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.

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.
