Item Information
- This is a generic page with information that is shared by all variations of Steel-bound Lootboxes. Such a box is a rare world drop.
- Lootboxes are not Bound and can be bought or sold at the Auction House - usually for rediculous amounts of gold, especially since then one must also acquire a Key to open them!
- To open a lootbox a Sturdy Steel Key is required. Those keys are also obtained as a rare world drop, rewards for certain quests, or purchased from the Lotro Store. See "Opening a Lootbox" below.
- *** Gorgoroth Steel-bound Lootboxes introduced with the Mordor expansion need a Black Steel Key and therefore cannot be opened with a Sturdy Steel Key.
Variations
- The level of the dropped lootbox depends on the level of the bested creature. Likewise, the level of the lootbox determines the level of the items it yields.
