Still enjoying the content very much and your stream of consciousness as you play. One thing I notice that drives me batty: inventory bags. One thing I've learned to do, and helps me immensely, as I'm a hoarder and tend to keep most things, is to take advantage of the auto loot sorter. It's the down arrow on Bag #1. I used to hate it and for the longest time refused to use it because I'm a bit neurotic on where I put things, such as food and potions in Bag #3, for example. Hitting the auto-sort just messed that up, but meant I was constantly having to spend time moving items around by hand. But, after forcing myself to use the auto-sorter and learning how LOTRO sorts it, I've found it actually helps. It keeps all like types together and places items in the last bag, working its way toward Bag #1. As new items are acquired, they go at the front of Bag #1. After each Quest, or when I go to a Vendor, I look at each new item, lock the items I want to keep and Sell-All everything else, then Auto-sort the rest. It's an ongoing process, but keeps it fast and simple, much like me. Anyway, I hope that is useful to you. Keep on Questing, I'm enjoying the journey and the personal stories. (PS, except Politics. Remember, no matter which side of the aisle you identify with, half the country disagrees, and some passionately, and you end up losing half your audience.)
Oh, that's awesome to know. Really really appreciate that tip. As I mentioned, I've only been playing LOTRO for 17 years so I still don't know what I'm doing. I will absolutely look for that next session.
@@BlackLodgeTrivia I've been playing for 14 years and only got over my stubbornness this year to use the auto-sort. 1 Bag is just as easy. To the left of the auto-sort is a cogged wheel, press that button and all your bags will open. You'll notice that every second line in each bag is shaded. You can move each line of 5 slots into Bag #1. All bags can be transferred to the main bag via drag and drop. I still refuse to use 1 bag as a settle to my stubborn streak.

And I sometimes see people have everything in one giant bag. I need to figure that and maybe a map mod out.

Appreciate that as well, I'll take a look and see if I make things worse with one bag.
