2 skill levels for free?

[Towd]

I just started reading these forums last week while out of town on business (needed some EQ related material.)

It seems I saw at least two references to getting 2 skill levels for free in the 210-220 range. Since I'm at 205 this was good news.

Since I've been home I've gone thru all the forums again and can't find what I remember seeing. Perhaps I was dreaming.

Anyone have any idea what I might have seen?

Thanks

Cured Ethereal Energy trivials at 212 but you have to have an effective skill of 220 to try it. If you have 210 and a geerlock your effective skill is 220.5, so you can do the combine, and still maybe get the skill points 211 and 212. (If you have a higher modifier, you can start earlier, of course Akhevan Shadow Shears are sadly hard to come by, though.

[edit - took another look... the ethereal silk swatch used in the recipe for Cured Ethereal Energy is likewise a 220 required, 212 trivial.]
