I was pretty sure you can get 250 here. The Idol combines are Classic I thought.

The Golden Idols obviously are not but I think those were. I don't see any reason why they couldn't be made, all of those components are sold or obtained in Kunark or Classic zones.

That post in September 2001 proves they functioned in Velious.

Now that I think about it... WTB Idol of Inny and Idol of Tunare.

If i remember correctly, it's the Celestial Essence (that is part of Unfired Idol Recipe?) that is non-classic? You can make it by combining a lot of different things but 'The Scent of Marr' is the easiest one IIRC.

I played on Fippy Darkpaw as first a master Jeweler and then I leveled up Pottery. There is a HUGE gap in terms of trivials to make these idols. I believe the Tunare one was pretty low and then all the others have crazy high trivials - most of them having a pretty massive failure chance even then.

It was also ridiculously expensive to level up as I believe it was Star Ruby Encrusted Steins? that required a 68p gem to make but sold for silvers.

FWIW idols were awesome in Fippy as they were by far the best ranged slot for... everyone with a deity.... I sold them for 10k a pop and they had a net cost of just under 3k assuming you could buy permafrost crystals, iron oxide, and find the right shamans/clerics to imbue your pebbles and you had a chanter that would make the vials.... oh yeah that's why i could charge so much. Glorious times.
