Tinkering

Aolene,
You need to do one of the tradeskill specific quests to refine this yourself.
See this page to read up on it.
You will need to talk to Skelontorim Orrthemech in Abysmal to do a couple of tasks to gain the ability.

Goodluck

Your tool box starts with a basic set of items and recipies. Just like the other skill items, you have to 'Experiment' to add a recipe, make the item correctly, and succeed to have it added into your list.

www.Eqtraders.com has a good list of recipes and items made.

Anyone can tinker - only gnomes can get skill rises in tinkering.

The Waterlogged Rigging drops in Gunthak on the beach area across from the lighthouse. It may also drop other places.

I got one off a maniacal zombie which is a huge, undead, female troll zombie thing.

Here's a fun thing: like poison-making and alchemy, when it comes to raising tradeskills past 200, Tinkering does not count. In other words, you can raise tinkering to 250 and 1 other tradeskill without having to put AA points into it.

...and heck, yeah, it's worth it :)

smithy hammer?! i am almost certain i got mine in rivervale near the druids guild. will check my items. but 85% sure

the geerlok fermentation devices were probably made by someone practicing (cheapest way to raise your tinkering skill is to make these things). you will probably start finding more and more of them floating around merchants as the recipe becomes public knowledge.

As for reselling them, I wouldn't bother. Most brewers I know aren't too worried about an extra couple of percent on their skill. So far as I am aware brewing isn't al that difficult/expensive to raise (but I could be wrong there too :p)

Katta Castellum is a Luclin zone. From Shadow Haven you can get to it in two (most direct) ways:
Shadow Haven -> Paludal Cavens -> Hollowshade Moor -> Grimling Forest -> Tenebrous Mountains -> Katta Castellum
or
Shadow Haven -> Echo Caverns -> Fungus Grove -> Twilight Sea -> Katta Castellum
The way Fungus Grove -> Twilight Sea is vir a teleport and is in a 50 plus zone so you might want to consider going the longer way (although i have heard that you can run there without anything agroing you in the zone).

Once you are in Katta Castellum you need to make your way down the winding path to the bank. At the bank, the tunnel to the tinkers is behind the bank on the left hand side as you look at the bank.

Increase the skill level of Rouges in picking locks...

I located steel lined gloves in wc at 1 of the shops there I do not know if this was a 1 time thing or not but never bought them to find out.

Money can be made out of tinkering. But, like most "big money" making tradeskills, it will cost you to get your skill to a point where you will start to earn.

For tinkering, the starting point is 175, when Rebreathers become trivial. Warriors need 2 rebreathers as a part of their epic quest and will pay substantially for them. A rebreather will cost roughly 950pp to make - and I have heard of them being sold for up to 2.5k.

Please note, you can make money tinkering things before this level *but* by far the most needed/popular/best money-making item until this skill level is the rebreather.

Some geerlok devices also sell for a bit of cash - but they trivial at 215.

The Velious recipes (gnomish armours) trivial at above 215 and could be good money makers if you can find the gnomes who need and are willing to pay for it.

lmao anyone can tinker ..but your brother skill will never go higher ..thats why it says gnomes are the only tinkering race

You can't put points into Tinkering. Gnomes already start at a level of 50. You can raise your Tinkering skill at level 16.

An anonymous source close to Verant recently emailed me with this tidbit of information!


i have it on good aurothority The Gem cutter is used for the production of 2 items which where originally in the BETAgame, but due to the inbalancing caused by these items they where dropped from the game, However the mighty wise gods at verant decided to keep the gem chopper in for use in a later quest/tinkerable item....
The time is upon us soon
