There is rarely any excess when it comes to Lore tomes (unlike poetics but then i turn those into a quick sands when i end up with 500)

As for the step before umbrite...yes i would suggest you just save them for umbrite vs the oil's but its going to be a far cry from the 24000 lore your going to need :P

and yes Jonnycbad...god do i hope so!
