Best tradeskill to GM in?

So between brewing and baking, which will require less combines to get from 200 to 250? Baking seemed to be a lot quicker in skilling up closer to 200 than brewing did. Is that true post-200 also?

There's no good way to tell which skill will require the least amount of combines from 200-250. The best anyone could do is make logical guesses based on which recipies you're using to skill-up.

As far as which is easier overall, MHBs can take you to 248 brewing with all vendor-bought components.

Ok, have to ask. What is "carpal tunnel syndrome" ?

Forgot Tradeskill?

Bah, that's six. If I have forgotten one, then Jeebus (My level 9 cleric) shall surely strike me down.

You forgot fletching, but he's a mage. It would be ridiculous for him to try mastering something he'll never use himself and has such a small market; only 5 classes.

And Prizzle, carpal tunnel syndrome is a physical disorder caused by excessive typing or clicking, where little tunnel-like structures grow in your fingers, joints I think. It refers to the large number of mouse clicks required to make mass numbers of halas pies, picnics, or minotaur hero brews.

Just incase you weren't joking: CTS, pinched nerves that travel through the carpal tunnel, in your wrist. Symptom, tingling (that fallen asleep feeling) in your hands. Some other symptoms, but not sure what all they are. A good test, hold your arms out, and put your hands together, wrist to wrist, fingers pointing down. Hold them like that for a minute or so. If you hands feel like they've been asleep you might have a problem. People usually develop CTS, because of #1) repetetive motion, or #2) poor typing position. Typing is repetitive, so might have been a bit reduntant, bleh.

In this case, over use of the hand using the mouse heh. I've noticed a lot less stress with my Logitech Trakman, I don't work for them or anything heh.

I believe in Australia we call it Repetitive Stress Injury or R.S.I, I am assuming its the same thing as C.T.S

I agree on tradeskilling baking. Btw, Mammoth Caves drop mammoth meat as well as the big mammoths so a level 18 should be able to take one of these down (buy the meat, save alot of time. Hunt only if ya realy need it, or people try to be rediculous with the price). Baking dosen't realy start paying off till you can make Halas 10lb pies, but earlier than that your getting combinables from stuff you hunt anyways so loosing some to failures dosn't hurt at all. And yes, you do make a little more from selling final products to vendors than the uncombined raw ingredients usualy.
Nice thing about making food is you never go hungry, oh, and once someone buys a stack of misty thicket picknicks, they'll be back instead of reselling once they've gotten an upgrade.
