Basic Stats

Morale

  • Morale is the amount of damage you can take before being defeated in combat. It is the equivalent of "health" or "hit points" in other games.
  • When your Morale Points are entirely exhausted, you are defeated.
  • If that happens you have 600 seconds to be "revived," (typically by another character or yourself) or to "retreat."
When that timer expires, or if you use the retreat option, your character is brought to the nearest Rally point.
Reviving oneself has a cooldown that increases with your level, with two hours being the maximum amount.
If your cooldown timer has not yet reset, Mithril Coins can be expended to activate the "Revive" option.
You are normally unable to revive yourself when inside an Instance and can only be revived by another player or retreat.
Keep in mind that when you revive, you revive where you were defeated; you have very little Morale or Power and can easily be defeated again immediately!
Morale Improvement
You can increase your Maximum Morale both Permanently and Temporarily by increasing your Vitality.
Stat Tomes can be used to increase Vitality up to a maximum of 90 points (as of Helm's Deep.)

Morale Regeneration

Lost morale can be recovered by some skills or by using consumable items such as Athelas potions and salves, eating certain food, or rest.
Minstrels, Captains, Lore-masters and Rune-keepers can restore other characters' morale and most classes have skills enabling them to restore their own morale, both in and out of combat.
Morale naturally regenerates over time. However, regeneration amounts differ every 60 seconds, depending on whether the character is in combat or out of combat and what, if any, enhancements exist.
Some Skills, Potions and Salves and most consumable items (such as food or campfires) will enhance the amount of morale/power that is recovered every 60 seconds -- in or out of combat!
Skills, Potions and Salves are designed for in-Combat use, and work equally well in-Combat or out-of-Combat.
Foods, however, provide for larger regeneration amounts, both in and out of combat, but can only be consumed in Non-Combat situations.
Foods are therefore often used as a "buff" prior to entering Combat.
Non-Combat Morale Regeneration (NCMR)
In-Combat Morale Regeneration (ICMR)

Power

Power is your inner reserve. It is used by almost all skills.

  • Non-Will classes (Burglar, Captain, Champion, Guardian, Hunter, and Warden) gain 50 points of power per character level.
  • Will classes (Lore-master, Minstrel, and Runekeeper) gain 65 points of power per character level.
The following Virtues can increase Power:

Various pieces of equipment can also increase power.

Power Regeneration

Lost power can be recovered by some skills or by using consumable items such as Celebrant potions and salves, eating certain food, or rest. Lore-masters have a skill which restores power in other characters, and several classes have skills that can restore their own, both in an d out of combat.

Non-Combat Power Regeneration (NCPR)

Fate increases your Non-Combat Power Regeneration.

In-Combat Power Regeneration (ICPR)

Fate increases your In-Combat Power Regeneration.

Main Attributes

Armour

Armour provides strong damage reduction against physical (common, sources and some damage reduction against tactical sources. See the Armour article for more details.

Might

As of Update 10, 6 March 2013:

Might increases your ability to block incoming attacks with a shield, parry incoming blows, and reduces incoming physical damage. For Captains, Champions, and Guardians, Might also increases the damage you do with a weapon. For Captains, Might also increases the damage of tactical skills and healing.

Agility

As of Update 10, 6 March 2013:

Agility increases your ability to evade and parry incoming blows, and increases your chance to critically hit a foe. For Burglars, Hunters, and Wardens, Agility also increase the damage you do with a weapon. For Wardens, Agility also increases the damage of tactical skills and healing.

  • 1 point of Agility = 4 point increase in Evade Rating
  • 1 point of Agility = 2 point increase in Parry Rating
  • 1 point of Agility = 1 point increase in Critical Rating
  • 1 point of Agility = 10 point increase in Physical Mastery for the above three classes.
  • For Wardens, 1 point of Agility = 10 point increase in Tactical Mastery.

Vitality

As of Update 10, 6 March 2013:

Vitality increases your maximum Morale, your Non-Combat Morale Regeneration, your Resistance Rating, which reduces the chance you'll be affected by Wound, Disease, Fear and Poison effects, and your Physical Mitigation. It will also provide Tactical Mitigation which reduces incoming damage from non-weapon sources like Fire, Frost, Lightning, Acid and Shadow.

Will

As of Update 10, 6 March 2013:

Will increases your ability to defend against non-physical damage sources. It also increases your Resistance to Disease, Fear, Poison, and Wound effects. For Lore-masters, Minstrels, and Runekeepers, Will also increases the damage you do with a weapon or your skills, and increases your Outgoing Healing. For Burglars, Champions, Guardians, and Hunters, Will mildly increases your Outgoing Healing.

Fate

Fate increases your In-Combat Power Regeneration and In-Combat Morale Regeneration. Fate also increases the chance and magnitude of Criticals.

  • Fate increases your In-Combat Power Regeneration according to this equation:
    • (Fate * 1.71) + 240 (The 240 points are not technically from Fate, although they are displayed that way in the Character Panel.)

Damage Dealt

Offence

Offence involves the three main means of damaging an opponent: Melee, Ranged, and Tactical.

Melee Offence

Amount of damage dealt with Melee weapons and abilities. Improved with Might and the Melee Offence Rating.

Ranged Offence

Amount of damage dealt with Ranged weapons and abilities. Improved with Agility and Ranged Offence Rating.

Tactical Mastery

Increase the amount of damage you do with Tactical abilities like those of the Lore-master, Minstrel, and Runekeeper, as well as several Captain and Warden skills. It also increases your Outgoing Healing.

For Captains, Tactical Mastery increases with Might.
For Wardens, Tactical Mastery increases with Agility.
For Burglars, Champions, Guardians, Hunters, Lore-masters, Minstrels, and Runekeepers, Tactical Mastery increases with Will.

Note that Tactical Mastery gives little benefit to Champions, Guardians, Burglars, and Hunters, merely improving a few self-heals through Outgoing Healing.

Critical Hits

Melee Critical Chance

Your chance to score a critical hit with Melee weapons and abilities. Improved with Agility and Melee Critical Rating.

Ranged Critical Chance

Your chance to score a critical hit with Ranged weapons and abilities. Improved with Agility and Ranged Critical Rating.

Tactical Critical Chance

Your chance to score a critical hit with healing or Tactical damage skills. Improved with Fate and Tactical Critical Rating.

Damage Reduction

Mitigation

As of the Riders Of Rohan expansion damage mitigations have been simplified and fall into two categories, Physical Mitigation and Tactical Mitigation.

Physical Mitigation

Reduces any incoming physical damage you take by a certain percentage. Categories of damage that are physical are: Common, Ancient Dwarf-make, Westernesse, Beleriand. Only player characters can do physical damage that is non-common so defense against it is not important except for sparring and PvMP.

  • Physical mitigation rating = Armour + Might *2 + Vitality * 2 *** This formula is valid. (Update 10, March 2013)

Tactical Mitigation

  • Tactical Mitigation is a Character Stat which reduces the amount of incoming damage your character takes from certain damage sources. It protects you from most attacks that are non-physical.
  • Acid, Fire, Frost, Lightning and Shadow Damage Types all fall under the category of tactical attacks and thus have their damage directly reduced by Tactical Mitigation.
  • Tactical attacks cannot be Evaded, Parried or Blocked, but they can be Resisted. You can see the type of damage being done to your character by viewing the Combat Log.
  • Some sources of Tactical Mitigation are Armour, Fate and Will. Hunters and light armour classes also get a contribution from Vitality. A sizable amount can also be acquired through intelligent Jewellery choices and Virtue (Character Traits) selection.

The following Virtues increase Tactical Mitigation directly:


Tactical Mitigation is an important Character Stat for Tanks and end-game raiders, as most Instance and raid bosses will do Tactical Damage instead of Physical Damage a strong majority of the time.

For details on the influence of basic stats on Tactical Mitigation Rating, see Character Stat Derivations.

See Stat caps for current cap values.


Fire

Reduces the Fire damage you take by a certain percentage.

  • Fire mitigation rating = use Tactical Mitigation rating

Frost

Reduces the Frost damage you take by a certain percentage.

  • Frost mitigation rating = use Tactical Mitigation rating

Shadow

Reduces the Shadow damage you take by a certain percentage.

  • Shadow mitigation rating = use Tactical Mitigation rating

Acid

Reduces the Acid damage you take by a certain percentage.

  • Acid mitigation rating = use Tactical Mitigation rating

Lightning

Reduces the Lightning damage you take by a certain percentage.

  • Lightning mitigation rating = use Tactical Mitigation rating

Defence

Melee Defence

Reduces the Melee damage you take by a certain percentage.

Ranged Defence

Reduces the Ranged damage you take by a certain percentage.

Resistance

Increases your chance of resisting Fear, Wound, Disease and Poison effects.

  • Resist rating = ( Will + Vitality ) * 2 *** This formula is no longer valid. (Update 10, March 2013)

Avoidance

Block

Your chance to block or partially block an incoming Melee or Ranged hit. A Shield must be equipped in order to block, and your attacker must be in front of you.

  • Block rating = Might * 4 *** This formula is valid. (Update 10, 26 March 2013)

Evade

Your chance to evade or partially evade an incoming Melee or Ranged hit. You can evade a hit from any direction.

  • Evade rating = Agility * 4 *** This formula is valid. (Update 10, 26 March 2013)

Parry

Your chance to parry or partially parry an incoming Melee or Ranged hit. A Weapon must be equipped in order to parry, and your attacker must be in front of you.

  • Parry rating = Might * 2 + Agility * 2 *** This formula is valid. (Update 10, 26 March 2013)

Critical Defence

Melee Critical Defence

Reduces an opponents chance to score a critical hit with Melee weapons and abilities.

Ranged Critical Defence

Reduces an opponents chance to score a critical hit with Ranged weapons and abilities.

Tactical Critical Defence

Reduces an opponents chance to score a critical hit with Tactical damage skills.

Stat caps

The following is a list of character stat caps (base character stat + slotted traits + equipment bonuses). Note that character stats, traits and bonuses affect the rating for chance skills, rather than increasing the chance directly.
There is a benefit for exceeding the caps if you are fighting mobs of a higher level than yourself: your stat disadvantage will not be deducted from the cap, but from your nominal higher rating (then reduced to the cap, if necessary).
Note that Buffs, such as the Elf +75% Parry chance for 10 seconds, can cause a character to exceed these caps.

For the armour related caps, it isn't important what you are wearing, just what you can wear.

Enhancing basic stats

You can enhance your character's five basic Character Stats and modify your Offence and Defence attributes in several ways.
Most all of these enhancements are cumulative, however, the devices providing the enhancements are frequently "self limiting" -- you can only wear two earrings or equip one shield, for example. Other items, such as foods, are limited to one type in use at a time. Some items "cancel out" immediately, i.e. allow immediate swapping, but other items have "cool-down" timers which must expire before the next similar item can be "used" -- typical with foods, if you consume the wrong one, you have to wait until its duration or cool-down expires.

Permanent Enhancements

A Stat Tome is a device to permanently increase one of your character's five basic Character Stats (Agility, Fate, Might, Vitality and Will). A statistic upgrade is acquired by consuming the appropriate Stat Tome. Each Tome to increase your basic Character Stat must be consumed in sequence — 1, 2, 3, etc. These increases are reflected in your Character's Passive Skill panel, under "Attribute Enhancements". Access to tomes is gated by Level.

Drop Information

Purchase of Stat Enhancement Tomes from the LOTRO Store

Any Stat Tome 1 - 20 can be selected from a Stat Tome Box for 525 LOTRO Point .

Stat Tomes 1 - 5 are also available as a Bundle for 1295 LOTRO Point . The cost is pro-rated if you already have one or more ranks provided in the bundle.

Since you can only purchase those items you are immediately eligible to use, the LOTRO Store will only show you that one item, not all the similar items which are available. I.e. if you own Stat Tome 2, it will show you Stat Tome 3 and the Bundle, but it will not show you individual Stat Tomes 4, 5 etc.

Such enhancements are not considered Buffs as they can essentially be changed "on-the fly" whenever one is out of combat.
Temporary Enhancements to your Stats are called "Buffs."
Buffs from "Spells" cast by other characters, or when in the vicinity of certain characters or items have "Durations" or "Areas of Effect."
For example: The Hunter Buff: "Find the Path"' affords a +15% run-speed boost to all members of the Hunter's Fellowship who are within 20 meters of the Hunter any time the Fellowship is out of combat.
Buffs from "Food" items have "Durations."
Trail foods typically boost Stats for their "Duration," while other foods typically purge various effects, such as Wounds or Poison AND boost certain effects such as In-combat or Out-of-combat Morale or Power Regen (ICMR/ICPR or OCMR/OCPR).
Trail foods are crafted by Cooks. Other foods may be obtained as Quest Rewards, from Vendors, and are also crafted by Cooks.

Armour and Jewellery

Each piece of Armour, Jewellery or Weapon is different. One must examine each item individually to determine its effect(s).

Different pieces of Armour or Jewellery, in addition to enhancing your basic Armour Stat, will typically enhance one or more of your character's five basic Character Stats and possibly modify other Offence and Defence attributes.

  • If an item is a Quest reward, in your pack, vault or the inventory of a vendor, simply mouse-over each item to see its tooltip which lists its effects.
  • If equipped, in the Character panel, mouse-over each item to see its tooltip which lists its effects.
  • The effects from all equipped items can be seen (cumulatively) in your character Panel by examining the "stats" in the right hand column, rather than the item's tooltip. (By equipping and un-equipping each item while the Character panel is open you can note the change in your character's overall stats.)
  • The majority of enhancements from most pieces of armour or jewellery are "always on."
  • Other enhancements require that you "use" ("On Use") the specific item. The enhancement then typically has a Duration, and a Cool-down period before it can be used again.
  • Other items provide "On <...> Proc" (automatic) effects -- such as if you are taking damage or if you are healing or being healed.
  • Frequently, multiple pieces of Armour or Jewellery will combine to form a "Set. Such a set yields additional bonuses when multiple (two or more) pieces of the set are worn.

As an item's durability drops to zero, it will cease to give any benefits until repaired.

Item Wear can be mitigated through certain boosts, such as:

The Essence System

Certain pieces of Armour and Jewellery can be enhanced at the player's option by placing Essences into available slots.
