I guess now with the troll essences, people are once again camping the troll encounter... the only place to get the trollnails.
it maybe because that is an easy way to get 2 of the "smaller" trolls and the essenses were removed from the mobs in the player dungeons. Perhaps we need more troll encounters or a scene with multiple smaller trolls to bridge the gap between the single trolls and the ruined keep.
There are 3 and a saytr at the bridge, you can time it so you can fight them 1 on 1 but its a bit more uncertain than the twins. One of the 3 is Baern'Dawl who has just under 9k hp and the saytr Brule Rocktooth has 5-6k. There is another Baern'Dawl around the bend in front of the keep. I suppose it depends on what one considers low level, but this fight is harder than the twins.
It changes. The first seems to always be a lower level one, the second one is usually Baern, and the last two spawns can be either, or Brule. I don't think any of them drop toenails, though.
Only the troll encounter drops the trollnails. That's why it's so problematic when people are camping it.
I'd love a new wandering encounter with 3 regular trolls camping near a cave. Perhaps a new easter egg from a famous fantasy series.
I think the troll encounters, that pass near Eceter will be good for essence they use to spawn non stop down there not sure if that’s still a thing though.
Right (except for BMC rings). I was just putting out alternatives for people to grind troll essences.
Ahh. Good to know. I'll give him a try. I spent a couple weeks on the Vertas Troll. Nada. Twins however have dropped a couple however. Back to Vertas I go!! Thx!
Veritas pass has the same troll. A mountaint roll. It also drops the BMC ring and has a quick respawn time. Also plenty of silver around to mine and cotton bushes for the aspiring gatherer But if you find trolls in general to be soemthign you can do well against Ruiend keep is hands down the best place to get troll essence. there ccan be 3 ont he road up to the keep, and 2 or 3 inside the back gate withotu havign to engage allt he other stuff
