, please bump them. I'm sure there are threads I missed as well. Lets not lose the valuable information many people have taken the time to compile.

[Mael5trom]

Just reminding others again if they didn't see it on the main page of the forums - it's purge time again so if there are informational threads that you know of that don't have posts in the in the last 90 days, get them bumped up before June 1 so they don't get purged.

At level 60 I've made a guide, now obsolete, but some may yet use it.

I found these articles which provide a lot of helpful info for LMs:

Lore-mastery: What does a Lore-master do? Part 1 & Part 2

[Predator777333]

on the 27.05.2022 why my pets on the Keeper of animals deal damage so smal? then Iam deal damage on 120 lvl - 30 000 damage, my pets still on 80-90 lvl and deal 5 000 damage, when I take 140 lvl my health growup to 200 000, my pet will not have damage at all.
Will you plane do some increace pets damage?
After all the blue branch is based on dealing damage with pets, I myself can damage in the red branch, otherwise blue branch useless.

Ummm. That link goes circular - points to another link, that link points back at the sending link...

On a side note: the LOTRO information is thin, real thin. Also, the LM information and guides are obsolete, this thread should go bye - bye.
