Legendary Items are getting another pass with the Siege of Mirkwood digital expansion for The Lord of the Rings Online. This week Turbine released a new developer diary to explain what kind of changes are being implemented and the reason behind their decision to update the Legendary Item system function that went live with the Mines of Moria expansion.

One of the primary issues with the system is that players have to invest a large amount of time before knowing that a particular Legendary Item is “good.” We have changed the identification and reforge process to front load the system a bit more. The initial legacies placed on the Legendary Item (LI) at identification are pulled from only the “best” legacies. This ensures the LI has some desirable legacies and the player can make a good guess whether that LI is worthwhile before spending time leveling it.
