Compendium is a Quest, Deed, Crafting and Item database Addon for Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO). It is meant to supplement the leveling process by making finding of quests, mobs, and items easier.

Not sure what the prerequisites to a quest chain are? Not sure where to go for quests that are near your level? Looking for direction on a quest that is elluding you? Through the in-game Compendium window, users can search and filter for quests and easily access information. No more alt tabbing!

Item database with over 50,000+ items!

Crafting database with 2900+ recipes!

Deed database with 1100+ deeds!

The long-term vision is to have the player base of Lotro submit content for Compendium in the way of corrections, comments, coordinates, missing information, etc. In future releases, there will be a method for players to submit these changes.
