List of items/racial traits that enhance tradeskill/harvesting abilities

[ashen1973]

<p>Hi all There have been a few posts recently regarding various items that increase your crafting skill, so I thought I'd list the one's I know of.  </p><p>Artisans Tunic equipped in chest slot Must be level 5 to equip +1 to all crafting abilities Reward for completing the low-level crafting quests, for the NPC within the tradeskill instance Link to quest -  <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=2088" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=2088</a></p><p>   Fallen Dynasty item equipped in charm slot must be tradeskill lvl 50 to equip +1 to success chance and +10 to your main ability (i.e sculpting for Carpenter, Metalshaping for Armorer) Reward for completing one of various quests in The Village of Shin (also receive a  Wantia artisans satchel, a harvestable only bag with 36 slots) You must have a tradeskill level of 50+ and have completed 'Improving relations with the locals'. There is then a different quest for each profession. No combat is involved, but most do require some harvesting.   Carpenter quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3004" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=3004</a> Weaponsmith Quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3045" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=3045</a> Tailor quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3016" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=3016</a> Sage quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3006" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=3006</a> Alchemist quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3011" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=3011</a> Provisioner quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=2980" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=2980</a> Woodworker quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3012" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=3012</a> Armourer quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=3005</a> Jeweller quest -  <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest....l?eq2quest=3029</a></p><p> Pick of Underfoot Clickable House item When clicked grants 'Talent of the Underfoot' - Increases crafting success by 1% for 1 hour.

When equiped they reduce the time it takes to harvest a node. There are 2 different sets of tools, one set made by Woodworkers, the other by Tinkerers   Woodworker made - each of these decreases harvesting time for one type of node Saw - foresting Fishing pole - fishing Shovel - gathering Trap - trapping Pick - mining   there are different tools available for different tiers Ash  (i.e Ash Fishing pole)  equipable at level 20  (artisan or adventure) . Decreases harvesting time by 0.5 seconds. Briarwood (i.e Briarwood saw) equipable at level 30. Decreases harvest time by 1 second. Teak (i.e Teak trap) equipable at level 40. Decreases harvest time by 1.5 seconds. Sandalwood (i.e Sandalwood shovel) equipable at level 50. Decreases harvest time by 2 seconds)   These items are not stackable. Equiping more than one of the same type of tool gives no further benefits.  </p><p>Tinkerer made the Tinkerer made items are slightly different from the Woodworker tools. Miscalibrated - all equipable at level 20 . reduces harvest time by 1 second and increases skill by 5 (mining by 10) Miscalibrated Automated Shears - Gathering and foresting Miscalibrated Automated Watersafe net -  Fishing and Trapping Miscalibrated Automated Pickaxe -  mining </p><p> Calibrated - all equipable at level 46. Reduces harvest time by 1.5 seconds. Increases skill by 7 (mining by 15) Calibrated Automated Shears -  Gathering and foresting Calibrated Automated Watersafe net - reduces Fishing and Trapping Calibrated Automated Pickaxe - mining </p><p>Overclocked  - all equipabl;e at level 68. Reduces harvesting time by 2.5 seconds. Increases skill by 10 (mining by 20) Overclocked Automated Shears -  Gathering and foresting Overclocked Automated Watersafe net -  Fishing and Trapping Overclocked Automated Pickaxe - mining  </p><p>Racial traits that enhance crafting skills Ok, I know these are not items, but if you are trying to make a crafter character and give him/her/it every chance you can, </p><p>then picking a specific race can give you a small boost. Every so many levels you get to pick a racial trait. Each race has 2 traits that improve your crafting skills.   ARASAI</p><p>Boosts Artificing skills</p><p>Boots Transmuting skills</p><p>BARBARIAN Brewmaster - Boosts Provisioner skills Herbology - Boosts Alchemist skills</p><p>DARK ELF Poison Crafter - Boosts Alchemist skills Pursuit of the Arcane - Boosts Sage skills</p><p>DWARF Weapon Forger - Boosts Weaponsmith skills Master of the Tumpy Tonic - Boosts Provisioner skills</p><p>ERUDITE Scholarly Pursuit - Boosts Sage skills Chemist Boosts - Alchemist skills</p><p>FAE Magical Teachings - Boosts Sage skills Forest Knowledge - Boosts Woodworker skills</p><p>FROGLOK Fervor of Marr - Boosts Armorer skills Zealotry of Marr  - Boosts Weaponsmith skills</p><p>GNOME Forge Invention - Boosts Weaponsmith skills Chemical Calculations - Boosts Alchemist skills</p><p>HALF ELF Ayr'Dal Adornment - Boosts Jeweler skills Gift of the Faydark - Boosts Woodworking skills</p><p>HALFLING Niami's Tutelage - Boosts Provisioner skills Pants Patcher - Boosts Tailor Skills</p><p>HIGH ELF Gilding of Felwithe - Boosts Jeweler skills Estoric Study - Boosts Scribe skills</p><p>HUMAN Metallurgy - Boosts Armorer skills Clothier - Boosts Tailor skills</p><p>IKSAR Whipstitch - Boosts Tailor skills Dark Medicine - Boosts Alchemist skills</p><p>KERRA Gift of the Land - Boosts Chemistry skills Timber Shaper - Boosts Woodworker skills</p><p>OGRE Oggokian Trade - Boosts Weaponsmith skills Rallosian Readiness - Boosts Armorer skills</p><p>RATONGA Poison Play - Boosts Alchemist skills Instruments of the Underfoot - Boosts Weaponsmith skills</p><p>TROLL Troll Gourmet - Boosts Provisioner skills Mender of the Mire - Boosts Armorer skills</p><p>WOOD ELF Gift of the Faydark - Boosts Woodworker skills Faydwer Fashions - Boosts Tailor skills    </p><p> Thank you to Pointytail for supplying this link <a href="http://http://ironfingers.outlands.com/craftgear.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://http://ironfingers.outlands....m/craftgear.htm</a> with pictures and some new items, as well as links to the Fallen Dynasty artisan quests.

<p>re-posting this from the original tradeskill forums</p><p>just noticed that the ogaming links (for the Fallen Dynasty quests) no longer work. I'll track down new links and get them added (hopefully an edit function will appear here so i can add them to original post)</p>

At least the kitty kicking was removed, but I am disgusted to see these other things in this game, it is literally making me sick to my stomach. Where is the sense of decency?

<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff3333; font-family: times new roman,times">Hey Need a question answered please. Where do i find info about what gender and race is better for what class. I also would like to know what bonuses a certain race gets for certain tradeskill. I have looked at eq2 eq2i and tentonhammer and i believe o-gaming. They do not have what I need which is ( let us use this an an example Erudite, Male Mage Sage,  what bonus if any for being male, erudite or whatever) I hopeI am making sense, in other words tell me what race is good at what class and what tradeskill more help on the tradekill bonuses. The links do not make sense to me. I am not a good person to read and comprehend i need al ist like  (a= whatever racial bonus +tradeskill = better tradeskill) I know that humans are supposed to be better tailors cause an an innate ability does this apply to all races ; if so why are the froglucks not represented anywhere, and why is there not a forum guide with this info. I read the Tradeskill forum and newbie yard my questions are not answered at  all (every race but the frogluc )and a concise simple list would be nice ; the links and guides are too confusing. It would help isf someone would just say frogluk or whatever plus this ability makes this a better what ever. Does all this make sense?</span></p>

[Calthine]

The first post in this thread is good.  So is <b><a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g25&menustr=040000000000" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Crafting Racial Traditions Guide</a> </b>at EQ2 Traders.  Gender doesn't make a difference, though, and the racial bonuses are ony +5, so it's no great tragedy if you don't get the racial bonus. Edit:  I should elaborate.  No  stats, like INT, WIS, AGI, have any direct effect on your tradesilling.  So Gender and Adventure class are totally irellevant except in power pool control.  There are small Racial bonuses to various tradeskills available at Adventure level 18.

<p>hmm someone told me that for example an erudite is a better alchemist than a human ,and that is becasue of a racial trait. Is this still true? If so where can i find a complete list , i find it a bit odd that the frog people and oger and the fae are let off of the listsI am looking at. I still would like a racial trait list for the races so i can show my frend which race and which class for what. They want a fury and I told them a half elf fury sage would be good bet they say no the want each race to match the class and tradeskill .Is that possible if so how?  Where is there a complete list? There was one here about a month ago you typed in race and tradeskill and there was a complete list for each race plus the class and tradeskill. Anyone still have that info</p><p>.</p>

[Calthine]

The list of racial traits is about 2/3 down the first post in this thread.  It's also on the link I posted above.  I've never seen a list wher eyou typed in race etc and got matches.

Been in Unrest a few times and have yet to see any priest type items drop that have a bonus to transmuting, will keep an eye out though.

Further, if you messed up and sold your original DWB long ago (like I did), you can purchase ANY type (cloth/leather/chain/heavy) from shady swashbuckler and receive ANY type in return. Unfortunately do not have stats for other types, but I WILL verify the harvest bonuses (+20 each) are the same throughout, they are all fabled items, and for what it's worth, the medium (chain) were a HECK of an upgrade to my mccabe's (the eof-set piece for swashes). Sorry, drifted a tad off-topic... G'Day, -Drakhammor, everfrost

[ashen1973]

<p>Finally got around to re-formatting my original post and adding more information on the reinforced dwarven work boots (many thanks Drakhammor for the extra info)</p><p> still looking for any other item's that help with tradeskilling, though got a feeling we might have them all now <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> (havn't heard anymore on the transmuting item from Unrest, so it probably doesn't exist <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />)</p>

Will having 2 of these <b><i> Reinforced Gnomeproof beaker  +1%</i></b> stack with each other giving 2%?

<cite>Bramwell wrote:</cite><blockquote>Will having 2 of these <b><i> Reinforced Gnomeproof beaker  +1%</i></b> stack with each other giving 2%? </blockquote>If you equip 2 of the same item (i.e 2 of the +1% items) you only get one buff icon. If you equip 2 different items (say a 1% and a 2% item) you get 2 seperate buff icons. This suggests that same items do not stack, but different ones do. Although this is very difficult (if not impossible) to prove with hard numbers.

Any word on racial tradeskill traditions for Arasai? Currently no evil race has rt for Jeweler or Woodworker so that would be the sensible choice for Sony.. or they might just give us yet more Alchemists and Weaponsmith racial traditions... Also how come NO race has a racial tradition that boosts Carpentry?

[Snowdonia]

ATM Arasai have Artificing and Transmuting as Racial Traditions. It only being on test, they could of course change.

[AriesRichmond]

Can confirm that as being true. The Arasai do get transmuting and Artificing.

the tinkered harvesting tools are now (well, been a while now) equalized in use levels miscalibrated = artisan level 30 calibrated = artisan level 46 overclocked = artisan level 68 also, all 3 "tiers" now add +skill like the overclocked the dual tools add some to one skill, some to the other.  the pickaxe (being only 1 skill) gets a double bonus mc = 5.0 / 10.0 cal = 7.5 / 15.0 oc = 10.0 / 20.0 oh, and if it helps, heres the links to 2 of the upgraded boots aITEM 276522618 -472962492:Reinforced Very Light Dwarven Work Boots/a aITEM 1193534150 387072811:Reinforced Heavy Dwarven Work Boots/a

From what I can tell, no race gets a benefit for Carpentry.  Do the numerous Woodworker/Woodworking racial benefits apply to Carpentry?  I have searched the forum and been unable to find an answer.  Inasmuch as the skills used by Carpenter and Woodworker overlap, it seemed this might occur.

From what I have observed  my Half Elf is MUCH better at Carpentry than Fletching. She can complete a Carpentry item nearly as quickly as my level 42 Dark Elf Sage can complete a spell (and she's fast!). When doing a Carpentry item she uses the three progress buttons about 75% of the time to get pristine. On the other hand if I have her try to make a Fletched item I'm mashing the durability buttons about 85-90% of the time and getting extremely aggravated that it feels like it take 5 minutes to make an item. I don't know if something has changed but I don't believe the Half Elf Racial tradition applies to Fletching.

[Darosne]

<p>I have a very important question. If I play a dwarf (-1 sec mining) and use the best mining tool (-2.5 secs), will my total bonus be 3.5 seconds, or is it capped at 2.5? Also, what do crafting skills affect, exactly? The chance of success/failures? Would having, say, 5 points above my normal max make a huge difference? </p><p> Also, I didn't see it, so I'll post it here. Sarnak have a 0.5 sec reduction for all harvesting, and wood elves have a 1 sec reduction for gathering and foresting.</p>

[DasUberFuzzy]

nope, they dont stack.

[Darosne]

<p>Oh. Well, thanks, anyway.</p><p>Also, Half Elves have a -1 sec foresting and gathering bonus as well, and Dwarves have a -1 sec mining bonus. I can't quite remember, but I seem to remember Humans had the same general -0.5 sec bonus as the Sarnak. (I created and deleted repeatedly a couple of days ago to look at various racial and class bonuses).</p>

I was looking over all the dietys which I haven't really done for a long long time, and had no idea what the newer ones do.. and needing to pick a diety for a little character, but anyway...<a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Brell%27s_Hammer_(Weapon)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brell's Hammer</a> should be added to this list. I never noticed that before, it is the highest level blessing of <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Brell_Serilis" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brell</a> and gives you 10 minutes of an uber hammer you can equip for +25 artifacing, metalshaping, metalworking and sculpting. It summons 2 of them in the description, I guess if you can dual wield?Brell is definitly worth using as a diety if you don't need another for a specific reason (honestly they are limited use anyway with the short miracles & blessings and 1 hour recast). There are 4 miracles & blessings that are tradeskill/harvest boosts (one gives you +25 mining for 25 mins). This is a very "fluff" diety IMO, there's a shrink blessing, and also defensive and offensive blessings, and the cloak has a heal proc.

[Brigh]

What?! The apron had the TS stats dropped?! I bought that for a character a few years ago just for that on one server. A bonus was you could use it at a low level for the adv stats if high enough crafter level.

[DasUberFuzzy]

<p>"had", check the post date, that was nearly 2 months ago. The TS stats have been restored since then (AND the adv stuff stayed). its even more awesome and rare to see on the market</p>
