This expansion brings you back to King's Gondor, through the Shield Isles and on to the City of Umbar!
For this first Beta, content (quests, deeds, Reputation and travel routes) is available for these regions.

• King's Gondor West: Dor-en-ernil, Ringlo Vale, Lamedon, Blackroot Vale & Belfalas
  • Reputation: The Renewal of Gondor

  • Reputation: The Renewal of Gondor
  • Feedback Thread
• Shield Isles

  • While you can reach the City, content for this area will be available in a future U38 Beta!

*Your journey begins in the town of Linhir, in Dor-en-ernil in King's Gondor.
*The Epic Story 'The Song of Waves and Wind' is not available for Preview. 

Known Issues:

• Some quest rewards are not fully implemented.*
• Some travel routes are not reaching their destinations.
• Some areas are not opening to the correct Region Map.
• Some Region Maps are placeholder.
• World Maps are not yet available.
• Landscape Crafting Nodes may have placeholder components.
• Player morale is intended to be fully restored on login or when entering/leaving instances. There is currently an issue with regeneration, if your morale becomes stuck please equip or re-equip an item that grants +vitality.

*Because quest rewards/crafting are not fully implemented, you might find you are out-leveling your gear. To get level specific gear to continue on your adventures, visit the E&G Tavern and speak to Svenson.

• The 'Tavern: Adventurer's Gear' Barter profile contains 18 picker boxes that will scale with your character from level 141-150.
• Get some Embers from Dust (across the tavern near the Craft Hall door) to barter for this gear
• There is display issue with these packages that they will show as 131-140 on the Vendor. They will appear properly once purchased.

Crafting

​

Vocations have been removed in favor of allowing players to train professions individually. Existing professions should not be impacted by these changes. Players will retain currently trained professions, as well as any progress and guild memberships associated with those professions. See a Profession Trainer to train a new profession or swap an existing profession.

NOTE: Due to some unexpected setbacks, Tier 15 Umbari Crafting is not yet available, and will be opening in a future U38 Beta!

Main Stat Changes

The benefits granted to any given class from Agility, Fate, Might, Vitality, and Will have all been updated to help balance classes and itemization.
The primary stat for each class (Agility/Might/Will) should still provide the most benefit for the class, but the other two stats should still be appealing for some roles available to the class.

With the changes to all classes in the utility of Agility, Might, and Will, stats on the following items have been adjusted accordingly:
Leather Riding Leggings, Dorchol, Earring of the Dead City, Fateful Gundabad Earring, Flowing Silver Stone, Flowing Silver Stone of the Tortoise, and the Fleet Merchant's Earring

Gear Essence Slotting

As of U38 gear may feature a Primary essence slot, a Vital essence slot, and regular essence slots.

• A Primary essence slot can accept 'Main Stat' essences, allowing you to adapt a piece of gear to provide Might, Agility, or Will as needed to suit your build. If present, it will generally be replacing the existing main stat on a gear piece.
  • The goal of the Primary slot is to make it possible for players to easily customize gear to use whatever mainstat they feel they require to suit their build, regardless of armor type.
• A Vital essence slot can accept Vitality, Fate, Morale, or Power affecting essences. If present it will usually be replacing the Vitality score on a gear piece.
  • The goal of the Vital slot is to allow flexibility in how players weigh vitality and power outlays, while also limiting Vitality stacking - it also ensures that Beornings in particular should never be stuck with Power related stats they cannot use.
• Regular essence slots accept all the standard gear Essences. Their frequency/number should be similar to current gear.

Essence Values

• The ICP cost per Essence slot, and the average score value of the essences are being reduced somewhat. This means that more of the raw value of the gear will appear on its inherent stats, and somewhat less on its essences.

Critical Rating

• The Critical Ratings of gear/traits/effects have been increased.
• The cap on Critical Rating increased.
• Critical Magnitude cap was reduced.
• This has the effect of making it a little more difficult to achieve the Critial Chance cap, but will increase player's Dev Crit, and Crit Magnitude rates and make capping those easier if you choose to pursue that goal.

Armor Values

• Base armor values on gear in the Lvl 150 band will be somewhat lower than prior ones, as heavy armor characters in particular could quickly cap their Physical Mitigation even at modest gearing levels.
• Shields have been dinged more than the rest of the gear, as they had a particularly high value - though shield tanks should be able to ultimately cap their physical mitigation values on armor alone, it will be at a significantly higher average ilevel.
