The following items are on sale from April 6th – 12th. Below you will find the sale listings as well as our recommendation on purchasing.

Free Samples of the Week

We have two free samples this week!

freesample_041212_en

These two items have the same effect but for opposing factions of monster play. The monster’s use the crumbling brand and the free players use the crumbling insignia. Consuming this item will make you immune to daze, stun, knockdown, root, slow, silence, disarm and fear effects for 1 minute. If currently afflicted by one of those debilitating attacks, using the item will remove the effect and then add the immunity timer. These  items can only be used in the Ettenmoors and require a minimum level of 40.

Crumbling Brand Coupon Code: 967RDT  (Monster Players)
Crumbling Insignia Coupon Code: 569TGE (Free Peoples Players)

Weekly Store Sale

Expansion Quests: Isengard

Over 375 quests and over 40 deeds for levels 65-75. The Grey Company has departed from Enedwaith and entered Dunland proper on their continuing journey to Rohan, where they seek their chieftain Aragorn. The Rangers work to gain the friendship of the Dunlending clans and thwart Saruman’s war-building efforts. The mysterious Falcon-clan offers their services to help break the muster of the combined Dunlending armies at Wulf’s Cleft, but can they be trusted? And in the Heathfells, the forces of Théodred, Prince of Rohan, stand firm at the Ford of Isen, ready to repel the Dunlending threat, all but oblivious to the storm brewing to the north within the Ring of Isengard. Join the Grey Company and Théodred’s Riders as they make a desperate stand against the White hand of Saruman.

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: Content on sale will almost always get a thumbs up. I can’t even think of an instance when it wouldn’t get a thumbs up.

Quests means just that. You are only purchasing the quests. This does not include the Isengard instances, Draigoch’s Lair raid or the Skirmish Trait Max Rank. Find out more information on the difference between buying in a bundle and buying piece by piece in this article.


 

+5,000 Enhanced Reputation Supply

Gain a bonus to all earned faction reputation until a total of 5,000 bonus reputation has been added. This bonus does not have a time limit, and only expires when the 5,000 bonus reputation points have been depleted.

Store Location: Buffs & Boosts → Advancement → Reputation
Levels: All
225
180

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: These are one of those convenience items that gives you a shortcut without the grind. These get a meh simply because it’s not necessary. You can get through the normal in-game methods.

Legacies

Customize your Legendary Items the way that you want! Replace legacies with ones that are more appropriate to your needs. When you have the right legacies in your Legendary Items, you’ll be able to deal more damage, heal more effectively, generate higher threat, and more!

Store Location: Goods & Services → Legendary Items → Legacies
Levels: 50+
195-795
156-636

CSTM RECOMMENDATION: Legacies are cheaper and easier to just obtain in game. Yes, this allows you to select the item you want and I can see the temptation of a short cut so if that’s what you want go for it. We suggest having a few spare legendary items you keep to  “harvest” legacies from. They just need to be level 30 to pull the legacy off of.

    ./roar at the brands being free samples in the store. Its incredibly annoying when somebody uses one of these to charge away from combat to safety.

    Possibly not quite as annoying as being cc’d up the wazoo. Both sides can use a version so it balances out. Free samples just one item usually so give it a minute and bring on the pain again.

    Never realised that the isen qp was so expensive in the store before now but at least it coincides with the bonus tp sale.

      While both sides can use the brands they are vary annoying to f2p/premium players who don’t have a billion points to spend.

    those brands/insignias shouldn’t even be in the store and have no place in pvp. won’t be touching those, even when free. it’d be nice if someday turbine got a clue about pvp.
