Category:Virtues

From Lotro-Wiki.com

Virtues are a type of trait that increase specific attributes and resistances. Whereas you may gain a tremendous number of virtues, you may only have 5 of them actively slotted at any given time and the ability to slot them becomes available as you level up. You gain the ability to slot virtues at the following levels:

7^th Level
9^th Level
11^th Level
17^th Level
23^rd Level

Each virtue grants 3 benefits that shifts 3 separate values by different levels of potency:

A primary

The largest benefits are assigned to this primary attribute.

A secondary

The secondary value gains roughly 2/3^rds of the benefits gained of the primary.

A tertiary

The tertiary benefit provides the smallest value shift.

Each Virtue is broken into ranks of effect and each is obtained by performing various deeds around the world. As you progress through your levels, you will obtain virtue traits that may be slotted to gain the benefits of their effects.

If you look at your character information in the game, you can see that there are 10 ranks shown for each virtue. Not all 10 ranks are available within the game at this time and different virtues have different maximum ranks from performing the various deeds. The tables below provide information on the various virtues, what effects they provide and the current maximum rank available for each one.

Virtues Table

The following table shows the attribute bonuses at the maximum rank obtainable by anyone -- racial reputation bonuses are not included here so 1 more rank (and subsequent bonuses) are not shown in this table.

This table is sortable by clicking the little symbol in each column header. If you mouse over the column names, they will provide a more detailed description of what that column defines.

Reputation Virtue Enhancements

With the release of book 11, several reputation centers were put in the game allowing players to earn reputation based rewards with the various factions. Among the rewards are new items for the four races: racially specific rewards, called Awards, that grant a new racial trait which will increase 3 specific virtues by 1 rank for that character.

The 4 races each have their own racial award and may currently only use the award for their race. Here is a table showing the 4 races and their award information:

Reputation Center	Rep. Level Needed	Award Name	Virtue #1	Virtue #2	Virtue #3
Thorin's Hall	Friend	Award of Dwarf Virtue	Fidelity	Honesty	Loyalty
Elves of Rivendell	Friend	Award of Elven Virtue	Charity	Patience	Wisdom
Mathom Society (Shire)	Friend	Award of Hobbit's Virtue	Empathy	Honesty	Idealism
Men of Bree	Friend	Award of Man's Virtue	Confidence	Justice	Patience
