I just wanted to post this roadmap I made for my LOTRO Minstrel in case anyone else can find it useful. It’s a pretty basic build that focuses on the Minstrel’s core stat (Will) and Morale (health), dividing the Virtue deeds into each zone. I picked only the deeds that were easily soloable, and most of them go up to 12. The letters after the deeds refer to the virtue in question, a +2 means it’s a two-point bump, and numbers in parenthesis are a quick reference to the number of quests or kills that have to be done for that.
Stat focus: Will, Vitality, Morale
Virtues: Idealism, Valour, Wisdom, Confidence, Loyalty
At Rank 12:
- Will: +63
- Vitality: +36
- Morale: +338
- Fate: +36
- Power: +73
- Armor: +180
- Resistance: +3725
- Physical Mitigation: +216
- OOCMR: +486.5
- ICPR: +81
- Might: +9

Nice job!
I’ve been meaning to get around to making one of these for my Captain for a long time… just keep getting too lazy… This might finally inspire me to get around to making my own.
I’ve been playing a Burglar lately and have him up to level 19, but I also really like the Minstrel class. I have one of them, a level 16 human female (my Burglar is a male hobbit) so I might have to “borrow” this guide and work on my Minstrel a bit when the Burglar’ing gets a bit too tedious.
