Virtues
Virtues are one of the four types of Traits your character can gain in LotRO. You acquire Virtues, and gain up to 18 ranks within each, by completing Deeds and occasionally Quests. Any Virtues earned over rank 18 are stored but do not contribute to any bonuses.
Each Virtue grants bonuses to 3 different Character Stats: the primary stat receives the largest bonus, the secondary stat receives a smaller bonus, and the tertiary stat receives the smallest.
In order to activate these bonuses, the player must open their Trait Tree Panel (accessible by pressing "J" or clicking the image of Gandalf on your Toolbar Left Slot 7) and select the third tab on the left. Earned virtues can be pulled into an available slot along the bottom of the panel. These 5 slots open up at levels 7, 9, 11, 17 and 23. These virtue bonuses stack with each other and with all other bonuses, and are an easy way to tweak your character's build for different game-play situations. Previously, a player had to visit a Bard and pay 1 25 per virtue to slot or change a virtue.
