Birding
Please take a look at the new 'Birding' tab on the Collections Panel for a preview and information of all the beautiful birds you will be able to add to your Journal!How to get started in Birding!
- Visit any Hobby Master in Middle-earth to train the Birding hobby.
- Please let us know if you find a Hobby Master that does not offer this option.
- Upon learning the Hobby, you will receive a Basic Birding Kit and 'The Basics of Birding'. Equip your Birding Kit and travel to any regions scouted for birds by Middle-earth Explorers, as explained in document.
- Please note, just like the Fishing Rod the Birding Kit will replace your main hand weapon.
- The 'Birding' skill will train to your Hobby tab. This skill can be placed on your Action Bars.
- You can begin to search for birds using your Birding Action button.
- You will have several opportunities to spot birds with each attempt, represented by different animations:
- First you will call for birds
- You will then scan for birds using the spyglass
- You must press your Birding Action button again when you see the indication that a bird has been spotted
- For each time you successfully 'spot' a bird you will open yourself up to finding a rarer bird from that region.
- Keep looking for birds until you have found all the birds of each region, just be aware that after a while the birds will have grown wary of your presence, and you will need to come back later to be able to spot more birds in that area.
- Each bird you have successfully spotted will be recorded in the Birding section of your Collections Panel, so go out and spot them all!
