[edit] What is the Lorebook?
The LOTRO Lorebook is a wiki - a searchable database - connected to the game itself. The Lorebook contains information on nearly every quest, item, creature, NPC, class, and race in LOTRO. Players can use their forum account to log into the Lorebook to edit it, making it even more robust and useful to the player population.
Please visit the Lorebook forums on the LOTRO forums with questions or feedback!

Lorebook Updated to Book 13!
May 5, 2008: The Lorebook has been updated with new information and changes introduced in Book 13: Doom of the Last-king, including quests, maps, items, recipes, and creatures.

[edit] Try Advanced Search!
Due to popular demand, we've added an advanced search tool that can be used as an alternative to our keyword search feature. This tool allows you to search for items, quests, and more according to specific criteria.
The latest release of the tool has been optimized and includes the following search tabs:
- Weapon - search by weapon type, name, level, quality, DPS, speed, and more
- Armour - search by armour type, name, level, quality, armour value, and more
- Quest - search by name, description, category, level, and more
- Deed - search by name, description, category, level, and more
- Trait - search by name, description, and category
- NPC - search by name and type, and view the result on a LOTRO Google Map
- Recipe - search by name, tier, profession, and more
