Newbie f2p questions

1. I haven't played LotR Online, but I looked up minstrel and there isn't really any jobs except maybe BRD that fit that. I would recommend that you unlock them all and use them in palace of the dead* to try them out as they would be played at endgame.

2/3. Date of birth and deity have negligible effects on your stats, they don't matter.

4. Unsure if you can join LSs or FCs, but other than that I don't think you can. The reason for this is to stop RMT from using free accounts to spam.

5. THM likes weaver and carpenter for gear, and all jobs like alchemist and culinarian for food and potions.

6. Not exactly, but the market board works like that. Other than the market board there is a direct trade system (which you can use to trade gil).

7. There is a glamour system which you can unlock where you use glamour prisms to change the appearance of individual gear pieces.


*Palace of the dead is a piece of content unlocked at level 15 in south shroud that does not adhere to the levelling system outside the dungeon, instead you start at level 1 and as you go through the dungeon you can level up to 60 in a couple of hours (this does not persist outside of the dungeon).
