Fanra's Tips

 * As with all tradeskills, do not spend any AAs on increasing your skill above 300 until you have evolved your trophy to level seven. Some combines are trivial just above 300 and you won't be able to use them to improve your trophy if your skill is too high.
 * Unfired Spherical Bottle (trivial 302) will take you to 300 and maximize your trophy for a low cost with all vendor bought items.

'''The simplest combines from this point will be Unfired _____ Hilt Casting Molds. However, these do require silks. I personally did:'''

Unfired Stalwart Hilt Casting Mold to 268

Unfired Extravagant Hilt Casting Mold to 282

I understand that silk supplies are limited, especially when Immaculate and Fantastic can be used for other, better recipes, but other pottery alternatives are tedious and this guide's focus is simplicity and speed. The good news being you can hit 300 and max your trophy without farming anything.

Unfired Star Ruby Encrusted Stein to 335
 * No farming required. This combine may seem pricey, but when compared to alternatives like Power Sources, it's actually pretty cheap.

Stillwaters' guide (may be outdated)
A slight preface to Pottery: It would be a good idea to make real good friends with an enchanter, or just be antisocial and make an enchanter of your own. Or, if you are an enchanter ignore this preface, as it doesn't apply to you.
