On of the six trogg weapons dropped off certain Trogg mobs in Dun Morogh. Besides their looks, and perhaps roleplaying reasons, they have no actual use.
These six are:
- Trogg Dagger (1.0 dps/1.50 speed one hand dagger; drops off level 2 Burly Rockjaw Troggs) - no level requirement.
- Trogg Hand Axe (1.5 dps/2.00 speed main hand axe; drops off level 3-4 Rockjaw Raiders) - no level requirement.
- Skull Hatchet (3.3 dps/2.00 speed main hand axe; drops off level 8-9 Rockjaw Skullthumpers) - requires level 3.
- Rockjaw Blade (3.8 dps/2.10 speed main hand sword; drops off level 9-10 Rockjaw Ambushers) - requires level 4.
- Frostbit Staff (5.7 dps/2.70 speed staff; drops off level 9-10 Rockjaw Bonesnappers) - requires level 5.
- Trogg Club (4.8 dps/2.00 speed main hand mace; drops off level 11-12 Rockjaw Backbreakers) - requires level 6.For the sake of a complete list, this is where these mobs are located:
- Burly Rockjaw Troggs are found in Coldridge Valley (the Dwarf/Gnome starting area), in the fields and ruined camp close to Anvilmar.
- Rockjaw Raiders are found throughout Coldridge Pass, the tunnel between the Valley and the rest of Dun Morogh.
- Rockjaw Skullthumpers are found in Gol'Bolar Quarry, an overrun mining operation in eastern Dun Morogh.
- Rockjaw Ambushers are found in the eastern regions of Dun Morogh, mostly in between Gol'Bolar and Helm's Bed (see below).
- Rockjaw Bonesnappers are found in the cave on the east side of Gol'Bolar Quarry.
- Rockjaw Backbreakers are found in Gol'Bolar Quarry and around Helm's Bed Lake, where they have struck a deal with the Dark Iron spies there. Both these areas are in the eastern part of Dun Morogh.
I can confirm this item was readded into the game in patch 10.1.7.
