I have beaucoup status and no patience. Can I buy tradeskill potions like the combat XP potions at the PvP vendors?

I don't know thou, and maybe just going and looking at the vender yourself might garnish an answer faster. Of course you could post this in the PvP forum and they might know off the top of their head.

<p>Why on earth would you want to sit in a tradeskill instance making CA/spells, when you could be <i>using</i> them to melt someones face off?</p><p>I have been buying oathbreakers booster packs for em, but that is getting expensive. Figured I would ask here. Also, this bonus XP thing seems to be making my toon crafter/adventurer gap widen. That means either more plats spent to get CA/spells or not playing while I slowly grind ts xp. </p><p>BTW, does pve not have XP potions? If it didn't that would be a sick joke. Half the people on our servers hate to adventure level. Leveling on our server is often followed by grumblings in guild chat. Most pve like to level right? It would be wierd if they gave us the pots and not to you. Bass ackwards.</p>

Basically with the BOOST to xp the gap will widden for any TS. I mean when I was leveling 2 ts'ers and leveling my adventure level just gathering the current tier's parts would easly get me a level or two that was before these changes. Now it's probably more like 3+ levels you will get just harvesting in the current tier (note pve perspective it might be even more dramatic for PvP). One thought would be to wait for another bonus (maybe double) xp weekend and then just grind your TS using any ts potions you might have. It's not an elegant solution but it would help. I know I boosted my ts'ers alot that way even still that isn't a very sustainable solution. Another thought would be to do the same to TS xp as they did with XP, although I'm sure that will get lots of folks whineing OOH ts's are easy enough as is, blah blah you get the drift without going the whole 9 yards. Then if they would modify the TS xp then what about 2ndary ts's. lol yea you ask for an inch and we are taking a metric mile and then some. This cascade of logic is probably one of the reasons TS xp hasn't been tweaked they (soe) just doesn't want to open that can of beans, or maybe they (soe) feels it's just fine. /shrug I really don't know I'm not them.</p><p>Also yes it is a bit wacked that the pvp servers who are screaming and hollering about how fast they level (this is even BEFORE any changes to boost xp) get XP boost potions that they can buy from a vender but the PvE servers don't get them. /shrug I am sure there is a very logical explination, but frankly at this time of night.... day... well whatever it is now I can't think of any.</p>

I would love to be able to sell my xp potions.I have no use for them otherwise.I have lots of unclaimed ones.Why would I want to shorten my fun by using them?Levelling up to the cap is more fun than being at the cap.If you don't enjoy the process of tradeskilling then don't do it. Let someone sho does enjoy it do it and pay them with the money you earn adventuring.
