One Druid, Many Worlds

I plan on writing up a page on Lore-master non-combat pets complete with pics and maps, but until then you can find a good starter guide at LotRO Vault.

Confirmed non-combat pets so far: hare, sparrow, turtle, dog, cat and fox. Two have yet to be found.

You can’t have a non-combat pet and a combat pet out at the same time. And you can rename your pet by targeting it and typing /pet rename (newpetname). More info in the linked article.

In the Book 11: Defenders of Eriador content patch, LotRO introduced a new cosmetic change to Lore-master pets. Using a new crafted Amulet, Lore-masters can change the appearance of their summoned combat pets.

For example, the normally black Raven pet can be summoned looking pure white or mottled brown. Every one of the Lore-masters four summonable combat pets now have different skins in addition to their default texture.

There is no other buff or change to the pet or its abilities. This is purely a cosmetic change for variety.

The Amulets need to be worn during the summoning process and are crafted by Jewellers. Their recipes drop randomly from creatures in Middle-earth. You’ll either have to farm mobs for the recipe drop or scan the Auction House for an already made Amulet.

I’m starting a separate page to collect information and will update it as I find more information. It’s the Lore-master Amulet Page and is linked to my Lore-master Info page.

I’ve recently created a Lore-master in Lord of the Rings Online and am having a hard time finding core information about the class all in one place. So as I’m collecting all the information I need, I’m also putting this information here for others to find. I’ve created a page with basic information here.

In this first article, I will cover the basics of the Lore-master‘s first pet.

The Raven.

First attained at level 4, the summoned Raven is two levels lower than the Lore-master so be sure to resummon when you level up. When called, the Raven grants the group +15% Shadow damage mitigation which makes it useful in certain situations, mostly high level.
