According to a one-line reference near the end of the just released dev diary on crafting changes (http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdia...eveloper-diary) First Age weapons will now be craftable. Does anyone from the test server know what the required mats will be? I'd love to think that they would keep Symbols as the primary tough-to-acquire mat...but that's probably too good to be true. More likely is a new rare mat will drop from one of the 6-mans - RARELY - much like the once-in-a-blue-moon Symbol drops from the early days of SG.
Can anyone give some real insight on this question?
