old world pelts and poison vials

[sir0die]

can anyone post a list or link to which "old world pelts" can be used in making vials?

i'm relatively new, so i don't quite know what is meant by OLD WORLD.

i know that mq bear/wolf/cat pelts and zombie skins work

what about lion skins, ulthork skins, gnolls skins/scalps?

please list the skin/pelts you know work ("know" means you've used in a successfull combine)

what about mammath calf pelts? dire wolf skins, and other nonstackable pelts/skins?

Do a search on "PV".

Q

[sir0die]

ok, gotta ask, it lists LQ wolf as being able to be used, can anyone confirm this?

i was under the impression that LQ WAS NOT usable.

[Quell]

Relevance?

Wouldn't a better question be, "Why would you ever use a LQ Wolf pelt to make a vial?"

If you have a large supply, turn 'em into leather paddings.. sell those for quite a bit more than a vial would sell.. Then either 1) Buy vials from a vendor with the profits or 2) Buy 10x other skins for the pottery skillups.

It's kinda like asking "How many dough does a dragon egg make?" Maybe interesting trivia, but hardly a worthy use for a dragon egg.

Ok here is what I know for Posin vials and pelts.

ALL Quality, named pelts that stack, Skin of all types including lion, puma and thick grizzly skins.

What will not work, Runied of any type, All the new newbiee err lowbiee quest skins/pelts. All non stacking pelts, skins or hides, All kunark, Velious, Luclin, and PoP skins, hides, pelts. etc.

excuse me but isn't Polar bear skin a newbiee err lowbiee quest skin? and the list states it'll work as well.


my question about the LQ wolf is because i farm wolves for the meat occasionally (halas pies), so if i got lq wolf pelts, i could do as you suggest, or i could use them in vials. It would all be dependant on time available. I'm not one of those "stay in trader modes all the time" types.

He means stuff for the new newbie armor sets, like armadillo hides and moutain lion scalps. Old quest junk like polar bear and shadow wolf works fine (mostly). I go by age, personally, any pelt that was around at release has a good chance of being usable for vials.

Pelts for Poison Vials

I know that black wolf, puma, and coyote skins (pelts) all work.

I haven't tried mountain lion or LQ coyote skins yet.

Grizzly bear skins definately do not work

Re: Skins

so then the ONLY purpose for them is to make the alchemy bags for shamen.

if you can find other uses, let us know.

I found this in one of Xanthe's guides

Most pelts can be used for this, as long as they are NOT Ruined, ie. You can use a Low Quality Cat Pelt, but not a Ruined Cat pelt. Puma Skins work, as do Black Wolf Skins and Zombie Skins (these stack, which can save a lot of room). Lion Skins DON’T work, and neither do Snake Skins or Shadow Wolf Pelts.. Up until now the new Velious Pelts such as Cougar, Dire Wolf, Kodiak etc don’t work either, but I shall do more testing with these to see if it has changed since I last checked.

Not sure if that's all you need. Usually a run from Freeport to the other side of the commonlands hitting all the vendors gives me enough puma skins, wolf skins, zombie skins, and quality pelts to make a decent size run. Anyway, some of Xanthe's guides are rather helpful.

No, you use the new Thick Grizzly bear skins for the shaman alchemy bags. I think the regular Grizzly bear skins are now used in one of the new Freeport newbie armor quests (but don't quote me on that )

Re: Old World pelts and pottery

Been a bit since I played with it, but LQ cat pelts never worked with pottery.
LQ wolf/bear always did though.

I suspect this is because LQ cat pelts never really existed until the patch that allowed pelts to get downgraded via the skinning knife. Then further with the introduction of Stonebrunt. They don't actually drop anywhere else (old world).

Mind you, they may have finally fixed this...
