Which is awesome, to be sure.  But it sure is hard jumping back into an MMO after you&#8217;ve been away for a while.  <\/p>\n<p>When you pre-order Rise of Isengard, you immediately get a few doo-dads, most of which are borderline useless.  The actually useful one is Derudh&#8217;s Stone, which a character can equip in his pocket slot for a 25% xp boost.  Handy for leveling alts, if you&#8217;re into that sort of thing.  The stone&#8217;s name is taken from the Welsh word for druid.  Turbine is drawing from Welsh mythology for Dunland, a poor tribal area that Saruman is recruiting in the upcoming war against Rohan.  See how I know this stuff?  Do I sound like the Tolkien dork I wish I was?<\/p>\n<p>So when I got my pre-order code today, I figured I&#8217;d take a quick look at the cosmetic stuff.  Not that I care about any of that.  I mean, really, who cares what kind of horse your dude rides or what kind of cloak she wears, right?  Not me.  Pish.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, these are whole new cosmetic armor sets.  I wonder how they look if I just try them on.  Ooh, look at the cool circlet thingies, which are very fetching on my elf.  Whoa, my willowy elf suddenly looks kind of bulky and bad-ass in that cloak.  Wow, the armor looks all, I dunno, <em>rangery<\/em>.  Hey, these new mounts are supposed to be Rohirrim mounts.  Surely they&#8217;re just horses, right?  Whoa, they&#8217;ve got some kind of, like, bad ass horse tabards and headplate dealies!  Here&#8217;s me riding around Bree in my bitchin&#8217; armor of the Edelhorn, or whatever, with my Rohirrim mount.  Level 75, here I come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>My Rohirrim.
