HOW many skillups in 9 attempts??

[Sanna]

So I'm all out of mammoth meat for Halas 10, no one ever has any for sale in the bazaar, and both farming zones are relatively dangerous places to try to farm. (I am on Sullon, after all.) A guildie is so kind to give me some shreds of mammoth material, out of which I end up with 14 Mammoth in Creams.

My baking is 208, my wis is 223 (I'm too low for kei, yeah thanks sony). This skill point came relatively recently, maybe the last stack of combines.



On the THIRD COMBINE...
"You have increased your skill in Baking! (209)"

WHAAAAAAA i'm going wild! A /gu to the guild and I keep going.



Combine, combine, combine, combine, combine, combine --

"You have increased your skill in Baking! (210)"


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Two skillups in 9 combines!

I know the colors are screwed up, the original gif was 141kb, i said 'i don't think so' and got it down to an admittedtly ugly 42.

I'm totally crying (internal) tears of joy here, I remember getting Baking 100 and thinking that 200 was so far far away, much less TWO TEN!


IS THIS NORMAL?? Was the RNG courting me that night? Is Karma going to take it out of my hide the second I hit Smithing 188?

Or should I just shut up and be happy?

SO HAPPY!

hehe happy for you. i have mammoths fillets for sell in luclin bazaar sometimes. charge 3pp each cause i've never found anyone else who is selling to figure out a going price and its a lot harder to kill a mammoth than a spider. /shrug let me know what a good price for it would be. normally sell like a hundred fillets at the time cause meat yields ten and dont like the bazaar so dont bother less i have at least 100pp worth to sell.

It is certainly Lucky to get 2 skill ups in 9 combines but not abnormal. Many times I will get 2 skill-ups back to back. The RNG is very streaky and only having 9 combines makes it impossible to trend

now if you get another 20 skill-ups in 90 combines you will be very lucky.

I always get skillups in sets of 3, usually within 10 skillups. Mind you, this is usually going a good 200-400 combines without any...

[data9724]

Youre just lucky, RNG tend to be nice once in a while.

My record is 3 skillups in 6 combines in pottery.

Gratz on your skill ups.

I had something similar about 4am this morning.
I was doing brewing and getting about 1 per 20 when someone auc a hq bear pelt.

I went to buy it, came back and 3 skill ups in 6 combines 213, 214, 215. WOOT.

Of course I went another 45 comb without any and then on my last 4 I got 216.
No more Grobb yeah!

I still have the screenshot of me getting my tinkerer from 235 to 239 (4 skillups) in **5** combines.

Those mini-streaks are great. After going from 196 to 214 on 1,000 combines, my most recent session of 200 combines yesterday got me 12 points, including 3 in a row on the last stack.

I'm looking at the 3 skillups on the screen and thinking - that's about 150 combines I don't have to do.
