Bought way to 300?

[silent_hand]

Is there a store bought method to 300? I know mistletoe sickles are no longer viable, I seem to remember some enchanted metal bar of something?

Am human at 289, was all going well with tungsten until the new TS stuff came in and prices went from 1-200 to 2-3k.

300 in everything except smithing, would like to get it finished.

I don't think there is a way but again I am still new to this tradding thing. I got from around 275 to 300 by doing Sacred symbol. Depend on servers so I am not sure how much per each combine. Mine cost around 1.4k per each. Hope this help

There is no longer a vendor only path to 300. Mistletoe Cutting Sickles will take you to 250 and from there you need dropped components.

[Zaltak]

Inferno Secpters used to take you to 300 but they have been Nerfed:-P Enchanted Vellium bits will take you to 222 iirc.

Pure Enchanted Velium Bars

Do a search on this site for "Pure Enchanted Velium Bars"

The velium bars are gonna cost ya about 265p each and you will need someone to enchant them.
You will need to do the Coldain Ring Quest to step 4 to get your Coldain Smithing Hammer if you don't already have one.
You'll have to make the purified water but all the ingredients are available in POK.
Unless you are working on Jewelcrafting you'll end up with a worthless product. The pure enchanted velium bars are no drop so you can't sell to vendor and you cannot tribute them.
And finally, the recipe will not show up on the list so you have to put the forge in experimental mode and put each individual piece inside like we had to do in the old days.

Hope this helps. It's not the easiest thing to do and it's not exactly cheap but it should get you to 300 without getting scalped by bazaar price gougers.

Agreed with Jerhan... You can get a few attempts at <1K per for the prices some people are asking on the higher-grade ores. (Saw someone yesterday trying to sell Fused Loam at 1500 per --- I shook my head and continued on.)

However, the downside is that you have to find an enchanter to get the bars enchanted for you. It's the same problem I'm having with the Mistletoe Cutting Sickle -- I don't have a Tunarean cleric about who can cast Imbue Emerald. There are lots and lots of dark elf and dwarf clerics but few high elves, and my little druid follows Karana, not Tunare.

Or buy/borrow one from someone who has because they are tradeable.

Doh

This means I am going to have to set the trophy back to the 1000 combines.

gonna make some people that got a boost to a full trophy not happy.

I am not sure I can make this combine lower instead :/

ACK! Noooooooo!

I never did any of that particular combine myself in leveling my trophy, and I'd guess not many have used it in this way. Setting the trophy back would simply penalize all of us, wouldn't it?

Does the fully evolved trophy "remember" >300 trivial combines that are made? I.e., if one was affected by the repercussions of this proposed change, would one get credit for non-trivial, successful combines made in the interim period when the trophy required fewer combines? If not, I think making this change would be especially harsh.

[Aldier]

I do not think that anyone who already has a level 7 trophy will be reduced.

Only those that have a partially evolved trophy could be effected.

[Ngreth Thergn]

It would hit some people.

People that were fully evolved before I made the change to reduce it, should keep it.

The people that got shortcut because of the reduction will have to go back and finish.

I am reasonably certain that it does not "set" the exp number to the max, and just leaves it at the over number it was,

I may be able to adjust the trivial on that combine since it is old also.

[Aldier]

I may be able to adjust the trivial on that combine since it is old also.

This might be an easier solution as not even looking at the trophies, this combine can be used to reach 300 skill.

However, since it is not learnable, it does add a bit more work to the combine.

Or as it pertains to the trophy, adjust the trivial to 300. It will not give experience to the level the trophy from 6 to 7, but would remain difficult enough as the quest needs.

[Roanne]

Then just change the trivial on MCSs back while youre at it.

[mewkus]

A simple modification would be to add another ingredient to the recipe for it. Make this new item a temporary/lore item that you can get just from hailing a nonaggro npc in PoTorment that despawns after giving out the item and doesn't pop again for ~30 minutes and is somewhere past the first couple of mobs.

This wouldn't add a whole lot more complexity to the quest, but would virtually remove this recipe from being used as a vendor bought path to 300.
