Book 8 Weaponsmith Changes

  1. New optional ingredients have been added for the Cooking, Jeweller, Metalsmith, Scholar, Tailor, Weaponsmith, and Woodworker professions. These new optional ingredients replace the old optional ingredients, which can no longer be found in treasure or used in recipes. A new Trophy Broker NPC, located in Michel Delving, will exchange any old optional ingredient you might have for the appropriate new optional ingredient.
  2. Prospecting Deposits: can produce Jeweller, Metalsmith, and Weaponsmith optional ingredients

  • Reduced the amount of crafting experience awarded for the following Supreme Weaponsmith recipes:
    • Lethal Shield-spike Kit Recipe
    • Supreme Ancient Dwarf Shield-spike Kit Recipe
    • Lethal Caltrops Recipe
    • Big Bag of Marbles Recipe
    • Paralyzing Stun Dust Recipe
  • Changed crafting UI category âGuardian Shield-spikesâ to âShield-spikesâ now that they can be used by multiple classes.
  • Corrected output quantities for the Supreme Weaponsmith âLethal Shield-spike Kitâ and âSupreme Ancient Dwarf Shield-spike Kitâ recipes. The lethal spike kit recipe will now produce three kits for a normal success and three kits for a critical success. The supreme ancient dwarf spike kit recipe will produce 2 kits for a normal success and 2 kits for a critical success.

As a dev pointed out, there is a new NPC in the Loth Vinyards called a "Lothlorien Crafting Guild Emissary." He sells guild-type recipes for many of the Loth-specific teal items, including:

  • tailor cloaks
  • weaponsmith weapons
  • woodworker weapons
  • metalsmithing shields
  • jeweller runestones
  • NEW cook tier 6+ crit food
  • NEW scholar tier 6+ crit potions

All of these recipes have the standard 1 week cooldown, require friend with the Galadhrim, and require kindred with the crafting guild.
