I'm leveling my Master's Trophy by running DoD 69.1 HARD missions. At level 86, lesson burns yield me 19AAs (1500ish at the moment and doing 90% to AA XP) and this with a healer merc present. The revamped level 75 poison mats drop like mad. I zone in, clear down the tower, then back up one level. Take the tunnel to the first drachnid tower, fight my way to the top, cross the living bridge to the middle tower, then drop all the way down and then fight my way back up. Rinse/repeat for final tower. I have a toon parked at Brovil and at this point I leave the mission and grab new one. You get booted after a few minutes. Zone back in and do it all over. Takes 30 mins or less each run. There are plenty of Consigned XIII Bites that drop so you can use free DD poisons. I know there are cheaper routes to leveling the trophy, but this gives great XP, very good vendor loot (which more than pays for the gold vials) and it's fun as hell to assassinate all these spiders that used to kick my SK/Zerker/Mage's butts back in the day! Only requirements are to max your Anatomy AAs, Double Reposte and Knave's Return Strike. Other AAs help DPS the mobs down quicker when assassinate doesn't proc. Keep in mind that only the drachnids are tagged as humanoid. The Shiliskins are undead, so leave them be.

UPDATE: Still getting over 20 AAs with nearly 2200 AAs spent per lesson burn. And to clarity, some Shiliskins CAN be assassinated. The undead down below definitely are NOT, however. I finished leveling my trophy just a couple days after my above post and I have collected over 200 of each level 75 poison mats (including spider's bite and scorpion's bite mats). So any Rogue looking to level up their trophy on Erollisi Marr, hit me up! I will give you a great price on them.

I hate to say this, but I noticed my trophy evolved to the Peerless Pestle today. What is sad, is that I didn't even notice it was an evolving item until the icon changed. I must have done some quests a while back, and just forgotten that I had done them, and then I did zillions of combines since then. Now it is evolved. I will say, I was doing maybe 300 combines a week, for months. Most of the combines were above 400 tradeskill.
Just wanted to add that with the NEW rogue poisons, it's easy to get this now.
Bite of the Shissar XII. Triv 370.
Hardly any fails either, maybe 3 in every 100.
All store bought in CR at the poisoners merchant. I was getting 13% evolve per 100 combines, including failures. Cheap ingredients too.
Good Luck

Unfortunately they adjusted the store bought combines to a trivial of 260 max.

Hey Evernote, you can make Sloths Poison to get skill of (275). The rest is farming, or if you were lucky like me, had over 800 items in the bank saved for poison making.

As of now on my rogue takes 9combines for 1% on master trophy... makeing Spine Rend (322)... someone by far easiest to make all in PoK and can get Sulfur in Baz for 2-10p each... hope this helps...

I just evolved one of these and I made sure to watch closely how many combines it took to get one % of evolution so I would know how much material to buy to complete it.
After every 8 successes it would evolve 1%. Failures did not register any changes, always evolution bumped only after 8 successes. Skillups can be gained with failed attempts but it appears evolution cannot. The trivial of the recipe did not affect the evolution rate that I noticed, except that it has to be higher than your unmodified skill.
I used 5 different poisons: Spine Rend (triv 322), Mind Melt (triv 322), Scoriae Bite (triv 322), Warlords Rage (triv 308), Twisting Disorientation (triv 328)
By far the easiest poison to make in bulk is Spine Rend. The only component that cannot be player made with vendor purchases is Crystallized Sulfur, which is usually available in large quantities in bazaar. It's a big time sink to make Advanced Poison Vials and Celestial Suspensions in that quantity, but ultimately much much faster and cheaper than anything else I found available.

I was working on leveling this the otherday, and it's about 20 combines per 1% from lvl 6 to 7, with 300 Make Poison making Rage of Incapacitation which is 322 trivial. That means roughly 2000 combines to take it from lvl 6 to lvl 7.

Anyone made it yet? I finished expert, but cannot get the new quest or it is not being given out at this time. OR, I'm doing something wrong. If anyone knows how to proceed to Peerless, please post. Thanks.
Complete any of the previous tradeskill trophies in the series and perform the requisite number of combines above a certain trivial level in that tradeskill to get the trophy to evolve to this.

My Master Trophy is complete, 6/7 tasks done. When I hail either of two NPC's, they will not give anymore quests since I am finished. With that said, I assume I have to do something else to get the troply to evolve to the final Peerless Pestle. Maybe someone else will complete the final step and post.
I will try some more things today, if I suceed, I will post. Thanks for the reply.

Tried hailing both with trophy in main hand and in secondary hand. Gave trophy to both and it was handed back. Tried to combine trophy in my own mortar / pestle and no results either.
I also tried numerous ways to say "Peerless Pestle" to both NPC's and no luck. I think that you might have to take the trophy to someone else for a final turn in. I'll continue to try.

I have PMed you about this as well:
The only way to get from the Master trophy to the 7/7 version is to perform some number (the number varies depending on the level of the trophy) of poisonmaking combines while the trophy is equipped. The trivial on each combine must be over your raw (unmodified) current trivial level but less than 100 over, according to some reports.
No additional hand-ins required. No additional quests involved.
To get level 6 (Master) trophy, you can either evolve it from a level 5 (Expert) trophy via the same method or complete the Master Toxicologist Test, given when your raw poisonmaking skill is 300.

I can say for sure that the combines don't have to be less than 100 over your skill. I am evolving mine right now on Spider's Bite XV (triv 484).
