Rapid Travel
TRAVEL NETWORK
The world of Middle-earth is very
large. In order to help you move
quickly to your favorite destina-
tions, each main town has ap-
pointed a Stable-master to help.
Stable-masters will loan you a horse
for a small fee, to travel from one
main town to another. The basic
purpose of a mount is to help you
move faster — up to twice as fast,
with the best mounts.
To rent a horse, talk to a Stable-
master, pick a route and pay the
appropriate fee. You are immediately
mounted, and start for the destina-
tion you picked. While mounted,
you cannot:
• Use a skill (including craft skills)
• Trigger an emote animation
(although the text will display)
• Talk to an NPC
• Use any item that you are not
carrying
You may jump off your mount
at any time along its route (by
clicking on the dismount button),
but you cannot remount until you
talk to a Stable-master again. You
are removed from your mount if
you are knocked down, stunned,
mesmerized, snared or defeated by
an attack. You also dismount when
you log out.
MOUNTS
Loaned horses are great, but they
will only take you between prede-
termined points. It is even better to
own your mount, so you can ride
anytime and anywhere you want to
— although there are some places
where you cannot ride!
You can purchase a mount after
performing a quest at Level 35. It
has the same movement restrictions
as loaned mounts, except you can
freely maneuver your own mount.
In addition to the limitations listed
above, you cannot travel indoors,
into a dungeon, into deep water, or
into a few other areas.
A mount item is bound to you
when you purchase it (Bind on Ac-
quire). Men and Elves can only ride
horses, while Hobbits and Dwarves
are limited to ponies. When you
purchase your mount, it will be
displayed in your inventory. To sum-
mon your mount, click on its icon.
Music
You have the unique ability to
compose and perform your own
music for other players to hear!
At Level 5, you can visit your class
Trainer to learn a passive skill that
allows you to use one or more mu-
sical instruments. You can purchase
musical instruments from any Bard
NPC.
To play music, you must equip
the musical instrument in your
ranged weapon slot, and type
/music
, which will put your
character into “music mode.”
While in music mode, your
shortcut keys are remapped
to musical notes. The 1-8
keys will play notes, and
c and a will shift
those notes up and down an
octave, respectively. To exit
music mode, unequip the
instrument, or type /music
again. If other would-be
composers are bothering
you with their music, you
can disable player music in
the Options panel under
Audio.
