Lotro Virtue Traits Guide - an Overview

In Lotro, virtue traits provide bonuses to basic character stats, morale, power, defense, and resistances. Most virtue trait bonuses increase as the rank increases. You earn virtue traits and higher ranks by completing deeds. Some virtue trait ranks are available only to specific races after earning a high enough reputation with their faction. You can equip traits when you talk to a bard.
