There's something I discovered last night as I was plotting my way to 300 in pottery. Now, I'm all for doing things the old-fashioned way, and cheap is king in my book, but I found a recipe that will take you all the way to the top, that's as close to store-bought as pottery gets. All of the components for it can be bought, although there are some intervening steps.
Firstly, you'll need a lot of money. Each combine costs about 220 plat to do, so it's not cheap. Second, you'll need an enchanter, but I assume you're already in good with an enchanter if you do pottery. Lastly, you'll need a brewer. I suggest you do this part yourself, because it's appallingly cheap to do what you need, and you can be an apprentice brewer when you're done.
The recipe is the unfired version of the Faithstone of Decay. You'll need an enchanter to make the magic clay and the distilled mana vial, and you'll need to brew fetid essence. But, all of the components for those enchanted things, and the components for the essence, are vendor stock. The rest is direct vendor stock. As long as you don't fire them, you've got a no-farm route to 300, since the recipe trivials at 335.
For shopping purposes, you'll need:
2 sapphires (105 pp each)
1 poison vial (1p5g7s5cp)
1 celestial solvent (1g2s5cp)
1 scent of Marr (1p5g7s4cp)
1 fishing grub (3 cp)
2 water flasks (1 sp each)
1 large block of clay (1g4cp)
1 idol sketch (1 sp)
...and your sculpting tools, which you get back. Everything is buyable off vendors, and if you're looking for one zone for all of it, the Plane of Knowledge has everything in one zone. Of course, the 214p3g1s1cp price per combine assumes you don't pay for any enchanting or subcombines, or do them yourself.
I don't normally like to see people buying their way to the top, but I figure if this helps someone desperate for those last few points it's worth the risk.
