LOTRO Is Giving Away Wolves of Mordor Housing Items With a Limited-Time Code

Posted on by

The Lord of the Rings Online players can grab a small batch of free housing decorations tied to the new Wolves of Mordor expansion. Standing Stone Games is offering the coupon code SAURONSGIFT, which unlocks a Scorched Collection of Bones, a Large Scorched Collection of Bones, and a Miniature Witch King for player housing.

The code is available until Thursday, December 10, 2026, and can be redeemed once per account.

Standing Stone also outlined more changes coming to Bait the Enemy, a lesson in the expansion’s Survival Instincts system. The team says the goal is to bring back some of the fun players had with open tapping, without reintroducing the performance problems caused by the earlier behavior.

  • Enemies summoned by Bait the Enemy will be openly tapped.
  • Summoned enemies will now appear in front of the player who called them in.
  • Each summoned mob will generate a standard trophy list when killed.
  • Solo summoned monsters will drop an uncommon Bait the Enemy cache.
  • Small group bosses will drop an uncommon cache, with a small chance at an extra rare cache.
  • Group bosses will always drop both an uncommon and rare Bait the Enemy cache.

Uncommon caches can contain 1 to 10 regional Barter Tokens, Survival Instincts points, an Incomparable level-cap tracery, or a very rare cosmetic pet. Rare caches also include 1 to 10 regional Barter Tokens, with higher Survival Instincts point rewards, a very rare Legendary tracery, and the same very rare cosmetic pet chance.

The update also adds tracking for Bait the Enemy cache rewards. If players keep collecting caches within the cooldown window and reach six collections, they’ll trigger a loot lockout equal to the Bait the Enemy cooldown. That lockout will show as a debuff, then reset once it expires.

Standing Stone says this setup should let players help others kill summoned enemies without missing out on rewards or taking rewards away from the summoner.
