I don't know if this page is to be used for organizing the Beorning update, so if a central project emerges, feel free to move it there.

Here's what I was thinking for the Beorning categories based on the existing classes and races. The obvious difficulty is that Beorning is both the race and the class with its own enmity deeds and racial traits different from the Race of Man. Do we (option 1) combine the categories and, for example, put Beorning class deeds in the same category as Beorning race deeds or do we (option 2) separate them out and name them something like "Beorning Deeds" and "Beorning Racial Deeds" as I have them broken out below?

I've also got all the skill and trait icons from the first build on BR ready to upload but I wanted to get the categories nailed down before proceeding with that. Neum (talk) 12:15, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Looks good, be my guest!-- Makes sense from the little I've seen. (Only ran 1 Beorning up to level 5 so far.)
I was just collecting "stuff" and tagging it here, so that we could find those pieces relating to the Beornings. I did not work on creating any of the Category structure for them. I just listed some of the areas needing work over in [[Talk:Lotro Wiki_Contributors%27_Corner#Preliminary_release_notes_on_Beornings:_.28Keep_in_mind_this_is_preliminary_and_subject_to_change.29]]
I basically documented (hopefully completely, pending any changes in later betas) the introductory quests in Category:Beorning Quests.
For what it's worth, I expect Build 2+ to contain more "stuff" for the Beornings -- as the Lodge itself is currently not accessible -- and if you look closely, the Door to the Lodge is a separate building in front of the Lodge door. Similarly, the Vales of Anduin have not been created as an Area and the question becomes what name is going to be used? Vales of Anduin or Grimbeorn's lodge, etc. especially given that there is no way BACK to the Lodge as things stand presently.
  • One thing I noticed this morning -- the 4 Rep Vendors in Pelargir all offer special Class specific Essences, including ones for the Beornings. Haven't checked the DolAmroth vendors since I discovered the Class Specific Essences. (There is a HUGE amount of stuff in this update!) We haven't really dealt with the Essences as yet. The existing pages are pretty lame, but matched the first pass on the implementation, sort of.
One thing in the list I just noticed -- Beorning Trainer NPCs -- I doubt these will exist as trainers are no longer used in-game since the advent of Trait Trees. Will have to look for them.
  • I have not created the Store entries yet. Class only and Class+bundle.
  • At this point, my level 5 Beorning does not have ANY deeds of any kind. So, toss a coin :)
  • BTW, I believe all 5 maps now work. Central Gondor, Ringó Vale, Dor-en-Enril, Lebennin, Pelargir

You can get back to the lodge with a racial trait, Return to Grimbeorn's Lodge, after completing Enmity of the Spiders II. There you'll also find the only Beorning trainer who sells the level 39 books to start the old legendary class deeds. Neum (talk) 21:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
