Codemasters have launched a scavenger hunt, and Renkosi’s guide is taking part.
A lonely hobbit farmer is planning is party, but he has lost all his food! Well typical hobbit if you ask me, but apparently he sent some of it to me for safe keeping. Some might say that sending food to a young dwarf for safe keeping is an unwise move, but I’ve not eaten it (I promise). The trouble is I’ve forgotten where I’ve put it and I have a hot date with a hoard of orcs, so if you get a chance do look for it, you might find a few clues here in my journal.
If you do find it, or at least a clue can you send the food to the farmer directly by the quick post on my behalf? I’m told that there maybe a reward if you can find all the food.

I’ll start by giving you a breakdown of the diaries:
Highlights and links to screen shots and videos of the skirmishes and rewards follow the break.

Sadly there is no new crafting tier, but there are new recipes from the elves in Mirkwood. The new recipes have similar statistics to those available in Lothlorien but have less requirements (no Mithril flake required) and are multi not single use. The recipes also have multiple output options allowing them to be customised for different classes.
