What Each Drop Is

The Kurog Grimtotem encounter lists 17 items in the dungeon journal, item level 395. Equip slots covered: Trinket, Two-Hand, One-Hand, Feet, Waist, Held In Off-hand, Wrist and Hands. Every piece binds when picked up, so none of it reaches the Auction House.

Read from the current game build's item data. Listed prices come from our latest US Auction House scan; a drop that binds when picked up never has one.
