Leveling after 300

[Craftylady]

I have reached the level of 300 in spell research but now I have a problem. Is that the max I can go? The level 65 spells are trivial at approx. 350. The level 66 spells trivial at approx. 360. the rest of the levels trivial on up until 70 is past 400. How do I get there? Does getting trophies work? Does leveling my character work (my enchanter is level 61)? I do have a geerloc quill that brings my level to 315. Do I need to find other items that will raise my level?

Ahh, M'Lady, this is what you need:
Master Researchers Trophy

Because you have done the skilling to 300 this will increase your skill by 12%. As you continue to work with the trophy equipped crafting research material with trivial higher than 300, the trophy will continue to advance until it will "ding" and you will then have the advantage of 15% skill modification.

To obtain this trophy visit the crafty ladies in West Freeport newbie yard. They will give you a series of items to craft, most of which you must then give to them. When the list is complete, they will give you a certificate and a raw trophy. Equip the trophy in primary, secondary or range placing the certificate in the research kit and combine.

There is nothing you can do to increase research base skill, or any base trade skill, beyond the 300 cap. The combines just become more difficult as the trivials increase. Other than the trophy, the only other accomodations are the AA's for Salvage and Arcane Tongues.

I was afraid of that. I have the aa's for arcane tongue and am working on salvage. Thanks, that's what I needed to know. I will also work on my trophys and go from there.
