Thank you everyone. I have been playing LOTRO for over a year now, and just recently came back to the game over the past summer. Thanks you the opportunity to help edit and improve one area of the game I do enjoy, TASKS.

Tasks

Your updates to Tasks look good so far. I know it's a big job, so thanks for taking that on. Hopefully a few of us at various levels can chip in a bit too. At least changing them to 10 makes it easier to keep track of how many items are needed. -- Elinnea (talk) 09:27, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

May I ask what * means? If it means "unknown" I think it is better to let the old number stand, or maybe use ? to indicate uncertainty. A * is most often used for a footnote, but I cannot find one. Cheers -- Zimoon 09:15, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

PS: Ooh, I found your comment at Elin's talk-page -- you do not need to find the other persons talk-page, we see when you have answered at your own page ;) -- and my suspicion was verified. Notice this sentence from the release notes:

"Tasks across the game will now require only 10 trophies for completion, excepting special cases (like the Limlight Gorge.) "

It seems all tasks now require just 10 trophy items. It is good you want to verify, but I think we could rather safely remove the required items column for all tasks, except the mentioned areas. There is no point in having the same number in all all rows of that column, it should rather be stated in the general description of the Task system that all Tasks require 10 items and mention that exceptions exist, then spell out these exceptions only in the tables. Otherwise we just bloat the tables with same-same information, don't you think?

PPS: Whispering: many editors have the character info at their "User page" where others are not supposed to talk but we present ourselves. Not mandatory of course, we all do as we like. DDS. -- Zimoon 09:26, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Sounds good Zimoon, I will go through and start cleaning up the sections. Olohof (talk) 09:34, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Creature Drops

I noticed you struggled with Thieving Shrew (Shire). Notice the specifier with parentheses, this is since there are also Thieving Shrews in Evendim, named Thieving Shrew (Evendim). Type the creature name in the quick-search box (top right corner) and you will see some suggestions, that will help the next time. For those location-specified names I tend to show the complete page name as it helps the reader to find the sought after creature and it also explains why there may be two or more same-name creature in the same list, which otherwise would be confusing. Also, we usually do not specify on region for these common task trophies. However, some other types of items, or when the list is huge, some editors have grouped per region.

Thanks for your many nice submissions though, many thanks. -- Zimoon 17:08, 22 November 2012 (EST)
