> NOW ACCESSING 'MAKING A LIVING: WHAT CAN HELP YOU'... > ... Outside of bonuses from drones and droids and the general bonus just being in Cloud Court gives you, here are some other things you can do to make your tech life a little easier. 1. Spellsongs. The best spellsongs are gotten through singing. You'll need to train singing, and until there are some changes, spell research to learn singing spellsongs. You need to find or buy the music to STUDY to learn each spellsong. There are also other spellsongs using other instruments that may be helpful, though I have no experience with them such as Housebreaker's Revel (winds) which increases security. Also, it takes 74 in singing and in spell research to learn Mender's Verse (which a performer must notate for you since it can not be bought). I am unsure of the other requirements for non-performers. Spellsong What it does Cook's Ditty Helps with alchemy, cooking and poisons Mender's Verse Helps repair, tailoring, and craftmanship Battle Chant Helps tactics 2. Potions. Potions give you bonuses when you drink them. The better the alchemist that made it, the higher the bonus and the longer it lasts. There are other potions too, but these relate directly to the tech profession Potion What it does Deftness Raises Coordination Brilliance Raises Intelligence Sight Raises Perception (except if you have cybereyes) 3. Build a fire. Fires gives bonuses to core skills, like repair. It will also give bonuses to alchemy and to pulse weapons. Written By: Kit Murphy
