Try to fight them for more time. Maybe explain that there's not other common time for us? ;_;

I'm good with those times... But are we planning on doing this daily? Because I kind of have friends and other people who like to drag me about, so I probably won't be able to everyday, but I'll try. @_@

Daily probably won't even work. We'll probably just do it when everyone can

Haha, I hope not. xD
Probably a few days a week, it looks like at this stage.
@Paw: That's what I did to justify my really-really-early-morning timeslot. o3o
Around the time of this post is when I need to be off the PC.

I think I can confirm now that late nights,(my time) like the time you guys were playing tonight, will not work for me. :/

That's a shame, because late nights (except on some week days when I just can't) are the most guaranteed times I can be on.

@Drake:
They don't usually work for me either. The other night was a fluke and my chances of getting on at that time are 4% unless I sleep in. If I sleep in and miss my morning turn, I've probably got a 15% chance of getting on if I can be bothered. Usually not.

I got on four hours before this post and stopped about three hours ago. I waited around a bit to see if anyone was coming on, but this is my cutoff time. The time of this post, just for reference. Actually, it's the last-chance cutoff -- I'm supposed to be off by an hour prior usually.

We discussed houses earlier. Re:
I've chosen mine. I'm going for a Bree house, in either neighbourhood Bradbroke or Haynsbury. Bradbroke would be my first choice, as I found it first, but Haynsbury has as far as I can tell, no inhabitants; all the good houses near the entrance are NOT TAKEN!
Do you have any idea how excited I am that all the awesome deluxe houses are free? In Bradbroke, 2 are taken that aren't in Haynsbury, but I've settled 100% on 2 Garden Road. This property is deluxe, and has a large yard and sits on the creek. I love it. <3

But.
2 Garden has three neighbours; a standard to one side, and a standard and deluxe across the road. In Bradbroke, the deluxe is taken, but I don't know about the two standards. In Haynsbury, which seems to be completely uninhabited (are these new neighbourhoods?), all four of those houses are free. If anyone else wants to move to Bree, we could be neighbours. x3

I only have one problem... 2 Garden is just over 7 gold to buy upfront, and 150 silver a month (is it month? it wasn't clear when we discussed). The rent shouldn't be a problem at all, but I'm now fearing this prime real estate will get snapped up QUICK and with only two chances at that particular house (which is perfect and I love it already), I'm feeling the need to make that gold as fast as possible.
What're good ways? It's looking like I'll have to go and collect several hundred Light Hides (and similar) and sell them in 100 stacks, as they're in high demand that way. I sold my first stack for 850 silver and all my other stuff is selling quick, too. I might just need to go out and deed and slay the hell out of the wildlife, but I worry I might not get there quick, thus asking for help on how to make quick gold.

By the way, the standard house is 950 silver, but it's nowhere near as nice.


Edit: checking this 5-year-old outdated guide... Not a good guide but interesting, as per quotes below. Would like to get your thoughts on this, guys (my comments in bold) :
Places for money
- Barrow Downs - It has a nice and steady money source, not too much money though, but not too little, (this does NOT include Haudh Iarchith). For levels 12-26.
I think this would be good, if I can manage it. I already have 2 Barrow-Downs quests I'm not intending on doing yet. However, I got 3-shotted by a pig ACROSS THE RIVER from the Downs, while deciding if I should try to inch closer for an ore vein.

My current situation:
I'm sure my main source of income will be from drops i.e Hides for Foresters and task items, in addition to crafting, as I am a Tinkerer. Being a Tinkerer, I have Prospector, Jeweller and Cook. This means I can;
- Prospector: If I spend enough time mining (at the same time as collecting hides etc) I can build up huge amounts of ore (60+ at a time) to smelt into many ingots, which include:
** Bronze, Barrow-Iron, and Low-Grade Steel Ingots, which I can't use but armour-makers can. I can sell 100-stacks for anywhere up to 500 gold each, depending on material.
** Copper, Tin (makes bronze), Silver and Gold Ingots, which I can use to make jewellery. Silver and Gold can give me really decent stuff to sell. One thing I've been advised of was Raven Talismans, which sell for 100 silver apiece. I sell them on the AH for anywhere between 50 and 75, and I'm on my way.
- Jeweller: Simple, mostly as above. I smith ingots then use with gems to make jewellery. Cheap stuff (copper) is worth up to a silver each, but gold and silver stuff is worth up to 8s each -- they sell for way more on the AH, about 8x the value on the Value thingy on average.
** There's a bunch of Jewellery I can make that sells for a bit; I recently sold 3 amethyst earrings (worth 1s50c each according to the tooltip) to a level 13 for 30 silver, and we both agreed it was a good price. It looks like one just needs to find the right audience.
- Cook: I can make massive amounts of consumables, often full stacks, and sell them on the AH in bulk, for a bulk-buy discount. For example, I made 120 Roast Pork in a single sitting, which made me a master apprentice cook. LOL.
** This is a bit harder. Unlike the two above, I can't be self-sufficient and need a Farmer to get me the base ingredients. Not particuarly viable.

So basically:
I need gold to get my dream (LotRO) house, and I'm incredibly worried I won't buy it before someone else does, as the two neighbourhoods available are the only ones with anything left (holy shit!). I need to make six times the money I currently have -- at least 8 gold to be safe. 7g500s covers the house, then I want to allow extra for rent for coming months (please clarify if it's months!) and then my normal spending, which is virtually zero outside of sundries and services such as autohorses, repairs, and buying things like coal for my smithing.
I have to do all this in what I percieve is limited time. :asleep:

Can we try and do Trollshaws tomorrow? Ano's so close to level 19 I can't do any quests because she'll level up (510exp to go).
We should go from the beginning and run all the way to Rivendell; start late at night (midnight-4am) to get the trolls and that'll leave us to navigate the second leg during daylight. At least, that's how I understand it. :stare:

You wrote that "Today, 5:38 AM" and I am too tired to figure out what "tomorrow" means from that.

If that is today for me, no. I am 99% sure I can't today.
If tomorrow for me (Thursday), I might be able to get on.
