How to level up Master Brewing Trophy?

[Belkazar]

Anyone know of any brewing recipe that is higher than 336? It would be need to level up the Master brewing trophy. Just to try it out, I made 20 Brut Champaigns with trophy in inventory, and got no percentage increase. Since 335 seems to be the max. Is there going to be a new set of recipes with higher trivials, with the upcoming patch?

I'm not in any hugh hurry or concern, as 12% is way better than only 5%.

Equip the trophy and not in inventory, you will not gain any tradeskill xp if the trophy is in inventory.

Also Misty Thicket Picnic are trival 335 and most of us got the baking trophy to level 7 so 335 is fine.

Experience for the trophy is based on trivial versus your base skill, not modified. You could do 301 trivial with your trophy equipped and every success will still to trophy experience.

The trophy just helps you succeed more, so it can gain experience. Since your skill won't pass 300, you can do any non-trivial combine over 300 to level it.

I believe Ngreth said that the 'XP' received by the tropy is equal to the Trivial (capped at 350)? So the 335 trivs will be worth 11% more per combine -- alternatively you need 10% less combines of 335 vs 301... or have I got that completely wrong?

That's not actually been my experience. I did 3 bazu bone bows with a trivial of 302, my unmodified skill is 283, and my modified skill is 306. My trophy was equipped in primary, and it received no experience from 3 combines.

Either we're not comprehending Ngreth's words (because I originally believed as you do), or it's not working as intended.

For the Baking trophy it was taking 10-11 335 combines to get a percent. Even the easiest tradeskill would take 4-5 combines to get 1 percent...so 3 just isn't enough, even for a 335 trivial. 302 would give slightly less.

Edit: Just noticed that you are on level 5...so those numbers might not match quite right...but I suspect that 3 is still not enough. Try a few more.

Or you need more than 3 combiens to see a % change.

or your BASE skill is not 300...

[ChaseFV]

True enough, my base skill was not 300, but I would think that a combine nearly 20 points over my base skill (base=283, modified=305, triv of combine=302) would result in some change. It was my understanding that as long as you were doing combines with a trivial greater than your base skill, you would see a change. However, with your added info that the number of combines also plays into the mix, that gives me more to go on. I think with the rarity of supplies for that particular tradeskill, I have managed only 7 total combines since earning my Expert's trophy. I've not yet bothered to work on my brewing trophy because I hate competing for old man Underfoot's stuff.

Thanks big guy!

You do get skillup if the trival is above base skill. you just need to do multiple combines as it is anywhere from 5 to 11 per 1% depending on the trophy. Last I heard only alchemy is broken but I dunno what else if you're still not getting skill up with combines while having the trophy equipped.
