Crafting
- Characters that have completed 'Shades in the Swamp' can pick up the next chapter of the Black Book of Mordor from Gandalf in the Beorninghus.
- Chapters 11.1 and 11.2 are available for this Preview.
- If you have not caught up with the Black Book of Mordor, talk to Made of Lions in the Epic Book room in the basement of the Eyes & Guard Tavern. He will complete all the previous Black Book Chapters as well as Shades in the Swamp. You can then talk to DocOctoport in the hallway to port you to Gandalf.
Instances
- Crafting is still in development, but is further along, so please report any issues and post your feedback.
- Crafting Carry-Alls - Auto-gather functionality has been added to the crafting bags. This will gather items as they are acquired (items removed from a Carry-all or a Vault will not be auto-gathered).
Items
- Eithel Gwaur, The Filth-Well
- Gorthad Nur, The Deep-Barrow
- Gath Daeroval, the Shadow-roost
- The Harrowing of Morgul
UI
- Premade Legendary Items are available once again from Tybur in the E&G Tavern basement. Occasionally these items are not showing stats after creation, re-logging the character should fix the issue.
- Legendary Item Legacy Tiers have been increased:
- Increased base legacy max from 63->67
- Increased Other Legacy max from 79->83- The balance between Legendary Weapon DPS and Relic DPS has been tweaked a bit more towards relics, so their effect will be more substantial.
- Runes of Binding, Enchantment, and Striking have had their values adjusted.
- Overall legendary weapon DPS/HPS has been increased at the high end to bring them more closely in line with regular weapons. Monster health has been increased somewhat to compensate.
Miscellaneous
- New UI Settings option "Induction Bar Display." When checked, an induction progress bar will be shown above any character or pet pending an action. This preference is only available when the "Floating Names" preference is on.
BULLROARER ONLY: Eyes & Guard Tavern
- The rewards from hobbit presents have been updated. The same gifts are available regardless of your class or level.
- Power costs were run up too quickly in the 121-130 range. That's been toned down.
- If you are level 120 or above, you can now earn virtues up to rank 65.
- Avon should now bestow the Mounted Combat Experience quests to all characters with the Novice Characteristic.
- Dust will now sell the Flame of Ancalamír.
- Svenson will now accept your Embers of Enchantment in exchange for gear designed for levels 116-120.
- Bobo in the Eyes & Guard tavern should now be more willing to give any character above level 45 his trait point granting quests. Six additional trait point quest skips have been added to his quest: "Trait Points - Much Various, So Wow" which should now grant 23 class trait points total if you have not already completed any of those quests or deeds.
