Complete Tradeskill Guide 6.1 (Serverwide Drop Edition) / Rev Apr 2009

[Zaltak]

Mino Hero's brew aren't expensive and there are NO drops also trivals at 250 iirc.

[Letrii]

Any chance of getting a skillup path for melee/hybrid research?

The rest of the components are store bought and fairly inexpensive.

I am a huge fan of fewer items, frequently will do a more expensive combine if i don't have to farm the drops.

Can be used to further skill by making Rose Absinthe (cited above) or adding in 2 chronal resonance dust for a 324 triv combine of Chronal Absinthe.

Updated.

I had also made a more modern Spell Research guide extending the current one to level 75, but the Melee Research guide seemed to get a small enough response, I did not see a need to alter my Spell Research guide to fit into a format useable for this forum.

I'm working on one that fits the formatting I've put together here, but until then, the following applies (already listed in Spell Research above):

That post just tells how to make things, not an actual leveling guide. Only one I saw requires sub combines that are listed as int caster only.

Which post are you referring to?

[Letrii]

The guide Xerius posted. I also just checked trivial list and there no recipes shown for non-int casters between 262 and 351.

[Drazzminius]

Ahh, okay. I'm still working on putting together the non-Int version as a clicky.

[Altara]

Rose Absinth and Rose Absinthe are two different recipes, same trivial. Clear Absinth (no 'e') is the same trivial as Clear Absinthe (with an 'e') but has fewer components. So making the Rose Absinth (no 'e') with Clear Absinth (no 'e') is probably better skilling up wise. Same trivials, fewer components.

Pottery Leveling Path lists...

288 Unfired Stalwart Mace Head Shaped Mold (Immaculate Silk)

this is actually 268 Trivial.

The Highest Trivial for Immaculate silk is

Unfired Stalwart Large Axe Head Shaped Mold which trivials at 174.

If it helps, when I was feeding my wife materials for her Melee Research, she made http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_...r=035000000000 and http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_...r=035000000000 between 260 and 298.

The Parchments were a common enough drop in my favourite farming zone, and although we are still feeding the tomes into the market in hopes of not flooding it completely, it was fairly effective.

As an aside, it was not intentional that this method would work equally well for pure melee and hybrid, but it was one of the few tome combines at that trivial.

Can cultural armors can only be made for the same race as the crafter? For example, my Drakkin could only make armor for my Drakkin alts?

That is correct. Any race can make templates, but the final cultural armor combines, you can only make in the race of the crafter (woodelf can only make woodelf, drakkin can only make drakkin, human can only make human, etc).

First post so pardon, not sure how to use item names as links.

I would insert Inured Baton in the Fletching section. Triv 244. Making the Shaped Darkwood losses 64p per combine as compaired to the loss of 50p with the baton. Not much better but will save a few plat.

Added the Silk Combines from 200+.

[Methoz]

I would recomend leaving Fine Parchment soulution, vellum parchment solution, and fine vellum parchment solution out of the melee tome research list because they can not be used later for making tomes. They would have to be sold back to vendors at a loss. Even though the Runic Parchment solutions are more expensive to put together initially you would be saving money in the long run if you saved them for later tome combines.

And instead of level 56 Tomes to 258 use Researcher Ceramic Clay to 262.

[Aanuvane]

Can we get this stickied for folks?

[Deloehne]

For tinkering consider iron conduit (Triv 135) followed by the related armor components, e.g., iron conduit cap (trivial 146) and others up to 170 such as leggings and large cores.

Once done with the sunshard dust based combines, move to sunshard pebbles - copper conduit as shown, plus the follow-on iterms like caps, leggings and such which run up to 250.

In effect you get two skill up attempts from many of your dusts, pebbles and ores. Further, you can then feed the spares to jewelry, and then can feed further a skillup path for smithing using the various conduit items.

These are low complexity combines, and, while expensive, the only dropped items are relatively common sunshards of various flavors.

[furioso]

I’m loath to say it, but the fastest way to skill up fletching now is to:
1) go to the marketplace and buy a Trasmogrification Scroll (US $25)
2) change your race or religion to wood elf or Karana
3) make Steel Guardian Arrows
4) change back
