In revision 2, I have fixed many of the problems that I had encountered in my first guide. I have also added recipes in this edition for the ease of the readers. First, I would like to touch upon my statement about use of practice points. As you get higher levels, you’ll get more practice points than you know what to do with. Off the bat, you can get to skill 21 for whatever skill you choose. Although, some skills are very easy to advance at lower levels, so you might not even want to bother with using the points. jewelry, tailoring, and blacksmithing definitely need all 21 practice points due to the expense and time required in doing so

Skills:

Baking

Trivial Level	Recipe
1-26	rat meat sandwiches = rat meat + bread
27-31	wolf meat sandwiches = wolf meat + bread
32-46	batwing crunchies = batwing + frosting, wolf steaks = wolf meat + spices + jog of sauces, and gator steaks = gator meat + spices + jug of sauces
47-68	beer braised bear, gator, and lion = meat + spices + short beer
69-82	fish fillets = fish + jug of sauces
83-102	cookies = clump of dough + spices + frosting
103-113	shaped cookies = clump of dough + spices + frosting + shaped cookie cutter
114-135	fish rolls = fish + batwing
136-142	fire beetle eye, berry, vegetable, meat, and fruit pies = clump of dough + item + pie tin
143-147	Chocolate Cookies = clump of dough + spices + frosting + winter chocolate
For Fun	Wedding Cake = white chocolate + clump of dough + frosting + cake round
For Fun	Birthday Cake = winter chocolate + clump of dough + frosting + cake round

Notes:

Unfortunately for non-foragers it is much easier to use foraged fruits and vegetables to advance skill in brewing. Personally, I have sold stacks of foraged items for 5-10pp, it will be worth it for you to purchase them from Rangers and Druids.

The most helpful piece of information that I have found in the brewing and baking skill advancement is that fish and batwings can be bought in Freeport. Batwings are sold at the second floor of the casters guild in West Freeport. Fish can be bought at the port authority in East Freeport.

179-180	gold and pearl
181-183	gold and topaz
184-185	gold and peridot
186-188	gold and emerald
189-191	gold and opal
192-200+	platinum and malachite (this is trivial at 218, but only one skill can surpass 200)

Notes:

To be a successful jeweler you must be frugal (read CHEAP). I have read in many places that it is cheaper to switch to the next metal when certain gems become trivial. Now, on face value that seems true, but I have found this to be more expensive. For example, at charisma 115 in Thurgadin, I can make an electrum peridot bracelet for 13.125pp which is trivial at 114. I can make gold malachite items for 10.552pp which is trivial 146. Now this seems cheaper, but you are going to sell it back, and you will have more success on the electrum. When working at this level, I had failed 1-2 times every 10 attempts with electrum, and 4-5 out of 10 tries with gold. Do not use loot only gems (i.e. black pearls, sapphires) to advance skill, save those for when you want to make nice jewelry.

Pottery

Trivial Level	Recipe
1-23	Medium Jars = a block of clay + medium jar sketch + water flask
24-36	Ceramic Linings = a small block of clay + ceramic lining sketch + water flask
37-122	Medium Bowls = block of clay + medium bowl sketch + water flask
123-148	Poison Vials = small block of clay + vial sketch + water flask + animal skin*, fired with HQ firing sheet
149-168	Lined Vials = small block of clay + lined vial sketch + water flask + animal skin*, fired with HQ firing sheet
169-188	Sealed Vials = small block of clay + sealed vial sketch + water flask + animal skin*, fired with HQ firing sheet

Notes:

I would not recommend firing anything until you start making vials, you will not make any money back from
buying firing sheets, and firing goes trivial much sooner than actually making the unfired item.

Only certain skins will work in making vials. These skins have been verified to work:

LQ/MQ/HQ bear pelts
LQ/MQ/HQ cat pelts
Polar bear skins
Puma skin
White/black wolf skin
Grizzly bear skin
Zombie skins
Blackburrow gnoll skin
Mist wolf

These will not work:

Anything ruined
Deathfist pawn scalp
Giant rat pelt
A piece of rat fur
Shadow wolf pelt
Giant snake skin
Silk swatch
Kerra guard skin

1-26	Sharpened Weapons = sharpening stone + rusty weapon

42-65	Lanterns = metal bit + lantern mold + water flask + bottle
66-115	Skewers = metal bit + skewer mold + water flask
116-135	Sewing kits = metal bit + needle mold + thimble mold + water flask
136-168	Banded armor items = metal sheet + water flask + mold
169-200+	Fine plate armor items = smithy hammer + leather backing + water flask + a number of medium quality sheet of metal + mold
