Dyeable Erebor Armor Sets...And It's About Time!

Much to my surprise this morning, I discovered accidentally that the Erebor armor sets are one hundred percent dyeable with the release of Update 14. I was in the middle of making outfits, testing out orange on some chest pieces, when I mistakenly clicked on an Erebor chest piece. A million red flags rose in my head and I dropped what I was doing to fly to the nearest skirmish camp. Every piece on every set dyes the selected color. I'm praying that this is no mistake and that these sets will permanently stay like this. However, the "In Defense of Erebor" deeds still gate them. (Honestly, I would have preferred ceremonial sets to avoid this requirement. I've only done the deed on one character.)

For those of you unable to log into LOTRO today, I'll provide some fabulous screenshots. Keep in mind that I'm dyeing these sets in the most contrasting way possible to show which areas will change color in relation to the original. To the left is the original color of any given set and to the right is the newly dyed version. The matching class will be listed beneath the appropriate picture.

    1. Me too. This has definitely expanded cosmetic possibilities :) I'm going to give it a week before buying anything to make sure this change holds.

  2. I really want that Burglar hood . . . so bad. Even more now that it can be dyed!

    1. So do I, but they still cost a pretty penny. I think the cheapest piece is around 2k matks and 300-something medallions.

  3. Hi there. I'm a editor from the LOTRO-Wiki and I would like to use your images of these sets on the wiki (with a referal link to your blog of course). Are you ok with this?
