LOTRO Dev Diary Discusses Itemization Changes

Itemization is getting an overhaul in Lord of the Rings Online's Rise of Isengard expansion, which launches Sept. 27 and is currently undergoing beta testing. According to a new dev blog entry, these changes are being implemented to make players of all types feel like they're making progress in the game. In summary, Rise of Isengard will:

  • …provide more rewards, and those rewards should feel more impactful.
  • …make yellow items more potent, but not more potent than purple ones.
  • …provide solo players with an opportunity to acquire four of their six piece class set.
  • …provide brand new chests in classic instances, scaling raids and skirmish raids that will drop desirable loot.
  • …add a new stat called Finesse that doesn’t function like a content gating stat like Radiance did once upon a time.
