I receive a lot of questions on traits, and this is the best guide available online. If anyone still has questions about where and how, please don't hesitate to ask!

Lord of the Rings Online Traits Compendium

LOTRO has a interesting way to create some character individuality. This is by the use of traits, which are gained from serveral methods. These are: Race, Class, Legendary and Virtue. Gaining traits are done differently for each but all are equiped by visiting a bard in Middle Earth.

Traits are gained as follows:

Race: Gained from killing creatures that have racial hatreds.
Class: Gained from using Skills/Spells of you chosen class.
Virtues: Gained through exploration of Middle Earth or Purging the lands of foul creatures.
Legendary: These are gained through the location of Books and pages.
