If you have been grinding away in ToV, you likely have tons of mats like Restless Ice Slush, Restless Meat Slurry and Velium Infused Logs. These items aren't exactly tearing up the /bazaar, but they can be used to cap trade skills.

Restless Meat Slurry with one store bought item: http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=65423&menustr=035000000000
-- you can skip fishing in Argath for Raxil

Restless Ice Slush with one store bought item: http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=65443&menustr=035000000000
-- you can go from Minotaur Hero's Brew (248) to 300, skipping the champagne pain.

Velium Infused Logs w/one store bought item: http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=64565&menustr=035000000000
-- you get to skip the farming/buying required to go from 282+

These aren't ToV, but not everyone knows about them. Get your basic 7 skills to 300, then do the Merchant Alliance Quest (https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=6848) and set up a buyer in /bar buying Writing Ink.

You can do the Combat Spellbook: http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=40423&menustr=035000000000
-- This gets you past the store bought levels on Research.

If you are are Tinkerer, set up your buyer to buy Black Powder Pouches as well and you can make Black Powder Bombs: http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=40422&menustr=035000000000
-- Again, saves a ton of farming.

Oh, I did not realize the tinkerer ones and the research ones were so easy :)

I would also add that The following drop like candy if you pick the right expansion in the Overseer

Chronal Resonance Dust For Seeds of Destruction.
Relic Fragments For The Darkened Sea
Dream Dust For House of Thule.
Ethemere Essence for Call of the Forsaken

Along with a ton of Silks for every expansion after Seeds of destruction.
 
If you have a forager (if you're doing tradeskills and haven't created a forage toon what are you waiting for?) You get 3 more recipes.

Velium Tainted Glob of Slush Water to make http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=65540&menustr=035000000000

this is way cheaper than the star ruby route. The downside being they don't stack so you will have to destroy them 1 at a time, but still better than flushing all the money on star rubys + the time spent laqing them. Jande Created a mac to easily destroy things that I'll post the code for (not sure how to post an attachment.) You'll need to edit it for the item. or you can just manually destroy things. Or you could fill up with Tool boxes and then just destroy them when filled.

Velium Permeated Vegetables to make http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=65417&menustr=035000000000

It does have 2 subcombines but they are easy. The roots can be saved for later use with the surf and turf.

Cloudberry to make http://www.eqtraders.com/search/reverse_recipe_search.php?item=64500&menustr=035000000000

These can be saved for the Blood of Velious.

@bziddy i would definitely skip the merchant alliance quest if you’re looking for shortcuts.

The best/fastest way to get researching to 300 is using jande’s macro to create guidestones in EWK.
 
 
I'm kinda pissed I just saw this lol.

If it's any consolation, I spent ages without knowing it and manually destroying crap. It was only when I got so pissed I was going to add that functionality to the macro myself, to discover it already had it.

The wheel gets reinvented frequently, just the shape differs :P

Ethernere Essence is very expensive on my server right now. MA may not be for everyone, but I found it very easy -- had most of the stuff on hand.

If you have a pile of EEs, then guidestones are fine. I liked the writing ink path (and black powder was awesome for tinkering).
 
If you are are Tinkerer, set up your buyer to buy Black Powder Pouches as well and you can make Black Powder Bombs: http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=40422&menustr=035000000000
-- Again, saves a ton of farming.

If you're pounding your way through ToV no doubt you've amassed a fair amount of "Velium Impacted Raw Diamonds"
Don't buy powder, make Velium Core Mana Batteries with all those diamonds.


Don't buy the hype on crafted only for Class Six mana batteries.

Plane of Innovation
Plane of Knowledge
Stratos: Zephyr's Flight
Western Wastes (CoV)

You're welcome ;)

And if you are missing the ToV diamonds then use EoK/RoS Conflagrant diamond. I am sure the bazaar would be able to help you out in the thousands for next to nothing. Won't recommend making "Perpetual Storm Mana Battery " need radiances and a extra diamond for those.

If you can afford these 2 recipes (5x 104pp = 520pp per combines) you can afford the bazaar :D

ps these mana batteries has no vendor buyback, each success is a 520pp loss.
 
You can sell them on baz, or use them for your tradeskill earring, or keep them as a souvenir. Turn them into Belts. Turn them into power sources. etc. Plenty of plat to be had here.

Power Sources

Belts
 
Bit late to the party on this one, but didn't see it mentioned above.

Air-Infused Spring Water can now (CoV) be purchased from Olwen in WW. Can use this plus a few other very cheap merchant items to make Unfired Spherical Bottle.

Makes getting pottery to 300 trivial now, and no need to forage slush water.
