[[Vial of Velium Vapors]] or '''"Thurdagin Gate Pot"''' is arguably one of the easiest, if not the cheapest "gate" potions that one can acquire in Everquest. With as little as ~1pp per combine, anyone can have continuous access to rapid transportation to Velious from just about anywhere in Norrath with 3 simple things:

Working on a more visual guide for creating {{SmIcon|1160}}[[Vial of Velium Vapors]].

*'''FARMING:''' Though there are a few places that Crystalline Silks and Velium can be farmed, Crystal Caverns is the lowest level area and offers the quickest and easiest way for a solo farmer to obtain their materials. Crystal Caverns is in Eastern Wastes which is connected by 3 zones: Iceclad Ocean (get there by boat or Druid port), Kael, and Greater Divide (also has a Druid port rings). When entering Crystal Caverns, you can clear from the top to the bottom with Velium drops mostly near the top and Crystalline Silks mostly near the bottom. Don't forget to check vendors for materials others may have sold to them.

Vial of Velium Vapors or "Thurdagin Gate Pot" is arguably one of the easiest, if not the cheapest "gate" potions that one can acquire in Everquest. With as little as ~1pp per combine, anyone can have continuous access to rapid transportation to Velious from just about anywhere in Norrath with 3 simple things:

  • a small investment in Pottery
  • faction with Thurgadin Dwarves
  • a bit of farming in Crystal Caverns


Here is a brief overview on these:

  • POTTERY: There are other guides out there on this and it is a very cheap crafting skill to work on. You will need 122 for the first combine to be trivial.
  • FACTION: For starters, those that don't have faction with the Thurgadin Dwarves, killing giants and working on your faction is priority. Though you could theoretically have a mule purchase the materials needed for the combines, you will still need to be non-kos with Frundle Frenkler to receive the Velium Purifier that is needed for the final combine.
  • FARMING: Though there are a few places that Crystalline Silks and Velium can be farmed, Crystal Caverns is the lowest level area and offers the quickest and easiest way for a solo farmer to obtain their materials. Crystal Caverns is in Eastern Wastes which is connected by 3 zones: Iceclad Ocean (get there by boat or Druid port), Kael, and Greater Divide (also has a Druid port rings). When entering Crystal Caverns, you can clear from the top to the bottom with Velium drops mostly near the top and Crystalline Silks mostly near the bottom. Don't forget to check vendors for materials others may have sold to them.
