covered fields and hills. Learn more about Wilermore by watching our
Video Dev Diary.

tree, with boost and skills tailored to each role. For more details,

Lalia’s Market Now Open in Bree-town!
-
Lalia, daughter of Bob who works at the
Prancing Pony, gained a certain level of notoriety amongst adventurers
after an incident she had in the Barrow-downs. However, her wandering
days are now behind her, and she’s opened her very own shop in her
adopted city. As those who’ve met Lalia before know, she’s always
had an appreciation of the value of a good piece of clothing. Learn
more about Lalia’s market .
Hobbit Gifts
-
Once a day, every day, players will get
a new alert letting you know that you have received a special Silver
Hobbit Present. Once a week, VIP players will receive an additional
alert letting you know you have received a special Gold Hobbit Present.
Clicking below the Silver Present or the Gold Present will display the
reward you've gotten and other rewards you could have won. Gold Hobbit
Presents offer a greater chance of getting the top level gifts. After
free rolls are used, all players can use Mithril Coins to roll for
either more Silver Hobbit Presents or Gold Hobbit Presents. Read the
FAQ for more information.
Alert space changes
-
The new Alerts Panel is intended to
allow you to see all of your alerts at one time. This includes most of
your alerts: accomplishments, reputation, mail, etc. Hobbit Gifts,
dynamic layer status, pending loot and connection status icons will
all be separate from this panel. Connection status is now its own
element that can moved around separately from all alerts.

further in advance and adds the option to pay with Mithril Coins.
