Lotro Points are a way to obtain various content within the game using the ingame LOTRO Store -- from mounts, cosmetic items and buffs to quest and expansion packs.
Obtaining LOTRO Points
- Lotro Points (LP) can be obtained in several different ways:
- Purchase Lotro Points using real money. (Note: Any real money purchase automatically reclassifies you as a Premium subscriber.)
- This can be done in-game at the LOTRO Store, or at store.turbine.com when not in the game.
- (Various payment methods can be used: Credit Card, Pay Pal and Steam currency.)
- For current pricing see: Buy LOTRO Store Points! https://www.lotro.com/en/buy-lotro-points
- Lotro points may be acquired by redeeming "Point Cards" available from many different merchants.
- Various "Game Cards" and retail "bundles" may also provide Lotro points.
- In small amounts from completing numerous Deeds or obtaining Reputation with various Factions in the game.
- You get 500 Lotro Points every month as a Lifetime member or VIP. These are awarded on the anniversary of your Join Date.
Important information
- LotRO Points are the currency of the LOTRO Store. Purchased LotRO Points are associated with a particular game account, and are available to any character from that account, across all servers.
- Note that some items purchased from the LOTRO Store become bound to the purchasing character, while other items designated "Bound to Account" may only be shared by characters on the same server.
- LotRO Store transactions are processed by third-party company Xsola. As a consequence, there can be a short delay between earning LOTRO Points in-game, such as for Deed completion, and having the points available in the store. Xsola assumed operation of the of the LotRO Store in September of 2015, replacing VISA Inc subsidiary PlaySpan.
