Pottery Secrets

Pottery is generally produced in two stages. In the first stage you combine the appropriate sketch and a flask of water with clay and other materials on a pottery wheel. You then take the result and combine it with firing sheets in the kiln to make a finished product.

As with ALL trade skills, be very sure that a) you do NOT stack any items when combining, and, b) you use water flasks (from a merchant), not summoned or foraged water

Trivial levels listed are player-provided. Please post to the message boards with any trivial updates. All trivials listed are for the combination on the pottery wheel, unless otherwise specified. The actual firing of the piece always has a much lower trivial level.

• The vial of cloudy mana is made by an enchanter using the level 20 Crysallize Mana spell. It requires a poison vial and a peridot as material components
• The vial of clear mana is made by an enchanter using the level 29 Clarify Mana spell. It requires a poison vial and an emerald as material components
• The vial of distilled mana is made by an enchanter using the level 39 Distill Mana spell. It requires a poison vial and 2 sapphires as material components
• The vial of purified mana is made by an enchanter using the level 49 Purify Mana spell. It requires a poison vial and 4 rubies as material components.

Clay conversions

A good "free" source of varying sizes of clay is the Gorge of King Xorbb (aka "Beholder") and the muddites that roam through it.
