With the launch of The Lord of the Rings Online's newest expansion Siege of Mirkwood drawing closer, Turbine has released a new developer diary explaining legacy pool distribution by class as a followup to their Legendary Items Developer Diary. The latest diary is 10 pages in length and explains the legacy pool changes for each class. A lot of the new changes are aimed at making the system more user friendly and not require players to invest such a large amount of time into an item before they know if it will actually benefit their character or not.
Read the full diary here.As detailed in the Legendary Items Dev Diary, each class, upon the launch of Siege of Mirkwood, will have its legacies divided into two Pools. Pool A contains the all-purpose, greatly desired legacies. These appear upon the initial Legendary Item identification and have a small chance to appear during reforges at level 10, 20 and 30. Pool B legacies are more situational and appear only during reforges at levels 10, 20 and 30.
