wis/int buffs

Enchanters and bards can both buff up your wis/int

There was not a limit when it first came out, but up until i'd say about 7 months or so ago, it was changed that you can only use it if you are lvl 60. (I think it's around the same time that they revamp CT). Can anyone that's under lvl 60 to try it? I don't have any char with pottery to make potion and under lvl 60, other wise I'd try it myself. It's been a long while since I've seen one, so did the level limit get removed after that or not, I don't know, I was just posting what I thought it was there.

It was just an fyi, in case that's the sole purpose that player wants to do, and I think I'd be littlie disappointed if I was that person and found out I've done tons of work for nothing.

On the case...

Already on the case. I am trying to figure out how to get the components and if successful will give it a try this weekend!

I can confirm that you can click the potion and gate as low as level 32 when I first tried it about 4 months ago... I can still click the potion today at level 50...

It's marked Recommended level 60... it has been for a long time. But it works for anyone that's been able to make it... no-one seems to know why it's tagged 60th level, but it doesn't seem to have an effect.

works fine for my bard in her 40s.

[Bindamel]

Heh.

I remember the panic at the Ranger's Glade when the Recommended Level 60 first got stuck on the Thurg Gate Potion. As everybody has already said here, it is usable well below 60.

I'm currently doing pottery for that reason, getting to 135 based on the FAQ formula. I did do 1-57 before the pottery nerf, but I did 57-122 in about 400 combines (1g per combine for medium bowl) with 130 wis. I posted the first half of the skillup data in the General Tradeskills area, if you want to take a look (it's with some baking skillups that I did the same night).

Once I trivialed the bowl, I seemed to have the choice of easy but expensive 2p per combine large bowls or cheaper poison vials with zombie farming.

I bought three stacks of bowl ingredients, and proceeded to go 0 for the first 37 combines, skillup-wise. I then got 5 skillups on the last 23 combines. I decided to farm the zombies in Oasis for a bit and got 16 combines worth of Puma skins, MQ cat pelts, and Zombie skins, from which I got one more skillup.

Hope that helps.

My main has 206 pottery, but I decided to get my 51 ranger some skill so she could make gate potions for emergencies. Bought 100 combines worth of supplies for jars to start out... only got my skill from 0 to 3, the very first combine getting her from 0 to 1. She's a ranger so her wis is only about 110, so I guess I need to up that for skillups, although she got her Fletching to 150 easily with even lower wis and very little money, and before they made Fletching "easier". Hmm....

Skillups

Well, I went from 0-122 just this week.

with 122 int i was averaging 1-2 skillups per 20 combines.

Not too bad, imho. I had a streak from 70-76 where I got 6 skillups on a stack. Yay!

Still VERY cheap to get to 122 compared to other tradeskills.
