Don't bother with making the giant and small mosquito wing flies for tribute anymore. They are now worth 30 and 35 tribute, rather than the 1150 previously. Same with the hornet wing flies. Sure glad I got mine up pretty high first.

I belive all Playermade items for tribute got wacked hard with the nerf bat. When they nerfed Trade Skill gear for profit by selling to vendor. One of the prices we had to pay for the Trade Skill Mastery AAs I guess.

This one worked right up to the last patch, which is why I am warning people not to take the time. Long ago they nerfed a lot of TS items. I can get 10 points for a potion that costs 700pp to make, doesn't seem right.

I wouldn't say all TS items, but any TS item that is made from NPC bought stuff seems to all be nerfed. TS stuff made from non trivial mob drops still have a few items worth doing.

I still have a recipe I use from LDoN gems, costs 10P and trades for 330 points, but have to get the gems yourself now as nobody sells them anymore.

Would you like to share? It will probably get nerfed soon anyway.

Kinda sad that my impulse is to keep it a secret for fear of it being nerfed....

Enchanted gold geode rings. Used to buy the geodes in the bazaar for about 10-20, gold bars 10 but the few I've seen lately are going for 100+. They trivial at 211 so maybe that's why they've escaped the bat so far. Luckily I bought every one I could find for a month back about 12 months ago, still have a bag or two full of em. Most gems that can't be bought from vendors have a recipe somewhere that trades for a decent amount, but have to check lucy to see, but in almost every case it has to be the magical version. Polished quartz rings went for 700 if memory serves, ditto for platinum amethyst. Think those three are all the LDoN gems. If you velium sitting around you can do quartz ones worth 1100.

Also if you have money to burn, you can buy architect BP's when you see them for 3k-4k, turn in for 10k

Other good tribute items are spider fur stuff and other drops from Velks. I don't usually use tribute so I usually just sell my stuff from there in the bazaar (I do put some into guild tribute but I've racked up over 25K for the guild and we never use it).

I usually sell the spider fur cloaks for like 40 pp. I think they tribute for 130ish, would have to check again to make sure. Alot of the kobold dropped stuff in Velks tributes for a decent amount. The barbed ringmail from Tpos Icepaw at the upper kobold camp (with the tents) tributes for 3300 and he isn't that rare of a spawn.

I also tribute cultural robes as they don't sell for much, are fairly cheap to make with bazaar purchased items (usually run me around 20-30pp per combine at the high end), and I'm still working on my tailoring so I can gain skill-ups. I'm currently making Robe of Wings when I find the components at a decent price and it tributes for 130-180ish.

Just found a new tribute item:

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=23330

Had two of these from doing Takish LDoN's and was actually using one on my shaman when I went to the tribute master to turn in my geode rings. I clicked through all my gear to see what stuff was worth and the cape? 18,379 tribute. Went to bazaar and saw one for sale for 2200 plat, bought it and turned all three in on my wifes and my mains, so we set for awhile.

It dropped when we were still doing mid 50's LDoN's, dunno how rare it is.
