116 – 162 Overview – Cultural Kits
Note: Some races, such as Gnomes, Frogloks, and Half Elves may not be able to buy the vendor ingredient needed for this combine until Dragons of Norrath. I did not personally check each and every race, but most work in PoP while some do not. If you cannot make a Cultural Kit, an alternate path (which will only take you to 142) is listed in the next section.
All races can make Cultural Sewing Kits to get to 162, except Wood Elves who cannot because the trivial on their Sewing kit is only 63. However, Wood elves can make Cultural Fletching Kits up to 163 (see Wood Elf section for combine details). Keep in mind that the combine for the Cultural Sewing Kit must be made in the Cultural Forge of your hometown.
