Tradeskills Between Disconnects

Tezcatlipocca : Ding 40 alchemist. 90% XP.

Survived internet connection troubles and constant disconnects. But because of all that, restricted myself to tradeskills. If I'm making random refines for vendor sale, the fact that I get disconnected in the middle of one is no big deal; versus, for example, refining a Rare item, or fighting something.

Started out by having Tez continue gathering in Zek, and he managed to pick up maybe 500 different items. This was more than enough - after hitting 39, the refine recipes stayed blue so the XP was still around .4% each.

Did a refine for each item possible at level 40, using Feerrott gathers, to pick up the maximum discovery XP I could get. This took me all the way to 90% XP which is awesome. But the constant connection issue wore me out and I logged Tez at this point.

Huehueteotl : Ding 19, 10% XP. Huey ventured out bravely into Antonica to start gathering. He's ignoring mushrooms and shrubs, and gathering everything else including fish. While he can't use the fish or the items from traps, I do want him to have his skills up above 90 and none of them reached that point during the night.

Went ahead and did the Tie That Binds quest, so he's now ready to completely set up shop in Nettleville. Call in, do vendoring and banking, tradeskill, and then back out. But I think I'll have him head back after his inventory fills up - he's going to need a lot of wood and tubers to do serious tradeskilling, and they cost too much at this tier on the broker.

Thanks to blogger Satia, I now know that even apothecary recipes for resins cost a single fuel. I could have sworn it was two at some point, but it isn't anymore. Huey will be making resins and refining wood, then making boxes when the appropriate place is reached.
