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):

The following are from raid events:


Annotations:

      • Next to an ingredient signifies the ingredient is returned on combine... stuff like Smithy Hammers.

Important Subcombines:

Celestial Essence (Everything) --- Our server uses a Mortar and Pestle, not a Mixing Bowl
--Celestial Solvent -Darius Gandril in Plane of Knowledge at West Trader Building
--The Scent of Marr -Loran Thu'Leth in Plane of Knowledge at West Trader Building

Baking

Important Subcombines:

Skilling Up:

   Here we move to requiring dropped / foraged items. I'd suggest Fishing in PoStorms / PoWater for these fish combines as well as foraging in PoJustice. Save the Justice Fruit / Bread Crumbs from foraging
   Was renamed to Planar Fruit / Planar Fruit Pie on PC side, on here it remains Justice Fruit

Consider Vendor diving for crafting materials 222+. 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. Guide to 100 Misty Thicket Picnic Combines

Blacksmithing

Brewing

Important Subcombines:

Skilling Up:

   ***Something I would recommend, is buying up 50+ Stacks of Short Beer and selling them to a vendor with an open slot in Plane of Knowledge. 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***
   ***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 bar Combines:

Electrum bar Combines:

Gold bar Combines:

Platinum bar Combines:

   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

Important Subcombines:

Skilling Up:

   After 202 you have two options. Option 1 is storebought bows, these are expensive. The ones listed Below have the respective costs:
   Cost - (Sellback) - Loss after sellback {assumes successful combine}
   227 - (205) - 22
   303 - (230) - 73
   359 - (245) - 114
   Option 2 is farming Acrylia arrows (acrylia and chunks of condensed shadow/ice/flame
