Special Crafting Materials and Loot Rates

Some advanced recipes use creature loot rather than vendor materials.

All creatures and their loot

On the Loot Guide home page, search for creatures or the item you want. Each NPC has its own page with an in-game image, illustrated item list, drop chances and resources obtained by carving its corpse. Expand random groups to inspect each possible item.

Open the bag containing magical equipment

When an eligible unowned creature drops magical weapons or armor with a plus bonus, that equipment is gathered into a normal Bag inside its corpse. Check the bag after opening the corpse. Gold and ordinary loot stay in place; the bag does not add another item or another drop roll. No empty bag is added when no eligible equipment drops.

How to read the rate?

18% is an independent chance for each eligible death. Six kills do not guarantee an item; drops may be consecutive or absent for a long time. The creature must be the correct type. Check other recipe materials in the crafting menu too.

Evaluate equipment

Consider magical tier, skill requirements, bonuses and wear together. NPC Merchant value differs from a player's asking price. Do not confuse a tooltip's base value with a Player Vendor's total sale price.
