  • I'm probably insane, but I'll tell you this anyway.

    It's going to be a while before I'm able to get anywhere 1750 since I'm only level 39 at the moment. I had this insane idea of trying to get to 1450 before I even get high enough to take any AAs at all. Here's a list of relevant skills.

    Baking 230
    Blacksmithing 115
    Brewing 200
    Fletching 0 (Haven't started yet)
    Jewelry Making 54 (GoD freebie quest)
    Pottery 127
    Tailoring 92

    As well as
    Fishing 178
    Swimming 163 (The Ocean of Tears is big.)

    I'm a human wizard so I can't forage. For Baking, I'm making Misty Thicket picnics to reduce vegetable consumption. I'm a follower of Karana so I'll be able to do that particular fletching variant once I begin there. Any thoughts on which skills I might have the easiest time raising with my current level and class? I don't expect any of them to get to 200 as easily as Brewing did, but there must be a way to advance at least part of the way without too much pain.

    Fletching will probably be the next easiest to raise of your skills. All you really need to do is buy a fletching kit (I'd recommend a collapsed one if you can afford it) then plop down in front of an arrow vendor and plug away. Everything for making arrows can be vendor bought until 202 skill. JC is also pretty much the same way, all vendor bought. Just takes time and patience for both to 200.

    Good luck!

      Since you're Karana follower smithing to 188 can also be done via making Karana arrowheads, it can be a tad expensive but good lord how much nicer it was than chasing down spiderlings to make leather padding for FS plate. JC just takes money, it gets a little expensive around 170ish or so but it has an advantage of being storebought. Pottery is pretty easy up to 199 now that both fired and unfired ceramic linings stack and that you can use crows special brew as pelt replacement. Again a bit pricey. Tailoring won't cost too much at first because you're stuck farming silks and pelts, pelts for quiver combine, silks for crystalline or wus.

      The real challenges will be the last few points of tailoring and the last few points of smithing. Tailoring more than smithing, there's more less time consuming viable paths through smithing than tailoring.

        Fletching is storebought and easy to 202. Costs under 100 plat to get fletching 100+. Might as well get started with that.

          Yeah you wont need to touch Karana Fletching till after you get your AAs anyway. But like was posted above, the precombines on the Karana fletching will get your smithing up to 188.

          This may be slightly more expensive (but you gonna have to make these later anyway) than oldstyle smithing but will save you a lot of time in the future (if you have a mule you can store all your arrowheads or whatever on)

          Good Luck with it all, i was close to 200 in all before i got to 51, but not completly there.

            Here's an update. Baking is now 232 and Fletching 157. Plus I've got 21 stacks of Misty Thicket Picnics to unload. All that product for just a few skill points gained. The arrows are the same way, but I can just sell those to the vendor I buy the supplies from. I can see why a mule was suggested for the arrowheads.

              Fletching's out of the way for now. I know I'll need a lot of farming for Smithing and Tailoring, so I'll probably hit Jewelcraft and Pottery next. I'm likely to bleed platinum at it though.

                Smithing to 188 is store bought.

                Do the Karana arrow precombines. Use this recipy =

                http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_...=9601&menustr=

                I did it in Surefall Glade.

                The vendors and forge are there, and there is a bank one zone away in Jaggedpine Forrest.

                Save all tha arrowheads, as you will use them later in this recipy to skill up fletching.

                  Here's a question. Since fine steel weapons fall like snow in Solusek's Eye and Permafrost, wouldn't I be able to save a few platinum doing ornate chain with the silver bars until they trivial and then starting the arrowheads? I'm not opposed to doing some of my own farming when it'll keep me from bankruptcy. (Most of the platinum I've obtained so far is by selling leather padding in the Bazaar at whatever the going rate is. I farm the silks and pelts myself.)
