Woot!!!! Congrats!!!!!

May be a dumb question but what are the skill caps now? I know it is 300 with DoN but is that just for one Trade skill until you spend aa's? Or can you take them all to 300 now without any aa's? Can someone give me the details on this of point me in the right direction so I can read up on it? Thanks for the help in advance.

Congratulations! The new 300 avatar looks sweet.

PS - how much time and plat was spent and what did you use to skill up with?

[Grolyn]

Cap is 300 for any one tradeskill, all other are still capped at 200 unless you spend extra AA's.

Brut Champagne for Brewing (836)
Sickles for Smithing (699, but there's a margin of error of probably 50 combines I forgot to account for)
MTPs for Baking (840)
Mithril Arrows for Fletching (860)
Star Ruby Steins for Pottery (1143)
Standard Misc crap for JC (no clue)

And tailoring... I HATE tailoring. I was lucky enough to get to 282 using Solstice robes the very night before the 3/3 patch. I was hoping to get 2100 the next day as Cultural fletching kits were supposedly going to be fixed...haha. After that I did a few misc combines to get to 284. Followed that up a few days later with 42 combines of cultural master arms to get to 290 (yes, 6 in 42 combines). After that it all went downhill. I pharmed for HOURS (like 40) more shissar scales to get enough for 50 combines (keep in mind I now need three per combine) and got zero skillups. I then pharmed a ton of othmir for 30 cloaks (which need four hides each) and got zero skillups. I finally got two skillups on another run of 40, and then another two on a run of like 25. My final skillup to trivial took like 11 more. After that I did about 25 more cultural BP combines of shissar scales to get zero skillups again, and said screw those. In the end I did about 20 elemental combines of bazaar bought crap, and 120ish old cultural combines (tunarian scout bracer) to get the final 5 skillups. All in all I did close to 1000 combines to get from 250 to 300 for tailoring. Tailoring alone cost me roughly 500k (I'm still trying to resell most of the elemental crap for dirt cheap and no buyers), while the others combined were about the same. So total cost would be estimated at 900-1000k even though I did a lot of the pharming myself.

Hey, Tnexus, I hope Prexus has room for more than one Master Artisan. I see Terris-Thule will be joining you soon
