The new crafting system

Crafting tables

With the Moria patch, lots of things in the crafting system have changed. I'm trying to write new tables for all the new components and recipes. Which, of course, is more than a single hobbit can do. A hobbit who also has some adventuring to do! Therefore, I would very much apprechiate your help. Send me a mail if you'd like to contribute!

The new optional crafting components (formerly "trophies")

(Updated August 2010)

Mercifully (with respect to clarity and the limitations of our backpacks), the trophy system has been reworked. There is now only one trophy per profession and tier. The kind of trophy remains the same throughout a professional career; a tailor for instance will always use fibers.

Trophies are now dropped by humanoid creatures or found in certain resources (wood, ore, relics, and fields). Trophy level depends on creature level. I am not sure whether signature and elite creatures have a higher droprate than normal ones, as it was before.

It is very easy now to remember what professions trophies belong to:

Woodworker	Resins
Scholar	Candles
Jeweller	Stone salts
Metalsmith	Brimstone
Weaponsmith	Whetstones
Tailor	Flax fibers
Cook	Spices

All trophies are linked to lorebook.lotro.com.
