What kind of person returning to active EQ status after years decides the first thing to do is pick up the pieces of his "old school" tradeskilling and find a way to join the 2100 Club? Don't returning players just want to make their characters powerful again?
Okay, call me unusual.
As an on again off again player since 1999, I've dabbled in all the tradeskills except for alchemy and poisons. In fact, I was granted the title of Grandmaster when I made a Grandmaster Jeweler's Eyeglass!
Of course, I've since been demoted, I'm considered only an "expert jeweler" now. Technology moves on.
After reading up on this awesome resource, I've learned that there are now quests for "evolving" trophies and new recipes to replace the ones I leveled up with. The Trader's corner contains tons of knowledge, but getting the ball rolling again from where I am at this point is the hard part.
Where I am:
Baking 130
Blacksmithing 66
Brewing 27
Fishing 200
Fletching 2
Jewelry Making 250 (only one I have a trophy in)
Pottery 122
Research 97
Tailoring 31
Tinkering 116
+ lots of banked tradeskill items and a free heroic character to supply me with foraged and farmed treasures, although my main has almost caught up in level.
+ only the auto-granted AA's, so probably none of the tradeskill ones.
So the fact that I wrote such a long post should convince you I'm committed to mastering the tradeskills. As I said before, I'm kind of unusual that way, but I'm hoping that the niche of players who frequent this site share the same passion. What steps should I take to get back on the right path in all the trades? Thank you in advance!
