What are the benefits of joining the woodworker's guild?
I know about the ability to craft Legendary items, but are there other neat things you can get only from them?
Also, what other societies in game can you gain reputation in through woodworking? Like I know with Men of Bree there are some recipes you can make for rep, are there any others?
In addition to the crafted LI's there are the crafted relics tier 3 being BOA. Additionally many of the single use recipes are available as guaranteed crit recipes which are on a long cool down and reusable. Also there are component recipes that produce more than 1 item (usually 5) again on a cool down. You can also get some nice recipes in Lothlorien.
