Tradeskills Items: Where to get them?

[markgagne]

I wanted to compose a list of tradeskill orientated items that exist in the game, and specificly I wanted to create a reference as to where each of them can be found. I know that as an engineer such a list would be invaluble to me, and also to any others who do not have AO mapped out loot-wise.

These are to be tradeskill enhancements items only (ie anything that helps boost trade skills). Feel free to post anything that modifies tradeskills, regardless of whether or not it has a profession restriction. I am hoping that by collaborating on this the engineer community can provide a very efficient, and useful reference to all tradeskillers.

*NOTE: My list as it stands was drafted from a clan perspective, but as this should benefit all, I will happily update it to reflect a universal resource.

Some of my personal favorites:

• Arwen MO-404 Grenade Launcher
  Purchased in the Trader Shop
  
• Miiir Male Underwear - Spacecraft Engineer Drawers
  Purchased in the Miiir Clothing Store

Also, I believe Field Quantum Physics Tutoring Devices are currently not available in stores, only as loot. Honestly I haven't checked in the last two patches but I doubt it's been fixed.

Kevlar Wool Balaclava Helmet

Agent only.

Also the EN-RAL gun is a rollable item.

Your forgetting Azure pants from the OTA crew

[Highorbit]

Addition..

A4000 NCU sheet also drops off the Modified A-4001 in Wailing Wastes (Near Supply Master Smug).

This one has the advantage of 5 minute respawn.

Your co-ordinates for the A-4000 in Avalon are incorrect... should be 1100 2500.

Superior Sentinel Armor Pants also add 8 to EE.

Nice list though

[_______________Nooki]

Gotta have your Nano Programming Interface from the shop.

I use an Omni Intern-Op Coat for the buffs. I believe it is mob/chest loot only.

[markgagne]

Updated with the new info from replies.

[totalkaos]

wanna know the best part of this???

I HAVE THEM ALL!!!!!!!!

cept the clan, and agent crap

/gloating off

[_____________Navitas]

Construction sleeves are found in all three subways.

[Mercatura]

Yep, for some reason QT tutoring devices never appear in shops. I even tried "camping" the implant vendor a little bit, which sells a random type of tutoring device at the bottom.

They tend to show up in chests somewhat often though, which could save you some blitzing. (plus nobody else in the team wants them)

Tk, go back to your tradeskill cave! ...er shop

PS, the buffing pistols show up in shops at the right qls once in awhile.

[Kzak]

Don't forget the O.E.T. Jess, as +20 int/psy does help most tradeskills with several points.

EDIT: They can be rolled up in normal missions.

[Destractor]

Don't forget the Advanced Head Skinchip - ICC Engineer

Neutral only, but still a nice trade skills item

[occi]

Very nice info for us fresh Engies.

Could we root this page?

[Darksyphon7]

VTEggs...cant forget those....

[Bothead]

Shades of Lucubration add a nice 30 Int/Psy, which should trickle down nicely into several tradeskills too

[Kzak]

The other skinchip, the temperature-based one.. gives +10 to CompLit at QL200.

The tradeskill lvl 50 at for engineers (repairmans hat) will give you more tradeskills than shades. If your not a engineer then might as well use em.

[Krabbus]

next patch can you actually make yourself a Mechanical Analyzer (was it 4 ME for each of them?) - it's a part of the Upgraded Solar Pistol

[Highorbit]

One more for you...

http://aomainframe.info/showitem.asp?AOID=165459

For some Dustbrigade Commander Gloves from the general guy in Pertetual wastes.

I'd have made the link look nice and stuff but I can't be bothered to look up how to do it

[markgagne]

updated the list. Thanks for the continual feedback.

I meant to update this thread much much sooner but I was unable to post/edit anything in the AO forums for quite some time now.

Now that the problem has been fixed I can maintain this list.

[Kzak]

The T70 Beyers can also be bought in the Advanced shops when the QL available is right. I know, I bought my pair of Beyers there.
