Pottery skill almost impossible to raise..HELP
# Jun 03 2004 at 6:03 PM Rating: Decent
I am a Vah Shir bard with an Int of 85 and a wis of 90. i am having a bear of a time raising my skill in pottery. I fail over and over again and I dont mean I just try for five minutes.. I have spent hours/days/weeks at the pottery wheel and platnum attempting to raise the Impossible . Is my int and wis seriously affecting my ability to raise my skills? So far I have managed to get myself to 57... but I am now broke. and I still cannot manage to finish the quest of the broken vase which is rather low on the scale of quests. I have failed three times and the quest items to make this thing take forever to get. I dont want to have to do this again only to fail. What am I doing wrong????? Please help me.

I actually ended up killing this character and starting a new one. Can I say WOW. I changed where I put my starting skillpoints and I was lvling in pottery so fast it wasnt funny. My first bard character was simply made poorly before I knew about skills. thanks for you help. (FYI she not only increased in her skills but is now already lv 20 ...so much easier than fighting with a poorly made character).

Greetings,

See my post below on the INT/WIS connection to tradeskills. Basically, you need one of those two as high as possible to help you out. Some other tradeskills have secondary stats that can substitute for INT/WIS, but not pottery as far as I know.

Hope this helps.

Greetings,

Max out your WIS or INT, whichever is easier for you. The highest of those will help out with any tradeskill. Some have secondary skills - STR will help with Smithing, and DEX is alleged to help with Fletching, although there is still some debate about this.

As far as I know, only the highest of WIS or INT will help with Pottery.

Hope this helps!

My pottery skill is 192 and I'd like to know the best (and least expensive) way to increase it. I've been making casserole dishes, but it's a PITA to do all the combines, not to mention it'll be trivial for me soon. What's next on the pottery trail?

Greetings,

You might want to check out:

That's a quick trivial listing for all pottery items - click on the item to find out the recipe and pick the one you want to try out.

Hope this helps.

Actually, what I meant is what is the best and most cost effective way to continue increasing my pottery skill at this point? Keep in mind the ease of obtaining materials, cost of the items, complexity of the combines, etc.

It seems like I have to make the ceramic bands and planar stiens now, but I was hoping there'd be a better way!

Thanks!

My mistake it was the kiln that was telling me I could not increase my skill not the wheel.


The trivials on medium bowls have changed. I stopped gaining skill with them at 75. Any suggestions on moving up without paying 1pp per sketch?

NEVER MIND. I found it in West Freeport at the unmarked building across from the Hogcaller's Inn.



I was looking at EQ Traders for their pottery recipes, and they have one listed "Casserole Dish, NEW." I've checked the Merchants in Kelethin and Felwithe, and they don't have the sketch. Before I go running all over Norrath, does anyone know where I could find the sketch for the casserold dish?

I have one small issue with your suggested path:

Sands of Ro are very hard to come by for lower levels. You need to get it from Sand Giants which are a level 35 MOB (usually). Medium bowls are a much better option than Small Wisdom Deities for lower level characters. When Medium bowls trivial move to poison vials.

Thurgadin gate potion...
# Nov 07 2001 at 8:47 AM Rating: Excellent
Hi.

This is mostly an answer to something Garwin asked about six weeks ago...

I'm inclined to assume that by now you either know what you wanted to, or you got bored and don't care. Either way, the question you asked is almost certainly of interest to a lot of people. (Which is the main reason for posting here, rather than a reply.)

You can make a potion with a single charge of 'Thurgadin Gate'! The potion is LORE & NO DROP. This is a required component for the fourth prayer shawl quest in Thurgadin. Personally, I have made and used about a dozen of these and haven't finished the third shawl as yet.

You make the potion in two stages:
*Make a Velium vial:
(At a pottery wheel.)
3 crystalline silks.
2 glass shards.
1 small brick of Velium.

==1 unfired Velium vial.

(At a kiln.)
1 unfired Velium vial.
1 high quality firing sheet.

==1 Velium Vial.
(This bit is trivial with a pottery skill of 122.)

*Make a potion of Velium vapours:
(Get a Velium purifier from Frundle Frenkler, by saying, "Velium vapors".)
1 Velium vial.
2 small pieces of Velium.


And there ya have it. One potion with a single charge of Thurgadin gate. The cast time seems a little longer than casting gate. I've never tested it, so I don't know if it can be interrupted.

Everything you need is available in Thurgadin, or in the Crystal caverns. Bricks and small pieces of Velium are dropped by Ry'Gorr miners. Crystalling silks are dropped by Crystalline spiders.

Hope this helps a little.

AlAaraaf.

Skilling to 122 for 10pp
# Oct 03 2001 at 7:46 PM Rating: Default
That DEF is almost right except he skipped small bowls which are soooo much cheaper to make. I am a 31 shaman. I don't play this character much lately so his gear is not that good. My charisma when purachasing was 113 and when skilling my wisdom was 125 and dexterity 108. I did this in Halas which is small and therefore not alot of distance between stores. You can buy yer sketches from Skoni by the lake then clay and water at Dok's and walk right over to the pottery wheel at The Golden Torc. I started out messing around w/ clay, you know take one block and a water flask and combine this is trivial at about 20. Then I decided to make small bowls very cheap and very simple except they become trivial at 102. Take one bowl sketch, one small block of clay and one flask water combine til u reach 102. Then go to the medium bowls til 122. I just did this and it cost me very close to 10pp give or take a few gp. So, do not go directly to medium bowls if yer cheap like I am make the small bowls for 1/4 the price.
RE: Skilling to 122 for 10pp
# Apr 01 2002 at 3:21 PM Rating: Excellent
You took the words right of my mouth! I just finished an extended pottery stint in Halas. Some extra tidbits of information:

Firing the small bowls is a total waste of money. The firing sheet costs more than the finished bowl's selling price. Firing the bowl is trivial at a very low level; therefore you won't gain any skill by firing it. It was a bit disturbing to destroy all those unfired small bowls along the way, even though it was ultimately more cost effective than finishing them.

However, medium bowls are different! The cost to craft AND fire a medium bowl is almost equal to (2 copper more than) its selling price. Again, the trivial level for firing them is much lower; how low I'm not sure. But this means that for every successful medium bowl, you'll get your money back. At what level a potter should switch from small to medium bowls bears some experimentation. I'd guess a skill of 80....

Thurgadin is the place. Started with Medium bowls, that maxed at over 100, skill went up very fast with dex buff and holding the book. Now on large bowl, just make it in pottery wheel and destroy if you succeed. Cost me 15pp to go from skill if 1 to 140 and its still going up at that lvl. Large brick clay, large bowl sketch and water. If on Bristlebane give me a tell, banut lvl 56 shamaness.

# Sep 22 2001 at 5:43 PM Rating: Default
I have heard about Thurgadin Gate potions but I haven't been able to find out any information about them. Do they Exist? Someone here on the post said they do. What skill level is needed? What is the final product called? How much does it cost per attempt to make one potion? Are they made purely with pottery skill or does it require alchemy? Is there a web site that describes this in more detail? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Not a lot to debate on but just tell me what you think, especially concerning the pottery. Donka shan and PEACE!

questions about idols
# Aug 14 2001 at 12:09 AM Rating: Default
Currently my skill is at 148. Now the only thing that can up my skill according to eqtraders is poison vials of the various types. This is np, but they become trivial at 188.
Now if I'm understanding correctly Idols (which is of course what I'm really after) can't even begin to be made until 200, beccoming trivial sometime beyond that. So what can I make that will get my from my skill at 188 to 200?
Ideas?
Any of the facts I presented wrong?

RE: questions about idols
# Aug 23 2001 at 11:19 AM Rating: Default
the small wisdom dieties become trivial around your current skill lvl. so you can make those now. the imbued idols would be your only reason to continue skilling up unless you wish to sell poison vials to rogues ( which they would appreciate it :). once you reach your trivial with vials you can start with the imbued idols with a reasonable amount of success. check out the sites in the above post. they are very good. good luck.
Rogue Pottery
# Aug 13 2001 at 6:45 AM Rating: Decent
Right ok. This is for all you Rogues, so listen up. As i am a rogue and was very interested in the poison aspect of my prof. I decided to investigate the idea of making my own. This prolly had something to do with the fact that poison vials and the like, were 6pp+ Each. Geezzz. Any way here we go.

When you are leveling for xp in places such as Unrest Estate, North Ro through to South Ro. think of the future when you might want to take up pottery. Collect all available zombie skins, firstly they are stackable, secondly in these places they are as common Dark elves. Keep them in a safe place until you really want to persue this trade skill.

The quick way to do this is, if you are in South Ro and you think you have enough skins to set you on your way, then visit the Dark Elf merchants in South Ro, the one that sells the pottery stuff, And buy 40 medium jar sketches, 40 ceramic lining sketches and 80 to 100 Medium bowl sketches. Then find a place that sells all three sizes of clay.

The next step will take 2hours and 30 mins out of your time. If you work fast.

Buy a pottery book, from what i have heard is that if you have a pottery book on your character, its suposed to help with the skill, wether this is true or not, is anyones guess. But needless to say its good to refer to if you get stuck.

Ok. Start with the Medium Jar sketches, follow the method for the Medium Jar, you will need water, in all case(but not summoned). This is inportant, DO NOT buy any firing sheets. For a start, they take a big bite out of your money, and it becomes trivial to fire an item well before it becomes trivial in making the item.

Medium Jar become trivial at about 25 to 30.

Then follow the steps for Ceramic lining, water is again used in all cases. this should raise you skill to about 40 to 50 as soon as it becomes trivial, or you run out of materials, then move to next step.

Then medium bowl. as above follow the steps in all cases. this becomes trival at 100+ just keep going until you run out of materials.

And as i said before DO NOT buy any firing sheets, cos they cost money. any and all unfired items you make just drop to the ground or destroy.

As soon as you become a master potter, which took me 2 hours and 30mins, you can then consentrate on making poison vials, this is where you need the skins, make as many as you can and fire later.

It cost about a couple of gold to make 1 vial, seems fair to say, that this is very much so cheaper, than buying from a vendor.

I also disagree on something. The price. If making a regular poison vial i have no problem with the figures but try making lined or sealed the cost then is well near 2 platinum per vial.

The sealed sketch alone costs me 1p 8g and some change and even if each vial were made with zombie skins harvested by yourself the time and effort involved is considerable.

A regular poison vial sells for about 1p the lined and sealed ones are going for between 2 and 4p right now on Karana Server and I am pissed that ppl are selling so cheaply. These lined and sealed vials are worth at east 5p each.

If you would like to argue the point then it is obvious you have never made either of them yet. The sealed is easy to make but costly. The lined is cheaper but much harder to make. Think Not?

In order to make the lined you have to make the ceramic lining first then you combine that to make the lined a real pain.

The only thing I disagree with, is the comment to not buy firing sheets. When you make an unfired container it is worthless, but when it is fired it sells for 6-8silver. The firing sheets only cost a couple of silver, and although the profit then is only a few silver, it helps offset the cost somewhat. Especially if you're talking about wasting 60-80 containers.

North freeport is good too, all three really close to each other (water and sketches by the bank, clay at the blacksmith shop by the bard guild).

GET SKILL TO 122
# Jul 30 2001 at 2:08 PM Rating: Default
to get your skill to 122 in a jiffie, if uīre a dark elf, since as far as i know , itīs the most comfortable place to do it, since the vendor is 10 feet from the wheel and kiln.
have somone buy you 40-50 medium jar sketches in nfp, the store on your left when u exit the bank, and 180-200 sketches of medium bowl.
total cost will be about 6 pp.
head back to neriak, into commons, and the ogre lady that stands at the bar left of the fort sell clay, in the bar up the little path there , down at the lower floor is a human that sells water flasks (he is turning away from u when u get down there).
k now u have all u need to skill to 122

just put 1 water flask, 1 block of clay, 1 medium jar sketch in the wheel and combine. do this until itīs trivial, (skill 36) and when u succeed , destroy what u get, u donīt want to fire it, since fireing sheets costs alot compared to what u wanna spend on this.

when trivial sell your sketches for jar , and move to medium bowl, same routine, 1 flask of water, 1 block of clay , 1 medium bowl sketch and combine. again destroy the item if u succeed.

this will take u to skill 122 in about 25 minutes.

remember to hold down ctrl when u click on a stack to pick one from it , saves loads of time.

this will cost u about 25-30 pp.

after this start collecting zombie skin, light weight, and cheap, check stores for it , most ppl sell them to stores so u can find loads of it with some vendors.

when u have loads of zombie skins , uīll need a few hundred, go back to mr.ogre lady and boy a few stacks of poison vial sketches, this will cost a bit , also buy SMALL block of clay and more water flasks, combine on wheel and keep the item if u succeed. buy hq firing sheet (might be just a quality one, donīt remember) and combine in kiln, this will make u a poison vial. these u can sell to various ppl.
this will get u to 148 skill

next move on to lined poison vial, same thing but sketches are more expensive. that will get u to 168. estimated cost to get from 122 to 168 is something iīm not willing to guess on but to 122 itīs about 25-30 pp.

enjoy.

Does anyone have this kind of information for a half-elf? This is exactly what I was looking to find, except for a place where halfelven Rangers are welcome. Does Freeport have the vendors, kiln, and wheel? How about Kelethin or Thurgadin? Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks.

Thurgadin is a great spot to do this, the pricing for low faction is offset by the fact that everything is within easy reach... I'm a Rogue though, so any merchant I need is indifferent. ;)Freeport is rough due to the fact that the merchants are all over the place, same with Kelethin (I hate Kelethin).

Later note: Got skill to 90ish in a couple of hours in Thurgadin. Did it all with Small Bowls (small block of clay, water, bowl sketch, cost is the same as any other starter item) and no skill points to start out with. 2 of the merhcants you need are in the bank next to the wheel. Whole thing probably cost me 30-40pp. Only drawback to Thurgadin is getting there at lower levels and the fact that a lot of higher level people (with a high level pottery skill) want to use the wheel. Still can't make poison vials though...

You can follow the steps as described but do them in North Freeport. Sketches are sold in the building immediately to the left of the bank as you exit the bank. Water is sold in the next building over and there is a wheel and kiln in a little grass area on the left just before you would leave the marketplace. You can purchase clay from a vendor in Groflah's Forge near the bard guild. You can also do the same in Kelethin, but there is a little more running around to do to gather all the items needed and get them back to the wheel and kiln.
Wheel and Kiln Locations
# Jul 30 2001 at 10:38 AM Rating: Decent
All,
I've decided to start Pottery. My number one challenge, tho, has been in best location to do it. Try as I might, I cannot find a good reference for where wheels and kilns are located (not just what city, but where in the city), as well as which wheels/kilns are located close to vendors who sell enough ingrediants to go to master. Any help? Thanks.

Is Enchanted Clay needed for Diety idols? Any of the recipes that I have found do not say you need enchanted clay. Does anyone have any ideas?

The Enchanted clay is need to for the Idols, not for the deities. I've not made an idol yet, but the recipe certainly calls for enchanted clay.

Clarified Mana (Enchanter Spell lvl 34 I think)+ Enchanted Clay( Enchanter spell lvl 8 I think) + Idol sketch + the diety specific stone( imbued plains pebble for Karana etc.)= Idol

why to do pottery
# Jul 06 2001 at 9:13 AM Rating: Decent
I thought I would help those wondering as to why to do pottery. First off, it levels up super fast; below skill of 100 I never went more than three tries without a lvl. Second, its cheap; I killed madmen in the deserts and oasis to get water and went to skill of 130 with 30pp i think. Lastly, its useful for many others; I have a skill of 168 and can make any cooking untensil (skewers, pots, smokers, cookie cutters, muffin tins, cake rounds, jars, mixing bowls, bowls, pie tins), I can make Wisdom dieties for my clr and dru friends and guildmates, I can make poison vials for rogues or monks doing the Wu armor, and as an ENC for my mana potion spells, or enchant clay spell.
