This might be the best update ever...
Who are you and what did you do with the real Turbine?
Of Special Note
Shores of the Great River
A new region with 200 quests, free for VIPS, is now available! Read about this new region in the developer diary!
Epic Story
The Epic story continues! Free for all players.
Skirmish Soldiers on Landscape
Skirmish soldiers can be summoned on landscape, restricted to areas outside of high-population zones. Landscape soldier tokens provide one hour of soldier time. This does not apply to your skirmish soldier while it is in a skirmish (skirmish functionality is unchanged). Full details will be included in an upcoming developer diary.
Class Updates
The following classes are receiving important changes for Update 6. Full details will be available through developer diaries.
Free Peoples
Warden
Rune-keeper
Monsterplayers
Warg
Weaver
Changes to Itemization in the Ettenmoors
After sitting down and reviewing the PvMP rewards, we came to a few conclusions. First of all, we have a singular itemization path that is accessible through either PvE or PvMP. In our current offerings, we had to ensure that the PvMP items did not devalue the PvE offerings. Because of this, we have both reduced their potency and increased their gating mechanisms. This leads to PvMP rewards that are either underpowered or too difficult to acquire. Read more in the full Developer Diary.
A New Ettenmoors Currency
We've created a new-universal PvMP currency to replace the role of Destiny in the Ettenmoors. The new currency (Commendations) will be the primary driver of all PvMP rewards and advancement for both Freeps and Creeps. Read the Developer Diary for more details.
Instance Finder
Many changes have been made to the Instance finder. You’ll learn more about them in two upcoming developer diaries including instance finder rewards!
By Player Request & Suggestion
Virtues have been extended to Rank 14.
Stat Tomes from Sturdy Steel Lockboxes: fix for old version that would allow you to use the same tier more than once (to no effect). New drops will only have tomes that are unusable if you have already used the same one in the past.
Stat Tomes and Relic Removal Scrolls: all tiers of stat tomes and the relic removal scroll can now drop from the final bosses in scaled instances.
All items that are restricted to a character class or a small selection of character classes have been removed from the lockboxes.
Melding recipes for the store exclusive relics can now be found in game on the Relic Forging Master.
Marks, Medallions, Seals, and Relic Currency are all now bind to account.
Worn Symbols of Celebrimbor are now available via Skirmish barter vendors.

These talismans are made via a multi-output, single-shot Jeweler recipe. The recipe requires Friend standing with the Men of Dunland and can be found on the Dunlending Quartermaster in Galtrev.
