The expansion increased the game's level cap to 75, added level 75 Legendary Items, a new crafting tier, a 24-man raid, and improved virtue traits.[2] It also coincided with stat caps removal and several major class revisions; in particular the minstrel and the champion classes. Rise of Isengard brings the game's timeline to the events of The Two Towers. Players accompany the Grey Company as they ride to the aid of Aragorn, traveling through the new areas of Dunland, The Gap of Rohan, and Isengard, seat of Saruman the White. The Epic Story was advanced with Volume 3 Book 4: The Rise of Isengard and introduced the player to iconic characters such as Grimbold, Prince Théodred, Grima Wormtongue and Saruman the White.
