Introduction

Exciting new features abound in The Lord of the Rings Online™: Mines of Moria™ release. Among them is the introduction of Legendary Items (LI), which presents a great opportunity for customizing your character by customizing one-of-a-kind Legendary Items that will be the envy of the other players.

In Forging Legendary Items, Part 1, we offered an overview of the new Item Advancement system, and how to take things found in the depths of Moria and transform them into powerful, celebrated weapons your characters can use to carve their way across the face of Middle-earth.

Forging Legendary Items, Part 1

Here, we’ll further explore how to forge these potent items, and how to best tailor them to a character’s chosen class.

Beginning in Volume 2, Book 1, your hero is able to identify and equip Legendary Items. Once these items are bound to a character, they earn experience and gain wondrous abilities. The possible combination of powers—called Legacies and Relics—are in the order of billions. When you consider that even if two items had identical Legacies and Relics, the different ways Legend Points can be spent to upgrade the rank of the Legacies all but ensure the uniqueness of Legendary Items.
