What is up with this? I have seen on two different places someone saying that you can get two "free" skill-ups with these. I have tried looking around, but cant find anyhting regarding it. Could someone explain it?

Basically the thing is that the strands of ether need a minimum skill of 220 to make them, and they trivial at 212. BUT, if your skill is 210, you can get to 220 with a 5% geerlok, making 2 'free' skillups. This also works if you're fortunate enough to get the 15% shears off Shei Vintras in Akheva, in which case you'll be able to use this route from 196 I believe. -
They're referred to as "free" not because they're cheap themselves (the strands and curing agent can be expensive if purchased rather than self-gathered/made) but because compared to the alternative means of skilling up they're relatively cheap to such an extreme that they almost seem "free".Comment

My first GM was brewing so making the ethereal tanning agents and ethereal tempers was nothing. I had an entire deluxe toolbox full of bricks of ethereal energy that I had either looted or gotten cheap all ready for when smithing hit 210. Then I very anti climacticly hit 211 & 212 in about 15 combines. When Tailoring hit 210 I had the opposite results and it took me about 100 combines for those 2 points. I kept telling myself that this was the best time to hit a skill up drought since this was as easy I would have it before 250.Master Artisan Kahmon

hammer of the ironfrost which i want for smithing. the gauntlets i dont think casters can wear and not a large race so the belts out for smithing. get them both and its "free" combines from 192 to 212 and 220 +15% puts you at someone elses 240 + 5%.
