Update 23.2 is now on Bullroarer, suggesting we will get the raid before Christmas.

Here are the notes for the current preview: https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?669465-Bullroarer-Update-23-2-Preview-1-Release-Notes

I'll post more info when I get a chance to look around.

There are new essences: Empowered Mithrin (rare, tier 12). These are about 10% more than Mithrin essences (except Vitality, which is only 6.3% more).

An Empowered Mithrin essence box can be crafted using a Universal Solvent, a Dwarrowgleam Shard, and some ordinary mats. It's an automatic Ironfold recipe. The essence box and whichever essence you extract are bound to account.

Individual essences can be unslotted from gear by paying 1 Mithril Coin each.

Among other changes, Beornings will be able to use Heavy Armour.

Embers barter gear has not changed. The devs have said that better gear that drops from the raid will not be available in lootboxes or for barter for some period of time. Although raid-quality gear might drop in lootboxes eventually, it will probably not be available for barter unless you have done the raid.

Your LIs automatically will get 2 more tiers for the main and other legacies. You will also be able to add 3 more star-lit crystals per LI and 3 more empowerment scrolls per legacy.

In Preview #2, they have temporarily removed the Empowered Mithrin essence crafting recipes.

Also, the cost of removing an essence using the new mechanism is now 10 Mithril Coins (which seems excessive to me). You are supposed to be able to slot an essence into an occupied slot (destroying the old essence) without charge, but that feature seems not to work. It prompts warning you are going to destroy the old essence, but then it gives an error.

The Restored Rare Vanguard versions of runes are available for 100 Longbeard Marks.

I poked my head into the raid. The first set of trash mobs is 9 drakes with 12 million morale each (tier 1).  Apparently, you can aggro 4 separately, and they can be CCed. There is a large area to kite them, so the tank may need skates.
