Game Mechanics: Broken Tradeskill Combines

[zahlia]

I can't bake cake. DIS IS MOST TRAGICKEST THING EVER TA HAPPEN IN NORRATH! /wail! *holds the back of her hand to her forehead with every last ounce of melodrama a gnome can summon*

Bump:

Is there currently any way left to get to 200 skill in baking and/or brewing or not until Kunark?

Baking to 202 with Pixie Powder Cinnesticks, Brewing to 248 with Minotaur Hero's Brew. You can take one over 200.

In classic the cap was 200, jewelcraft was the only tradeskill to go above 200 for a very long time, but it had humble beginnings and was originally designed not to go over 200. It originally scaled differently and had fewer possible gem combinations. Blue diamonds were only for quests and didn't combine, and most combinations made different things.

Here's a chart of the old combinations (bottom of page), trivials went 3 5 8 10 13 15 18 20, up to 200. 78 combines, two broken recipes, and a new trivial every 2.5 points, rounded up.

I could have sworn I tried Minotaur Hero's Brew right after the last brewing recipes were fixed and the combine was not working. Have you tested that combine recently?

(all items available in WFP)

Nope.

Btw here are some links to some of the classic JC stuff.

Both baking and brewing are able to go higher than they should be able to right now because there are recipes in game that shouldn't be in.

Pretty sure baking should cap at 162 (cakes) and Brewing at 168 (Ginesh, etc).

Advancement in any tradeskill beyond 200 pre-Kunark should not be possible right now in p99.

was wondering about the combine for vegetables. Was it a classic recipe? if so it currently does not work my supply of vodka is limited to foraged atm =/

[mmiles8]

The combine works. Baking has two containers: Spit/Oven, and Mixing Bowl. Always be sure to double check that you're combining in the correct container.

buckler combine not working: buckler mold, sheet metal, smithy hammer, water flask. combine in forge tells me can't combine

As it should be, vegetables were only available from forage in classic, not from a combine.
