Thanks for the tip above on the Baked Etherfish!! Definitely the way to go. Finally maxed my trophy today. /happy dance

[AlmarWinfield]

Very well done guide! Such a great help to the community! =)

You're right, Morromid - I've been slacking.



Added in the Class 5's to fill the gap between 202 and 227. Thanks!

If you are a master fisherman (or even a high skilled one), Baked Etherfish (triv 408), I recently discovered, is by far the best recipe to max baking with. It is fished in the new Feerot, the success rate is quite high on fishing it, the recipe only has one subcombine (vegetables) and all ingredients are found in one spot (I chose Abysmal). You can get from 250 to max trophy in a short time with this. MTPs are so obsolete...

Oh, and if you use Dream Meat, I would go with Dreamburger Paradise (triv 415). The only subcombine is the Prepared Dream Meat (water and meat in a bowl), and the resulting sandwhich has some very good stats.

I realize the trivials are quite high on those selections, but I think it will pay off in the long run.

Having used this guide to help me work another toon up to 2100, there are a couple things that I might suggest adding.

Pottery (Ornaments).
Unfired Ceramic Fist Ornament Mold (302 trivial) requires farming cosgrove powder.
Unfired Obsidian Scale Skean Ornament (308 trivial) requires farming dream dust.

Baking (Dream Meat and Brell's Bounty)
Buttered Brell's Bounty Steaks (314 trivial) requires picking up ground spawns.
Grilled Dream Meat Steaks (312 trivial) requires farming dream meat.

Draz, you're slacking off in the Fletching list.

Going from 202 to 227 in a single step is a waste of valuable farmed Serrated arrowheads. There are way too many failures at the low level.
If you like serrated arrowheads people should go from 202 to 212 making Class 5 bone Serrated Tip Arrows.

And you might mention the serrated arrowheads require farming

[Altara]

You could just use the lowest level recommended combine after 54 and use that one from zero for the simplest approach. There used to be some old guides around on the main site from long before abysmal.

[Drazzminius]

For which Tradeskill in particular, Gomer? Most tradeskills can use a simple combine to get them from 0 to 54 (Fish Rolls for example when doing baking) that will get them to where they want to be in no time.

[gomerrpyle]

Is there a guide for people on progression who can't do the abysmal quests for 0-54?

I saw a few did but not all ;(

rubicite blacksmithing from 196-210

Rubicite ore is great for blacksmithing rubicite templates from 196-210.

It does go from 1 to 2 to 3 pieces of ore so watch out.
Rubicite can be gotten cheaply in the bazaar if you watch for it, say 2-10 pp.
Everything else can be purchased and you only lose a few plat in the merchant resale.

Hey Secone!!! Thanks for stopping by! You started a wonderful thing with the original Guide!!!

Happy Holidays!

[Secone]

Small blast from the past :-p
Glad to see the Guide is still alive and ever evolving :-)
Happy tradeskiling, Secone - still retired :-)

Not to mention that the use of Fantastic anything for Sub-300 combines isn't economically sound at this point...

[Aldier]

Fantastic pelts can be used to make hilt wraps that trivial at 282. I am in a limbo state at 260 with quite a bit of high level pelts/silks but there was no point in using them because the combines were too high to evolve my trophy. I am glad that I was able to use some immaculate pelts to raise my skills a bit. I wish there was a similar path with silks, because as it stands I have stacks of high level mats that really don't make much sense for me to use until my skill is high enough to cause some trophy xp.

After a raw skill of 250, the within 100 of raw skill no longer applies to evolving the trophy. Any combine trivial 350 or higher is rounded down to 350 for evolving the trophy. Therefore you can use anything you want after that point and it will offer both skill ups and evolve the trophy.
