Adorning is a Secondary Tradeskill that allows a player to create Adornments. Adornments can add both triggered effects ("procs") or different stats to the equipment they adorn.

Basics
Edit
Unlike primary tradeskills where you earn experience, secondary tradeskills like Adorning use a skill-based progression; you begin with a skill of 1 when you first become a Adorner, and your maximum skill value is your tradeskill or adventure level (whichever is highest) multiplied by 5. To level up your Adorning skill, you must craft adornments.
Please refer to the Transmuting article to determine what components are used to make adornments.
Becoming an AdornerEdit
In order to become an Adorner, visit an Adorning Trainer in one of the following locations:
- Sala Maki stands on the south west side of the docks in Butcherblock Mountains
- Noora Maki and can be found in Kelethin at ( 414, 89, 236 ) /waypoint 414.36, 88.94, 235.66
Note: You must be a crafter before the Adorning Trainer will allow you to become a adorner as well.
LevelingEdit
In order to increase Adorning skill, you must create adornments using the adorning recipes from the "Essentials of Adorning" and "Advanced Adorning" volumes of recipe books, which can be found from mob drops or bought through the Broker. 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.
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.
Skillup Odds Edit
| Recipe Color Con | SkillUp | Tests | Found % | SOE Official % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grey | 181 | 611 | 29.6% | 25% |
| Green | 14 | 44 | 32.0% | ? |
| Blue | 120 | 231 | 51.9% | ? |
| White | 57 | 97 | 58.8% | 50% |
| Yellow | 42 | 66 | 63.6% | ? |
What might or might not be helpful for advancing your adorning skil in Tier 7:
Both of these items are used for Heritage Quests, and as such require fewer components than are regularly required for T7 combines.
RecipesEdit
- Essentials
The Essential Adornment recipe books can be purchased from Tyla Maki on the Butcherblock Docks or from Sade Maki in Kelethin. They are used for creating "Lesser" (Handcrafted) and "Greater" (Mastercrafted-Legendary) adornments.

- Advanced
Adorning Advanced volumes have recipes to create "Superior" (Fabled} adornments. They are body drops off of mobs in any zone; the level of the mob will directly determine what tier of book can drop.

- Distillations
The 'Distillation' books teach recipes that allow you to "upconvert" parts at an expense (10 to 1), so that you can gain access to things like infusions and manas without breaking down precious loot. These are purchased at standard adorning NPCs.
- 10 fragments to 1 powder
- 10 powder to 1 infusion
- 10 infusion to 1 mana

- Dilutions
The 'Distillation' books teach recipes that allow you to 'downconvert' parts to multiple 'lower' parts (at 1-to-7). This is useful for people skilling up, as recipes start consuming large amounts of fragments and powders. These are purchased at standard adorning NPCs.
- 1 mana to 7 infusions
- 1 infusion to 7 powders
- 1 powder to 7 fragments

SkillsEdit
Adorners have six counters to aid in crafting adornments. You no longer must buy the 6 abilities from the Adorning trainer, though they are still for sale. These abilities are:
