Lord of the Rings Online MMO News, Guides, and Features at Ten Ton Hammer

With the Siege of Mirkwood expansion for The Lord of the Rings Online just hours away from launch, Turbine has released a new developer diary detailing changes to the crafting system in Siege of Mirkwood. The latest changes will bring new crafting options for players by adding multi-option recipes and new Legendary Item crafting options.

Siege of Mirkwood introduces a brand new type of recipe that gives crafters more choices when making equipment: the multi-output recipe! By clicking the "Multi-output" button found on the lower-left portion of the crafting panel for some recipes, crafters can choose the item they wish to produce from a list of options (see figures 1-3).
