In Plane of Knowledge (PoK) by the wooden or small bank, there is a gnome vendor. Purchase 10 stacks of grubs from him. Human vendor just around the corner from him sells water flasks. Purchase 10 stacks of water from her. Brew Fetid Essence to skill 122.

Run around Shadeweavers Thicket and harvest the ground spawn of the Payala fruit under the blue-frond trees. I was able to find around 18 per trip, and by the time I was done running my path they would start to respawn. Combine one fruit and one water flask for Shar Vahl Essence, trivial at 187.

After that it's Minotaur Hero Brew to 248, all components are vendor purchased for that.
