Virtues
Virtues are a type of trait that increase specific attributes. Each virtue shifts 3 values: a primary, secondary, and tertiary. Each virtue is obtained by performing various deeds around the world so, as you progress through your levels, you will obtain virtue traits that may be slotted to gain the benefits of their effects.
If you look at your character information in the game, you can see that there are 10 ranks shown for each virtue. Not all 10 ranks are available within the game at this time and different virtues have different maximum ranks. The tables below provide information on the various virtues, the effects they provide, and the current maximum rank available for each one.
Reputation Virtue Enhancements
With the release of book 11, several reputation centers were put in the game allowing players to earn reputation based rewards with the various factions. Among the rewards are new items for the four races: racially specific rewards, called Awards, that grant a new racial trait which will increase 3 specific virtues by 1 rank for that character.
The 4 races each have their own racial award and may currently only use the award for their race. Here is a table showing the 4 races and their award information:
| Race | Reputation Center | Rep. Level Needed | Award Name | Virtue #1 | Virtue #2 | Virtue #3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thorin's Hall | Friend | Award of Dwarf Virtue | Fidelity | Honesty | Loyalty | |
| Elves of Rivendell | Friend | Award of Elven Virtue | Charity | Patience | Wisdom | |
| Mathom Society (Shire) | Friend | Award of Hobbit Virtue | Empathy | Honesty | Idealism | |
| Men of Bree | Friend | Award of Men Virtue | Confidence | Justice | Patience |

- Light green = minor effect; dark green = significant effect.
- An X inside a box indicates the effect gains in strength as you attain higher ranks in the virtue. An O indicates that the effect only gets stronger once (usually around rank 3 or 4) as you attain multiple ranks in the virtue. In a few cases, the effect never gets stronger at all.
- Each virtue has three effects. Usually the effects are an increase in rate of morale regeneration or Power Regeneration, an increased resistance to a type of damage, and a bonus to a stat. Sometimes the virtue provides two increases to resistance.
There are no virtues which provide a bonus to the regeneration of power while the player is in combat.
