Graalx2 posted on the official forums today, confirming that legacy tiers will be fixed soon:
We have found the issue with all of the legacies costs not decreasing as the legacy tiers up. It will be fixed in the next major patch (not tomorrow’s). There was a problem with rounding off that caused the numbers not to change as they should. This will correct all legacy costs for all classes.
If you’re not familiar with this issue, Ferdinand the Great has posted a brief summary on LOTRO Vault:
Unaware of what the issues were? A number of legacies (at least eight of them confirmed for Wardens!) did not reduce in cost at certain upgrade levels. (In particular, T4>T5 and T5>T6 were being miscalculated.) That means that, given a rate of something like 500SM/hr (taking into account dailies), you were looking at about four hours of wasted gameplay upon purchase of a Scroll of Entitlement, because your legacy tier upgrade would net you zero points. Oops.
I’ve not dealt with that issue yet, but it’ll be something to watch out for … sure sounds like a pain in the butt.
Ah, this happened to me the other day for the Burglar Addle cooldown legacy. I had 10 points left over after fully levelling it again, and just assumed that I’d had none beforehand, and that the next tier was only saving me 10 points.
If I’d bothered to think about it any more I’d have realised that something wasn’t quite right!
