New Lotro Class Consumables

November Update will introduce a new suite of class consumables. Many of the new consumables can be crafted using traditional ingredients as well as the new Ingredient Packs available in the LOTRO Store. Additionally, all of the items and the recipes are available in the LOTRO Store.

Skirmishes

Reconnaissance Reports

Reduces Direct Soldier cool down. Reconnaissance Reports contain a thorough analysis of the field of battle, enabling commanders to more efficiently direct the flow of battle. The Reconnaissance Reports reduce the cooldown of the Direct Soldier skill by 25% for 15 minutes. This consumable is exclusive to the LOTRO Store.

All Classes

Bandages

Bandages can be used as both a reactive and preventative method of protecting oneself from injuries caused by falling. Using a Bandage removes the movement-impairing injuries caused by falling and provides 60 minutes of immunity from them as well. It’s important to note that these have no effect on item damage caused by falling. They also will not prevent death due to falling too far. This consumable is exclusive to the LOTRO Store.
