Gameplay

• Based on player feedback we’ve rearranged the level spacing between our four gradients of weapons, enabling our highest tier of weapons to gain a larger slice of the DPS pie.
• Boss monsters in Moria are now immune to slows. This does not include the Hunter Quick Shot effect while in strength stance.

Skills/Classes

Burglar

• Changed the tooltip on the Thrill-seeker’s Gloves to read “-50% Search Speed.” The previous tooltip indicated that the gloves would actually increase search speed, which was incorrect.

Captain

• Power Recovery from the Blade of Elendil/Improved Defensive Strike has been reduced. The Threat generated by Threatening Shout has been increased.

Guardian

• Guardian’s Threat will no longer cause a 5 second delay where the Guardian cannot use skills or attack.

Traits/Titles/Deeds

• All quests that were ticking up the Ered Luin quest deed in the new tutorial have been fixed to no longer advance the deed.
• Trout Master can now be advanced while in a raid
• We have had a long discussion about genealogy with the Uruks and explained to them that they are orcs. After some roaring and a few lost heads they relented and Uruks will now count for killing Orc-Kind in the accomplishment “Soldiers of the Enemy”

User Interface

• Only usable legendary items will appear in the list of slottable items when slotting items from the Legendary Items panel.
• LI Titles will now appear correctly on your weapons.
• Additional fixes to Quest Guide markers for Epic Volumes I and II.
• More UIs can be skinned, and several fixes have been made.

Chat/Social

• Item chat links for Item Advancement items will now display the item’s original name, not the custom name on it. The tooltip for the item link will still contain the player-chosen name however. This will prevent some of the more… “creative” names being linked on the chat channels (we saw you, owner of [Biggus Stickus]!

Raids and Instances

Dark Delvings

• The monsters have learned and they now come prepared!

The Battle of Lorien

• The special items intended for use within ‘The Battle of Lórien’ will become usable after you have commanded the Elves to defend the Passes. The items are also no longer BoA, so you can distribute them throughout your Fellowship as you see fit. As a special bonus, we also corrected some typos!

Crafting

Woodworking

• The Woodworker’s Guild Reward Vendor now sells the recipe for Crafted Burglar’s Club of the Third Age.

Metalsmith

• Reward recipes for Warden shields have been added to the Metalsmith’s Guild reward vendor.

Tailor

• New Supreme Burglar’s signal recipes can now be found in treasure.

NPCs

• Boromir somehow cloned himself and could be found in multiple locations throughout Lothlórien. We’ve informed him that this is a little creepy and taken away his doppelganger privileges.

Items

• Strong traps will now be affected properly by root curing potions and diminishing returns in PvMP. The Reaver’s Charge skills will also now block the root from the trap correctly.

Graphics/Animation/FX

• Dwarf neck on robe was mapped incorrectly. This has been fixed.
• Fixed the interaction between emotes /Smoke1 and /Liedown. Because smoking is bad. Especially in bed.

Quests

• Everybody’s pathing in Volume 2 Book7 Chapter 3, ‘Sons of Leaf and Stone,’ should now be better.
• Volume 1 Book 15 Chapter 12 – a quest ring will now appear above the NPC that will teleport you out of the instance.
