General Note for all Volume 1 Changes We have made massive changes to the first Volume of The Lord of the Rings Online Epic Story. The changes are limited to all content related to The Shadows of Angmar and only The Shadows of Angmar. An upcoming developer diary will detail these changes.
Level 64 Skill Upgrades! (Full details will appear in an upcoming developer diary):
Captain
- Watchful Shield Brother – Adds a boost to maximum morale and a power boost to the toggle effect.
Champion
- True Heroics - Skill applies an additional buff based on the currently active stance.
Hunter
- Beneath Care - Skill restores Power over Time and has no power cost in addition to reducing perceived threat.
Lore-master

Of Special Note
- Hounding Fear has been removed from Landscape and Skirmishes.
- If you are eligible for the Dusky Nimblefoot Goat, you will receive another one in your inventory. If you have converted it to a skill already, all you'll be able to do with it is destroy it. This is to help players who didn't receive their goat because their inventory was too full.
- Characters will be refunded all legacy points on all legendary items when Volume 3 Book 1 goes live.
- Inspired greatness for solo players has been reduced slightly. The effect was overpowered at initial implementation.
It's the little things that count
- Players may now add notes to their friend and ignore lists.
- Quests are being added to the Spring Festival to direct players to ALL festival events, including the Horse Races, the Hedge Maze, the Feast of the Greenfields, and the new event.

This warning was issued on the US forums... "We are aware of an exploit that can allow a player to acquire more skirmish marks than intended. This issue is very easy to track, and any player found using the exploit will have their account immediately banned without appeal. Our GMs will be extra vigilant in monitoring this issue; please remember that the Code of Conduct expressly prohibits exploits. Thank you for your cooperation! " It seems its not the only exploit around, as Kallan found out.... unfortunately at the moment it seems that people can unwitttingly use what the devs deem to be exploits, and then get reprimanded or banned in game. Watch out everyone, if something seems too good to be true it probably is lol! Share to

Useful if not thrilling for a lot of classe! Developer Diary: SoM Skill Upgrades With the decision to place the main focus of the systems work for Siege of Mirkwood™ on our basic combat and item advancement systems, we had to re-evaluate what that would mean for class skills and how changing or adding to them would alter the balance we were looking for with the other changes. Turning too many dials at once can lead to unintended and, very often, unexpected consequences! We knew this overhaul would be necessary to complete the process we began in Moria that ensures the long-term advancement of characters in LOTRO. As a result the decision was made to scale back plans for the classes themselves. We appreciate how this may be disappointing to some of you, though we do hope the overall improvement to combat results in a new and rewarding gameplay experience. Despite this, each class is getting either a new skill or skill upgrade at level 62. For the most part these new skills are focused on utility rather than combat. With all that said let’s look at the skill upgrades coming in Siege of Mirkwood! Share to
