November 2010 Crafting Changes

Overview

We've been hard at work preparing for the next update and we can hardly wait to share all of the latest crafting goodness with you! This update brings a completely redesigned craft panel, new LOTRO Store items for faster, more convenient crafting, profession improvements for Farmers, and a host of new recipes.

Read on for the full scoop!

New Crafting Panel

The most obvious new feature for crafting in this update is also one of the best: The crafting panel has been completely redesigned! We'll go over the details below, but first, take a gander at this:

Behold the new crafting panel!

Improvements

The size of the panel has been greatly increased, allowing for a larger recipe list on the left and a complete recipe information panel on the right.

The Proficiency and Mastery pages have been combined. We now display all important details for the selected recipe in one location.

The Select Output option (formerly the Multi-output button) now displays your current choice and allows you to navigate both forward and backward through all available choices.
