The second build of testing for Update 14 has arrived, and they have their own set of patch notes to match. As usual I will cherry-pick the more interesting or notable ones to me and post them below. Be sure to check out the link for the full set of changes!
- The West Gondor Quest Pack has been made available to the LOTRO Store. Premium and Free to Play subscriptions will need to purchase this quest pack to gain access to the new content (unlike Beta 1 when we had unlocked the region for you). Epic Book Volume 4 is open to all characters regardless of subscription status. Note by Ethelos – The current Turbine Point price for West Gondor is 795TP. This is subject to change.
- The Welcome Back Weekend effects have been updated to now grant a % bonus to Experience Gain on Monster Kills, Crafting, Quest Completions, Legendary Item and Mounted Combat XP. Updated the effect description.
- Lootboxes now contain a “Pick a Mount” box which allows you to select one of over 25 different mounts, including the Lootbox exclusive Red Painted Skeletal Steed.
There have been a substantial amount of polish changes to Bullroarer. The towns of West Gondor are more lively and populated than before, numerous textures and landscape objects have been updated. The new armour sets for level 100 have also gotten their new cosmetic appearances, which Cithryth kind enough to send in via screnshots. They will be shown below with a few other interesting things I found while there.
Light Armour Set
Medium Armour Set

Why Seafoam for Dol Amroth’s colors? They are blue with white swans. Not blue-green.
In a word… exciting
