250 GM Fletcher on The Rathe! (Skillup data included)

[Marissya Amberleaf]

Finally did it. =) Was stalled at 240 for a month (fletching burn out!) after making my GM trophy. I was 1 for 3 on trophies, btw (no problems on the seals at all). First trophy attempt was at 233, other 2 at 240.

Skillup Data

NOTE: All this was on mithril champion arrows. Total cost was just under 28k. (SUoS? = Skill up on success: Y indicates I got a successful combine on the
skillup.)

[EDIT - Fixed the incorrect 138% as noted below. Huh. Weird. /em takes a note to check the Excel spreadsheet Monday.]

Thanks for showing the data and the cost, makes me rethink my skillup path.

Wheee

Congrats!! Interesting info, seems to have hell levels where you need a lot of combines to get past. Am stuck at 213 myself, doing acrylia arrows when i can get the stuff.

[Marissya Amberleaf]

Oh, BTW...

All skillups were done with 255 wisdom and geerlock. Skillups 241-250 with the trophy.

Congratulations! and thanks for the nice skill-up data too!! Only prob I can see is from 227-228.....138% success?? We should all be so lucky!

One thing to notice in your data. The chances of a really long unsuccessful run seems to diminish as the skill increases. Probably has something to do with the RNG. I know alot of people complain about the RNG, but as someone who works with math alot, I can say that there is really no such thing as a perfect RNG, and its really tough to get one that is even reasonably good.

One thing to consider doing is to limit the total combines at one time to something like 10. If no success in that time, then take a break, and come back in a few min or so. Might avoid those really long streaks.
