rare elite loot

[squidy91]

how many recipes are there that use items like raugzoks ear?

i found one on lotro wiki that uses tuft of torahammas fur, for torhammas cloak but i cant see any more and dont really want to search every profession and tier for them.

hi Squidy,

the Forochel cloak is the only one that requires a special loot drop. That big mammoth and all of his adds have been causing grief in the snowy area for far too long. It has been a very long time (with the game now 6.5yrs old) since you could use loot drops for recipes other than the shards for one-shot recipes etc. You will still get the odd weird drop from a named elite but unfortunately they are nothing more than barter trash these days.

Thanks,

I think they got rid of this model because it became too much of a bottleneck for crafting the best items.  People would camp the corresponding mobs, and the spawn rate was very low to begin with.  In any case, those drops were only ingredients for the one-shot recipes, which themselves have become obsolete with crafting guild auto-crits.

so the torhammas cloak no longer exists either? that would mean the lotro wiki needs updating

I thought it was a drop now.  Could be wrong.  ;-)

[Rainbowdoddle]

it is still a drop Squidy, but he is not a push-over. lvl 50 mammoth plus adds with fear buffs that can summon ghost wolves and lots of hit points and dread. Other than that he is easy.

he's easy for a level 75+ minie :-D

[squidy91]

yea but the wiki has it under tailor recipes still.

thx for info guys

Torhammas' Fur is the drop.  Torhammas' Cloak is the recipe tailors can make with the fur.
