anyone actually read them, gonna be a big change for crit ingrediants for crafters
Book 13 introduces a change to monster trophies in an effort to make them generic enough to extend their functionality across multiple species-types. The change will mean that all of the old trophies you have grown to love (or hate) will soon become extinct. The trophies already existing in your pack, storage unit, and auction house will be the last remnants of the old items. Let’s all shed a small tear for the last of the Clean Drake Tails and Lethal Sharp Dread Turtle Webbed Claws (that’s a mouthful).
The change also means you should free up some pack space as there will be a greater opportunity to stack similar trophies. All of the Great Claws you collect should stack, regardless if they came from a Lynx, Bear, or Warg. This will save some pack space while adventuring in those regions that are home to multiple species that drop similar items.
Most of the fallout to this change will reach the crafters, who have been using trophies as optional ingredients in many of their recipes. All of the recipes that utilize optional ingredients have been updated to use a new generic trophy item. If your recipe calls for the new “Tough Leg” trophy item you will be able to find that from 7 species located in all parts of Middle-earth. The change will undoubtedly make it easier to obtain most optional ingredients.
You do not need to sell or delete any of the soon-to-be-outdated optional ingredient items. A new barter NPC will be located in the Bree-town Crafting Hall who can trade-in your old item for the new equivalent. I’m sure he will be incredibly busy exchanging the old Lethal Sharp Dread Turtle Webbed Claws into the new item. You can continue to buy outdated optional ingredients if they are still available on the auction house. The only added step will be converting them into the new item using the barter NPC.
