Book 13: Doom of the Last-king. All in Mail, Never Clinking. Fishing in LOTRO

A most-requested feature has finally arrived: Fishing!

We are proud to reveal the sport of fishing as the first "Hobby" introduced to The Lord of the Rings Online. And what is a Hobby, you ask? A Hobby is an activity that you may choose to participate in for fun or for profit! Similar to LOTRO's crafting professions, a hobby allows players to experience more of the world of Middle-earth, and to interact with the world in new and exciting ways.

And what better way to begin than by finding a nice spot along the bank of a river, casting your line into the water nearby, and basking in the glory of the day while trying to nab a prize-winning fighting fish - or perhaps your next meal!

Players who are eager to begin the activity of angling should make their way to one of four Hobby Masters, who can be found in the following areas:

Bree-town (Scholar's Stair Archives)
Michel Delving (Bird and Baby Inn)
Ered Luin (Thorin's Halls)
Rivendell (Hall of Fire)
