GM trophy before 250?

[Nurdakin]

ok, i was wondering what is the lowest anybody has ever completed the GM trophy. I heard a friend doing it at 200, not sure if it real or not.

[Dyllwin]

I "think" my brewer made his at around 240. I know my smith made his at 235.

[Quichon]

I wouldn't dare try. Considering you have to blow a 1k (retail) corking device on it plus the ring, it would be expensive to fail. Heck, you fail enough at 250 from what I heard.

[eniamn]

bride the rng and you could get it at skill 0. prolly have to make 100 attempts though and that would get pricey. never heard of a required skill level to do it. a smith has posted a trophy at 168.

[Verick]

I made mine at 227 on my 2nd attempt.

[Rorgg]

Well, 240+5% (Geerlok) is the same skill as 250 plus bonus -- 252 effective is the cap. Go for it when you hit 240, I'd say.

[Ursawraith]

It is possible to succeed with a skill of 200. The Trivial for the combine it >250 but it can certailnly be tried. Chances are it will fail but there is a "chance" for success. I for example made my GM spoon at skill 212.

[Lejax]

I got enough parts to make three artisan's seals, and succeeded on the second one. Skill was 243 + geerlok.

Not a whole lot of reason to try it anytime sooner, unless you don't mind the prospect of losing 2Kp+ every time you fail.

[Eternyty]

friend told me he got his at either 217 or 218 whichever. At 248 + 5% geerlock, I went for the trophy, failed 3 times, success on 4th attempt. So it's not my Brewer's Trophy, it's my 20k trophy

[xaanru]

My druid got his GM corker on the second try, at 200 skill + geerlok.

Also got a skillup, ding 201

I was really only after the corker for him, for the CHA boost for charming.

[Banther]

My Necro made his JC trophy at 197 skill - had an artisan seal knocking around in the bank - really i just did the combine for no reason than to free a bank slot - hit combine and woot made the jewel glass - i never once in a million years thought he would actually make it though !

[Lanalia]

A friend of mine made her Baking spoon at 211.

I made mine at 225.. probably going to try Brewing around 240 or so, since the Corking device is so expensive.

[eniamn]

meldrum in my guild went to 248 on mhb last night and made his trophy first time. not sure if he equipped geerlock or not. he also just wanted a +50 cha item for charm kiting as a bard. had fletching at 202 already.

[Barli]

I feel its better to spend your money first in getting to 250 and then doing your trophy later.

I 1st went to 250 and then it still took me 3 attempts to make my trophy. Thats a lot of plat.

Sure, you may get lucky and get your trophy at 220 but in many people's eye - you won't be a Grandmaster until you get to 250 (without geerlok).

It's really just a choice - status of the trophy or status of having both. Up to you.

My mage got her GM brewing item at 213 on the first try with no geerlok
