LotRO's Book 7 will introduce new items for the Rune-keeper

If you play a Rune-keeper in Lord of the Rings Online, we've got some good news for you. According to a recent forum post by a Turbine employee, the Rune-keeper will be enjoying some brand new items with Volume 2, Book 7:
- Chisel: This Ranged slot item can be crafted by Metalsmiths and will be sought after by all Rune-keepers. Higher quality chisels allow a Rune-keeper to etch more detailed and intricate runes on their stones. Doing so will passively increase damage and chances of avoiding resistance. To be clear, this is NOT a range weapon, just a item that resides in the Ranged slot.
- Inlays: Various metallic inlays can be created by Scholars and quickly applied to a Rune-stone. These are not simply cosmetic, as they will harden the Rune-stone, allowing the next induction skill to have reduced power cost and to be uninterruptable.
- Enamels: Enamels of a few different colours will also be craftable by Scholars. These enamels brighten the colour of a rune-stone, making it attune further in whatever direction it is already moving.

Then you have you heal trait to reduce threat and you also have your rune bags, that can reduce it even more..

Well, this is interesting, but I am looking forward to hearing what else will be offered. (RK is the one class in the game that interests me not at all.)
Here's hoping for an improved LFG system, more summoning horns scattered around the landscape, more swift travel options, rez points that aren't on the other side of a particular region, a better mail system, a reworked housing system, improved pet AI/pathing, toned down RK combat graphics/sound effects... *sigh*
LotRO is great, but could be still better in many ways.
