What about Lotus Pies to 236?

[Caelum]

I see people argueing between HMP and MTPs, but I saw Lotus Pies get you to 236.

All items are storebought, except the eggs for clumps of dough.

Less subcombines from the looks of things.

And you can sell them for the Earring of Nature/Solstice quest.

So why not try this route?

[Craftah]

Lotus parts are not in regular vendor inventory, they are only there when people sell them to the vendors.

Are you sure, I read that all Thick Lotus Paste takes is:

Allspice (1) Storebought
Cup of Flour (1) Storebought
Cream (1) Crafted with Baking, 83 Trivial

Is this incorrect then?

You missed out the essential ingredient: Lotus sap (or steam etc.)

Drops only of these nasty nuking deep cavern lotus within Fungus Groove *shrieek*

So unless u cant eat these ~LVL48 plants easily, there is no way in skilling up by lotus pie. Evenmore as the lotus sap seems to be rather uncommon :?
On the other hand they will sell fine, due to the fact the pie is part of the solstice earing quest.
So .... if u aint hurrying and want to save couple of combines ..... naaa go better hunt in JP :roll:

Yep. Those Lotus are nasty. They nuke hard and summon. I tried to solo these as 58 cleric and died horrible deaths several times. I needed a tank help to take them down. I have learned one thing on doing tradeskills, nothing is easy.
