The skirmish system is probably the biggest addition to LotRO that comes with the Siege of Mirkwood expansion. The size of the adition is reflected in the number of developer diaries that have been written on the system, there are no less than six! Given the amount of developer coverage of this major game mechanic there has been relativity little player comment, but most comments seem to suggest that they are well worth doing! 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.

With the lifting of the NDA of the Siege of Mikwood beta players earlier in the week there has been a release of new information about the expansion from both players and Turbine as they have published a number of developer diaries. I’m updating the site this weekend with links and summaries of the information I’ve found most interesting, I’m aiming to avoid too many spoilers (so you won’t find information about the story line here) but you will find information about the new game mechanics including changes to radiance. I’ve split the stories by topic and made sure that the revealing information is not shown above the break in posts. So be warned, if you want to keep the changes as a surprise don’t read the whole story!
