Chapter 1 Introduction
This is not an exploit guide, you will not find any cheats or hacks here, if you are looking for such things, then this guide is not for you... For all the rest of you who like to play by the rules, lets begin: I play LOTRO from early phase of beta. This gave me the oportunity to use my 7 years of expertise in online games. After months of testing and adventuring I found out that making gold in LOTRO is in no way different than in other online games I played: best method to make tons of gold is to KILL, LOOT and SELL the loot. In this guide you will find WHAT and WHERE to KILL, and what LOOT to SELL. Because even the low level characters need gold, I will cover all levels from 20 to 50. Lower than level 20 you really don't need gold, just use your quest reward items and you will be more than fine. But starting with level 20 you need gold for better items, repairs, potions, mount at lvl 35, and so on. All races and classes can use this guide, no restrictions here. To be effective with this guide, you need to follow a few simple basics rules:
- keep your equipment good enough for your level, use quest rewards, looted or crafted items - when you start to kill for money, just KILL, don't chat, don't admire the landscape, and most important DON'T DIE - loot all corpses - rest only when/if is necessary - if your bags are full and you are to far away from a NPC merchant, just destroy a few items that don't stack and have a low selling value - plan your time, I found that the best is a 2 hours session, less than that you lose to much time with traveling (some spots are far in wilderness) and after 2 hours it start to became bohring... but you will have the bags full anyway - if you have 43 pieces of a stackable items with max stack size of 50, stay and kill more until you fill the stack of 50 (you will sell faster a stack of 50 beryls instead 43 beryls) - allways check the prices of the items you put for sell at AH (Auction House) and set the price for your item same as the lower price listed or just a little lower if you are in hurry to sell - allways set a buy out price for your items and choose 2 days listing duration - kill, kill, kill and loot then sell

Hey, I know is bohring to kill same mobs over and over in same spot, but we are not here to have fun, we are here to make a lot of gold and to ...

RULE THE MIDDLE-EARTH

Chapter 2 NORTH DOWNS for levels 20-25

Go to Trestlebridge in North Downs and make Trestlebridge your home. If you never been in Trestlebridge before, here is the route you must follow: from Bree Westgate go North following the road, pass the Northern Bree-Fields, keep going North until you enter in North Downs, along the road you will see Trestlebridge (14.6S, 54.5W). From Trestlebridge cross the bridge located at North of town then go East to location (15.6S, 51.7W). There you will see a fortress guarded by orcs.

There are 22 mobs in the area, level range 22-23 with a respawn rate of 4-5 min: Tarkrip Raider: melee, level 22-23, 639 morale Tarkrip Picket: ranged, level 22-23, 587 morale Wandering Cruel-Beak: melee, level 22, 293 morale The entrance in fortress is guarded by 4 orcs, kill first two then the next two of them. Once inside fortress start killing in circle until you clear them all. At this moment, the first mobs you killed should respawned, kill them and repeat the killing in circle. Do this for one hour. After 51 min you get 4 bags full of loot and 111s.

Go back to Trestelbride to sort and sell the loot and repairs. Repairs are max 30s. Check your inventory for valuable items worth to sell at AH (Auction Hall). I got 5 single use Recipe, 7 Cryptic Text, 6 Ruined Second Age Trinket, 3 Bloodstone, 7 Opal and 3 yellow items. Sell the rest of loot (trash loot) to a NPC merchant for 110s. If you are not going to kill more for today, go to Bree, else you go back at killing and visit Bree at the end of your killing session. Once in Bree, go to AH and auction your items, set a decent buy out price (10-20s per item will do it). All items worth 355s, deduct 5% AH fees and you get 337s after the items are sold. 111s(coins drop)-30s(repairs)+110s(trash loot)+337s(from AH)=528s in 51 min. If we make a short calculation will end up with 621s in one hour.

Congratulation, you have 621s after one hour of easy killing. Nod bad at all for a level 22-25 character, think that other players don't have even 100s at this level. Conclusion: As you can see, the income at low level is not to much, but you can make decent money and get good XP by killing here. I put this in my guide just to help the low level players to earn some cash for repairs and decent equipment. I suggest you to get a couple more levels and try the next spot presented in this guide.

Chapter 3 NAN WATHREN for levels 25-35

Go to Trestlebridge, cross the bridge located at North of town then go East, pass the orc fortress described in Chapter 2 and stop at location (15.6S, 51.7W). You are in a area with many level 23-24 orcs (like 35 or so) with 4-5 min repop. Tarkrip Render: melee, level 23-24, 626 morale Tarkrip Shooter: ranged, level 23-24, 667 morale Violent Tarkrip: melee, level 23-24, 674 morale Raging Tarkrip: melee, level 23-24, 674 morale Tarkrip Marksman: ranged, leve 24, 667 morale Cruel-Beak Watcher: melee, level 23, 313 morale Cruel-Beak Spy: melee, level 24, 334 morale To take full advantage of this spot you must have Explorer vocation. In fact, I suggest you to pick this vocation if you don't have it already, is the best vocation at low level. Don't worry, you can respec later and choose another vocation, you will preserve the skills if your new vocation have one of your older profession (i.e. if you respec from Explorer to Armourer, you will preserve your skills in Prospector). Why is good to be an Explorer when you kill at this spot? because there are 4 nodes very close to eachother with a respawn rate of 3-6 min. Just enough for you to kill the mobs in the area. Node1 is situated at location (15.9S, 49.6W) Node2 is situated at location (15.6S, 49.6W) Node3 is situated at location (15.9S, 48.6W) Node4 is situated at location (16.0S, 49.0W) See the pictures below:

Nodes can be Rich Iron Deposit, Gold Deposit or Yew Branches. Just roam from node to node in this order Node1-Node2-Node3-Node4 and kill all the mobs in your way. Loot the corpses and gather the nodes. When you are done with Node4, the mobs around Node1 should respawned, kill them and in the mean time Node1 is up again, gather the node and repeat your roaming route. Very close to Node1 is a big camp with orcs, don't miss this camp, its our best resource of orcs. If your inventory is full of items, just destroy a few items which don't stack and have a selling value lower than 2s, you will have more room for stackable items. After 40 min you have 4 bags full of loot and 122s.

Go to Trestlebridge, sort and sell the loot and repair your items. Lock the items worth to sell at AH (3 yellow items, 6 single use Recipe, 11 Cryptic Text, 9 Ruined Second Age Trinket, 3 Bloodstone, 3 Opal, 9 Gold ore, 14 Rich Iron Ore, 18 Yew Wood). Again, you can go to Bree AH now or you can kill more and go to AH later after you have more items for sell (I choose to kill more and go to AH when I have full stacks of 50 ore and wood). Set a decent price at AH for your items, after you check the other sellers prices: 205s for ore and wood, and 385s for the rest of items. There is 590s worth in total, after 5% AH fees are deducted, you get 560s. Sell the trash loot to NPC merchant for 89s. Repair cost is max 30s. 122s(coins drop)-30s(repairs)+89s(trash loot)+560s(from AH)=741s in 40 min. You can get here 1112s in one hour.

Conclusion: This is a very good spot if you have Explorer vocation. But, even if you don't have Explorer vocation you still get 820s in one hour, which is pretty good thing.

Chapter 4 RHUNENLAD for levels 35-45

Go to Esteldin in North Downs and make Esteldin your home. If this is your first trip to Esteldin, here is the route: from Trestlebridge, follow the road to North then East. Esteldin is located at (9.8S, 40.8W). Once you are in Esteldin go East then South until you reach location (13.5S, 37.8W). See the picture:

There you fill find two camps with orcs, very close to eachother (13.5S, 37.8W) and (13.1S, 37.9W). There are arround 20 orcs and 10 wargs in the area. A good thing is that they respawn pretty fast (2-3 min). Ongburz Slicer: melee, level 31-32, 1045 morale Ongburz Spear-Tosser: ranged, level 30, 935 morale Ongburz Skirmisher: ranged, level 32, 1035 morale Ongburz Warg-Keeper: melee, level 32-33, 1075 morale Ongburz Berserker: melee, level 33, 1086 morale Roaming Warg: melee, level 31-32, 1045 morale

In first camp you will see two signature orcs Ongburz Sharp-Eye: ranged, level 35-36, 2497 morale.

Start to kill the mobs in first camp (avoid the signatures if you can't kill them). When you are done there, move to second camp. Don't forget to loot all corpses. In picture, first camp is on the right side. Nice bonus: close to first camp, at location (13.5S, 38.0W) spawn Malglok, a level 32 signature orc. Kill him as many time you see him there, he drop an Adamant Shard every time you kill him, you can sell the shard for 250s at AH. Malglok respawn time is 1-2 hours. After one hour of killing you have 4 bags full of items and 422s. Go back to Esteldin to sort and sell the loot and repairs. Repair cost is 70s. Lock the loot worth to sell at AH, and sell the trash loot to NPC merchant for 238s. Here is a list of loot to sell at AH and the prices: 53 Sturdy Hide - 159s 23 Orc Battle-Medallion - 161s 4 Mathom - 40s 1 War-Master's Lash - 100s 7 Fragment of Dunedain Script - 35 5 Relic of Lothlorien - 100s

6 Adamant - 30s 4 yellow items and single use Recipe - 60s Deduct 5% AH fees and you will get 650s.

422s(coins drop)-70s(repairs)+238s(trash loot)+650s(from AH)=1240s in one hour Conclusion: This is a good spot, in 4 hours you can get the money for mount, and if you are close to level 35 you get nice XP here too.

Chapter 5 Fasach-Falroid for levels 45-50

Fasach-Falroid is a region situated in Angmar. If you never been in Angmar before, here is the route to follow: from Esteldin go East then North, until you are at East Ram Duath POI (6.0S, 39.0W), from there keep going North, you will enter in Angmar soon. Follow the road North to Aughaire (0.2S, 39.3W). Make Aughaire your home. Go to North-East then North to location (6.3N, 36.0W), you are at a camp with tents now. See the pictures below for a better understanding:

Route to Fasach-Falroid:

The camp overview:

In this area, you will find level 43-45 mobs to kill. Respawn rate is 3-5 min. Iron Crown Fighter: melee, level 44-45, 1786 morale Iron Crown Scout: ranged, level 44-45, 1854 morale Deadly Scara: melee, level 43-44, 1786 morale Duvardain Raider: melee, level 43-44, 1804 morale Duvardain Blood-Dancer: melee, level 43-44, 1817 morale Duvardain Scout: ranged, level 43-44, 1768 morale You will fight with 2 mobs at a same time, even with 3 mobs sometimes. Just pull from the outside and fight in a spot where no other mobs will spawn on you. After one hour of killing you get 4 bags almost full of loot and 360s.

Go to Aughaire, sort the loot and repair. Repair cost is 110s. Lock the loot worth to sell at AH: 20 Mathom - 200s 4 Well-kept Mathom - 120s

16 Exceptional Hide - 112s 7 Pristine Hide - 35s 7 Beryl - 70s 2 Undeciphered Moon-letter - 40s 9 single use Recipe - 270s 5 Long Lost Second Age Text - 20s 1 Legendary page - 30s 15 Hooked Warg Claw - 75s 972s in total, deduct 5% AH fees and you will get 925s after the items are sold. I suggest you to go back in and kill more mobs until you have full stack of 50 hides. Sell the trash loot to a NPC merchant for 215s. 360s(coins drop)-110s(repairs)+215s(trash loot)+972s(from AH)=1437s in one hour Conclusion: In this spot, you get just a bit more gold as in Rhunenlad, but is way more difficult to kill. Why to kill here then? because you can get good XP at same time, if your character is level 45-49.

Chapter 6 BURZUM PUSHDUG for levels 45-50

Burzum Pushdug is another public dungeon in Angmar, the entrance in dungeon is located at (4.2N, 35.0W) in Fasach-Falroid, North of Tor Gailvin POI. From Aughaire follow the route described in picture:

The entrance is guarded by orcs.

The mobs inside dungeon are orcs and scara with 3-5 min respawn rate. Tarkrip Warrior: melee, level 43-44, 1769 morale Tarkrip Curse-Shouter: ranged, level 44-45, 1782 morale Deadly Scara: melee, level 43-44, 1751 morale

Killing in this dungeon is pretty hard, you have to be good at killing 2-3 mobs at same time. Kill in first room, close to entrance. After you have killed all the mobs in first room, go and pull mobs from second room, do two pulls from second room and you will have respawn in first room, repeat. Loot all corpses. If you have to many mobs on you and can't kill them, just run out of dungeon. Do this when you have at least 30% morale, one or two orcs will attack you outside, go back inside fast and you are safe again. After one hour of killing in Burzum Pushdug you have 4 bags full of loot. Go back to Aughaire, here you repair your items (repair costs are 92s), sort the loot and sell the trash loot. Loot worth to sell at AH and the selling prices: 25 Pristine Hide - 125s 30 Exceptional Hide - 210s 3 Legendary page - 150s 3 single use Recipe - 90s 6 Relics of Lothlorien - 120s 24 Hooked Warg Claw - 120s 7 Fragment of Dunedain Script - 35s All items worth 851s at AH, deduct 5% AH fees and you get 808s.

Sell the trash loot to NPC merchant for 326s. 0s(coins drop)-92s(repairs)+326s(trash loot)+808s(from AH)=1042s in one hour Conclusion: As you can see, you don't get any coins by looting the mobs here. This is a decent spot for making money, because there are not many players inside, in fact you will be alone 99% of the time. You can get decent amount of XP if you are level 45-47. This is a very good alternative for your leveling, and you make some gold at same time. If you level there from level 45 to 47, you will have 12-15 gold extra, pretty good i'd say.

Chapter 7 SARNUR GREAT HALL for levels 47-50

Sarnur Great Hall is a public reputation dungeon. The entrance is located at (20.6S, 103.3W) in Ered Luin behind Orodost. Reputation dungeons are a very special ones because of the dynamic respawn they have: the respawn rate is influenced by the number of players inside dungeon at that time, a big number of players inside will lead to a faster respawn, close to instant respawn. From Bree Westgate take the horse (swift travel) to Thorin's Gate, from there travel South following the road and enter in Vale of Thrain. Follow the path shown in the picture below:

Inside the dungeon habitate dwarfs, beasts and trolls. Normal mobs in main area and elite mobs in lower level. We will concentrate on the main area. Dourhand Blaster: ranged-melee, level 46-47, 1956 morale Dourhand Excavator: ranged-melee, level 46-47, 1956 morale Cave Hendroval: melee, level 46, 934 morale Scaveging Cave-Claw: melee, level 46-47, 1956 morale The best spot I found to kill in Sarnur Great Hall is a room situated at the back of the dungeon, close to the entrance in Sarnur's Keep.

Go to the room marked in the picture. There are 2 cave-claws and 4 dwarfs in the room, linked 2 by 2. Another dwarf roam in the room. Kill the 2 cave-claws first, then kill the dwarfs from the right corner and finaly the dwarfs from the left corner. When you fight stay at the location where mobs are, this way you will not aggro the other mobs. Now that you cleared the room and looted all the corpses, go outside the room and kill the 3-4 mobs that roam there.

If there are many players in Sarnur, you will have an almost instant respawn, so be fast when you kill and loot. After one hour of killing you get 4 bags almost full of loot and 291s. Return to Bree for repairs and selling the loot. Repair cost is 106s. Sort the loot and lock the loot worth to sell at AH. Here is the loot for AH and prices: 100 Dourhand Crest - 700s 9 First Age Relic - 450s 40 Exceptional Hide - 280s 1 Legendary Page - 50s 3 Undeciphered Moon-Letter - 60s 5 single use recipe - 150s 39 Gem-encrusted nail - 270s This is 1960s worth loot in total, we deduct the 5% AH fees and you get 1862s.

Sell the trash loot to NPC merchant for 299s. 291s(coins drop)-106s(repairs)+299s(trash loot)+1862s(AH)=2346s in one hour Conclusion: 2 Gold and 346 Silver for one hour of killing, nothing else to say :)

Chapter 8 SARNUR's KEEP for levels 48-50

Sarnur's Keep is a public reputation dungeon with dynamic respawn. The entrance is located in Sarnur Great Hall.

Go to the gate, open it (right click) and go inside. You can't do this in combat.

All the mobs inside Sarnur's Keep have a greater protection buff on them. Basically they are immune to almost all types of damage. Best is to use weapons with Ancient Dwarf-make damage, if you don't have such a weapon, you can use Lightning damage, but you will deal only 70% damage compared with Ancient Dwarf-make damage. Dourhand Mine-Overseer: melee, level 48-49, 2119 morale Dourhand Gem-Seeker: ranged-melee, level 48-49, 2098 morale Blue-Crag Warg-Keeper: ranged-melee, level 48-49, 2056 morale Cave Warg: melee, level 48, 2027 morale I suggest you to kill in the middle area (see the picture below) because you have just enough mobs to kill there, on other places you either have to less mobs, either to many and you will die.

After one hour you have a little over 3 bags full of loot and 163s. Go back to Bree for repairs and sell the loot. Repair cost is 89s. Lock the loot worth to sell at AH: 50 Dourhand Crest - 350s 32 Exceptional Hide - 224s 4 Beryl - 40s 3 Undeciphered Moon-Letter - 60s

3 Tier 5 single use Recipe - 300s 1 Legendary Page - 50s 25 Splintered Warg Claw - 750s You have 1774s worth loot, deduct the 5% AH fees and you get 1685s after the item are sold.

Sell the trash loot to NPC merchant for 245s. 163s(coins drop)-89s(repairs)+245s(trash loot)+1685s(from AH)=2004s in one hour Conclusion: You get less money from this spot, compared with Sarnur Great Hall, because the mobs are harder to kill. Still, killing here is a very good option if you are after rare Tier 5 recipes or after very rare items. You can loot here even pieces of legendary class armour sets.

Chapter 9 Ongbishuk for levels 48-50

Ongbishuk is a camp with orcs in South-East zone of Angmar at location (1.0S,25.7W), just North of Gabilshathur. Since Book 12, you can swift travel to Gabilshathur from Aughaire, but you still can travel with your horse if you like. Make Gabilshathur your home and go North to Ongbishuk.

Here is the route to follow from Aughaire and from Gabilshathur:

You will have to fight 2-3 orcs at same time, and in a few occasions you will aggro 4 or 5 orcs. Kill the archers first and you will be ok. If you are not very good at killing, there are single orcs wandering arround the camp, those are easy to kill, but you will get less loot if you can't kill 2-3 orcs at same time and fast.

The orcs are level 46-47 with a respawn rate is 3-4 min. Blogmal Skirmisher: ranged, level 46-47, 1975 morale Blogmal Defiler: ranged, level 46-47, 1955 morale Blogmal Warrior: melee, level 46-47, 2015 morale. After one hour of killing here you get 4 bags almost full of items and 349s.

Go back to Gabilshathur, repair your items for 97s and lock the loot worth to sell at AH. Here is the loot and the AH prices: 71 Orc Campaign-Medallion - 355s 10 War-master's Lashes - 1000s 3 Beryl - 30s 2 Undeciphered Moon-letter - 40s 5 Long lost Second Age text - 20s 1 Legendary page - 30s 5 single use Recipe - 150s In total 1625s worth. Deduct 5% AH fees and you will get 1544s after the items are sold. Sell the rest of loot at NPC merchant for 193s.

349s(coins drop)-97s(repairs)+193s(trash loot)+1544s(from AH)=1989s in one hour Conclusion: This is another great spot, you can get almost 2 Gold in one hour of killing.

Chapter 10 GAERANNON for levels 49-50

Gaerannon is located in Annuminas (Evendim) at location (18.4S, 71.4W). If you never been in Evendim before, here is the route: from Trestlebridge (North Downs) go North to Fields of Fornost then go West to Evendim. Keep going West to Tinnudir (12.2S, 67.4W). Make Tinnudir your home.

Cross the Lake Evendim to Adannon (location 17.9S, 72.1W). Here is a safe spot where you can rest after fights or run with mobs if you are close to die. The friendly NPCs from Adannon will kill the mobs. Gaerannon is very close now, just go a bit East to the broken columns.

See the picture below:

This is the only place in Annuminas where you can kill easy as a solo player. You can kill the mobs one by one because they spawn at a decent distance from eachother. There are 14-15 mobs in total. Angmarim Soldier: melee, level 50, 2171 morale Angmarim Bowman: ranged, level 50, 2171 morale There is only one signature mob which roam: Angmarim Captain (melee, level 50 signature, 4342 morale). Start to kill the mobs from North to South. Loot the corpses. If you kill very fast, you can go a bit more to South and kill the other 4-5 mobs on the hill. Respawn is 3-4 min, so you can kill there non stop. If you want to pull an archer to you, use your ranged weapon and hide behind a column, the archer will come to you in melee range. After one hour you have 3 bags almost full of items and 295s. Once again, I suggest you to stay and kill until you have all your bags full of loot. Go to Tinnudir for repairs and sort the loot. Repair cost is 92s. Lock in your inventory the items worth to sell at AH: 52 Black Badge - 416s

25 Arnorian Armour Fragment - 250s 7 Band of Numenor - 700s 6 Beryl - 60s 1 Undeciphered Moon-Letter - 20s 7 single use Recipe - 210s We have here items worth 1656s, deduct the 5% AH fees and you get 1573s after the items are sold.

Sell the rest of items to NPC merchant for 117s. 295s(coins drop)-92s(repairs)+117s(trash loot)+1573s(from AH)=1893s in one hour Conclusion: This is a good spot if you are looking for a place where to kill easy, to get good XP at level 49 and with not to many players around. Is best spot to get Annuminas barter items (Arnorian Armour Fragment) as a solo player. Also, there are great chances to get rare Tier 5 recipes and even very rare items (epic class set items).

Chapter 11 Final conclusions

In this chapter I will revise all the spots described in the guide, pointing out the particularities for each spot. After Book 12, all loot table was changed, again... Some mobs don't drops coins anymore and for other mobs the drop rate was nerfed. Since Book 11, the only way to make more than 1 Gold per hour is to sell the loot at AH. Arround 75% of your income will be from selling at AH. Keep in mind that the prices at AH are not the same on all servers, and the prices may go up and down, this is how the economy work in LOTRO and other online games. Please take the amount of gold for each spot as an average amount, you can get with 20% more or less gold. Keep in mind that the amount of gold at each spot don't count any rare recipe/item you evetualy loot. Basically, you will get a higher amount of gold, depend on your luck at looting rare items. North Downs for levels 20-25: Not to many things to say here, basically is the only decent spot for levels 20-25 where you can get good money and XP. Nan Wathren for levels 25-35: Even if your character is not Explorer, you still can get here high amount of money for a level 25-35 character. Kill here a few hours and you will have enough money to keep you going until level 35. Rhunenlad for levels 35-45: This is the best spot if you are level 35 and you need money fast for your mount, you can have the money to buy a horse in just 4 hours of killing here. Not to mention that you will get 1-2 levels at same time. Fasach-Falroid for levels 45-50: This is a very good spot to get XP from level 45 to 47 and make good money at the same time, don't miss it if you are level 45. You can loot here nice Tier 4 and Tier 5 recipes. If you are higher than level 47 there are better spots. Burzum Pushdug for levels 45-50: This was the best spot in game for making money (1500s in one hour only from looting and selling to NPC merchant) but this was nerfed in Book 11, before nerf the mobs droped 20s each, after Book 11 they droped only 4s and after Book 12 they don't drop coins anymore. Anyway, is still good to kill here if you are level 45-46 and need XP, no other players go there now, so you have all the mobs just for you. If you are at least level 47, go and kill in Sarnur.

Sarnur Great Hall for levels 47-50: Very good spot for making money and for XP, your main income is from selling the items to AH. If you kill more than 2-3 hours per day here, you will have to wait 1-2 days until all your items are sold at AH. Sarnur's Keep for levels 48-50: Here is harder to kill compared with Sarnur Great Hall and you will get a bit less amount of money in one hour, but there are great chances to loot very rare Tier 5 recipes and epic class set items. Ongbishuk for levels 48-50: At this spot is not very hard to kill and you are very close to Gabilshathur, so you can sell the trash loot and go back at killing in no time. Very good spot for long play sessions (2-4 hours). Gaerannon for levels 49-50: If you are a player who like to kill easy and without other players around, this is the spot for you. Good XP at level 49, best place to get Annuminas barter items, good chances to loot very rare items, all this make from this spot a a good choice, even if you get only 1900s in one hour. BEST SPOT: Best spot to make gold is Sarnur Great Hall with 2 gold 300 silver in one hour. Followed by Sarnur's Keep and Ongbishuk with 2 Gold in one hour and Gaerannon with 1 Gold 900 Silver in one hour.

MY PERSONAL RECOMANDATION: I strongly suggest you to alternate the following two spots: Sarnur Great Hall and Gaerannon. If you do this you will have more types of items to sell at AH (you will sell your items faster) and is not to bohring :). Kill 2 hours in Sarnur Great Hall and 2 hours in Gaerannon, you will get 8 gold and 500 silver in 4 hours, this is 2 gold and 125 silver average in one hour. I can guarantee you that in those 4 hours you will loot at least one very rare Tier 5 recipe (beryl jewelries, radiant cloak or nice weapon recipe) and other 1-3 semi-rare Tier 5 recipes. You can sell the recipes for anything between 1 Gold and 5 Gold. If you are after recipes, kill just in Gaerannon, Annuminas is the place with best drop rate for Tier 5 recipes after Book 12. This method will give you at least 2 Gold and 500 Silver in one hour of killing, GUARANTEED !!! Now you have all the information to become really rich in LOTRO and to ...
