I've just put 166 recipes on the Thornkeep Auction House. 1 copper each. These are from Sspitfire's stash and the Callambea Library donated by Danielle, as well as donations from various people and some that I found as well. The full list (in screenshot form) is here: crpd.gibbermouth.com/2014/11/04/thornkeep-library-opens-for-business/

I am curious to know whether anyone is finding T2 recipes? Before patch 11 or maybe 10, I had found 4. Now nothing though I have been fighting the same mobs, even a little more efficiently and in equal or greater numbers (kills) than before. It is like the loot tables (for them) have changed.

I am envious. The best ratio I have found is about 5 kills/recipe. We don't have red Ghoul dogs in my area.

I went around killing escalation red ghoul dogs yesterday...Care to divulge your tactics? I'm extremely wary of those ghoul dogs, and have largely just left them alone while solo.
I was using my wizzie build who normally uses +2 heavy armor and a +2 diminishing staff (because things just fall over) but negative energy is useless against ghouls and that sonic diminishing spell Wraiths Cry never seems to fire off against ghouls (interrupted?).
I expected to die a lot so switched to:
generic +0 heavy armor (Kaziil insists robes are better and heavy slows her spell down but I still use heavy)
generic +0 charged staff
generic +0 charged wand
basically so death would not matter.
I was only taking on solo reds or small mobs with only one red:
- casting that Mage Resistance thing (though it usually wears off before it does much good)
- hit the red with electric brand till it got close
- and then spammed a rapid firing wand spell like Frost Ray at it to avoid interrupts.
- Once the red was down worried about others in the mob.
Kill to death ratio was about 4:1 in my favor.

The point in killing the reds was to try and get some T2 but none dropped. I only did it for an hour or so and hence it was not a big sample but I seemed to get pretty much 1:1 . Maybe a good loot table or maybe just a lucky run.

Much appreciated. Not sure I have the patience to die 20% of the time... :)
Until husks its a form of blitzing. Wear generic armor and if you die in an escalation hex you spawn right next to a new target.
Wearing +2 armor and using my +2 charged staff and wand I probably would have died more like 1 in 10 however I cannot make those items and kaziil was not around to get more so played it safe and just took generic stuff.
Point is the main problem is interrupts/tripping (not sure which) once they get close so do a lot of damage from ranged and switch to a fast melee attack once they close gets them down pretty quickly.

I've soloed the red ghoul dogs as well.
If they are alone, I will hit with Distant Shot, then 3 to 4 Quick Shots. Then run, just keeping my distance from the ghoul dog. When they stop agro and move back. I'll follow them and can usually get another 3 to 4 Quick Shots in before they agro me again. Repeat until it is dead.
