Yes, that jewelry is also available to raiders and landscapers are not getting it exclusively for themselves, but it is absurd that "walk to this flower" content gives something that is better than what is gated behind a hard t2c content. What for? To kill the North Ithilien Hawk faster when getting more flowers?
Nobody is saying non-raiders shouldn't have good gear, but at least have the decency to put it a few levels bellow the raiding one.

People, i don't understand y'all are acting as if the t2c throne jewelry was the only worthwhile thing in there. There's still the best essence armour in game (And it better frigging stay that way until next level cap at least!)
AND on TOP of the armour it has the best hunter books, captain banners, LM stickpins, Champion & Gaurdian bows, Rk-Riflers in game. period. and probably for a long time.

My point is those of you who are complaining that they took away the gear benefit of doing the raid are clearly incorrect.

Instead, I try to think of it this way:
The raiders got to use 3 slot jewelry months in advance of the pve ppl. that's special treatment for us right there.
Moreover, now everyone can get the flower armour as a new baseline - like it was back with nadhin armour at 100 cap.
players use the baseline to be able to complete Osgiliath, Pelennor, and Throne for even better and customized gear.

It is a truly sublime and perfect setup, except for the FI Jewelry vs flower jewelry debate. I've asked dozen of people and its split right down the middle. ppl say that the flower is better if you're trying to stack morale or mastery, but that featured is better for t2c. Can anyone comment on this?

Also, Cordovan: Wild Ithilien essence included? When will they be ready?! just a yes/no on by the end of the year or come u19.2 or u19.1 hotfix will do
