Just in case people gloss over the details, it no longer contains the XP Bonus stone, even in the Legendary edition.

So i have a question about the Path of Fellowship Quest Pack we get if we buy the Legendary Version. If i already own Moria and Lothlorien will i still be able to get Eregion and Trollshaws??
Thanks in advance.

Yes you will get any zones you don’t currently own.

If sales tax is added, what is the total sum?
May 8, 2012 at 6:12 am
Everyone’s sales tax is different. There’s no way I could figure out the sales tax for every area in the world
May 8, 2012 at 8:22 am
Even in the US? I was considering asking a friend that lives in the US to buy it for me, but wasn’t sure if I’d would be cheaper.
May 8, 2012 at 8:46 am
Every State can set their own sales tax rate. Our sales tax rate in Michigan would be different from someone who lives in like Texas or Flordia, etc.
May 8, 2012 at 11:40 am
It’s even worse than that… each city can set it’s own additional sales tax rate. At least in Texas, other states may not allow that.

I bought the game in dollars. I live in the UK. I just went to the isengard.lotro.com website and clicked on the little US flag in the top right hand corner and got the prices in dollars instead of pounds, which worked out much cheaper. I don’t remember being charged any tax on top of that, although I did pre-order so it was several months ago and my memory isn’t the best!
Looking at the Legendary edition:
$50 = £30 so half price would be £15. If you add 20% UK sales tax you’d pay £18.
If you just pay in pounds it’s £20 so you save either £2 or £5 (depending on whether tax is added) by buying the expansion in dollars.
May 9, 2012 at 6:30 pm
In the US tax is added at point of sale dependent upon State, in Europe all prices are inclusive (20% in the UK). What you’ve managed to do is get out of paying your tax (which is borderline pretty illegal in most places), and possibly had Turbine pay your UK VAT for you, which was kind of them, but they may come looking for it.
Yes, Turbine’s exchange rates are pretty terrible, and this one is the worst so far, but you’re really still looking at a savings of about £20 and for a loss of about £2 it may be worth it.
May 8, 2012 at 3:49 am
Anyway a really good deal for anyone who still didn’t bought it.
May 8, 2012 at 5:09 am
Thank you for this information. I live in the EU and am a new player without any of the expansions. This gives me a cheap option to get most of what is in both packs (using the TB points) without the need to ship the boxes from the US or to use the in game store (which seems oddly expensive).
Cheers!!!!

If I purchased isengard with TP, can I have a 50% sales also?
Thanks ~!
May 8, 2012 at 10:17 am
Why would you want to buy it twice? If you already own it, you don’t want to buy it again
May 8, 2012 at 4:47 pm
They may want the cosmetics/mounts (and you get some TP back for some of the options)
May 8, 2012 at 9:45 am
Bah! Been waiting to get RoI for a while, but I need to spend TP on it. Saw the 50% off and got excited….then major let down…:(

I’ve been waiting for this for a couple of months!! But…Sunday I decided I had waited long enough and bought the Mithril Edition for $15 and used TP to buy the ROI expansion in-game. Murphy’s Law in full effect.
May 8, 2012 at 8:03 pm
Golly. I bought RoI last Saturday. Legendary edition, full $49.99. Bah. Contacted Turbine support, the answer was as expected: tough luck, bud. Arguably I had it worse
May 8, 2012 at 2:47 pm
Does the “Path of the Fellowship” only include the quest packs, or is does it have some special exclusive quests?
Im asking because I already have all those areas, but Ive been out of the loop for a while and dont have Isengard yet. So Im looking at either the Base or Heroic, probably Heroic for the 1000 TP.
By the way, anyone have screenshots of the armor sets?
May 8, 2012 at 6:40 pm
Path of the fellowship packs are just a bundle of the ones listed, nothing fancy added quest wise just convenience of not having to buy them singly.
Depending on the server you play on chances are someone around will have at least one colour or another that you can inspect and try out on your characters. Failing that turbine had some of men/elves in boyband like poses and I believe cstm had better ones that may be lurking in the depths of older posts.
May 8, 2012 at 8:39 pm
May 10, 2012 at 7:00 am
Yeah, boyband poses!
May 8, 2012 at 4:06 pm
So, in the quest pack “fellowship of the ring” are with moria also all moria instances included ?
May 8, 2012 at 8:38 pm
The quest pack is “Path of the Fellowship” and yes all of the moria instances are included.
May 10, 2012 at 8:34 pm
I bought it today and ran into one issue i may have to contact account support on, im not getting any of the cloaks that go with the armours, were they preorder only or am i having an issue?
May 10, 2012 at 11:39 pm
Cloaks were a pre-order only item.
May 12, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Oh, ok thanks for the info!
May 11, 2012 at 6:54 am
Can anyone tell me if there’s any VIP time included with RoI?
May 12, 2012 at 1:07 pm
I bought it and as far as im aware, no it just opens up the quests and content listed as well as it bonus items.
