Adept III rares 50-70

[dagoo7]

Relative noob to EQ2 so please excuse the ignorance.  Now that I've reached 54 and climbing steadily, I am increasingly looking to invest in upgrading my key CAs and buffs to Adept III or Master I.  However, Master costs are becoming prohibibitive and I am utterly clueless when it comes to crafting (currently lvl 2 artisan). 

 

As I understand it, the best route to get Adept III's made is to acquire the appropriate rare and then seek out a crafter that can turn it into the respective ability scroll.  However, I'm clueless as to what rares I need and even what kind of crafter makes our abilities.  Is there a guide somewhere to which I can refer?  Tried searching forum but not having much luck sorting out useful posts from unrelated ones and much info pretty dated and not taking into account 60-70.

 

Once again apologize for the ignorance and any direction appreciated.

This is an easy one

Tier 6 rares you need are either Rough Pearl or Vanadium Clust, these are harevested from soft rocks in DoF zones.

Tier 7 rare you need is Rough Moonstone, harvested from soft rocks in KoS zones.

All of our skills, whether app 2-4 or adept 3 are made by a jeweller.

I suggest only upgrading skills from level 57 onwards, these will not be replaced by skills once you reach level 70.

Also, make sure you get Ruthless Cunning made, it a special one off skill at level 35, you need a Rough Opal or Ruthendium (bad spelling I know) and again a jeweller to made, ask first if s/he has the recipe cause they will need to have obtained a special book.

Also, Hurricane, Hail of Steel and Lung Puncture you should upgrade to adept 3, they are Ancient Teachings and are not replaced at 70. (yes I know Lung Puncture is 58, so you would get it anyway)

 

Hope this help, if you need anything else, just post in here.

Thanks.  That's exactly what I was looking for. 

I was lucky enough to find the Adept III for ruthless cunning on broker when I hit 35, so I'm good there.  Just need to prep myself for some mindnumbing harvesting in the coming weeks for the rest.

Approaching 57 and getting ready to start having some Adept III's made, however I have a few more annoying noob questions.  Hoping a kind soul could provide some quick confirmations/clarifications:

1. For tier 60 abilities, are rough pearl or vanadium cluster for abilities 57-60 interchangeable, or do certain abilities require one or the other?  Am I correcct in assuming that tier 6 includes lvl 60 abilities?

2. Started some harvesting, but wanted to verify that "soft rocks" refers to rock/mining nodes like "red rocks" in PoF as opposed to the crystalline type mining nodes.

3. If I provide a jeweler with the appropriate rare, what is generally consider a fair price (both T6 and T7) for jeweler to do the combine, including any other requisite material costs?

Thanks in advance for any input.

I think from memory red rocks are hard metal, if you are getting indium from them, look at the other type. The crystal looking ones yield soft rares.

3. If I provide a jeweler with the appropriate rare, what is generally consider a fair price (both T6 and T7) for jeweler to do the combine, including any other requisite material costs? This would depend on server and the greed of the person making it for you.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I think all you need for Ruthless Cunning is Woad Ink actually.
