The Turbine Official Guide
- With more and more individuals joining the world of LOTRO players via electronic download instead of purchasing "a box" -- the knowledge of the existence of a Game Manual from Turbine is fast disappearing.
- This Official Guide provides a wealth of details into every aspect of The Lord of the Rings Online.
- The current version included with Update 12, Helm's Deep, is still entitled: "Siege of Mirkwood." (It does not include information on Mounted Combat or Epic Battles.)
- A PDF copy of the Turbine LOTRO Game Manual is included in every download (PC or Mac).
- However, this "Treasure" is "buried" in the download!
- On the PC, look in the directory "Program Files/Turbine/The Lord of the Rings Online/en (Deutsch de, Français fr or English en).
- For the Mac see: Mac_Client#The_Turbine_LOTRO_Game_Manual:
- In that directory you will also find copies of the EULA and TOS documents AND the "LOTRO Game Manual.pdf." The EULA and TOS documents are in html format and will display in your browser if double-clicked on. NOTE: the EULA and TOS are in their respective languages, however, the Game Manual in each directory is in English.
- That same PDF Manual is available as a free download from http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/game-manual.
