Progression servers

[leffe]

anyone got a smooth guide for tradeskills on the progression servers? they seem to have removed alot of vendors that sells some needed items and such. most interested in Tailoring and smithing.

As far as tailoring:

0 - 15 Silk thread, swatches, and/or stretched kobold leather
16 - 26 Tattered armor
27 - 36 Raw silk armor
37 - 41 Large tailored bag
37 - 56 Studded armor
37 - 66 Woven Mandrake
67 - 76 Picnic Basket
37 - 82 Cured Silk
77 - 88 Hand Made Backpack
89 - 108 Reinforced Armor (with hq wolf skin only)
77 - 115 Tailored Quiver
116 - 128 Wu's Fighting Collar
129 - 135 Wu's Fighting Wristbands
136 - 144 Wu's Fighting Mantle
145 - 151 Wu's Fighting Sleeves
152 - 158 Wu's Fighting Shirt

Far far easier to not bother with HQ wolf skins, and just use low quality to high quality cat pelts for everything from leather padding to tailored quivers.

Wolf skins and bear pelts are too rare to bother with compared to the often dropping cat pelts in East Karana and Stonebrunt.

Progressive Smithing

Also,

Smithing:

1 - 18: Metal Bits
19 - 35: Studs
36 - 41: Scaler
42 - 74: Dairy spoon
75 - 90: Banded mask
91 - 92: Banded gorget
93 - 95: Banded bracer/boots
96 - 102: Banded gauntlets
103 - 106: Banded Helm
107 - 108: Banded leggings
109 - 115: Banded mail
116 - 122: Embroidery needle
123 - 132: Bile Spine
133 - 162: Cultural sewing kits (If human or barbarian, just smelt fine steel weapons into high quality ore to save money.)
163 - 163: Fine plate visor
164 - 166: Fine plate collar
167 - 168: Fine plate bracer
169 - 175: Fine plate vambraces
176 - 179: Fine plate helm
180 - 182: Fine plate greaves
183 - 188: Fine plate breastplate

Beyond that point there's not much one can do, as many cultural recipes have been disabled and other recipes require items from Luclin and Lost Dungeons of Norrath. Try some of your cultural armors though, maybe you'll get lucky.

Don't think so, I think those were introduced in luclin with Xanthe's Earring of Nature.

Oh.. I guess they're older recipes than I thought or just weren't deactivated. On another note, how are people rich enough to do enough combines of Gem Studded Chains to combine succesfully o.0

[Silvermink]

Sickles are a 300pp+ combine with almost 0 chance of success at 188 skill. They are active on progression. At least they show in the forge recipes haven't actually tries one.

I have seen 270+ jewelers. Success on chains is decent at that point.
