Gathering Resources

Crafting materials are found throughout Middle-earth from Vendors, as loot drops or ground spawns, or in the assorted chests and crates around the world. Raw materials for crafting consist of ores, woods, gems, seeds, cooking supplies, dye components, hides and lore items.

Crafting resources (Ingredient Packs) are also available for purchase from the LOTRO Store.

• Ores and woods are most commonly found as ground spawns, and if you have the gathering skill to collect them, you will have a tracking skill that you can activate to give you an indicator when you are near that resource. Ore nodes can also produce gems for Jewellers, and minerals for Scholars.
• Seeds and cooking components can be purchased from Provisioners or tradesmen.
• Hides are found as loot drops from many creatures.
• Lore items are found as loot drops on humanoid enemies or in and around ruins inside ancient Artifacts.

All of these assorted materials can also be found in chests scattered throughout the landscape and in dungeons.
