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.

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 Fletching Pottery Tailoring
