Binding Powders and You!
By Stillwaters Rundeep.

Combines
All binding powder combines use the same basic recipe, tired against the binding powder your using. Binding Powders are used to make Enchanted Spell Parchments.

Exempli gratia:

Modest Enchanted Spell Parchment

- Modest Binding Powder (farmed) - Modest Binding Solution (vendor bought) - Modest Spellcaster's Empowering Essence (summoned) - Piece of Parchment (vendor bought)

There are 11 powders you can use to make enchanted spell parchments. Powders and trivials are listed below.


 * 58 - Crude
 * 83 - Makeshift
 * 118 - Elementary
 * 152 - Modest
 * 192 - Simple
 * 232 - Binding
 * 272 - Refined
 * 312 - Intricate
 * 352 - Elaborate
 * 392 - Ornate
 * 432 - Rune

You will need to make the proper essences for your combines. The summoning spells are no trade, so you will have to make them yourself.

Empowering Essence spell recipes

 * Darkwater's Essence Recipe Guide

So, you made an enchanted spell parchment. Great! What next?


 * Scroll of Strike

I am only listing one possible combine, the fire one, however, there are other possible combines off of any type of enchanted spell parchment:


 * Modest Scroll of Fire Strike

- Modest Enchanted Spell Parchment - Ink of Ro - Quill of the Arcane

See how easy that was? Combine ink of ro and quill of the arcane with any enchanted spell parchment and you'll get a --- scroll of fire strike. Listed below are the trivials for all fire strike combines.


 * 75 - Crude
 * 100 - Makeshift
 * 135 - Elementary
 * 170 - Modest
 * 210 - Simple
 * 250 - Binding
 * 290 - Refined
 * 330 - Intricate
 * 370 - Elaborate
 * 410 - Ornate
 * 450 - Rune

As you can see, each powder represents 2 combines.

Suggestions
There are a lot of binding powders, but why waste time collecting every kind? I suggest using only 3 to get your skill up.

1) Modest

2) Binding

3) Elaborate

Using these powders will get your skill up quickly.

Hope that helps!
