Darchon's Tradeskill guide

The Maximum skill in any tradeskill is 252. This means someone with 240 skill + a 5% mod (Geerlok) will attain the maximum effective skill (252) and have identical success rate as someone with 250 skill + a 5% mod. Important Tradeskill Values: 220 + 15% = 252 230 + 10% = 252 240 + 5% = 252 Important Tradeskill Modifiers (make sure to equip in primary): Geerlok's 7 Tools - 5% --- One for each Tradeskill: Geerlok All Purpose Baking Utensil Geerlok Automated Hammer Geerlok Fermentation Device Geerlok Gem Setter Geerlok Planing Tool Geerlok Sculpting Tools Geerlok Sewing Contraption Grandmaster's 7 Trophies - 5% --- One for each Tradeskill: Grandmaster Baker's Spoon Grandmaster Brewer's Corker Grandmaster Fletcher's Knife Grandmaster Jeweler's Eyeglass Grandmaster Potter's Sculpter Grandmaster Smith's Hammer Grandmaster Tailor's Needle The following are from raid events: Massive Girdle of the Forge -- in Sanctus Seru from Praesertum Bikun - 10% Blacksmithing --- LARGE Races only Gauntlets of Dark Embers - in Vex Thal from Blob 1 - 15% Blacksmithing -- Plate/Chain only Hammer of the Ironfrost - in Ssraeshza Temple from XTC - 15% Blacksmithing Akhevan Shadow Shears - in Akheva Ruins from Shei Vinitras - 15% Tailoring Annotations: Next to an ingredient signifies the ingredient is returned on combine... stuff like Smithy Hammers.

I'd suggest Fishing in PoStorms / PoWater for these fish combines as well as foraging in PoJustice.

People will often sell Blood Raven Parts / Boar Meat / Jord Meat / Mephit Meat / Vann Toes - to vendors. Each + a few CEs or vendor bought pieces will be a 250+ trivial combine. See HERE for PoP Recipes. If you cannot forage effectively / farm PoP meats, Misty Thicket Picnics are an option. I'd highly suggest making a mule, putting 16 Deluxe Toolboxes on him, and having this guy hold your subcombines trading you 1 bag full of 20 combines at a time.

I always used Bargol Halith, the barbarian inside the northern room of the Eastern Trader building. He is out of the general path so people usually don't fill up his inventory with random stuff*** Kaladim Constitutional -- 249-250 Celestial Essence - Crafted, see above Bottle - Bargol Halith in Plane of Knowledge at East Trader Building Cork - Tabben Bromal in Plane of Knowledge at South Eastern Trader Building (2nd floor) Soda Water - Crafted Fermented Yarrow - Crafted Corking Device*** - Crafted Strange Dark Fungus - 7 (Red Mushroom) Ground Spawns in North Kaladim at #9 Underfoot Mushroom - 10 (Blue Mushroom) Ground Spawns in North Kaladim at #9 ***Note, there is no reason to get all 10 blue mushrooms, just get 7 of each cause you will need an even amount of them. Also their respawn time is 5minutes. It is easiest to park an alt there or bind there, picking them up every time you gate or just every time you think to tab to that alt Jewelry Making All Jewelry Making combines for skilling up are a simple: 1 Bar of Metal 1 Gem All skillups 0-250 can be done in 1 room in the North Trader building of Plane of Knowledge, just west of the Main bank. Kirem Deepfacet is located in Plane of Knowledge in the North Trader Building (closest one to main bank) - He sells all the basic gems/jewels for Jewelry Making. Audri Deepfacet is located in Plane of Knowledge in the North Trader Building (closest one to main bank) - She sells all the basic metal bars as well as some uncommon gems/jewels for Jewelry Making. Skilling Up: Silver Combines: 0-17 -- Malachite 17-26 -- Bloodstone 27-30 -- Jasper 31-34 -- Star Rose Quartz Electrum Combines: 35-74 -- Malachite 75-87 -- Bloodstone 88-92 -- Jasper 93-98 -- Star Rose Quartz 99-106 -- Jade 107-111 -- Topaz Gold Combines: 112-146 -- Malachite 147-159 -- Bloodstone 160-164 -- Jasper 165-170 -- Star Rose Quartz 171-178 -- Jade 179-183 -- Topaz 184-186 -- Peridot 187-188 -- Emerald 189-191 -- Opal 192-196 -- Fire Opal* 197-199 -- Star Ruby* 200-202 -- Fire Emerald* Platinum Combines: 203-218 -- Malachite 218-231 -- Bloodstone 232-236 -- Jasper 237-242 -- Star Rose Quartz 243-250 -- Jade Above I listed suggested skill-up paths. There are intermediate things like inbetween Malachite and Bloodstone there are a few gems that cost more than Malachite but less than Bloodstone, however it is generally not worth your time to buy these gems in stacks since you will often skill up and be left with a few stacks of excess Lapis Lazuli or some other gem. So the suggestions I've made are just those with decent spread between them in skill/cost. Also the transition points between the metal type is based on cost. IE the next cost gem after Star Rose Quartz is Amber, however when you total the cost per combine, Electrum Malachite is less than Silver Amber. Which is why each transition is made where I've posted. Fletching Pottery Tailoring
