Virtues
Virtues are a type of trait that increase specific attributes and resistances. Each virtue shifts 3 values; a primary, secondary and tertiary and they are broken into ranks of effect. 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 from performing the various deeds. The tables below provide information on the various virtues, what 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 |
