Grimberg Master Westfold Scholar


Captain Grimberg breezed through the Dragon Clan settlement with the help of Rallying Cry and Muster Courage Heal where Hunter Apelred had to do a lot of running away.
Now Grimberg is near his homeland he is wearing his Rohan outfit.
Questing from Galtrev took Grimberg to Level 69 and Friend with the Dunlending Faction. Scholar Grimberg could then buy the Dunlending Battle/Warding Lore recipes. He crafted all the materials saved by Apelred and made Master Westfold Scholar. The Dunlending Battle/Warding Lore scrolls are going for 200 silver each on the AH, a nice little earner!

Apelred bids farewell to his L65 bow

 Now Apel has hit L75 he turns his attention to crafting & weapons. He has to bid farewell to his lovely L65 2nd age 5 Major legacy bow as it is broken up for parts (he hasn't used it since L71). He was very lucky when levelling up replacement L75 3rd age xbow & club. The xbow has 4 Majors and the club had 5 Majors.

Apel managed to strip all the legacies he wanted from the weapons he was levelling and had enough runes to get both xbow & club straight to L70. Apel could not find 5 Melee Majors he wanted so replaced one with the Deep Concentration power heal buff. A trip to the Bard changed Apel from 5 Blue 2 Yellow to 4 Blue 3 Red for a bit more DPS and swapped Fleetness for Rain of Thorns.

Next he visited the Trainer for an overdue lesson in some new skills.

After that it was off to the crafting hall to level up his Prospecting, Forestry & Tailoring in the Westfold skills.

Apel is going to take a well earned rest to focus on crafting some guild recipe medium armour. He might also move some legacy points from Strength Quick Shot Slow to another legacy. Here is a link to the the excellent Legendary Item Point Spender Tool for Ascarsul L75 where you can play with the setup.

Adventuring will now be picked up by Captain Grimberg who is on Level 68 and has recently arrived in Galtrev.

L75 after the Fords of Isen disaster

 Apelred sports his Grey Company outfit with Grimbold & Theodred. He struggled to help Grimbold with the retreat in Vol 3 Book 5 Chapter 4 getting jumped by multiple Orcs but after the latest patch this seemed to get a lot easier. Apel finished book 5 and did a few book 6 quests in Thinglad and finished Isendale quests to make L75. He also made Kindred with Theodreds Riders by liberal use of the Rep Accereration scrolls from the Lotro Store.

Prisoner Apel gets to L74

 Apelred is put to work while imprisoned in Isengard but strangely is allowed to keep all his weapons & armour? Very useful when fighting Surly Uruks for their run buff. He has an audience with Saruman which proved hard to resist. Apel eventually escapes with the help of fellow prisoners, most of whom sadly don't make it.
