Adorning

               ==Leveling==

In order to increase Adorning skill, you must complete adorning combines using any of the adorning recipes. To level your adorning skills, you might choose only to create "Lesser" quality (Handcrafted) adornments, as they require only fragment and powder components, whereas "Greater" (Mastercrafted-Legendary) and "Superior" (Fabled) adornments require extra powders as well as Infusions and Manas that are more expensive components. Another popular option is to use the Dilutions series of recipes to turn lower-tier (and less valuable) manas and infusions into powders and fragments which can then be used to craft lesser adornments. This path gives chances of skillups both from the dilution combines and from the finished adornment crafting.

An easy way to only have relevant recipes show up in your recipe book is to set up a filter on the adorning skill. You will not get a skill up on every combine.  It takes a large amount of transmuting components in order to gain enough skill to scribe the next Volume, be it an Essentials volume or and Advanced volume.

Making a white con Adorning recipe offers about a 50% chance of getting a skill up. 
Making a grey con Adorning recipe offers a 20 to 25% (estimated) chance of getting a skill up. 

The chance of getting a skill up is apparently unaffected by the rarity of the item created (handcrafted, mastercrafted-legendary or fabled) or the quality of the produced item (crude, shaped, normal or pristine) but making the highest quality gives you back some of the components used in the recipe. You may ''feel'' that certain recipes have a higher chance of granting a skill up, but this impression is likely just a statistical fluke.

In addition to making the standard adorning items, adorning can be increased by undertaking an [[Adorning Daily Task]], given by NPCs in the same place that you would find work orders. You will be given the components, but not the fuel, for making the 10 items needed for the task quest.  In order to gain the possibility of another skill up, you may perform 1 more combine, as you are given enough materials to perform 11 combines, although the quest only requires 10.  To do this, do not turn in the quest until all combines possible are completed.

The trainers for these daily tasks are all named {{NPC|Londiar Inygad}}. Their locations are in each city's tradeskill area:
* New Halas, {{POI|Raven's Roost}}
* Qeynos Capitol District, {{POI|Ironforge Exchange}}
* Kelethin, {{POI|Tunare's Pages}}
* Gorowyn, {{POI|The Wards}}
* Neriak, {{POI|Neriak Down Under}}
* West Freeport, {{POI|The Coalition of Tradesfolke}}

What might or might not be helpful for advancing your adorning skill in Tier 7:
*[[Enchanted Adamantine Ore]]
*[[Enchanted Azurite Capillary]]
Both of these items are used for [[Heritage Quests]], and as such require fewer components than are regularly required for T7 combines.
