News Update- October 1st 2019- Rewards

Hail And Well Met!

Last week we gave a sneak peek of Rossiel's upcoming cards, while this week we are discussing tips for new players, focusing on rewards and how to obtain them.

There are a number of ways of earning new cards and cosmetics in The Lord of the Rings™: Adventure Card Game. If you don't own our game, it's important to understand that this is not a free to play game. You get a base level of cards with the Core Set, and can then earn new cards just by playing the game.


The first method to earn new cards is to use Fellowship. This is earned simply by completing quests. You gain 1,000 Fellowship for completing a quest (and a smaller amount if you cannot complete the quest).

You also earn Fellowship by completing in-quest challenges. Want to know what challenges you need to complete in a quest? You can do this by clicking on the Rewards tab in the Play menu. Some challenges are the same between different quests, while other challenges are unique to each quest. You will gain a total of 200 Fellowship for each challenge you complete per quest for a maximum of 1,000 additional Fellowship.

You earn a 500 Fellowship Bonus for completing a quest in the Adventure Play Style.
You earn a 1000 Fellowship Bonus for completing a quest in the Challenge Play Style.

You can spend Fellowship on the following:

• Unlocking New Cards for your Decks
  
• Unlocking Alternate Art for your Hero Cards
  
• Unlocking Cosmetic Items from the Vault like Avatars, Player Name Tags, and Emotes
  

We've discussed how to unlock these items in previous news stories.

However, besides Fellowship, how else can you earn rewards? We covered a few methods in the previous news above, but let's go into more detail on specifics.

Did you know that you earn a 500 Fellowship Award the first time you complete a quest with a hero? With 12 current heroes, that means you can earn 6000 Fellowship just by completing any individual quest with each Hero. To see what heroes you've completed in any given quest, just click on the Hall of Heroes Coin on the Rewards Tab.

Each time you complete a quest, you gain a reward, but the first three times you gain a special bonus beyond Fellowship.

The first time you complete a quest, you will earn a special card as a reward for its completion. You earn two of this card in your vault, fully unlocked for you to use. The exact card for each quest is outlined when you click on the First coin in the Rewards Tab.

The second time you complete the same quest, you will earn a special Player Avatar for you to use in both Single and Multi Player sessions. The avatar you earn is typically based on a character that appears in the quest and once earned, will appear in the Vault menu, fully unlocked.

The third time you complete the same quest, you will earn a special Trophy Avatar that depicts one of the enemies you encountered during the quest that you may use as your Avatar in both Single and Multi Player sessions. Just like for Player Avatars, once earned, the Trophy will appear in the Vault menu, fully unlocked.

There's one other way to earn a new card that you might not know about. When you go to the Hero Detail screen in the Deck menu, you can change your Hero's selected art, but you'll notice a coin above the card on the left marked Hero Reward.

This is the Hero Reward Card, which you earn by completing the Hero challenge. Every Hero has a unique challenge to earn their special Hero card. Simply click the coin to learn what each Hero's Reward card challenge is.
