Release Research to 300 0.2

[jande]

ToV tradeskill earring needs research at 300 or better. Now there is an easy recipe if you can lay your hands on stacks of Ethermere essense, problem is it is kind of a pain to make as the Stones of marking does not stack. Recipe is expensive 75pp if you succeed in a combine, 105pp if you fail totally.

Recipe: Guidestone = Stone of Marking (bought in tainted west karana at the druid ring) + ethermere essense (trivial 402)

Setup:
Have a hybrid/spell research kit open (depends on your class)
Make at least one guidestone
Go to Tainted West Karana Merchant Well Wailet at the druid circle
Open up your research kit
Search and select guidestone
Make sure Combine All is NOT checked
Open merchant window from Well Wailet
Select the item Stone of Marking

Run this utility
/mac docombine

It will start combing away if no Stone of Marking is found it will buy one and keep combining.
There is almost no error checking so check every once so often if it is still running.

WAY TO LATE!!! Damn you. I just did 6 toons like this by hand.

 

[Semantics]

I'm the one who tipped him off to the Guidestone!

Took me 5 hours for 50-300 cost roughly 400k for all the Stone of Markings. Looks like 2300 Ethermere Essences

 

[T3ST]

There has been a macro for exactly this

Now to make you cry! (Well try too )

1 - 243 could of been done making Rough Charta Arcanum Solution . All Store bought.
Spell Research Components: Aqua Regia, Fire Opal, Ruby(3), Vial of Muriatic Acid, Vial of Pure Water

Probably lil more expensive, but they sell back and Ethermere essences are cheap in the bazaar.

Or this:

EQTC - Item: Fine Runic Parchment Solution

 

[bziddy]

...or you could do the merchant alliance quest and do the combat spellbook which requires writing ink (which is generally cheaper in the /baz on my server)

In order to request this task, you must have an unmodified skill of 300 in each of the seven major tradeskills (Baking, Smithing, Brewing, Jewelcraft, Tailoring, Fletching, Pottery).

Only to max out the trophy, tried it on another char and could not get the quest.

i think you have to be at step 3+ of shawl aug to get the quest

 

[jande]

Have to have the 7 basic ones at 300, which I don't
baking brewing pottery smithing tailoring jewelcraft, fletching
Alts are fun ! need 4 of those to 300 before I can get quest.

 

[turnittotheright]

if you have the plat...

• 54 Vial of Pure Water (Sub Combine for Further Solutions)
• 174 Fine Parchment Solution or Fine Parchment Solution
• 216 Fine Vellum Parchment Solution
• 243 Fine Runic Parchment Solution

after that a few days forageing cotf and your guidestone mac ftw.

Etherene Essences can't be found anymore at bazaar. But had sufficient Sunshard ore on my Tradeskill-mule.
The "Glowing Energeiac Rod" has a skill of 316, and is as well usefull for the last combines to 300. The only problem is, the final result does not stack.
So I took your nice piece of code, and did some small modifications to sell the "Glowing Energeiac Rod" right to a merchant of my choice, as soon as it's created.

Awesome macro! probably saved me from needing surgery on my hands from excessive clicking lol.
Thank you for contributing.

 

[wymranar]

@jande this is beautiful! I can’t tell you how happy I am as I was just looking for a buy mac, so I could do this 1 at a time.

so happy this exists!

Anyone have a good spot to farm Ethernere Essence? I am in ETWK now foraging it. Also farming it from the burnt bushes / trees. Pretty slow going.

foraging it is really slow - you can kill the near-insta respawning mobs in deadhills back near the tower - they drop it.

still pretty slow.

I do this for 300 research

EQTC - Item: Intricate Enchanted Spell Parchment

and then you can use those to make scrolls - like intricate scroll of static strike

Same, i constantly buy out bazaar if it's reasonable 50-200 pp or set up a /buyer for it to save time.

 

[DallasAg]

$500pp on my server - which might be worth it

Sic - I'll check into your method and see if that route works better.

Thanks guys

@Sic any recommendations on farming spots for Intricate Binding Powder?

Feeling Cute, decided to do some spell research. This is the best of the threads I could find so viola, thread bump.
For Spell Research, I liked to combine this thread (from above post) https://www.lazaruseq.com/Wiki/index.php/Tradeskills_Research with this EQTraders page https://www.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g705
I like the EQTraders post as it shows some additional combines from 55-120 so there isn't as big of a gap from 54-144.

 

[Robban]

it also shows an expensive, but all vendor purchased ingredients, to 300.

what is that?

 

[Redmonkey]

For research the Runic Parchment Solution is all vendor bought and will take you to 243

Aqua Regia, Gnomish Heat Source, Gold Bar, Platinum Bar, Star Ruby, Vial of Muriatic Acid, Vial of Pure Water(2)

 

[Twinkeltoes]

what is that?

That was me being sleepy and missing sunshard ore...nothing to see here...

 

[Psy]

Well, if you clicked the link I referenced in my post it is the Glowing Energeiac Rod on the bottom of the page

EQTC - Item: Glowing Energeiac Rod

it has one stackable 1000 sub combine that is tinkered or jewelry crafted (most people have JC done before research so shouldn't be an issue) https://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=27484

All vendor purchased is what I think you were referring to here and that appears to apply to every ingredient except the ore to make the conduit unless I'm mistakin.

I did the guidestone with overseer essence for the win from 243 to 300. Tedious, but wizzie was able to port back and forth when inventory got full =)

Wow, I must have been super tired when I looked up recipes and missed the sunshard ore. I was getting the crew to 243 first then going to do those next since they aren't stackable. I'll edit my post in shame...

Hah, no need to do that. I took a particular interest in it because I hated doing the stones and thought you found a better mousetrap.
