Classic EQ Tinkering Guide
Tinkering is a race specific Tradeskill in Everquest since only Gnomes can raise it. All Gnomes start out with Tinkering at 50 which is nice as it saves some money for leveling it! The route I chose for Tinkering is moderately costly to raise but it's extremely straight forward which saves a ton of time.
I also strongly recommend that you consider using a Draught of the Craftsman for this process. It's a potion you can purchase from the Daybreak store that gives you a 100% chance to return all failed Tradeskill components back to you. This will greatly reduce the overall cost of leveling the Tradeskill. (May not be available on the TLPs at this time)

Everything can be purchased from a vendor for this combine except Firewater. The Firewater needs to be crafted using Gnomish Spirits and Water Flask. The Shaped Ashwood Bow Staff is made through Fletching; all of the items used in crafting it are vendor purchased. Its Fletching trivial is 148.
I think that this is the highest you can raise your Tinkering in Classic Everquest. If I am wrong then someone please leave me a comment below and let me know of a recipe that goes past 175 in Classic EQ.
