  • Skill ups suck

    189 -> 205 skill.

    300 HMP
    200 MTP
    120 Hobgoblin Surprises.

    520 combines for 16 skill ups... that about right?

    Hmm...that doesn't sound too far off actually. I was averaging about 1 skill up per 30 combines at 190+ skill so... 30 * 16 = 480 combines. And thats with 255 wis. So your not doing too bad.

      Consider yourself lucky. From 210 to 250, I did over 1800 combines -> over 45 combines per skillup. Whatever you are doing, you must be doing something right. :P

        You could have made it easier on yourself if you did combines that were closer to trivial...

        I would have done patty melts to 191, then ohabah truffels or pixie cinnisticks to 202.

        Then if you had to, you could do HMP to 226, or if you could get hold of griffon/anaconda meat, go that route.

        Doing MTP for skill ups under 200 is just asking for carpel tunnel...

          Yeah, I've noticed this myself. I started with MTP's at about 195. I'm now at 229 (about 800-1000 combines later). No stopping now, all the way to 229 or bust

          Now if only I hadn't failed that first trophy attempt :roll:

            MTPs for skillups

            "Doing MTP for skill ups under 200 is just asking for carpel tunnel..."

            I'll vouch for that. Did 290 MTP attempts last night, starting at 188 skill. 5 total skillups, with 255 WIS.

            The good news is, I got a little over 100 MTPs made. Since the whole batch cost less than 350pp, that's way cheaper than buying them in the bazaar, and at least I got 5 skillups =)

            Edit - noticed that 5 in 290 doesn't sound THAT bad, and it isn't. But it was a LOT of preparatory clicking, and it felt worse than it was, skillups came on combines 69, 129, 251, 260, and 273. That big stretch of 120 no-skills in the middle was depressing.

            Another funny thing, when making all the components, I left the cake to last. Bought enough for 3 cakes (all I needed), and failed 2 of 3! LOL, bought enough for 4 more cakes, and all 4 worked!
