Need advice please

[Curian]

I would like to finish up my pottery to 250 (220 atm, with Aid Grimel completed). I am a HIE Mage of Mith Marr. any suggestions as to my approach? Money is always an issue, but I do know that you have to spend to skill up. Thanks for the advice folks.

No sense in repeating what has been summed up many times in the past in this forum.

You are not the first person to ask this question.

Take some time to read this forum.

Make some steins, ceramic rings, and finish up with idols. All this information has been posted countless times here.

My druid made:

• unfired opal encrusted steins to 222
  unfired white ceramic bands to 231
  unfired crucibles of escape to 236
  unfired idols of tunare to 242
  unfired star ruby encrusted steins to 250

She fired all the steins and ceramic bands and is slowly selling them off in the Bazaar. I would guess that at this point, the star ruby encrusted stein sales have paid for her skill-ups.

There were some bad spots when she thought she wasn't ever going to get another skill-up point. But looking back at her records for 200 to 250, she actually averaged approximately 30 combinations per skill-up.

It really helps if you know an enchanter who is willing to enchant all those vials of mana; a priest that can imbue the gems; and a jeweler to lacquer gems.

Sorry for my original answer... bad commute into work this morning because of the snow.
