= Description =
'''Roving Threats''' (RTs) are a type of landscape content (i.e. not a dungeon or instance) designed for players in [[Small Fellowship]]s, [[Fellowship]]s, and [[Raid]]s. All Roving Threats are level 100 except for those in [[the Wastes]] which are level 105. They were introduced with [[Update 15 - Gondor Aflame - November 5, 2014|Update 15]]. They are similar in concept to [[Warbands]], but differ in that Roving Threats can appear in areas where [[Mounted Combat|mounted combat]] is not permitted (specifically [[Eriador]] and [[Rhovanion]]). 

All Roving Threat quests are repeatable daily and cannot be picked up again until the next day if cancelled.

On [[Legendary Server|legendary servers]], even though RT quests auto-bestow at level 95, they cannot be progressed or completed unless the server's level cap is at least 100, at which point the associated NPCs and enemies will appear.

=== Spawning cycles ===
Roving Threats appear randomly in specific locations and will only change their location once a day, at {{Server Time|3|00}}. Each [[area]] has a number of established spawn locations (see next section for details). At the start of each day each Roving Threat is assigned a particular spawn spot for the day around which it patrols. After defeat it respawns in that same spot after 5 minutes.

=== Abilities ===
Each Roving Threat has a set of unique abilities and thereby provide a greater challenge than Warbands typically. For example, the spider [[Scythe-jaw]] will apply a poison that instantly defeats players upon expiration unless it is removed. Roving Threats are labelled as [[:Category:Rare Arch-nemesis|Rare Arch-nemeses]] and therefore it is recommended to fight them with a group (although characters near to level cap may be able to solo some or all of them).

''Hint:'' A [[Lore-master]] using a [[Friend of Sturdy Beasts (Bear)|bear companion]] can effectively tank some Roving Threats since many of their special abilities are not used against pets.
