If you were to describe Mordor by comparing it to any old area of Middle-Earth, it wouldn’t do it justice. The area is huge, you can find these evil-looking statues all around and sometimes it’s a little bit of a maze. So, the best way to compare it would be to say that it’s a combination of Rohan and Angmar, but on a much larger scale. And while this is only the first public test build and I am aware that there will be changes, I do have some things I want to point out.<\/p>\n

You can’t use any old armour sets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably the first thing you will notice once you log in the U21 is the message that certain gear has been unslotted because you do not meet the requirements. These requirements are basically level of the gear + 10. So, if you are using a level 75 ToO set for a captain to get the Oathbrakers shame reset, you can only use it untill level 85. It’s the same for hunters using Erebor set, etc. Even though my warden has become the first character I gear it is only my “second main”. The first character was my captain so I will always have some love for it. It is a shame to see that we are robbed of having a good set bonus from lower levels while we are not able to get it on the level cap. I would have gladly used a Throne set for “Oathie reset”, but there isn’t any. Instead there are some sets which are next to useless. The only one I use on my captain is the yellow set. And you could even do without that one also, as it’s not that special. Captains have been complaining and suggesting some fixes to this since the raid has come out and there has not been any sign of anyone listening to it. And I can guarantee that we do not want to use a level 75 set. I would rather have more stats, more armour, everything. But we don’t have that option. The only still untested option is the Osgiliath armour. The question only remains how will it be scaled.<\/p>\n

How to enter Mordor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just to save you asking the \/World, you will need to go to where the book left of. Go to Slag Hills, take the mount near Aragorn and do some short quests there. Leave the area, go back to Slag Hills and you can ride… khm, no… You can now simply walk into Mordor through the destroyed gate.<\/p>\n
