Pottery
The potter can make vessels that can hold things and that are often used by other trades.
What are the best strategies on developing and using the pottery skill? What recipes are the most and least useful? Which classes are best suited to be potters? Which cities are best to practice your trade? Can you make a profit off of pottery, and if so how?
Post your strategies on how to best use and develop the pottery skill, and read, rate and comment on those posted by others.

No such beast exists.
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.

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!

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.

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

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?

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?

From there, it's all about collecting a buttload of Zombie Skins before you can progress, so the skill advances are a little slower.

Down and Dirty Pottery ~ by Cormath Loremaster
-----------------------------------------------
***** ALL pottery wheel (first step) must have a flask of water *****
Pottery is a two-step process. First, combine the material, sketch
and a flask of water on a pottery wheel. Second, place the product
with the firing sheet(s) in the kiln to finish.
Clay conversion rates (Trivial at 21)
3 Small Blocks of Clay, Flask of Water = 1 Block of Clay
3 Blocks of Clay, Flask of Water = 1 Large block of Clay
1 Block of Clay, Flask of Water = 1 Small block of Clay
1 Large Block of Clay, Flask of Water = 1 Block of Clay
(For the first one one or two, save yourself the cost of the firing
sheets by not firing the product in the klin and just destroying it.)
Clay Jar, Medium (Trivial at 36)
Block of Clay, Medium Clay Jar Sketch
Q Firing Sheet
Clay Jar, Large (Trivial at 41)
Block of Clay, Large Clay Jar Sketch
Q Firing Sheet
Pot (Trivial at 56)
Large Block of Clay, Pot Sketch
HQ Firing Sheet
Smoker (Trivial at 82)

HQ Firing Sheet
Imbued Idols (Trivial at 200+)
Large Block, Idol Sketch, Vial of Clear Mana, sculpting tools, imbued gem

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.

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.

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....

Make a barbie rogue, get as high as possible in pottery for the vials and a little money, if I haven't hit the make poison mark yet, master tailoring for a little money maker (I'll be that annoying barbie rogue constantly auctioning off tailored backpacks), hit make poison skill and master/grand master it (I'm not sure how high you can get in the skill). Not a lot to debate on but just tell me what you think, especially concerning the pottery. Donka shan and PEACE!
Although I recomend Raul's site over EQ traders, you should check out both.
Raul Quanilesti's Ever Quest Skills Page
http://www.eqtradeskills.com/
EQ Traders Corner
http://www.eqtraders.com/
However, www.eqtraders.com is an EXCELLENT site. It really annoys me to read all these posts, when 80% of them can be answered by this one site. And 19% can be answered by the tradeskills section of eq.castersrealm.com.
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?
Don't seem to be too many that have walked this path yet....if you have I'd really appreciate you impressing me with your experience and knowledge.
I'm an apt pupil, and I'm all ears.

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.
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.

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.
Many Thanks.

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...
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.
