Lord Of The Rings Online’s Rangers And Ruins Update Adds New Zone, Dwarven Housing, And More
Middle-Earth just got a little bit bigger withLord of the Rings Online’s latest game update – Update 32: Rangers and Ruins. Technically, the size of the world itself remains the same but Standing Stone Games did open up a new zone called the Angle of Mitheithel for mid-level players to explore.
“Stretching south from the Trollshaws to the junction of the Bruinen and Mitheithel rivers is a wild land of rocky hills and deep pine-woods, and a graveyard of ancient kingdoms. The ruins of Elves and Men alike crumble among the trees, and the Rangers steal through the shadows of the trees, ever watchful, carrying out secret assignments as the north grows more dangerous by the day. The Angle of Mitheithel is a new area for levels 40 to 45.”
The update also introduces premium housing for the Dwarves of Erebor, which can be found in the Great Hall under the Lonely Mountain, as well as a Legendary Items Reward Track for players level 45 and above.
“As you play the game and collect Item XP it'll progress the track throughout the season, and if you get all the way to the end there is a repeatable goal for more rewards! We'll refresh the track every season, and the frequency, drop rate, and kind of rewards will change over time. The Legendary Items Reward Track is Account-based, so all of your characters on each world will contribute to the Rewards track, and you can select the rewards on whatever character you prefer.”
The game’s newest class, the Brawler, has also been slightly buffed with the latest update. Patch details can be found on the Lord of the Rings Online official site.
