Thread: Reputation Crafting List

I'm a Metalsmith so I hit Gath Forthnir after the patch and the recipe/quest that uses nickel "Icon of Heroes" was available.

:: Bows and gives great thanks for the sticky ::

Do you have to be acquaintance to get the Ancient Nickel Recipe for Metalsmith?

There is a superior study inside the Mathom House in the Shire once you reach the rep level that allows you to enter. As for the rewards, you should have been able to see everything that was available once you had access to the rep vendors and decided it wasn't worth pursuing then. At least you can get a discount on your repairs now.

so, you have to get access to the cooking ones to get access to a superior study that is not in rivendell.. that's just wrong, I think they should move it or put another one in..

I've read through the lorebook and forums searching for the answers to two questions on reputation, but cannot find, can someone please set me straight?

1) I have seen people refer to the "reputation recipes" but so far have only seen recipes (both in game and in post information) that allow me to craft items for more reputation. Are there other recipes that you get when you get higher rep, recipes that make items to wear or eat or use somehow?

2) Once I raise my rep high enough to gain access to the recipes and I going to get a physical scroll or something? If so is it BoA? Meaning, I have a 45th lev character who is able to grind all the rep items if she wants , and some lev 20 alt crafters. Do I have to raise all my crafters to 28-35 th level to do their own rep griding? Or can my 45 th level grind and just pass the items down to the alts? I want to know before using up all my hard acquired rep items on a character who wont be able to use the recipes once she gets access to them.

Please answer if you know, and please don't just refer me to the Lorebook, I have read through the entire rep section and it doesn't answer these questions. Thanks!

Metalsmiths (Thorin's) and Weaponsmiths (Bree) can buy a recipe when they have the proper standing that allows them to craft repair anvils that can be used out in the field. The anvils are BoA when crafted so you can't sell them or trade them to friends and they have an extremely long cooldown on them. Tailors can also buy dwarven herald armament recipes for Captains as well when they have the appropriate standing from Thorin's. As far as I know, those are the only non-rep item recipes available. The food, viola, jewelry etc. recipes only create the rep items for turn-in and can't be used or equipped.

The crafting recipes that make reputation items (for the most part) are only available if your character has that profession. For example, the Jeweller recipes from Thorin's Hall are only available to you if your character is a Tinker. If your character is an Explorer, only the quests to turn in dropped reputation items will be available so you wouldn't be able to collect, say, the Woodworking recipes from Bree to send to your Woodsman alt.

There are a couple of recipes that are automatically granted as you level, like Nickel Iron ingots and Polished Moonstones, but I believe you still can't use them to create reputation items unless you have the appropriate profession. The crafted items themselves are BoA so you cannot pass them along to alts or sell them. I don't know for sure, but even if you had two characters with the same profession I would imagine the recipes you acquire from the various factions are BoA so you'll have to grind the rep to get them for each character. The dropped reputation items like Mathoms and Orc Medallions are not BoA so you can still pass those along to your alts.

I hope that helps!

This, for Mathom Society, is wrong. My Hobbit Chef can not get the quests at level 28.

Regarding the cook quest level im not 100% sure if i was 28 or 30 when i did this, but i know i had to have artisan level cooking available before the quest was given

My guy is level 28, a Hobbit, and a GM cook. I can't get it.

(Since the first post, I've leveled, and should go back and see if I can get it at level 29)

Also, when I say I can't get the quest, that means ANYthing. I right-click the dudes and they don't have a dialogue at all.

Does anyone know where to get Blackberry Honey? Is it only available as a drop or can it be purchased from a vendor somewhere? If it is only a drop, where have people had success getting the drop (i.e.; region, creatures, etc.)?

It is not available at a vendor or as a drop from creatures. The blackberry honey is a random drop from farmed blackberry fields. You usually can find it at the AH. Or if you are a farmer or know a farmer, you can farm blackberry fields and get the drop. It drops better with the crit soil added, but the crit soil is not necessary.

Great! Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to get my farming alt out in the fields and put him back to work!

thanks!!

Fully agree with you is nice crafting stuff but no visual reward at the end. I craft a #%#$% lot of these ranger sashes for the north down faction and well, at least good point manage to get mastery artisan by the end, but still just 4 stupid item. Fell really shock about that do the same with the metalsmith for angmar, by the way is really painfull way more then tailor, and guess gonna just mastery artisan cause i think is the only point just hope to get good reward by the end and a recipe based on which crfting need would be appreciate. How about just a single use item then you can't find anywhere else? Finger cross then this book11 gonna have some improvement regarding that

Do I have permission to add this to the LOTRO reference Links thread?

do you get any monetary returns after you turn in the crafting rep items?
if not, won't it be cheaper to just vendor the crafted items instead of making rep items to turn in

The crafted rep items are bound and cannot be sold on the AH.

The hobbit rep and the evendim rep become available at level 29.

Just so you know, my scholar is level 30 and the Rivendell crafting rep quests are still not available. This guide lists them as available at level 28.

Does anyone know what level is required to receive the recipes for Study of the Unknown and Of Mysteries Most Profound? I have received Scholar's writ already and I am level 39 however the quests from Cachunir are not available yet.

Note: After book 14 went live, all of the elven scholar reputation recipes were made available as purchasable items from Cachunir .

Awesome post, and my thanks for keeping it updated too. There is one small detail you have overlooked about Elf Reputation recipes...The tier 5 recipe quests are quest level 47 (i believe) making them unavailable before character level 40, no matter what elf rep level you have reached. If you level craft faster than you level character, you will learn this for yourself. Thanks for all the good work!

Reading the posts above, I see that the hobbit rep might also have a different level requirement for the tier 5 intro quest. some person interested in accuracy could research the rep quest levels....sigh...If you want something done right, lol!

Uh, yep, the reputation system was added to the game after release to provide "high end content" to keep people playing with long term goals which took weeks and months to complete (adding billable months). Isn't capitalism cool? I also agree that except for the collectible sets of items, the rep rewards aren't worth the candle. But play because you love the game, not because you want to get something "concrete" for your time and hard earned (or ill-gotten) money.

After Hours (!) of extensive research from the musty halls of the LOTRO Lorebook, the following appear to be the CHARACTER LEVEL requirements (in addition to the rep level) to obtain the introductory quest (and get the recipe to drop from the NPC) to craft the various reputation crafting items:

The lorebook says these numbers are the “minimum level” of the quest, which I’m guessing means “minimum character level,” since that seems to match with my recollection of the ones I’ve managed to do so far…

These are all the same level…

Bree: Figurine 35
Viol 35
Spear 35

Thorin: Jewel 39
Necklace 39
Ring 39

Hobbit: Wine 29
Beef 29
Chicken 29

Here’s where they get all different…

Ranger: Sash 32
Cloak 38
Tapestry 42

Elf: Writ 34
Studies 42
Mysteries 42

Council: C. Vigil. 38
C. Valour 42
Iron H. 42

Warden: Dagger 29
Blade 42
Sceptre 42

Forochel:Spearhead 39
Luisitin 39
(unknown…)

After Book 14 went live ALL the reputation crafting recipes are available to buy from the NPC's who give the reputation crafting quests. (So much for all my research.) You may even purchase the recipe for stuff you don't have the crafting level to make (but you can't "learn" the recipe). You do have to have the rep to get TO the vendor (Elf, Dwarf) but don't have to be any particular rep to access the NPC's store. You can even use the recipe (if you have the crafting level) and learn the recipe and make the rep crafting items, even if you haven't done the quest for that item yet. My level 37 GM scholar made a stack of 50 "Mysteries" which eventually will be worth 35k rep points! (I been saving up.)

Here's the catch: You cannot barter the crafted items for reputation points, I guess until you have reached the appropriate character level and done the intoductory quest. You get the error message, "You have not done the prerequisites to barter this item." (or words to that effect). So you are just going to have to store the crafted rep items until you have reached the levels I described in the above post and do the quest. Good news: The crafted items take up considerably less space in your bank than the components to make them.

OK first of all, great summary of the recipes.

However, I am having a problem with Metalsmith recipes for rep with Council of the North.

My GM metalsmith went to Gath Forthnir when allowed to and bought all the rep recipes. I then crafted all three items in the correct quantities for what I guessed would be required for intro quests. Hroar only accepted the Crests of Vigilance.

I asked on Advice channel and was told I was required to be level 49 (I found this strange as this would suggest the rep intro quest was 55 level! but I hadn't found this thread at that time). When I was level 49, I tried again and got a message saying that I hadn't fulfilled the prerequisite conditions. Hroar has no quests for me despite the Lorebook being clear that he is the quest giver. What other prerequisites are there? If there are some, can someone add them to the initial post so that others don't pursue impossible rep please?

TIA for advice.

Any plan on a Moria update ?

In case no one else has posted this, it looks like the crafting level for cooks (Mathom Society) has changed...at level 28 I'm not able to pick up the crafting quest. The quest-giver (Baldwin Foxtail) has a silver quest ring over his head.

I've been working to get to level 28 on my cook so I can get the Bombadil music...I thought tonight was the night! Oh well, patience...

Are the Rep items bind on acquire? Or could I buy the items from another player?

Bah, you're kidding me! I just used a bunch of platinum to make lots of these only to find there's no way to turn them in? If they're going to stop accepting them they should disable the recipe as well.
