Black Grimoire of Og'Napesh - Best place to Farm?

[A Big Hairy Monster]

Anyone able to point me in the right direction? This is supposedly one of the best pet build items, but I don't actually know much about the loot drop mechanics in this game. It seems theyve gone through some various changes, so finding up to date information has been hard as to what enemies drop what kinds of loot and under what circumstances.

Its a random drop from any level appropriate opponents that can drop it. And since its a tomb, any magic user can drop it that carries tombs. Lots of magic users are in blood groove area so its a start. Will also get lots of wands from them - more than you want.

Define 'level appropriate' - this is something that hasn't been explained very well anywhere Ive seen. The reason I ask is Ive seen this thrown around a bunch, but Ive also seen level 40 mobs drop level 50 req gear, and ive seen level 45 mobs drop level 25 greens.

Most items have a minimum level an enemy needs to be before its able to be dropped such as legendaries which needs enemies of level 50 or better. BG-ON is item level 40 and char required level 40 so any creeps above 40 should be able to drop it.

Alright, thanks; that clears things up a bit for me. Now to go get some manticore eyes too, since I just got all the recipes for the parts I need to make Savage ;)

Haha, wish I'd seen this before I went to sleep :P I'm only level 45 now, so the empowered version is too high for me (Its what, like 70?), to answer your question, for Savage all I'm missing is the blood and 3/4ths of the dread skull and the eyes. The blood is pretty easy to get - Ive got several hearts so just need to rotate through some bounties to turn em into blood (Or just get lucky when doin some more farming), so its really just I need 3 skull parts and the 2 eyes.

Farm Mogora and other Manticore elites in Jagged Waste for the eyes. You'll get em in no time.
