Less crafting XP? That doesn’t sound good. Is that just on gathering professions it to compensate for the new gathering XP?

It’s not crafting XP that’s being reduced, it’s the HUGE amount of regular XP that’ll be added on crafting with update 9 ^^

Can you explain the new loot system in more detail?
How does it combine with symbols? Is there variety in the loot you get assigned to you, or is a one way trip and be done with it?
All interesting questions I can’t seem to find an answer to

The halter had the same cosmetic as the Light Wold Halter when it should have been the halter that is currently in the screenshot featured on the live LotRO launcher right this minute.
