Cari and Laynor talk about Update 12.2, and stat tomes all while watching Layanor take down one of the roving threats in Angmar. Hint: It’s a really tall troll that looks like a waggon from the back.

Of Special Note

New Roving Threats

As the War of the Ring intensifies, new threats have come to Middle-earth! Powerful servants of the Enemy can now be found in Angmar, Forochel, Western Gondor, and the Misty Mountains. For those bold enough to stand against these foes, new and unique rewards can be obtained by claiming the brands they bear.

Note: The existing Roving Threats of Central Gondor will also drop these brands.

Roving threats: Weapon rewards received via barter are now bind on Acquire.

Release Notes

General

• 
  
• The Full Screen checkbox in Graphics Options has been replaced by the Screen Mode dropdown, from which you can select Windowed, Full Screen, and, in Windows builds, Full Screen (Windowed). The latter option runs the game in a borderless window at desktop resolution.
  
• A Reflecting Pool for Central Gondor can now be found in the town of Linhir, and it contains several instances from the region as well as ‘Even In Darkness.
  
• Some phantom mapnotes have been removed in order to cut down on confusion. Nothing to see here!
  
• Mathoms and Well-kept Mathoms can now be used at level 20 and higher.
  
• Players who are sitting, lying down, or fainted will no longer stand up upon entering AFK state.
  
• A New Reflecting Pool for West Gondor added to the Court of the Prince in Dol Amroth Many instances added to the West Gondor Reflecting Pools found near Morlad and in Dol Amroth
  
• When accepting quests, there’s a new indicator that shows you when the quest being picked up is repeatable.
  
• Archet – Intro: The Wolves of the Ruins – Blackwold Wolf-Master no longer freezes if you try talking to him before he finishes his drama
  
• Ered Luin: Gondamon – Kolskegg the Healer is now Pall the Healer as to be confused with Kolskegg Gemcounter.
  
• Lone-lands – Quest: Iron-jaws / Deed: Warg Slayer – A couple of warg dens have been added to the Lonelands to make finding wargs easier
  
• Located a possible culprit for unexpected shallow-water dismounts. Please continue to inform us of situations/locations where you were improperly dismounted from a Warsteed or regular Mount — but hopefully now you won’t have to!
  
• Skirmish-specific stat breakdowns on the Skirmish Panel are sorted alphabetically by Skirmish name rather than randomly.
  
• Additional physics work for Captain Noreth, who should now be even less likely to fall through her boat.
  
• Several of the NPCs in Tur Morva were mistaking Beornings for Hobbits. They’ve been given some instructional charts and diagrams and should now be able to tell the difference. The hairy toes were throwing them off.
  
• The Clan Hunters around Aughaire were confused and believed they could drop pages for Beorning class books. They have been told otherwise, and they (and you!) should now be less confused.
  
• Players who used Gift of the Valar can now pick up the quest “A Tortured Mind” in the Entwash Vale
