I don't know exactly what sparked it. It was either me finding some unique and unused Legendary Items in LOTRO's coding last year or the forums thread wanting some new addition to the LOTRO Store (also from last year), but the developers saw fit to finally introduce these to the game. Almost all of these skins are exclusive to the Store, costing 395 LP apiece. If there's an in-game way of obtaining something here, I'll have made a note below.
Three different sets have been released, the "Soaring Depths," the "
Khazad-dûm Vaults," and the "Storied Past" sets. I must point out that these skins have only appeared in the store for limited periods of time, and even then, only one set at a time. Watch the LOTRO Store (or Twitter or the client launcher), as I have, for their next appearance. I'd say once every month or two we've been graced by their presence.
I've collected only certain ones, as I don't have infinite funds to pour into LOTRO's coffers, and I haven't regretted those purchases either!
And, oh yes, I've moved these skins from the other CWP entries to here.
UPDATE: As of 5/9/19, these weapon skins have been made permanently available in the Store!

Thank you so much for these! They look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, some of them share skins (or look quite similar) to existing second age/third age weapons, ranging from lvls 55 to 60.
Quite a few of the game's legendary weapon "families" from that level look similar to each other. The level 65 crafted Clubs of the Third, Second, and First Ages would be a great example. By design, they all share the same structure but their rarity determines how decorative they look. Many of the weapons you see in this collection were actually unreleased First Age skins, which share resemblances to their own Second and Third Age counterparts. But it's their color, and ornamentation that make them unique.
DeleteAnd then you have designs like that Staff of the Storied Past or the Soaring Great Axe of he Depths that are like no other!
