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!
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You can begin to search for birds using your Birding Action button.
  4. 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
  5. For each time you successfully 'spot' a bird you will open yourself up to finding a rarer bird from that region.
  6. 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.
  7. Each bird you have successfully spotted will be recorded in the Birding section of your Collections Panel, so go out and spot them all!
