Weekly Sales

Virtues

Custom-tailor your character’s strengths based on your play-style or fellowship need by equipping stackable Virtues. Experience increased morale and power, mitigate various damage types, and more!

Store Location: Character → Virtues
Levels: Varies
295
236

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: These get a “meh” simply because you can earn these in the game grinding them via the deed system. A nice short-cut to a long grind but not a necessary purchase. If grinding is the thing that gets on your nerves then no harm in buying them at all.


tomesTrait Slots

Customize and make your character more powerful by unlocking additional Virtue, Class, Race or Legendary Trait Slots to use with your virtues, traits, and legendary abilities.

Store Location: Character → Upgrades → Trait Slots
Levels: Varies
95-195
76-156

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: First it’s important to note that this is only for free and premium players. VIPs have access to all their virtue, class, race and legendary trait slots, however they unlock at specific levels so it may not look like they are not available.

These may not be an important buy at the earlier levels but those nearing end game will want to consider buying these. They are like equipping additional stats that otherwise you’ll be missing out on. I’ll make a guess and say they may start coming in pretty handy around the level 40+ range.

For more information on the usefulness of virtues, see Ketani’s article “Are Virtues Worth the Grind?” or her latest post on Virtue Changes in Isengard.


Skill Deed Boosts

Unlock your Class Traits even faster by doubling the rate of progress of Class Skill Deeds for 30-60 minutes and bypass the daily skill deed limit! Single & 5-stacks available.

Store Location: Buffs & Boosts → Advancement → Deed
Levels: 10+
50-450
40-360

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: These certainly can be nice boost especially for dratted skill ups such as rez deeds. Also can be handy for skills that don’t require you to be in combat so you can do whatever you please in game and keep smacking those skills for skill-ups during the time limit. For the most part though, you’ll able to earn these deeds as you play along and are not really needing any assistance from a boost.
