That warriors can get. Herbs, poisonist, bookbinding, what do you think?

Herbs out of those three, I would think.

Poisons is rather worthwhile too. The only issue would be can you effectively obtain all poisons? If so, I'd say it would make as much gold as herbs.

Definitely NOT bookbinding.

I'd think Poisons...

The side benefit of poisons is that you shrug more, and herbs gives you faster herb balance, correct?

If I had herbs I could use sparkleberry while bashing I would think... decisions decisions! Poisonist might fit my roleplay better but I've made enough sacrifices in that area as is by now perhaps.

Poisons or Herbs, your choice really

For profti?

HERBS!

It's easy: time = gold.

And you will find people who will want to buy herbs. Just be patient.

I had few really nice orders when i was herbalist. Like when Tuek or Lazul boughtt me out and left me only with 100k gold.

I'd say herbs (requires more TIME) or poisons (requires somewhat less TIME but lets you kill stuff).

There're a LOT of herbalists though, so unless you can spend a lot of time getting herbs to sell, you can't really make much. By the way, sparkleberry is kind of hard to get. You can only get them on the Astral Plane I think. They sell out like no tomorrow though.

No one seems to be mentioning the down side of herbs, there are a few.(as I've heard from a few herbalist I know, but you can tell from the desperate news postings they make as well.)

1.Replanting. It takes a lot of time, and while you are replanting you are just spending a lot of it for no profit.

2.Herbalists who are idiots. Be they harvesting during hybernation(effectively killing off the crop for everyone for the coming year) or just stripping everything like mad without replanting like they should(because "like omg! that's so boring!") these people are soming to watch out for.

If you've got a lot of time on your hands and are willing to devote yourself to replanting things and can stand the idiot herbalists who just strip everything, then yes go herbalist, because you can make the most money that way.

Me? I doubt I'd ever do that as there are enough things to deal with in other aspects of the game, I don't need to get upset every single time I go on because people are overharvesting/not replanting.

Being a poisonist would be very useful for a warrior because with just a tiny bit (7 lessons covers it I think) in combat you can apply poisons to a weapon. And poisons are a wonderful way to load on more afflictions on your enemies if you apply them to your blades/axes/whatever.

When you trans it you also get to pick 1 poison that from then on -you- will be immune to. Alternatively, the herbs trans ability is herblore, which gives a tiny boost in how fast you can eat herbs.

It's up to you, but if I had a warrior charactor, I'd pick Poisons.

You'll need 50% Adept in Planar as a member of Celest/Magnagora, or 50% mythical in planar as a member of Glomdoring/Serenwilde to even get to Astral by yourself. (technically a Wiccan from glom/seren with 66% Master Astrology and 50% Master Planar would be able to get up there, but then you're stuck up there and can't get down)

You also need to worry about insanity, as herbs takes a large ammount of time, you'll up insane up there before your done replanting and can move onto harvesting, or what not. I've seen a big decrease in sparkleberries since that addition.

You need to worry about the monsters killing you as well, so you'll want Trans Planar while your at it do conglut.

Oh, and then the skill to harvest sparkleberry is the 50% Mythical one as well.


In conclusion to harvest sparkleberries you'll want to have Trans Herbs, Trans Planar, and to be high enough of a level that the monsters don't kill you in one hit, and have enough time to kill afterward trying to get your sanity back.



Bookbinding... (I've touched on the other too I'll give a brief overview of this) ...you get an interesting trans skill from that, a tomb that absorbs differant types of damage and gives you benifits. standard physical damage charges it up with health scrolls, which are similar to sparkleberries, but which specifically target the stat that needs it the most.

They get... some employment from guilds/ect, but not a lot, and certainly not enough to make any sort of regular profit from to rival poisons or herbs.

They get to speak more languages, which is sorta cool, but not needed, and certainly isn't a combat benefit.

Their best regularly selling item I would venture to say would be Protection scrolls, which protect you from a few geo/aqua/hartstone/blacktalon demense skills untill the mage/druid dissolves the field from you. But you don't need to go bookbinding to get that, just buy scrolls from other bookbinders.

I wouldn't go bookbinding if you are looking for combat value/gold making value.

The tome must be wielded to use it during combat, and thus, bookbinding is worthless for a warrior. Do not go bookbinding.

I could be immune to charbydon? wow

That is quite the benefit I must say, I've never heard of that before (are you sure it's not an aetolia thing?). No one actually has charybdon though, I would do mantakaya or the stupidity one.

It's really quite the dilemna, as I want Jelaludin to be peaceful, and thus I'd be frustrated to not be killing bad harvesters. And yet, as a poisonist he probably wouldn't be able to sell to Magnagora. Whatever shall I do...

Charybdon is a venom which mutates differently each time it enters the bloodstream. It mutates into one of the other available venoms. Because it is so unstable in its structure, you cannot become immune to it. However, if you become immune to mantakaya, for example, when charybdon mutates into mantakaya, you will shrug it.

Not to mention you said in your other thread how hard it was for you to get to Astral so forget sparkleberries altogether.

It's really odd how I completely forgot that problem while thinking it over I will probably do poisons then.

I'm not a warrior, but I've found cooking to be very profitable. I have the only decent food shop on the southern side of Lusternia and from what I've seen just about anywhere. It's very very profitable for me because I have a spatula and even when I'm charging each item at what I paid for the comms I'm still making a profit as my spatula spits out 4-6 items each time I cook something instead of just the regular 2. So I could spend 50 gold on comms, make four items, price each thing 50 gold and it's still considered resonably priced, giving me 150gold in profit.

Spatula ftw! I am a cook right now actually but only novice. I figure I should get something that matches the class better and I probably won't have a shop.

Well Celest already has a food shop, not to mention Geb, myself and some others ruin the market by giving regular herofetes for Celest

Do pixie arrows count as sleep poison? Probably not but hey.
