Classic EQ Pottery Guide
Pottery is one of the more straight-forward Tradeskills to level in EQ. It is expensive, yes and it is time consuming but there aren't many recipes you have to jump back and forth between. Also once you get your Pottery skill up you can make Golden Idols of <insert deity here> which can be sold to players for usually around 2500pp. Pottery definately is a profitable Tradeskill to raise but from what I've heard it is very costly, so be warned if you're thinking about diving into it. Also, as with all other tradeskills to start off head to your Classes Guildmaster and train the first 21 points.

Once you have all the ingredients together place them into a Pottery Wheel and hit combine.
(Alternative Route)
If you decide to go this alternative route then you will want to make the Unfired Opal Encrusted Steins into Opal Encrusted Steins to sell for maximum profit. It is a fairly simple combine which I will explain how to do when I finish making this Pottery Guide.

This is probably the best route you can follow to max out your Pottery at this point. It will be much cheaper than the Idols and you can sell the Star Ruby Encrusted Steins to boxers or to players just looking to stack resistances. Truthfully, I have seen them sell better than the Idols on some serves (Ragefire, Lockjaw) whether it be the boxers or the Mitigation of the Mighty - that's just my experience.

(Optional Route)
Now there are a few different types of Idols that you can make for this combine, all of them requires a Cleric, Druid or Shaman to imbue a certain gem for you to use in the recipe. Note that the deity of those three classes does matter in the imbues. The three different gems you will need to be imbued are as follows:
(Note that the above three imbues are just the easiest to get, there are more than what is listed above)

Once you have whichever imbued gem you choose to use you will want to combine that and the following in a Pottery Wheel
Once you have the Unfired Idol you will want to combine it again into an actual idol which can be used by players and sold to them.
