Epic Instances

While certainly not as challenging as some of our other content, the various Epic instances have suffered for some time from not having any incentive to play them again. How many times have you seen someone looking for a Book 4 group? Well to provide some incentive to replay these instances, we are introducing a series of repeatable quests that direct you into those instances. Players who have never done a particular instance before will be able to group up with those who have and both will be rewarded.

These quests will reward you with a barter item, and with stacks of these items, you can purchase rewards, like consumables, crafting resources, on up to beryl shards and armour pieces from Angmar, Annúminas or Helegrod. These quests, though, are on a weekly timer, so you will only be able to get a limited number of these a week. In addition you will only be able to get one of the armour pieces once a month, so our instance content won't be completely negated by these quests.

Only a limited number of Epic instances will have these repeatable quests. When Book 14 launches, the following instances will be supported:

* Book 4 - Chapter 8
* Book 5 - Chapter 5
* Book 5 - Chapter 8
* Book 7 - Chapter 8
* Book 8 - Chapter 5
* Book 10 - Chapter 14
* Book 12 - Chapter 3
* Book 12 - Chapter 6
* Book 12 - Chapter 9
* Book 13 - Chapter 9
* Book 14 Instances

To receive these quests, you will need to speak to a "Sage of Eriador," who will be found next to the reflecting pool where these instances are found.
