Whether for Ring of Ages, nostalgia, or just being a completionist, here's your guide to skilling up those tradeskills you love to hate (sometimes)! I will not cover Tinkering, Alchemy (caps at 120, by the way), Poison, or cultural recipes! Why? Because I don't know them!
Ring of Ages requires GM tradeskill items at levels 59, 69, 79, 89, and 99, in order to advance. The order is Baking, Brewing, Tailoring, Smithing, and Jewelcrafting.
I will tell you which NPCs sell what ingredients useful for raising what tradeskill, most of which are located in or next to Plane of Knowledge. USE CTRL + F TO FIND THE NPC!
Please note: Neriak is only accessible through Non-Custom NPC, as Nektulos Forest is currently closed off to players. The zone name is "neriaka" on the zone name list.

Jewelcrafting
Since money is very easy to attain, I'm providing a skill-up path that's not cheap, but rather large gaps in between. This means that you only have to change ingredients a few times, rather than every few skill-ups.
1. Silver Opal Engagement Ring (50)
2. Topaz Electrum Earring (111)
3. Golden Jaded Bracelet (178)
4. Platinum Malachite Ring (218)
5. Platinum Pearl Ring (252)
(At this point, the price per combine is quite high, and failure rate is unusually common. The highest attainable skill level is 296)
1.
Grandmaster Jeweler's Eyeglass (250) - Glass shard (Elisha Dirtyshoes, PoK), silver bar, artisan's seal.
Pottery
1.
