Trophies Question

[Mike]

Im at 236 baking and was wondering when is best to try for a trophy?

All trophies trivial at 250+. The lower you are from there, the bigger chance of failing. At 250, from what I've read, there's roughly a 50/50 chance of making the trophy. Personally I'm not going to attempt my pottery trophy til I hit 250. Considering how expensive they are to attempt, I'd wait til then.

failed twice at 232 skill
failed twice at 249 skill

finally have the plat and gems to try again but having troubles chasing down the enchanter to make the mana vial =p

there are just as many tales of joy from folks who did it first try, though. good luck to you!

Random. Personally it's not worth it till you get about 238. Skills max out at 252, so with a regular geerlok you'll have your best shot.

I will keep saying this as long as people keep asking...

I got mine on my second attempt at 210-214 (I really wish I had paid more attention)

I started with 3 seals and was ready to burn them all up if need be cause I really wanted my spoon!!

Talk about random... If you have the money to spare and not freak out if you fail, go for it! If you are just going to whine if it fails then maybe you should wait. /shrug

Just keep in mind there are many of use who got our spoon faster at lower levels then those that have tried with a skill of 250. :roll:

Made mine at 228 skill.. 3rd attempt, 1st at 198 cause I was bored, 2nd at 215 I think.. :roll:

Going for mine again tonight

Hit 250 last night, tried(with geerlock) for spoon, and the RNG wasn't with me, i failed, boo- hoo, time to sell some picnics and do some porting
I just wish you could smith the chunks of velium you forage into bars some how, i'd give my right arm to not have to pay 525pp per set of bars of velium******************************decided to just edit instead of repost so as to not waste space*******************************
tried again after school, no work today yeah, took me a couple of hours to find a jeweler to mount my gems but found one, they didn't fail, i made the seal my self, it lagged a bit when i fired and i thought i lost it, i was going to go ape droppings, but it was succesful, then went to the lost turnip, put the geerlock on popped into oven the seal and spoon, and asked guildies for luck, and voila where there was the gm spoon on combine...any body on drinal need a set of baking geerloks your's real cheap...PST....thx....now for hero parts and justice fruit come on lvl 46

[Mike]

I always feel bad when I read these posts... I made mine on my first try.. and the best part was that I did not pay a cent for the materials... One of my guild enchanters was nice enough to just give me all the pieces.

My plan is simple. Get to 226 (trivial on Halas meat pies), then use the profits from said carnivorous delights to fun my trophy attempt(s). Yes, I'll be trying at 226 (with geerlok). If all goes well, I'll have 10 extra Wisdom to carry me through MTPs. =)

I am pretty sure I will wait till 245 at the least. Im a poor cleric so gems usually get turned into peridots or goodies like GVD's and Shrinking devices.

I like toys, shame they use lots of batteries though. :shock:

[Danae]

Tried and failed at 240.

Tried and failed at 245.

Tried immediately after hitting 250, grats me on trophy.

[Noni DeeCups]

So what was the outcome Dewback??

[Tiniane]

I wasn't brave enough to try mine until I gained 250 skill in baking.

Succeeded first attempt (with geerlok).

Hubby has so far failed two attempts at his Grandmaster Jewellers Spyglass (at 250 skill plus geerlok).

They're non trivial at 250 skill, if you want your best chance of success get the skill first.

Hugs,
Tiniane.

I made mine at 201 Tailoring first shot. I tried it because I had read that there was a mesasge somewhere that there might be a cap on the combine that you could not attempt it so low. I got the gems and mounted them up and grabbed the mana in the bazaar and went to work and hit combine and almost fell out of my chair when I got my needle.

Yes I know this is baking but I posted my part first becasue my friend with 250 in baking has tried 4 times and failed all 4.
