Ulthork Tusks
Iceclad Ocean mob trophy and combine component dropped by ulthork raiders along the Velious coast.
Drops from
Ulthork Tusks is a Velious-era trophy and combine component dropped from ulthork mobs along the Iceclad Ocean coastline. The ulthork are walrus-folk natives to the Velious shelf, hostile to almost everything that enters the water, and their tusks are the signature drop that ties them into faction quests and combine recipes throughout the Velious chain.
In TAKP-canonical content the tusks function primarily as a sellable trophy and a quest-turnin component, not as a high-tier combine reagent. Players accumulate tusks in volume during routine Iceclad farming and convert them through Coldain or Othmir faction handlers.

Stats
Ulthork Tusks carries no equip stats and no effect — it is a stackable trophy item with 2.0 weight per unit. The lore flag prevents stacking duplicates in inventory beyond one per slot in some client revisions, so most players bank tusks at a Thurgadin banker until they're ready to turn them in.
How to obtain
Drops from ulthork raiders, ulthork men o war, and related ulthork-tagged spawns across Iceclad Ocean. Drop chance is in the 7-15 percent band per kill across most contributing spawns, which makes the tusks a steady accumulation rather than a rare drop. Cross-zone drops appear from a handful of unrelated mobs in the Velious dungeon set, but the canonical farm location is the Iceclad coast.
The Iceclad farming loop pairs naturally with Othmir faction grinding, since the seal-folk Othmir are hostile to the ulthork and will reward kills with positive faction. Players running the Coldain Shawl Quest line often pick up tusks along the way without dedicated farming.
Why it matters
Ulthork Tusks is the connective tissue between Iceclad faction work and the broader Velious quest economy. Players turning the tusks in to the appropriate handler convert a routine farm drop into faction gain, coin, and incremental progress on adjacent quest lines. The item's role is humble but reliable — it's the kind of drop that fills bank slots over a Velious career rather than driving a single decisive upgrade.
For tradeskillers, the tusks contribute to a handful of carved-bone and totem combine recipes in the Velious set. None of those recipes produce tier-defining gear, but several feed into role-utility items used in faction quest turnins downstream.
The tusks also serve as a low-stakes farming target for new Velious arrivals — kills along the Iceclad coast are at a level range accessible to early-50s characters and double as Othmir faction warming, which unlocks vendor and quest access in Thurgadin and the surrounding Velious hub zones.
The Last Camp any-race-class note
Tusks farm identically for every race / class on The Last Camp — the only meaningful variation is which surface mobs in Iceclad are KOS to a given race at first arrival. Most playable races land neutral or near-neutral with the Othmir and need a few faction grinds before vendor and quest handlers will deal with them, so the early Iceclad runs double as faction-warming runs.
Class composition matters more than race for ulthork farming — the contributing mobs are placed in shallow water and along the coastline, which favors melee-aggressive setups over kite-heavy comps. Druids and shamans clear the route quickly with snare and slow; warriors and paladins can run a stand-and-fight loop along the western coast with minimal downtime.
Lore note
The ulthork are walrus-folk and one of the older intelligent races on the Velious shelf, predating the Coldain / Kromrif conflict that defines the modern era. The tusks are a culturally significant trophy among the Othmir seal-folk who war with the ulthork over coastal territory — turning tusks in to the Othmir is a faction-positive gesture that ties the player into the Othmir's side of the conflict.
The Iceclad coast is also home to a handful of named ulthork spawns — raiders, men o war, and mid-level chieftains — that drop the tusks alongside coin and the occasional gear piece. Players camping the named tier accumulate tusks as a side effect rather than a primary goal, which is the canonical way the item enters most inventories.
