map, it will show the region you are
in. You can use the map to see other

to zoom in. Alternatively, select the

part of the Middle-earth map.

Map Notes
menu for a complete list
of icons available for the current map.

The full range of icons include:
g Web Features
The Lord of the Rings Online includes
special web-based features accessible
from inside the game. To use the web
features, click the upper-right button
on the Radar display (
G ). Once the
in-game browser opens, you can in-
teract with a variety of reference and
interactive tools that extend your play
experience and tie it into your www.
lotro-europe.com website activities.
When you fi rst activate your Prod-
uct Key you will receive an e-mail
welcoming you to our website and
instructions for how to start getting
involved in the game’s web social
network. Please refer to this e-mail
for more information.
b Character Vitals
The meters in the top left corner
indicate your current Morale Points
(green) and Power Points (blue). If
you want to display your exact cur-
rent Morale and Power (rather than
just the bar itself), check the box for
Vital Bar Numbers (in Options: UI
Settings: Panels). You can also see
the Vitals for allies or enemies by
targeting them.
c Effect Icons
When you are under the infl uence
of an effect (poison, enchantment,
Dread, an incapacitating wound,
a Morale boost, and so forth), it is
indicated under your vitals by an icon.
Hover your cursor over an icon to see
a description of the effect. If an effect
has a fi xed duration, you will also see
its remaining time count down. See
Wounds & Other Effects
, p. 64.
d Target
When you left-click on a target,
such as another player character, an
NPC or an enemy, its name and
Vitals will be shown next to your
Vitals. When you click on an item,
the item’s name will appear next to
yours. Hostile enemies display health
in red, neutral characters show a
yellow bar, and friendly characters
have a green Morale bar. When you
target a potential foe and its Vitals are
grey, that means someone else has
already engaged it (“tapped” it). You
can attack it, but you will not get
XP or loot for defeating it; whoever
attacked it fi rst gets those.
e Radar (Mini-Map)
The Radar displays a small map of
your immediate surroundings. It
shows the direction you are facing
and the direction and distance to
other places in the game world.
Arrowheads pointing off the edge
of the Radar indicate directions to
towns (gold), resources (blue), and
so forth. Hold your cursor over an
arrowhead to see what it is tracking.
Green circles indicate other fel-
lowship members. If one of your
fellowship is beyond the edge of the
Radar, a green arrowhead indicates
his direction.
Hover your cursor over an icon to see
what it marks. Right-click on the “+”
in the dark-blue circle (
f ) and select
Filter for a complete list of available
icons. See Radar & Map Icons
(next column) for a list of all the
icons that can be found on the Radar,
and how to toggle them. (Note that
your Radar fi lter is different from
your Map fi lter — you set up each
fi lter separately.)
Press M or click on the
“+” in the dark-blue cir-
cle (
f ) for a full-screen
map of the region (and
access other maps of
the world).
