Since the Skirmish system introduced in the Siege of Mirkwood expansion has proven to be popular with many players, Turbine has extended that to include the older dungeons. Joining some of your favorite classic dungeons can now be done by queuing up via the Skirmish window. This will allow players to select one of several dungeons on the list and scale it to an appropriate level.
New rewards for this type of dungeon will be added to vendors located at the various skirmish camps throughout Middle-earth. You can earn new marks for the dungeons you take part in and exchange them for useful items that were once only attainable as mob drops. In one instance we were taken to face Thorog, the dragon in Halegrod. After some magical dev work, the dragon crashed to the ground, leaving behind a chest containing a new Halegrod Mark and a number of other Skirmish Marks. These new marks drop in the various scaled dungeons and like other Skirmish Marks can be exchanged for goods.
