Adorning

For a categorical listing of adorning-related articles, see Category:Transmuting.

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
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) * 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 Adorner
In order to become an Adorner, visit an Adorning Trainer in one of the following locations: Note: You must be a crafter before the Adorning Trainer will allow you to become a adorner as well.

Leveling
In order to increase Adorning skill, you must create adornments using the adorning recipes from the "Enigma of Adorning" and "Enigma of Adorning Advanced" lines of recipe books, which can be found from mob drops or bought on Broker. To level your adorning skills, you should only create TREASURED items, as these only requires fragments and powders, whereas LEGENDARY and FABLED requires Infusions and Manas that commonly 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 Enigma of Adorning 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 (treasured, legendary or fabled) or the quality of the produced item (crude, shaped, normal or pristine) but making a higher quality gives you back some of the components used in the recipe. It sometimes seems that certain recipes have a higher chance of granting a skill up, but this impression may be a statistical fluke. (Data from a statistically meaningful test would help clarify this.)

Advanced Adorning Advanced volumes have recipes to create Legendary and Mastercrafted 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.
