Pottery is a two-step tradeskill: you shape clay into an unfired item on a Pottery Wheel, then bake it in a Kiln to finish it. It is one of the simplest skills to grind, since a couple of clay recipes carry you most of the way, and it feeds ceramic parts used by other crafts.
Every combine happens in a Pottery Wheel to shape unfired items, then a Kiln to fire them, found near the tradeskill merchants in most towns. Your Intelligence or Wisdom (whichever is higher) governs your chance to gain a skill point, and a failed combine keeps the container but loses the ingredients, so buy your materials in bulk and expect some waste on the way up.
| Skill | Make | Trivial | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 122 | Medium Bowl (shape on the wheel, then fire in the kiln) | 122 | Water Flask + Block of Clay + Medium Bowl Sketch |
| 122 to 200 | Casserole Dish (shape, then fire) | 199 | Water Flask + Large Block of Clay + Casserole Dish Sketch + Ceramic Lining |
Pottery uses two containers: every item is shaped unfired on the Pottery Wheel and then fired in the Kiln, so keep both handy. This is the classic 1 to 200 grind; recipes continue higher into later eras.
Two stations: a Pottery Wheel to shape unfired clay items, and a Kiln to fire them, plus clay, Water Flasks, and item sketches. Your higher of Intelligence or Wisdom governs your skill gains.
Shape and fire Medium Bowls from 1 to about 122, then Casserole Dishes from there to 200. Pottery is a simple grind, so batch your clay and sketches and work through the two recipes.
You combine clay, water, and a sketch on the Pottery Wheel to make an unfired item, then place that unfired item in a Kiln to bake it into the finished piece. Both steps can give skill-ups.
