  • tradeskills for tribute?

    As I approach 300 on my last tradeskill, I realize I have donated much of what I have made to personal or guild tribute. I was just wondering what some suggestions would be for tradeskilled tribute items, particularly items that have easy to acquire ingredients relative to their tribute value.

    What are some of your best suggestions please?

    As an aside, being an erudite mage, I did not bother to make the evolving fletching trophy. I thought I would never really need it. Now that my fletching is 290, I realize how dumb that idea was. I should have done the trophy quest when my fletching was 100 or so. Please do the quests in West Freeport as soon as possible if you are gonna tradeskill at all. (Still kicking myself.)

    The best cost to tribute value i've found is finding a bunch of unfired pottery items and fireing em then tributeing them.You don't get much per item but the cost of the fireing sheets are cheep.

        Any tradeskilled item from the Planes of Power (that includes fletching, smithing, tailoring, JC etc) are worth alot of tribute. They are not very easy to farm (component wise) but they are well worth it in my opinion

          lower lvl planes = lower tribute.
          higher planes = nice tribute!!

          take a firehide bracer as example : 14926 tribute
          nightmare bracer : 1030 tribute.
          imo a big difference..

            The old 'blue diamond' cultural is pretty good, especially the imbued pieces. If I recall correctly its about 7500 tribute per sheet/BD used (though I could be a bit off on that, been a while since I made any).

              Tradeskills for Tribute

              Doing Blue Diamond and Tae Ew stuff for smithing skillups . . .

              - agnostic Brellium bracers are 1970 tribute (I think that the Brell ones were 2200 or so - been awhile sisnce I did them)

              - Tae Ew Shields are 3000, but need to farm iksar blood as well as tae ew blood

              - Tae Ew Chain is 4400-odd, if I recall. Considering that it only takes two sapphires for the distilled mana, if you farm the blood that's a 20:1 return for tribute. Even if you buy the blood at 100-200 a vail it's not bad.

                In addition to what's been said here, look at PoP bows. Elemental bows will give you between 40k and 50k tribute if you've got the goods.

                  Posted by Nygreth in the Upcoming Cultural Changes thread:

                  The actual DoN cultural will continue to have ZERO cash value to NPC vendors, but we plan on putting an equivalent Tribute value on them so that they can be tributed.

                      Blue diamond cultural tribute value is directly proportional to how rare individuals that needed any particular type were back when tribute went into the game.

                      What happened was, all items had an initial tribute value, it was too much, and then shortly thereafter they nerfed tribute (capped it at 200k per person, even though some people had millions, removed "exploited" tribute from people, and vastly reduced tribute values on items).

                      They determined tribute based on the average price of items in the bazaar across all servers during a certain time period, with some limits and some items that weren't ever listed not fitting the mold. Therefore, "rare" blue diamond cultural types had a huge tribute value because they had only sold a few when they went for much much more. The common ones (high elf, rallos heraldic, fine heraldic, mith marr heraldic especially were extremely common and cheaper and thus have worse tribute). Some blue diamond stuff has 7-9k tribute per sheet values. I think the radiant heraldic bp is like 29k tribute?

                        I disagree.
                        High elf blessed full mithril tributes for 5250 for the bracers and over 18K for the greaves

                          I'm a dark elf (the blue text in my sig kinda gives it away!) so Regent plate was the stuff I made. I know that the erudite stuff also tributes high too (friend of mine does it).

                          I also recall that the LoY tailored robes tributed well too, maybe not all, but some of them did - been a long time since done those though.

                            Just another plug for the old cultural and to check the values.

                            Fierce Heraldic Collar (Trivial 335, one infused ring) is < 2000 (like 1974 or something).

                            Fierce Heraldic Boots (also Trivial 335 and one infused ring) is > 9000 tribute.

                            The only difference in the recipe is the mold. which is like 5pp for the colar and 17pp for the boots. (didn't find out until I had cranked out 50 collars and decided to check the boots. 15pp more and more than 7000 difference in tribute.

                              I haven't looked much at making stuff just for tribute. I find I can usually buy stuff in the Bazaar that gives 20-to-1 or better on tribute per plat spent, which is fine by me.

                              On a related note, however, when you're making stuff for skillups, and are tributing the results anyway, you can sometimes do much better if you're picky about which items you make. For instance, when I was making Arctic Wyvern gear to get tailoring to 252, I didn't make masks, which tribute for 18. By farming extra velium (easy compared to the wyvern hides) I could make wristbands, which tribute for 802.

                              Reading Abazagaroth's post, I can see that this discrepancy came about precisely because of the traditional tradeskill paths! Since masks are the easiest Arctic Wyvern recipe (in terms of number of ingredients; the trivials are all the same), that's what people usually made, so they were a glut on the market. Other AW items were rarer and/or drew higher prices. So if the tribute values really were based on a survey of bazaar prices, then sure, the easy items came out worth only a little tribute while similar items may be worth much more tribute. It can pay to check the alternatives.
