    Thumbs up New Lorebook

    I haven't had too much time to explore it, but I'm enjoying the new Lorebook format. quite a bit. I'm especially glad that the menus are drop-down now, so that they don't cause unnecessary javascript lag.

    mmm.. I'm seeing MoM content in there. Sweet....

    I'm having a bit harder time finding things than I used to, but that's just a matter of where buttons have moved to.

    Yes, very nice work and much appreciated. I enjoy the game immensely, but these additional bonuses are nice to have.

    Re: New Lorebook

    Did anybody actually test this with firefox ?

    The layout seems completely broken - with the content appearing below the left hand menus.

    Edit: turned of Java, leaving javascript enabled and it seems much better.

    No, the category is just a bit buried at the moment. Still bubbling some things up to the top to be a bit more visible. Keep you eye on this thread for more info.

    ok will wait, yeah figured that perhaps patience jumped the gun with the post as most of the links listed go to empty pages. I was hoping it was just a , "sorry nope we only work with IE situation", will happily wait.

    thanks for the reply

    I'd love to access trat sets. For now there was only Traits search, but no "Sets" category. That is while Lorebook was accessible .

    Yes, the trait sets got lost along the way. We're working on getting them in early next week. Stay tuned...

    Still down. But before it was down, I had a couple issues. I could search for javelins and warden shields, but there were no item categories for them. Also, the crafted recipes for those new items had no end product tooltips, only the recipe itself. So you could see what you needed to make them, but not what they made. The pages for the crafted items themselves were blank.

    When the Lorebook is back up, please provide URLs to examples for each issue you are seeing. We'll check them out and see if we can address them.

    Crafted recipe:
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/index.php/...e_Elven_Knight

    But no info on the crafted products:
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/index.php/...e_Elven_Knight
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/index.php/...e_Elven_Knight

    Also, I can't provide a link, but there are still no categories in the drop-down menu for Warden's Shields (under Shields), Javelins (under Ranged Weapons), or Rune-stones (under Two-handed Weapons).

    Re: New Lorebook

    I'll look into this further.

    Also, I can't provide a link, but there are still no categories in the drop-down menu for Warden's Shields (under Shields), Javelins (under Ranged Weapons), or Rune-stones (under Two-handed Weapons).
    I have linked menu items directly to the category pages for these until I can get the proper advanced search hooks in place. This will at least get something in place for this info.

    Stay tuned!

    the advanced search for recipes has check boxes for tiers 1-5 but not 6:
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Speci...ch?type=recipe

    the lorebook entries for crafting guild recipes do not have any indication that they are guild only. Also, they don't list the cooldown on the recipe use: (for example)
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/index.php/...uperior_Lembas
    or here http://lorebook.lotro.com/index.php/..._Lembas_Recipe

    related to the above, other rep gated recipes don't list that (either for the recipe or for the item use - unless these have changed in Moria): (for example)
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/index.php/...jokoira_Armour
    or here http://lorebook.lotro.com/index.php/..._Armour_Recipe

    too many to link, but many many t6 crafting recipes list mats and end products but do not have a tooltip to display the information for the item: (for example)
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/index.php/...-rose_Necklace

    Re: New Lorebook

    One beef I still have with the lorebook, that I had hoped would be changed in the new lorebook, is the lack of separation between jewellry pieces. Earrings, necklaces, pocket items, bracelets, and rings are still just being clumped into the 'Jewellry' category instead of being separated out into their own sub-categories. It doesn't seem like it would be all that difficult to set up separate tables for these; the current implementation is madness to try and search through!

    Are there any plans to change this?

    OK; trait sets are finally in. Apologies for the wait; you'll find a link in the menu to them "Game Info >>> Character Attributes >>> Trait Sets" or just jump to them now.

    Re: New Lorebook

    I can't speak for the other professions but, for Weaponsmith at least, the only recipes/tooltips I can find on the lorebook for Tier 6 are the Guild rewards (i.e. legendary items and the Peerless Thain's ensured-crit recipies). There's nothing I can find for the Warrior's, Sellsword's, Thain's etc. weapons that you either get just from opening up Tier 6 or that you track down from drops.

    Can you provide some specific names of recipes that you aren't seeing. It will help us track things down.

    If it is Tier 6 and a weapon (and not a crafted legendary item), it is not there. This includes:

    "Sellsword's _____"
    "Warrior's ______"
    "Defender's _____"
    "Thain's _____"

    where "_____" = Axe, Sword, Mace, Dagger, Headsman's Axe, Greatsword, or Halberd.

    It is of note that there ARE "Peerless Thain's ____" recipes, but these are the special rep reward ones, not the standard ones. I've found that Woodworker is missing all of it's non-legendary Tier 6 weapons also, but I don't have a woodworker myself so I couldn't tell you the missing item names.

    The same is KIND of true of the Tier 6 jewelry. The recipes are there, in this case, but there is no information about the items they produce (i.e. no tooltips). This includes:

    "Aquamarine ____"
    "Dawn-Rose _____"
    "Khazad-copper _____"
    "Khazad-gold ____"

    where "_____" = Bracelet, Earring, Rune-stone, Necklace, or Ring.

    None of the Item Experience runes are in the lore book, or at least I could not fund them. I searched for "Faded Heritage Rune" with no luck.

    Re: New Lorebook

    It seems like the stats for a lot of items are off a little. Some examples are Cururist and Amber Ring:

    http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Weapon:Cururist - this should be 47.0 dps rather than 40.6

    http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Item:Amber_Ring - the +36 will and vit should be +38

    Those are two off the top of my head, but I'm sure nearly everything I've looked up has been "off" a little like these.
