Advice past 255

[nibot]

Yay, I made 255! Now the tougher part. Can you offer advice? What post-255 combines do you feel sell the best in bazaar? I'm a non-forager and I've been buying Draconic Essence in baz for 150-200pp each. Any other advice?

Well, you have your concoction V potions (wood ashes, silkworms, saliva) until 256.
Draconic essence and another drop or 100+ plat worth of store-bought junk till 276.
After that, mature silkworms, mature drake and basilisk saliva, quicklime till 311.

Besides those, you're SoL. You can also do an aug now and then. In any case, my advice is to hold off with any post 250 combines until someone gives you a green light. ATM, many of us believe, based on empirical evidence, that skill ups post 280ish are broken. To be on the safe side, just stockpile your ingredients. I caved in, and blew through about 300 combines worth of 311 potions and received 2 skill ups. I'm holding the rest of my reserves till I read that things have normalized.
