Confused about Geerlok

[larpaul]

I've decided to start pottery with my Lvl 26 Dwarven Cleric. I started last night and was able to skill up to 120. I'm about to start on the poison vials, and had a question about Wisdom and the Geerlok. My Wisdom stands at 200. However, if I equip the Geerlok, I lose 9 Wisdom gained from my weapon. Should I keep the weapon equiped or the Geerlok? I was thinking that the Geerlok only gives you a better chance at a successful combine rather than increasing the odds of a skill up occuring. Can someone clarify this for me. So far, I really like pottery and plan to take it all the way up to 250! Thanks for all the great info on this board.

As stated in the FAQ, you are correct. The Geerlock only increases your chance of a successful combine, it does not directly affect your chance of a skillup.

Thanks for the reply and sorry, I called myself reading the FAQ but I must have gotten in to big a hurry and missed that. Thanks again!

Not the Pottery FAQ, it is in Skill Modifying Items in the Frequently Asked Questions forum.
