Join Date Nov Posts Can't Purchase Mithril Edition I was trying to buy the Mithril Edition on Gamestop the other day, but when I try to check out it removes it from the cart and says "One or more items have been deleted or modified based on the availability.

Have they run out of codes, perhaps? Reply With Quote. Mar 11 , PM 2. Join Date Jan Posts 5, You'll be wanting to talk to Gamestop about this. Jan 28 , PM 2. Join Date Jan Posts 1. Feb 07 , AM 3.

But now it says that I 'cannot purchase at my location'. Better to be a smart one than a dumb one. Feb 08 , PM 7. May 21 , PM 8. Join Date May Posts The product code was made available a few hours after purchase. The hardest part was figuring which Turbine store site and which link allowed me to redeem the code. Other than what is commonly know to be included in this edition, it looked like it also unlocked the Warden class, but not the Rune-Keeper and did not give me extra character slots.

It could be used in various alloys to produce extremely lightweight, hard and durable armour. It was also used as a type of inlay called ithildin. The Elves loved it for its beauty and presumably used it for jewelry and attire rather than weapons or armour. The Dwarves of Moria mined for mithril too greedily and too deep, ultimately releasing a Balrog , Durin's Bane.

Before the Dwarves abandoned Moria, mithril was worth ten times its own volume in gold. However, once the Dwarves abandoned Moria and the excavation of mithril ore stopped entirely, it became priceless, as the presence of the Balrog prevented the Orcs in Moria from mining for it. The only way to obtain a mithril object at the end of the Third Age was to either use heirloom mithril weapons and armour that were produced before the fall of Moria, or to melt down these existing objects to forge new ones.

However, most of the mithril produced by the Dwarves before the fall of Moria was gathered by Orcs and paid as tribute to Sauron, who was said to covet it. The West-gate of Moria bore inlaid ithildin etchings and runes. The helmets of the Guard of the Citadel were made of mithril, heirlooms of Gondor's past wealth. For the literal-minded reader, it is unclear whether or not mithril is a real metal; many have thought it to be platinum , or iridium however, both are far too heavy to qualify as candidates.

It is possible that this legendary material was modelled after titanium , as this metal, while actually quite abundant as ore , was very expensive to produce in its metallic form especially by medieval technology , and has some of mithril's properties of strength, bright silvery color, corrosion resistance, and light weight.

Other possibilities are aluminium , or magnesium ; these metals are even lighter than titanium, but not as strong or as silvery and shiny. Famously, Napoleon III of France once bought dinnerware made out of aluminium because it was more expensive than gold at the time.

Certainly Tolkien , being highly educated, would have had knowledge of these three metals and the difficulty in preparing them. However, probably because nobody is known to have asked Tolkien about mithril , it will never be known with certainty whether mithril is based on any real metal. Of all items made of mithril , the most famous is the " small shirt of mail " retrieved from the hoard of the dragon Smaug , and given to Bilbo Baggins by Thorin Oakenshield.

Bilbo donated the shirt to the Shire 's mathom museum in Michel Delving, but reclaimed it before he left the Shire.

It saved Frodo's life when he was nearly skewered by an Uruk captain in the book in the Mines of Moria. Aragorn said the thrust was strong enough to skewer a wild boar, but the spear point could not penetrate the mithril-alloy mail.

However, the leather shirt beneath the mithril was punctured with the force of the blow and Frodo was bruised and in pain. Described by Gimli as having been a kingly gift, Gandalf states that the mithril-coat was worth more than the entire Shire and everything in it though Gandalf says that he never told Bilbo, Frodo suspects Bilbo knew to some extent.

Its value seems to have been even greater, however. After leaving Moria, the Fellowship has a chance to examine the shirt, and Gimli says of it, "I have never seen or heard tell of one so fair" and that Gandalf "undervalued it.

When the coat was displayed before the hosts of Aragorn at the Gates of Mordor many despaired, thinking Frodo had been captured or killed, and the Ring taken.

Gandalf reclaimed it from Sauron 's lieutenant, the Mouth of Sauron , and was later able to return it to Frodo after the battles were won.
