* 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.

Tip: If you use a macro to repeatedly cast the Summon Mana spells, you can have it running at the same time as you do your combines.  The auto-inventory behavior during a "Make All" will make sure to put away the summoned mana for you automatically.

Once you get to level 70+ spells, the rank 2 versions will commonly have a crafted option that the only drop requirement is the "page" type (like Fine Paper).  Those recipes have a trivial well over 300.
