Update 21.3.3 Release Notes


Here are the Release Notes for 21.3.3, released on Wednesday, January 31st. 


News and Notes:

• The game launcher will no longer crash when the game is down for an update. The launcher will now show a dialog letting you know the game is down, and then open the launcher so you can view the newsfeed. It will remain "Stuck on Installing Pre-Reqs", but it is not actually installing prereqs. NOTE: This behavior will begin after the game is patched to 21.3.3.
• The cosmetic shield Fingar's Lost Scale has a chance to drop when defeating Fingar in Challenge difficulty of the Abyss of Mordath raid.
• An Osgiliath travel mount, with automatically-granted war-steed Caparison and Saddle appearances, has been added to the Gorgoroth Steel-bound Lootboxes, and the Ash of Gorgoroth vendor. The mount skill-granting item can be freely traded.
• There is a new set of item level 340 earrings in the raid Abyss of Mordath and Gorgoroth Steel-bound Lootboxes. These Spring-themed rings have a new cosmetic effect, and can be found in Sagrog's loot. The names are Earring of Spring's Arrival, Earring of Spring's Promise, and Earring of Spring's Rite.
• A Lasgalen Owl cosmetic pet can now be found in the Gorgoroth Steel-bound Lootbox.
• Some crafted Doomfold Instance and Raid gear will no longer incorrectly claim to be Bound to Account instead of Bound to Character on Equip.
• The Abyss of Mordath first boss Challenge requirements have been adjusted to match the Challenge quest description.
