Well I'll see if I can get my current profile pics of Eradan and Farin up for all of my fellow gamers to gaze at.![]()
Two pics of my most recent layout of Eradon

Although he'll look much better when I finally find a second sword to match the one in his left hand

I would say that almost every item has been mithril stacked to the max. There is a 'limit' (that would be 4-5 mithril upgrades on each item). Once you pass the 3000 armor point, I think, you are basically untouchable. U could go through any boss battle, get up and get a glass of water/ use the bathroom/ reply to several texts, and your character would still be very well off.
I took a low quality picture of Andriel with my mobile phone a while back. I was amazed to see that the AI character had actually blinked as I took the photo![]()

All right then definitely time for me to join the crew and get to stacking my armor, bow, and two-handed swords for Eradan. since I usually play as him!![]()
"Tall as the sea-kings of old, he stood above all that were near; ancient of days he seemed and yet in the flower of manhood; and wisdom sat upon his brow, and strength and healing were in his hands, and a light was about him." Return of the King; Chapter 5, Book 6, The Steward and the King
Ok, not to sound to stupid but what is everyone refferring to when they talk about stacking? I'm at the Mirkwood level, and my "skills" are at best in the mid twenties. Is this about average for a first playthrough, or am I doing something wrong?
Once per playthrough, you can apply mithril runes to a weapon or piece of armor by completing the appropriate side quest. The bonuses imparted by these runes are retained in all subsequent playthroughs, which means that after several playthroughs, it is possible to "stack" multiple mithril upgrades to the same piece of equipment, eventually yielding some very impressive cumulative effects. For example, I currently have an armor chestpiece that grants a 900 point bonus to my armor score and has 30,000% reduced wear (this represents six stacked mithril upgrades).
Ah, gotcha. Thanks!
