What is in a Tradeskill Department?

When you walk into the tradeskill department in an Omni, Neutral or Clan shop - I am sure you will see many terminals. The terminals will on the whole rotate their stock, especially concerning available quality levels of those items that are not only in one QL.

Nano Cluster Terminals

The implant cluster terminals, Shining, Bright and Faded will stock clusters up to QL 200 depending on the type of store you are in. Remember, there are Basic, Advanced and Superior shops - our Shopping Guide should help you determine where you need to go. If you are not sure what to do with clusters, check this guide on implants.

Implants

This shop sells unaugmented implants. This shop terminal does not sell the set QL implants like the implant terminal in the main part of the shop does. You will find odd QL ranges of implants, which could be just what you are looking for if you are trying to build a set QL implant.

Quality Levels

When tradeskilling most items, the QL of the item is controlled by the QL of the source materials. The QL of the tradeskill raw materials are determined by which store you enter. Generally the following is true:

Basic Shop - Stocks items between Quality 1-50.
Advanced Shop - Stocks items between Quality 30-90.
Superior Shop - Stocks items between Quality 90-200.

Note that Advanced and Superior tradeskill departments are located within the same shop within Neutral stores. Advanced shops are in the room to the left while Superior shops are in the room to the right of the central room.

Note that clean implants never occur above QL 125 in any shop. For implants higher than QL 125, you need to farm them from mobs that drop implants or repeatedly "bump" their quality by adding clusters, and cleaning the implant.

Item Cycling

Items in the shops within the tradeskill department cycle just like all shops. If there are other players present, then it takes 3 hours before the items cycle. If the building is empty, then the items cycle every 15 minutes. Thus, if you are in search of a particular QL item exit the shop and return 15 minutes or 3 hours later depending on whether there are people parked inside the shop.

Last, but not least.

In most Tradeskill departments or very near by you will find a bartender. Treat him nice, it is good to have him around after you have had a busy and stressful time combining your components!! Oh and he also sometimes sells whisky.

Oh, and one more thing...

Yuttos Tools vendors in the Shadowlands can also be a place to find certain tradeskill items. Particularly QL 200 sheets for Carbonum in Penumbra.
