Trade skill and tribute (looking for best ratio)

[splunge]

Crab and tuna are fishable (crab is lootable from the crab traps under the Abysmal Sea Boat).
Hynid and Cragbeast meat is foraged.

The Hynid/Cragbeast meat is still worth 5g/lb or so. (and also worth 1 tribute each lb)
The crab and tuna are the 1c/lb stuff.

humm since i cant make any cultural armor my best bet is the Gold Geode Ring , geode are sold for 5 - 10pp each on my server so i still make 15-20tribute per pp , not too bad.

thx ofr the info.

Skilling up on tailored cultural robes (human...not a lucky erudite ), but still overrun with tribute points.

For smithing, I like the tae ew chain leggings btw.

Basically, 2 tae ew bloods + distilled mana = 10k tribute

dagnabbit, now you tell me after I made like 40 enchanted gold geode rings skilling up!

[Sulkano]

Robe of Misery is worth 8400 tribute points

Gold Geode Ring = Enchanted Gold Bar + Geode (Trivial 211, Jewelcraft)

Bar = 10.5pp + enchanting fees
Geode = Foraged (less than 20pp in bazaar)

Worth 331 tribute

31.5 tribute per pp max

Am I missing something here? Total cost to make is 30.5 (10.5 + 20), worth 331 tribute points.

331 / 30.5 = 10.85 tribute / pp

Not 31.5. So it isn't as great a deal as you make it out to be. Good, but not as good.


Just sayin'

(Unless, by "under 20pp" you mean more like 10pp.)

[Kaaba]

It's free if you forage it, so it's just the cost of the gold bar.

[Bryan Williams]

Here's one most anyone can do.

Forged Spear
Oak shaft 1.05p
Sheet Metal 1.05p
Spear head mold 9.45p
Water Flask .01p

Total cost 11.56p, trivial 66

Tribute - priceless (JK, 240 tribute), 20.76 tribute per plat, all vendor bought ingredients, easily made in pok.

[Maevenniia]

The gold polished quartz rings are ~660 tribute points.

Deep Cavern Breastplate (swamp temper) is 299 tribute points. There are some other LDon Breatplates worth up to ~700 points, but I forget which temper it was /sigh, need to write these things down...

[splunge]

Hm, searching for 'forged' on Lucy came up with some interesting others....

Forged Warhammer
hammer head mold (4.20p)
oak shaft (1.05)
sheet metal (1.05)
water flask (0.01)
Trivial 62
507 tribute - 6.31p cost

Forged Pick
oak shaft (1.05)
pick head mold (0.01)
sheet metal (1.05)
water flask (0.01)
Trivial 49
320 Tribute - 2.12p cost (no fail at 250 skill too!)

Thats 150 tribute per plat. I think we got a winnah here. Make em now before the nerf bat swangs!

[Eoghnved]

1 lb tuna and crab meat.

1c off of vendors.

Worth 1 tribute.

Thats 1000:1 ratio! I WIN!

Lots of drops sell for tiny fractions of what tribute masters give for them as well I wont spill all my secrets, but i find a certain short sword often for 200p in the bazaar thats worth 1853 tribute. Where that sword comes from is a good place to look for other bargains.

Lots of lowbie LDON drops are very nice tribute as well.
I won a Miners Girdle in a LDON adventure (8ac 8sta, thats it). Prolly couldnt get 10p for it in the bazaar but its worth 120 tribute. Shwing!

I buy two stacks of bait for 1 gold, 2 silver. Then I spend about 30 min fishing and converting and wind up with about 400-500 tribute points. This is how I covered the Enduring Breath I needed to finish my Staff of the Wheel quest. It may not be useful for the higher level players, but it's great where I am now.
