<h2>Basic Precreated Stats</h2>
<p><b>Easy for beginners:</b><br>
<i>Beginners: I recommend using the Elven races (Silvan/Sinda/Noldo)
because of their immunity against disease and abiltiy to walk over
snow, both of which plague lowbie characters if they are still unknowing.</i><br>
To modify the stats just use the <a href="stats.htm">Stat Generator</a>
and modify the stats to the race you want by using the supplied
stats as a base, the race of Men was initally used because they
have no racial bonuses and therefore derivatives should be easily
be derived from them.<br>

<h2>Strategies for Equipment</h2>
<p><b>Light Shields</b><br>
There are few light shields that load on Arda. The light shields
are the Cardolan, Arthedain, and Gilded. The shields are not that
heavy, they weigh about 1/2 as much as normal shields that give
the same amount of parry bonus. The shields go up in weight as their
pb goes up too.</p>

<b>Shield of Cardolan / Malardil </b><br>
The Shield of Cardolan loads on Malardil. His castle loads north
west of Tharbad and can be reached by spamming north-west from the
Tharbad northgate until you reach a few forest spiders. From there
you have to head south into a random forest with random exits, eventually
you'll get to the castle by going southward. As you pass by a well
and go eastward you should reach the Castle Gate, from there you
need to get a key which loads on one of the rogues in the outpost
south of the gate. Once inside you should kill the guards first.
Try to avoid going up until the guards are dead; Malardil is up
there. Once all the guards have been killed it is wise to get Malardil
to track you outside into the forest. The randoms inside the forest
will prevent him from getting to you and you can kill his followers
one by one.<br>
<i>Requirements:</i> legend -- hero thief -- 3+ level 16s.<br>
<i></i><i>Mobs:</i> Malardil, Gypsy, 8 guards, 4 rogues<br>
<i>Loads</i>: thin metal breastplates, russet cloak, falchions,
full metal shields, shield of cardolan, full leather set, shiny
dagger, lute, set of lock picks.</p>
<p><b>Shield of Arthedain / Bill Ferny<br>
</b> To get to the shack you'll have to go to the west side of the
Midgewater Marshes and look for the "End of the Path".
From there you'll have to enter the marsh to get to his shack by
going 2n, 2e, open bush, d, e. By heading one more east it'll bring
you to 3 rogues, kill them. You should now be next to a bonfire
with a door to the east, this leads into the shack where you'll
find 2 thugs, a robber, and Bill Ferny himself. Kill Bill Ferny
first and then flee out. Loot the "root" from his corpse,
this is the key to the "wall" to the east. You have the
choice of either killing the rest of the mobs or just going on through
the wall by unlocking and opening. Once Bill Ferny is dead the thugs
are free to move around and will come out of the shack eventually.
If you want to do the mobs then kill the thugs when the exit before
entering, thus preventing yourself have to buff all 3 of his underlings
at once; once done with the thugs kill the robber. After you have
entered the room east of the wall you'll find a few silver pennies
and some beer barrels. From here you need a person with a very good
picking skill 80%+ or a warrior with bash/cleric with breakdoor.
You have to pick/bash open the "floorboards". Once that
is completed you can go 1d and kill 2 mastiffs (dogs). If you have
luck the shields should load on the ground.<br>
<i>Requirements:</i> level 12 warrior, blinder -- hero+ -- 4+ level
12s<br>
<i></i><i></i><i>Mobs:</i> Bill Ferny, 3 ruffians, 2 thugs, a robber,
2 mastiffs.<br>
<i>Loads:</i> 3 shortswords, morningstar, cudgel, rapier, large
metal full shield, small wooden target shield, large metal shield,
full metal shield, cassok, forest green cloak, shield of arthedain.</p>
<p><b>Gilded round shield / Galerel the Ghost<br>
</b>The gilded round shield loads on a ghost in a ruined mansion
north of the "Old East Road by a Rock", some east of Bree.
For lowbies/solo character with no good bash/picking skills it is
easier to get the key. There are two ways to do this. There is also
a stove that loads 5 pieces of smoked, cured meat; from the frontdoor
you go north, west, north. Oh, and don't forget to sign the guestbook
1n of the frontdoor too!</p>
<p><i>1) Key (lowbies, you need at least one practice in pick/lockpicks)</i><br>
The "tinted brass key" loads on a black crow near the
Old Wight; from the oer rock go 3e, s and around this area is where
the black crow moves around. Move around here south of the road
until you find the black crow. Its hard to kill it since it has
a max wimpy flee, so arrows/magic are a good way to get rid of it.
Once it is dead you want to loot the key from it's body. Return
to the oer rock. From here you want to go e, 4n, open bushwall,
w. Once inside the bushwall you have to pick open the frontdoor.
From there go n, u. You should be on the "Creaking Balcony"
and then use the key to unlock the door north, go north. There is
some special mudlle here that makes you "winch" a basket
up to the balcony. This basket leads down to Galerel. When you winch
you automatically sit down and have to stand up once the basket
reaches the balcony. Only one person can enter the basket at a time.
Immediately after the basket reaches the top you want to go one
north. Turn climb on if you want to flee from Galerel, otherwise
leave it off. Wait until the basket drifts down to Galerel's platform,
then you can step off by going down. Here you will meet Galerel
the ghost. If you have a group and you want to get them to come,
you should flee/go any direction and pick/open the oakdoor, go south,
open the tapestry, south, up, north. You are at the balcony once
again and can now bring your friends directly to Galerel by going
backwards (d, n, n, turn climb on, u).</p>
<p><i>2) No Key (good +80% pick, bash, break door)</i><br>
Go to the oer rock. From there go e, 4n, open bushwall, w. Once
inside the bushwall you have to pick open the frontdoor. Then go
north, open tapestry, n, pick oakdoor, open oakdoor, turn climb
on, up. Kill Galarel and loot.</p>
<p><i>Requirements:</i> level 14 thief -- level 18+ -- 2 level 14s<br>
<i></i><i>Mobs:</i> the ghost of Galerel<br>
<i>Loads:</i> arda ring, black and silver surcoat, double-edged
eket, gilded round shield.<br>
